A special meet in; of the East pennsboro Township Board of Co~issioners was held on Wednesday, Auqust 27, 1997, at 5:30 p.lII. at the community and Municipal Center, 98 S. Eno1a Drive, Enola, Pennsylvania. Those present were: comm1asioners ~ Georqe OeMartyn, President, Philip 5griqno1i, Vice President; James Hertzler, Dolores HcAlister and Charlea Yohe, Robert L. Gill, Township Manager; and Henry F. coyne, Township Solicitor; Lisa Coyne, and Deborah Thornton, township st$ff. I. CALL TO ORDER President DeMartyn called the meeting to order. The Pledqe of Allegiance to the Flag was enunciated by all present. Mr. Gill noted tor the board that the special meeting of the Board of Commissioners was properly advertised. The purpuse for the meeting is for consideration,of the Center Street relocation project. Mr. Gill reported that on August 12 he received a phone call from iennDOT for a status report with the right-Of-way takings and how it was proceeding. Penn DOT is required, by the first week of September, to tile a form called with the Federal government which allocatos money for constructJ,on purposes of the Federal funded projects, of which Center street is one. A form also is being filed for the Overview Bridge project that guarantees and sets aside the construction money under the Federal rules and regulations. It must be done, according to PennOOT, in the first week of September in order to guarantee these funds for the next construction year. We reassessed our evaluation of property owners that have eilher full takings or pa~tial takings with regard to the Center Street relocation. We got letters out to the property owners outlining a r~vised offer trying to settle with them. In that letter it was stated the township is under the deadline of August 31 and it we did not receive at least a verbal commitment, that we would have to file declarations of taking because the township must guarantee when PennOOT submits to the Fede~al government the right-of-way for Center Street relocation.

The construction costs are esti~8t~d at $6 mi1lionl e640,000 has already been spent in the preliminary plan. Mr. Gill noted that of the 40 properties that the township has negotiated for, 95 percent of which are township residents, possibly one and maximum ot three possibly will be outstanding and for which the board may have to file for taking. Mr. Gill thanked all the town9hip residents that he has negotiated with for their cooperation during the negotiations. Mr. Gill further reported that the township has received donations as of today valued at $647,000 from Pennsylvania Blue Shield, East Pennsboro Township has a donation of acreage through the park, snd Laurel Hills Development has donated. Other donations are still being negotiated. Mr. Gill reported that the bid opening is scheduled for the first week of December. Construction would start the end of February, the first week of March, as of today. Mr. Coyne noted for the board and pUblic'S edification that what would happen is any property owners with which an agreement could not be reached under the Eminent Domain Code, the township has the right to file a declaration of taking in the courthouse in Carlisle, and then after a period of time the property becomes the Township's, subject to a Board of View. They come out and look at the site and then they have a hearing on it, the appraiser testifies as to value as to the township as well as the property owner's, and then they ultimately make a decision. And then that decision within 30 days if either party, either the township or property owner, is not satisfied they can go to court and then the disposition of the court would be a trial by jury or trial by judge alone. And if it is a trial by jury or judge alone, the trial can come out and look at the site. MOTION adopting Resolution No. 1997-18 of the Township of East Pennsboro, Cumberland county, authorizing the necessary condemnation for acquisition of right-Of-way in accordance with a plan submitted by PennDOT and recorded in the Elecorder of Deeds Office, and the acquisition of riqht-of-way would be by way of eminent domain to acquire property from property owners ..ho are not willing to convey to the townShip, was made by Mr. Sgriqno1i, seconded by Mr. Hertzler, and passed by a unanimous aye vote. ../1'/ 89/38/1997 13:12 7177327818 EASTPENNSBOROTWP Board of Commissioners August 27, 1997 Page 3 MX. Hertzler commended the Township Manager and all the statf of the township for keeping these construction projects at the forefront, Center street and overview Bridge. A$ a result of Commissioner DeMartyn and Commissioner Sgriqnoli's leadership, Center Street has been a top itam. Th~ staff keeps the board up to date on it and the board tries to move it forward a. quickly AS possible and there have been some glitches with respect to running into various elements of Federal and State bureaucracies, but we have tried to do everything we can to move tbis forward. Mr. Gill noted that the administrative staff has done an outstanding job. The township could not have moved ahead as well as it has without their dedication. It has been an overall staff effort. Mr. coyne noted for the record that ultimately all the acquisitions, including the wetlands up in the Newville area to remediate the taking of the wetlands will be assigned to PennDOT. Mr. Gill stated that it is a State road and even though the township has acquired property, all the right of ways will be going to PennDOT and old Center street will be going back to the township. All the property purchases will be in the Township's name and we have to get it back to PennDOT's. Mr. Coyne noted that this is a unique situation and some area Solicitors have contacted him and asked how East Pennsboro has been able to do this without outside help, outside consulting engineers. ~resident DeMartyn thanked everybody on staff who has come through to get the township to this point. Mrs. McAlister suggested that in renaming Center Street, since the township has been a first class township since 1952 and has had a Board of Commissioners, it would bestow an honor to all ~he Township Commissioners if it were named Commissioner Drive. It each person who has been a representative of the community could attend the grand opening of CommisaiQner's Parkway or Drive, it would be an honor. MOTION adopting Resolution 1997-19 of the Township of East ~ennsboro, Cumberland county, authorizing the acquiaition of an easement for 9.0945 acres for construction of replacement wetlands in West pennsboro Township, Cumberland County, for mitigation purposes of a portion of Center Street, was made by PAGE 83 leY I,,", t?
