He stated it is to encourage businesses to improve their business. He mentioned that the County has designated the areas. Mrs. O'Brien-Pieja asked if every area in Berks County is economically distressed; Mr. Smith replied no, the County has identified an area that would be appropriate for the a LERTA. Mr. Smith asked Mrs. O'Brien-Pieja if she has seen the map; she replied no. Mrs. VanderLaan pointed out on the map the areas designated for a LERTA by the County. Mr. Bukowski stated it really focuses not on the income of the residents, but on the area and the statute allows the designation by the Township Board of Supervisors by either blighted or distressed properties or deteriorated properties or areas. Mr. Bukowski stated this not a declaration by the Board of Supervisors that the area is distressed or impoverished; he stated it is designed to spur revitalization to areas that are underperfoiming economically and to increase the commercial tax base. Mrs. VanderLaan stated she raised the question of the blighted or distressed designation to Shannon Rossman, the Executive Director of the Berks County Planning Commission; she stated this is a standard definition in the original LERTA language. She stated the County looks at this as a way to designate areas that are not economically performing and allow development to come in. She stated this plan is a partnership with the County; she stated the County has identified these areas, and if we join this program, it will fast track the process to be eligible for the LERTA program. She stated the applicant would need to submit an application and it requires a long criteria list of things, so this shortens the process. Mrs. VanderLaan stated the average income for Exeter Township residents is approximately $52,000. Mr. Bukowski asked Mrs. O'Brien-Pieja if her concern is that it has a negative connotation to declare certain areas blighted or distressed in order to qualify for this program; Mrs. O'Brien-Pieja replied yes. Mr. Bukowski stated he had a discussion regarding this with Commissioner Leinbach, who pointed out that the statute does not define those tern's, but in order to pass an Ordinance providing for this, Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance, we have to declare 47

MOTION by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mrs. Starr to suspend the Regular Meeting at this time for the Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance Program Public Hearing. Motion carried unanimously.

Public Hearing: Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance Program Pat 0 'Brien-Pieja, 2 Executive Circle stated she read the Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance Program and it stated it would be in areas that are economically distressed. She stated the average salary for the residents of Exeter is $63,000; so her question for the Board is how we can be labeled an economically distressed area. Mr. Smith stated we have not labeled anyone, the County has chosen to label it and we're just piggybacking on what the County has said is distressed. He stated it is to encourage businesses to improve their business. He mentioned that the County has designated the areas. Mrs. O'Brien-Pieja asked if every area in Berks County is economically distressed; Mr. Smith replied no, the County has identified an area that would be appropriate for the a LERTA. Mr. Smith asked Mrs. O'Brien-Pieja if she has seen the map; she replied no. Mrs. VanderLaan pointed out on the map the areas designated for a LERTA by the County. Mr. Bukowski stated it really focuses not on the income of the residents, but on the area and the statute allows the designation by the Township Board of Supervisors by either blighted or distressed properties or deteriorated properties or areas. Mr. Bukowski stated this not a declaration by the Board of Supervisors that the area is distressed or impoverished; he stated it is designed to spur revitalization to areas that are underperfoiming economically and to increase the commercial tax base. Mrs. VanderLaan stated she raised the question of the blighted or distressed designation to Shannon Rossman, the Executive Director of the Berks County Planning Commission; she stated this is a standard definition in the original LERTA language. She stated the County looks at this as a way to designate areas that are not economically performing and allow development to come in. She stated this plan is a partnership with the County; she stated the County has identified these areas, and if we join this program, it will fast track the process to be eligible for the LERTA program.

Mrs. VanderLaan stated the average income for Exeter Township residents is approximately $52,000. Mr. Bukowski asked Mrs. O'Brien-Pieja if her concern is that it has a negative connotation to declare certain areas blighted or distressed in order to qualify for this program; Mrs. O'Brien-Pieja replied yes. Mr. Bukowski stated he had a discussion regarding this with Commissioner Leinbach, who pointed out that the statute does not define those tern's, but in order to pass an Ordinance providing for this, Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance, we have to declare

the areas to be either distressed or blighted or some other qualifying language. He stated he understands Mrs. O'Brien-Pieja's concern and stated it needs to be understood that this Board is not declaring any particular property to be distressed or blighted. He stated it is not their intentions to denigrate those areas or influence the property values or anyone's perception of those programs. He stated to the contrary it is to attract economic revitalization in those areas by creating an incentive. Mr. Lloyd asked if it is just poor wording on behalf of the County; Mr. Bukowsld stated no, it's the State Legislation, and he stated they used the language they had to use under the Act. Mrs. Starr read the definition of a LERTA; it is a tax abatement incentive program to encourage improvements, rehabilitation and new construction to qualified commercial properties. She read, the County hereby recognizes supports and approves any LERTA of any municipality located within the boundaries of the County that has established a standard LERTA from property tax for certain deteriorated industrial, commercial or other business property. Mrs. VanderLaan questioned if the designation has an impact and also if we define it differently than what the nonnal definition of it is, would it offset the impact if there is one. Mrs. Starr stated our Ordinance states deteriorated areas within the Township. Mr. Bellwoar asked if the County provided the map with the designated areas; Mr. Bingaman replied yes. Mr. Bellwoar stated that by adopting the map we are doing what we need to, in regards to the County. Mrs. O'Brien-Pieja asked if this Ordinance is from the State statue; he stated the Ordinance the Board is looking at tonight doesn't talk in terms of economically distressed communities. Mrs. O'Brien-Pieja stated it does state that in the first paragraph; Mr. Bellwoar discussed what the first paragraph of the State statue says. Mrs. O'Brien-Pieja asked if the businesses making the improvements receive Capital Improvement credits from the Federal Government for improving their property; Mr. Bukowski replied, not that he knows of. He stated our intent would be to incentivize them to make the improvements so that in the future we're getting the full tax benefit of the improved assessed value in order to spur economic development. Mr. Lloyd stated by adopting a LERTA, businesses might relocate here rather somewhere that doesn't offer this. Mrs. O'Brien-Pieja asked who pays the taxes if the business is sold before 10 years; Mr. Bukowski stated the buyer would pay the full tax value in year 11. Mrs. O'Brien-Pie]a stated if she makes an improvement on her home she doesn't get a tax break; Mr. Bukowski stated the whole program is for commercial properties not residential. Mrs. VanderLaan stated when somebody builds a shopping center and they get the tax abatement program for 10 years then they sell it, the shopping center is still there; when you make improvements on your residential property if the County doesn't come out and reassess it, very few people in the community benefit from the improvement you've made on your home. Mr. Bukowski stated it is a very good point that has been raised and we declared it in Section 2 of the proposed Ordinance that the map attached as Exhibit A shall be the areas that contain and consist of deteriorated properties which are eligible for tax exemption under this Ordinance. He stated it doesn't say that every property in those areas is deteriorated and he felt the language works under the statute. He stated he doesn't want to single out any specific property; the only point to make is the definition of deteriorated property, which we adopted verbatim in our proposed Ordinance. Mrs. VanderLaan asked for it to be effective, do we only use the term deteriorated not blighted; Mr. Lloyd commented that wouldn't stop them from applying, they just may not be fast tracked. Mr. Bingaman stated Commissioner Leinbach stated the County used the teini deteriorated area to be as broad as possible. Mr. Bukowski stated they defined deteriorated property in the County resolution, we defined deteriorated property as any industrial, commercial or business property owned by an individual, association or corporation and located in a "deteriorated area" as provided by Ordinance of the local governing body or any such property. Mr. Bukowski stated we define deteriorated property as well; however, we do not define deteriorated area. Mr. Bellwoar stated we do have eligible areas in Section 2. Mr. Bukowski stated he's concerned that this doesn't comply because it doesn't define a deteriorated area. Mr. Bingaman stated Bern Township passed an Ordinance exactly the same way and their language stated deteriorated property and listed their eligible areas. Mrs. VanderLaan asked if we have considered reaching out to the County and asking them what language they recommend; Mr. Bingaman stated he has not because he modeled it after other municipal Ordinances that have

already been adopted. Mrs. Starr stated under improvements it states, attains higher standards than economic use. Mr. Bukowski asked if we should add a second definition; he asked why we would need a deteriorated property defmition. Mr. Smith asked why we would want to make it any tighter; Mr. Bukowski stated he just wants it to comply with the County. Mr. Smith stated we are defining it based on their map; Mr. Bukowski stated we don't define deteriorated area, we define deteriorated property. Linda Focht, 50 Glen Oley Drive asked the Board to re-read what Mrs. Starr had read from the County presentation previously just so she understands it better; Mr. Smith re-read it. Mrs. Starr stated this is a way to give businesses a break so they can fix up their businesses to make both their business and the Township look better. Bob Quinter, 3501 Woodland Avenue stated if we look at the history of this it was originally designed for something else; he stated they had to declare the whole area as blighted in the past. He stated the terminology has nothing to do with the reality; it is satisfying the requirements of the State program. Mrs. VanderLaan asked if the school district has to approve a LERTA as well; Mr. Bukowski stated it doesn't have to, but in reality if the school district doesn't approve the program will not be utilized. Mrs. VanderLaan stated she has a few concerns; she stated a lot of the properties identified by the County on the map will never be applicable because the County doesn't differentiate between commercial and residential, and a lot of the properties on the County map are inapplicable to this program because they are residential. She stated she has a concern about designating areas to a LERTA which is specific to industrial and commercial development in zones where that is not currently allowed or in the future may not be allowed, such as the AP and the RC zones. She asked Mr. Bellwoar if someone were to challenge the language, would it be an issue; Mr. Bellwoar stated it presents an argument, but he felt it wouldn't be a winning argument. He stated the zoning will trump this LERTA Ordinance. Mr. Bingaman asked if we have Village Overlays, maybe we would want to merge that within those zones; Mrs. VanderLaan replied yes. Mrs. VanderLaan stated there are many areas on the County's map that will not be redeveloped and she is wondering if they have to designate those areas in this program. She asked what the benefit is if there is no potential that anyone is ever going to develop commercial or industrial there. Mr. Lloyd stated if we change the zoning we would have to add it back into a LERTA if it then qualifies. Mrs. Starr asked if we could change our map for a LERTA. Mr. Smith stated in some of the other areas people have businesses that were non-confouning to begin with, which means we may have to identify all the properties specifically and there would be a cost associated with that. Mr. Smith stated if we changed the zoning, that's a different issue; he stated we aren't going to have commercial operations in a residential zone. Mrs. VanderLaan stated we could have commercial operation in a residential district in some of the zones we are creating such as the Mixed Use. Mr. Smith stated the County has already done this for us; Mrs. VanderLaan stated yes, but they haven't differentiated between the commercial and residential. Mr. Lloyd asked if we could change the language in our Ordinance to say it doesn't include the residential except in existing non-conforming uses who want to use it; Mr. Bukowski stated yes, we can use whatever language we choose. Mr. Lloyd stated then it would opt out all of the places that are applicable to it, but then if it's an existing non-confouning use that's already there and want to use it then they'll be open to it; Mr. Smith stated AP and some of the other areas, if they are operating a farm, does this mean they won't be able to install a new barn because they are a commercial operation. Mrs. VanderLaan stated that's exactly why she reached out to the County, because there are farms that are operating and not included in this designation. Mr. Bingaman stated we can add them, but the applicant will need to get approval through the Commissioners. Mrs. VanderLaan stated she is not trying to limit anything; she wants to make sure we understand if there are any ramifications. She asked if we should keep Farming Ridge in this, because it is included; Mr. Smith stated he has no problem with it being included. He stated it's a residential zone so you can't operate a nounal commercial business there; however, people do have beauty shops, accounting offices and other low impact businesses there. Mrs. VanderLaan stated low impact businesses don't qualify for this. She stated it was explained to her that if a residential property is being used for Mixed Use and one

floor is used for commercial and one floor is being used for residential the floor being used for commercial can be entered into this program for improvements for whatever they want to do, but not the residential portion. Mr. Smith stated he has no problem with the language the way it's written. He stated the County has already delineated that based on their map. Mr. Bukowski stated they haven't because they leave it up to each Township to define those areas. Mr. Smith stated the County can wave their taxes on improvements, so by definition they've already declared what's blighted. Mr. Bukowski asked if anyone else from the public has any other comments before they close the Public Hearing. MOTION by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mrs. Starr to close the Public Hearing at 7:55 P.M. Motion carried unanimously.

The Regular Meeting of the Board of Supervisors reconvened at 7:55 P.M.

NOTE FOR THE RECORD: The Board met in Executive Session prior to the meeting to discuss Personnel and Potential Litigation. Mr. Bukowski stated we'll hear more about the Potential Litigation in the Solicitor's Report. Mr. Bukowski stated Mr. Hamm has requested posting a Mechanic position for the Highway Department who also takes care of the Police Department and Treatment Plant vehicles. MOTION by Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Smith to authorize the posting of a 2nd Mechanic position. Motion carried unanimously.

Public Comment Linda Focht, 50 Glen Oley Drive stated she understands the EAA owes the Township $60,000; she stated she doesn't like the idea of the Township taking the EAA to court. She asked the Board who owns the building; Mr. Bukowski stated the EAA currently holds the title for the building. Mrs. Focht asked if it would be possible to lease space from the EAA for the Police to use and instead of paying rent deduct from their debt. She suggested looking for other ways to solve the problem. Mr. Bukowski stated when they authorized the law suit part of the issue was they stated they wanted to list the property for sale; he stated they were concerned and wanted to put any potential buyers on notice of our claim for money. He stated the judgment was that money would become a lien on that property to be paid at the time of the sale. He stated the Board is open to resolving this issue. Mr. Smith stated one of the things as a Board that they collectively don't do is make their arguments in the newspaper, they make them around the meeting table or in executive session. He stated the Board wants to do things at the lowest cost to the Township and save the residents as much money as possible; he stated that's why you do not see the Boards position on things that are happening. Mrs. VanderLaan stated the Board is considering all their options.

MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 14, 2015 REGULAR MEETING MOTION by Mr. Lloyd, seconded by Mr. Smith to approve the minutes of the September 14th regular meeting as presented. Motion carried with Mr. Bukowski, Mrs. Starr, Mr. Smith and Mrs. VanderLaan voting in favor and Mr. Lloyd abstaining

Motion carried unanimously.

Authorize Advertising LERTA Ordinance Mrs. VanderLas n asked the Board if they felt the Ordinance language as presented and the information we have as a Board right now is complete enough to act upon this or is it possible that we would have to backtrack later; she stated she would rather take another two weeks to consider this to make sure they get it right. Mr. Bukowski asked Mr. Bellwoar since they had a Public Hearing tonight could they take two weeks to consider modifying the proposed Ordinance without having to have another Public Hearing. Mr. Bellwoar stated he believes we can; Mr. Bukowski stated if the changes are based on the discussion tonight. Mr. Bellwoar stated he would want to reserve as regards to making the changes would require making a subsequent hearing. He stated he thinks we are in good shape if we hold off, revise the ordinance as discussed tonight, and then have it ready for action at the next Board of Supervisors meeting. Mrs. Starr asked what if there are substantial changes; Mr. Bellwoar stated that might result if we had advertised it, having to re-advertise it, but because we took in all the input from that hearing he felt we would be in good shape. Mr. Bellwoar will check on this. Mr. Bukowski stated the discussion leads to the possibility that the area would be increased not decreased. He stated if we make changes we would want to post it in time for the public to see the revised proposed Ordinance at their next meeting, so we have less than two weeks to do that. Mr. Bukowski stated he agreed with Mr. Smith, he would like to be as broad as possible too; he stated he felt they should wait another two weeks. He asked the Board members to take responsibility and give the Solicitor language for a proposed version within a week so we could modify it and add it to the agenda in time for the public to see it prior to their next meeting. Mr. Bellwoar stated he took notes based upon the discussion and he could get this back to the Board tomorrow and then it could be posted shortly thereafter. Mrs. Starr asked how many other municipalities have adopted this; Mr. Bingaman stated Reading, Bern Township and he believes Tilden may have. Mrs. VanderLaan stated Fleetwood and Mt. Penn have also adopted this. Mr. Bingaman stated he only has a copy of Bern Township's. Mr. Bukowski stated we may want to include some of the other language; Mrs. VanderLaan stated she would send the language to Mr. Bellwoar. Mrs. VanderLaan stated we need to determine if the residential areas should allow for commercial or industrial use of those structures, since our existing zoning does not; she questioned if it is the Boards opinion that designating those areas as this doesn't matter because we don't allow that kind of thing there in any case. Mr. Bukowski asked if Mrs. VanderLaan is asking whether his view is by including within the designated areas it's irrelevant because we don't allow it anyway; he stated his answer is yes. He stated especially if they had language to say nothing in here should be deemed to imply commercial uses is permitted where otherwise prohibited by zoning. Mr. Lloyd asked what the benefit is; Mr. Bukowski stated we are considering doing overlays and as things change, to the extent uses are permitted by overlay or further zoning change we wouldn't have to go back to amend. Mrs. VanderLaan asked Mr. Bellwoar if he felt confident that including areas that are nonviable for commercial and industrial use does not leave us vulnerable to challenges on our Ordinances. Mr. Bellwoar stated especially with the saving language. Mr. Bellwoar will draft an amendment and circulate to the Board. Mr. Bukowski stated the Board will defer this to the October 12th meeting.

Zoning Board Vacancy Mr. Bukowski stated the Board will discuss the process to fill the vacancy on the Zoning Hearing Board; he read a list of persons who have expressed interest in the Zoning Hearing Board position. Mrs. VanderLaan asked Mr. Bingaman how we advertised for this; Mr. Bingaman stated it was on the sign board and the website and he reached out to everyone else. Mr. Bukowski asked Mr. Lloyd what he wanted to do; Mr. Lloyd replied, re-advertise. Mr. Bukowski asked Mr. Lloyd in what way; he stated put it on the website and ask for other applicants. Mr. Bingaman stated he had it advertised on the website and the sign out front; he stated we didn't get any new applicants. Mrs. VanderLaan stated we didn't advertise it very long. Mr. Smith stated he's willing to advertise another two weeks. Mr. Lloyd stated the Zoning Hearing Board is really important to have good people on it; he asked if Mr. Bingaman has their resumes. Mr. Bingaman stated most of them are just letters of interest.

MOTION by Mrs. VanderLaan, seconded by Mr. Smith to authorize advertising special meetings on October 5, 2015 at 6:30 P.M. and October 12, 2015 at 6:30 P.M. to conduct interviews. Motion carried unanimously.

Transportation Project Request — Berks County Long Range Transportation • Plan & PennDOT's Twelve Year Program

Mr. Rogosky stated he received a memo from Alan Piper from the Berks County Transportation Department dated August 31st, providing us with a list of our current 12 year projects that we previously submitted in 2013. He stated Mr. Piper is asking each municipality, including Exeter, to either update their list or provide any new projects that we feel we want to be placed on the list. He stated he met with Mr. Hamm and Mr. Bingaman last week and they discussed the list and they feel the projects they have already slated for the list should remain, with the exception that the prioritizations of the list change. He stated they are looking at adding the Shelbourne & Gibraltar Road intersection improvements to be number one on the list because the County is pursuing replacement of their bridge on Gibraltar Road and they are in favor of looking into combining the projects together. He stated if we we're going to do an intersection improvement project the bridge would need to be widened to accommodate for extra turning lanes and so forth. He stated Mr. Piper felt this would be a good project for them to combine together, so he wanted to push that into the number one position. He stated number 2 would be the Harvey Avenue Bridge; he stated even though that's under design he wants to keep that on as one of our key projects; he stated they're hoping this will go out for bid in 2017. He stated number 3 would be the Cross-town connector; he stated this has been on before and would be another relief route and could potentially increase our commercial area. Mr. Rogosky stated we are still in support of the project with Amity Township, Weavertovvn Road, he stated even though we're not listed on it, we're in support of that project and also adding the E. Neversink and Painted Sky Road intersection for widening and drainage improvements. He stated he would like to present this tonight to the Board. He stated Mr. Piper advised him that we do not need to resubmit anything except for the E. Neversink / Painted Sky Road intersection project, we would need to complete the necessary fowls and submit those; he stated Mr. Piper would retain the projects that we currently have on the list and we could alter the priority numbers. MOTION by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mrs. Starr to accept Mr. Rogosky's recommendations for the Transportation Project Request — Berks County Long Range Transportation Plan. Motion carried unanimously.

NEW BUSINESS

Professional Services — Proposed Riverfront Zoning District Mr. Bingaman stated at the Strategic Planning Meeting held on September 17th recommendations were made to hire a professional service to draft the Ordinance regulations for a Riverfront District. Mrs. VanderLaan asked Mr. Bingaman if the recommendation was also for the professional service to overview the concept and the feasibility. Mr. Bingaman stated the specific recommendation in the report was to draft Zoning Ordinance language as a new zoning district using as a template or guide the summary contained in this report and such other guidance as may be given by the Board; he suggested that could fall under other guidance by the Board. Mr. Lloyd asked if they want to do it in two (2) phases to figure out the feasibility of it and if it's feasible then we move on. Mr. Bukowsld stated he doesn't understand why they need to figure out the feasibility of it. Mrs. VanderLaan stated the idea is to support the concept; she stated the Steering Committee hasn't had the ability to do any market studies to determine if there would be a desire for this type of district there, but they were able to identify, through the community, that this is a project the residents of the Township wanted. Mr. Bukowsld stated he doesn't have a problem with having a feasibility study done, but this recommendation isn't for a feasibility study, this recommendation is to draft the Ordinance language.

Mrs. Starr stated she agreed with Mr. Lloyd; she felt that we need someone to come in and see if this is feasible with the tax base. She stated there are too many variables, too many issues with that area. She stated she's not ready to hire someone to come in and write Zoning language to change the Zoning there. Mrs. VanderLaan stated to have a market study done it would cost the Township approximately $60,000. Mr. Bukowski stated the point of the whole project is to create possibilities; he stated he's not opposed to doing a market study. He stated it was incorrect for the steering committee to say they didn't have the ability to do a market study; he stated they certainly had the ability to that and didn't because of the expense. Mr. Smith asked if we could create Zoning language that is limited in its design, stating this is the intended Riverfront District and this is the overview of it, we have not detailed it until such time there is interest in the property but the intent is here, show the area on a map and state this precludes industrial type things from moving in that we don't want there. He asked if it has to be specific language for everything that we want to do up to and including or can we just have it broad with some inclusions. Mr. Bellwoar stated he appreciates the concept and looking for something to invite a developer in; however, once there in if we don't have the protections in place that we want then we'll be behind the eight ball. Mr. Smith asked if we need to go into detail that specifies every nuance to a zoning area; Mr. Bellwoar stated to protect ourselves; we would want those details to be included. Mrs. VanderLaan stated the bulk of the concept originally was inclusive of fioodway and floodplain; she stated in a fioodway you cannot build at all, floodplain you're limited. She stated we've added areas that are already Light Industrial in use for this to create a community area. Mr. Bukowski asked if there was something we could do to put out an RFP that would invite someone to do both phases as Mr. Lloyd suggested and if they agree the concept is feasible write the Zoning Ordinance Language. Mrs. VanderLaan asked if we need to put an RFP out for this or if we could just talk to the companies that we've already interviewed. Mr. Bellwoar stated we can talk to those companies. Mrs. VanderLaan stated she would like to contact specifically the companies that we know do this type of work and ask them to give us a proposal. Mr. Bukowski asked if Mrs. VanderLaan had any in mind; Mrs. VanderLaan stated DELTA; Mr. Bukowski suggested also asking Simone Collins and Sam Loth. Mr. Bukowski stated he wants to move this to the next step; Mrs. Starr stated she's only interested in the feasibility, she's not interested in changing the zoning there. Mr. Bukowski asked what our direction is for the Township Manager; Mr. Bingaman stated to reach out to DELTA, Simone Collins and Sam Loth for a proposal. Mr. Lloyd suggested sending them our plan of what we're trying to do and let them write their own proposal according to their own criteria and they could give us ideas of what would need to be done and the cost. Mr. Bukowski stated he agreed with Mr. Lloyd and stated we should send the report to them as well. Mrs. Starr asked Mrs. VanderLaan how it is zoned right now. Mrs. VanderLaan stated the area along the river is currently zoned Light Industrial and across the street they have included overlays; she stated the larger residential lots and Light Industrial is now included. Mrs. Starr asked if all the Light Industrial is taken away what are the ramifications; Mrs. VanderLaan stated the Steering Committee has considered the Light Industrial Zoning of today is different than it used to be. She stated BCO Flex, which is along the eastern portion of that area, will hopefully pick up those types of things with a better infrastructure. Mr. Bukowski asked if they can get something back to the Board within the next two weeks; Mr. Bingaman stated that is very aggressive.

He stated they'll be able to control it by their computer or thru their phones by an App, so they will be able to change the message or download the data. He stated if someone is trying to steal it, the sign will send an alert and also take a picture. He stated he felt this could really help them combat speeding. MOTION by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mrs. Starr to authorize to purchase two (2) Speed Alert 18 Radar Message signs through COSTARS Contract for a total cost of $11,486 (including a trade of a 2006 for $2,000).

Accept Deed of Dedication — Philip Avenue Mr. Rogosky stated Forino Company has prepared a Deed of Dedication for the Township to take over Phillip Avenue which is a cul-de-sac, approximately 560 lineal feet. He stated he has reviewed the legal description and the survey. He stated he found no problems with the description, however; they do need to set the concrete monuments and verify that lot pits have been set properly and in accordance with the approved plan. He recommended the Board approve the Deed of Dedication this evening conditioned upon those items being addressed. MOTION by Mrs. Starr, seconded by Mr. Lloyd to approve the Deed of Dedication conditional upon the concrete monuments and lot pits being set properly and in accordance with the approved plan. Mr. Bukowski asked how this will be addressed and who would confimi that these items have been completed. Mr. Rogosky stated he's already reached out to the developer and once the monuments have been installed they can verify it. He stated the monuments and the lot pins will be certified by a professional surveyor. Mr. Bellwoar asked if they'll go into a maintenance period after dedication; Mr. Rogosky replied, yes. Mr. Bellwoar asked if there is money there presently for those tasks that are remaining; Mr. Rogosky replied, yes. Motion carried unanimously.

MOTION by Mrs. VanderLaan, seconded by Mr. Lloyd to adopt the Liquid Fuels Resolution 2015-20, adding Phillip Avenue. Motion carried unanimously.

SOLICITOR'S REPORT

EAA Mr. Bellwoar stated in order to properly position the Township, he recommends the Township file Lis Pendens Action; he stated this is an action to alert the public to the Township's claim against EAA and its property. He is recommending a Motion to allow him to file a Lis Pendens Action in the Berks County Court of Common Pleas to enforce the Township's rights as regards to EAA property. MOTION by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Lloyd to allow the Solicitor, Mr. Bellwoar, to file a Lis Pendens Action against EAA. Mr. Bukowski asked Mr. Bellwoar to explain what a Lis Pendens Action is; Mr. Bellwoar stated its filed against the property, it can be filed against a residential or commercial property, its filed in the Recorder of Deeds and it simply alerts the world that there is an issue and the one filing it has some sort of claim against the property.

INDIVIDUAL REPORTS

Route 562, Shelbourne Road and Oley Turnpike Intersection Mr. Rogosky stated he reached out to PennDOT with our concerns by email and they have agreed to extend the 30 day test period; he stated once they know there are issues that the municipality has they will continue to be on a maintenance period for the traffic signal. He stated he received notification by telephone stating Penn DOT did not agree to leave the binder course. He stated Penn DOT was going to allow the material to remain with compensation to the contractor at 50%; he stated Penn DOT has declined that offer therefore; a portion of the paving will be removed and replaced. Mr. Rogosky stated he does not know when this will take place. Mr. Bukowski asked if Mr. Rogosky knew of a specific area; Mr. Rogosky stated the whole intersection. Mr. Bukowski stated the stop lines from Oley Turnpike Road are very far back; Mr. Rogosky stated this was one of the concerns they discussed with PennDOT. He stated he also passed along Chief Neidert's concern about protected left turns.

902 Recycling Grant Mr. Hamm stated he plans to apply for an equipment grant and will be attending a mandatory pre- application Meeting with DEP in mid- November.

Auction Mr. Hamm stated the auction for everything from the Reading Country Club will be held at the Township Building on October 19th at 4:00 P.M.

Reading Country Club Management Mr. Bingaman stated he received a proposed amendment and extension for the Golf Management Services Agreement; he will be circulating this to the Board and they can consider it at the next meeting.

Reading County Club Artifacts Mrs. VanderLaan stated she met with Mr. Hamm to identify several pieces of furniture that she believes are original if not early to the construction of the building that had been being stored on the third floor of the Country Club. She stated she felt it is important that one of two things happen, either we have a discussion about whether we want to maintain that property and if not how to dispose of it, because she does not feel they would bring the kind of value they are worth at an auction where we are selling restaurant and other used equipment. She stated she would recommend that we keep it, but that raises other concerns about where we keep it; she stated she is concerned if we keep it in a shed or a building somewhere that nobody in the years to come will know what it is or what the purpose of it is. She stated she would like to ask Viva if they would consider doing something at the Reading Country Club that would include Byron Nelson memorabilia and at the very minimal allow us to store the furniture that they removed from the attic back to the attic so that it stays with the structure. Mr. Lloyd stated he and Mr. Smith are going to meet with Viva and they could discuss this issue then and see what the feasibility of it is.

Fire Department, EMS Mr. Lloyd stated the Fire Department has completely taken over the EMS duties, the transition is done. He stated they are operating with essentially all new equipment and they have a very high competitive pay for their EMT's and it was all done at no additional cost to the Township. He stated they sold their Tower and with the proceeds from that, they were able to purchase new equipment; he stated they have no debt. He stated this has been a huge success which was done by volunteers. Mrs. Starr thanked the Reading Eagle for their nice article and she gave kudos the Exeter Fire Department for all their hard work.

Chicken Farm Mrs. Starr stated there are issues with the chicken farm again and DEP has been there and has issued violations. She asked if they have been paying their sewer bill; Mr. Bingaman stated they do still owe us some money, but they have been making payments on it. Mr. Bukowsld asked what the violations were for; Mrs. Starr stated there were too many to read, it's a long list.

Tom Howell, P.O. Box 4635 asked in regards to a LERTA, if the Supervisors were going to discuss a fee to do this; he asked what type of fee would be applied. Mr. B-ukowski asked if he meant a fee to apply for it; Mr. Howell replied, yes. Mr. Bukowski stated the fee would be based on the size of the project; the fee would be whatever the current fee schedule for a building permit is.

ADJOURNMENT MOTION by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mrs. VanderLaan to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried unanimously. The Meeting adjourned at 9:07 P.M.

Respectfully Submitted,
