capital needs, whether that be new or replacement, of the various facilities owned or rented by the COG.

2) To plan for future COG growth and the related facilities needs of COG on a comprehensive basis. The overall responsibilities of the Facilities Committee are to:

To gain an understanding of the current facilities owned, rented and operated by the Centre Region COG, Schlow Centre Region Library, and the Centre Region Parks and Rec Authority.

To aid in the implementation of a maintenance plan for the current COG facilities. To plan appropriately for obsolescence and replacement needs. To assess the current facilities operated by COG and compare them to the current and

anticipated future needs for the COG, Schlow Library and the Parks and Rec Authority Develop a plan to address the current and future needs of COG, as they relate to its facilities,

while remaining within the desired current and future funding constraints. Meetings of the Ad Hoc Facilities Committee are opened to the public and meeting notices will be publically advertised in accordance with state law. Meeting minutes will be kept and distributed with the meeting agendas.

5. ELECTION OF CHAIR The Ad Hoc Facilities Committee should elect a Chair and Vice Chair. The responsibilities of the Chair are:

Review and approve distribution of the meeting agenda prepared by the Executive Director Chair meetings of the Ad Hoc Facilities Committee Provide monthly reports to the General Forum Serve as first point of contact for media inquiries, if there are any

6. MEETING LOGISTICS

Because this is the first Ad Hoc Facilities Committee, ground rules should be developed to set the environment for future meetings. Issues to address include:

a) What is the desired length of a typical meeting? b) How will decisions be made – majority vote, super majority, unanimous vote c) Does the Committee wish to invite stakeholder groups to some of its future meetings? If so, the

Committee should identify the groups/individuals, as well as the questions the Committee would like to ask of them.

d) How do Committee members prefer to receive information – agenda/minutes, reports, etc. The options include:

Printed and mailed E-mail Dropbox (each member would need to establish an account) Link to a webpage

Ad Hoc Building Committee April 3, 2018 Page 3 of 3

7. SELECTION OF MEETING DATES AND TIMES The Chair will lead a discussion to select a regular meeting date and time for each month.

8. REVIEW OF THE FACILITY ASSESSMENTS PREPARED BY STAFF

Mr. Viglione will present the enclosed map identifying the locations of the thirteen facilities that will be considered by the Committee as well as a one page assessment of each facility. Not all one page assessments are complete at this time. The completed assessments enclosed in the packet will give the Committee members an opportunity to review the information provided and the ability to request additional information. Facilities in the study are owned or leased by the COG, Schlow Centre Region Library, and the Centre Region Parks and Recreation Authority. In some situations the land is owned by one entity and the structure(s) by a different entity.

9. AGENDA FOR FUTURE MEETINGS

Deciding how to begin a study of this magnitude and significance will be a challenge. Looking ahead, the Ad Hoc Facilities Committee should discuss the agenda for its upcoming meetings. Options include:

a) Review the Facility Assessments Provided by Staff: The Committee has received a partial synopsis as to the current state of the facilities owned and rented by COG. The Committee should review these and request additional information they deem necessary for their future site visits.

b) Attend a Trainings by the Office of Physical Plant (OPP) at Penn State (PSU): COG staff is attempting to finalize dates for a training to be provided to the Committee by the OPP at PSU. One presentation will include:

a. A presentation on Facilities Asset Management b. A presentation on implementing a Maintenance Management System c. Open discussion on these topics

The second presentation may include PSU’s processes as they relate to energy audits. c) Site Visits: For the Committee to gain a full understanding of the facilities, their benefits, and

their limitations, staff will set up site visits with the persons responsible for each of the thirteen facilities. Staff feels these site visits should occur over the next 4-5 months to be able to tour each facility fully while receiving information from the individuals responsible for managing and maintaining them.

d) Wrap up and Review the Information Received During the First Six Months: The Committee will receive a lot of information about a number of facilities owned and leased by the Centre Region COG. The Committee should review and discuss this information to gain a mutual understanding of the information provided.

e) Determine the Direction and Priorities of the Committee: At the end of the six month evaluation the Committee should, based upon the information received, determine its priorities. Options could be that the Committee decides to proceed on a facility by facility basis, by setting up a maintenance program, or perhaps planning for future capital construction/needs. From this discussion the Committee should outline a path forward for staff and a plan to achieve the goals/priorities set forth initially by the Committee.

f) Other ideas

3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A copy of the minutes of the March 13, 2018 Steering Committee meeting is enclosed.

4. REVIEW OF THE DRAFT REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

During the March 13, 2018 meeting, the committee reviewed the Draft Request for Proposals. COG staff worked to make revisions discussed during that meeting and enclosed is the revised Draft Request for Proposals. COG staff also met with Mr. Bernier to discuss elements of sections VI: Consultant Selection/Evaluation of Proposals and VII: Deliverables. The revised section VI is part of the enclosed RFP for review. During this discussion all are encouraged to express their thoughts on the RFP for the study. After the committee agrees to the scope of work, timeline, and other elements of the RFP the COG staff will revise the Request for Proposals to be presented to DCNR for review by April 26.

Steering Committee March 13, 2018 Page 2 of 3

5. SHOULD AN ADDITIONAL MEETING BE SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 10? The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) has requested a draft of the Request for Proposals by April 26. The next Steering Committee meeting is scheduled for May 1. The committee should discuss whether it believes that by the end of the April 3 meeting that the RFP has reached the point where a draft can be submitted to DCNR. If the committee believes it needs additional time to prepare the RFP prior to submitting it to DCNR then a second meeting on April 10 should be considered. The Steering Committee should determine if a meeting on April 10 should be held.

6. OTHER BUSINESS A. Matter of Record – Committee members are reminded to provide regular reports

to their Board/Council/Authority regarding the topics discussed during committee meetings. It is important that all the governing bodies be kept in the loop regarding Steering Committee activities.

B. Matter of Record – DCNR has recommended that the membership of the Steering Committee be expanded as to include broader opportunities for public involvement. The Department has suggested that the Steering Committee have 9 to 12 members. The DCNR Study Guide for preparing comprehensive parks and recreation plans offers the following suggestions:

“A few members from the park and recreation board, environmental council, etc. At least one local elected official

At least one member from school district board or administration or faculty A religious leader One member from grantee’s staff (municipal manager, park and rec. dept., etc.) One member of local or regional planning commission Consider representation from the county/regional parks and recreation department

or other applicable county/regional agency Representatives of the business community, i.e. chamber of commerce, real estate

developers, bankers etc. Others to consider: students, youth sports groups, senior citizen groups, apartment

complex owners/operators, etc.

It is also important to have all major neighborhoods and areas in the community represented. The goal should be to provide a diverse base of individuals to assist in developing the plan so that all aspects and interests are taken into consideration in developing the plan.”

Steering Committee March 13, 2018 Page 3 of 3

Because the Steering Committee was established by the General Forum, additions to it should be approved in a similar manner. The Executive Committee discussed this during its March 20 meeting and asked Ms. Salokangas to reach out to DCNR to explain how the current members meet the suggested guidelines; the plans for public participation to include a randomized survey, key person interviews, and two public meetings; and that the current committee has already met 7 times and has over 75% of the RFP completed for DCNR’s review. Ms. Salokangas is to report back to the Executive Committee at its April 13 meeting.

C. Matter of Record – Ms. Salokangas and Mr. Lord will be meeting with Dr. Peter Newman and Dr. John Datillo regarding work to be completed by the RPTM Department at Penn State University.

D. Matter of Record – DCNR has requested a draft of the Request for Proposals by April 26, 2018.

E. Matter of Record – Unless the Steering Committee adds an additional meeting this month, its next session will be held Tuesday, May 1, 2018 at 12:00 noon in the COG General Forum room.

AGENDA

1. CALL TO ORDER

Mr. Hameister will convene the meeting. 2. CITIZEN COMMENTS

Members of the public are invited to comment on any items not already on the agenda (five minutes per person time limit, please). Comments relating to specific items on the agenda should be deferred to that point in the meeting.

3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES

Copies of the minutes from the March 8, 2018 meeting of the COG Public Services & Environmental Committees are enclosed for approval.

4. COMMITTEE PICTURE

COG Staff would like to take a picture of committee members to include on our webpage that discusses the Public Services & Environmental Committee. COG believes it would add a personal touch and help residents identify their elected officials when needing to reach out to them.

5. PROGRESS REPORT ON CLIMATE ACTION AND ADAPTATION PLANNING IN THE CENTRE REGION – presented by Colleen Barrett

This item will provide the PSE Committee information on work completed to date in regard to climate action and adaptation planning in the Centre Region. The item also asks that the PSE Committee consider a number of questions to help direct the CRPA as the Agency begins to transition from information gathering to assessing information and framing a Climate Action and Adaptation Plan for the Centre Region. The CRPA has completed a number of stakeholder interviews over the past two months. During this process the Agency has been documenting the activities and actions that the municipalities and other stakeholders are undertaking to support climate action and adaptation. The CRPA is in the process of organizing the comments into topics that have emerged during these interviews and is starting to assess where a regional approach to

Public Services Committee Agenda April 5, 2018 Page 2 of 6

climate action and adaptation could be appropriate. By this summer, the Agency will begin to refine the themes and organize the content for a Climate Action and Adaptation Plan for the Centre Region. The enclosed “Climate Action and Adaptation Process” provides a summary of the project. The CRPA would like to introduce this new program and provide a similar overview to the General Forum at its April 23 meeting. The PSE Committee should consider the following questions and provide any input to assist in framing the discussion for today and to provide the CRPA some direction for moving forward:

a) How do you see the Centre Region focusing its sustainability efforts (in other words a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, setting goals with benchmarks for NetZero emissions, or beginning with climate actions that also provide significant, environmental, social, and economic benefits to build community buy-in) ?

b) Given conversations with stakeholders and ongoing local efforts, CRPA anticipate procurement policies and government operations will remain at the municipal level (e.g. conversion of municipal fleet vehicles to electric or compressed natural gas vehicles). Does this understanding match your municipality’s expectations?

c) Do you have examples on what community or region the Centre Region should model? Who do we want to look like? (e.g. Pittsburgh? Madison? Ithaca?)

d) Given that this effort is uncharted territory for the Centre Region, what, or whom did CRPA miss in this part of the process? What did you expect to hear, but did not see covered?

The PSE Committee should consider the following motion:

““That the COG Public Services and Environmental Committee requests that the Executive Committee include a presentation on the Progress Report on Climate Action and Adaptation Planning on the April 23, 2018 General Forum agenda.”

6. UPDATE ON THE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT CAPACITY (REDCAP) REPORT -

presented by Greg Garthe

This item presents a revised draft of the 2017 Regional Development Capacity (REDCAP) Report. The REDCAP Report estimates the development potential within the Regional Growth Boundary and Sewer Service Area (RGB and SSA), assesses the ability of that potential to accommodate growth, and examines the capacity of the Region’s sewer system to support forecasted growth or a full buildout of the RGB and SSA under existing zoning regulations. The majority of development in the Centre Region is directed inside the RGB and SSA, where public infrastructure such as water, transportation, broadband internet, natural gas, and emergency services are most efficiently provided, and where permitted development


densities require public sewer infrastructure. The REDCAP Report forecasts the remaining development capacity of the land inside the RGB and SSA. The estimates are based on an inventory of developable land, which was compiled by CRPA staff in coordination with municipal planners and was based on a standard methodology for identifying, classifying, and calculating the development potential of the properties. The properties in the inventory included vacant land, and partially vacant land with plans for additional development. In addition to an analysis of the remaining development capacity inside the RGB and SSA, the REDCAP Report also considers the impacts of that development potential on regional sewer service. This includes an estimation of total sewage flows based on forecasted growth, or under a “full buildout” scenario of the RGB and SSA under existing zoning regulations. The REDCAP Report also includes a brief analysis of the impacts to sewer service that could result from major proposed rezonings or redevelopments anticipated to occur in the next five years. Staff relied heavily on the local knowledge and professional judgment of the municipal planning staffs for this part of the analysis, and only those properties likely to see development in that time period were included. The enclosed Revised Draft REDCAP Report does not attempt to identify every potential redevelopment scenario that could occur in the Centre Region.

The major findings of the 2017 REDCAP Report include: Development Capacity inside the RGB and SSA: There are more than 4,000 acres of developable land inside the RGB and SSA. This land is capable of supporting over 11,000 additional residential dwelling units, and over 19,000,000 ft2 of non-residential development under existing zoning regulations.

Accommodating Forecasted Growth inside the RGB and SSA: The residential and non-residential growth that is forecasted to occur inside the RGB and SSA through the year 2040 can be supported by the remaining amount of developable land.

Regional Sewer Service Capacity for Forecasted Growth:

o The UAJA is limited to an average annual daily discharge of 6.0 MGD of treated wastewater into Spring Creek by its National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. At the present time, approximately 1.47 MGD of the permitted discharge capacity remains. The UAJA is able to supplement this discharge capacity by producing beneficial reuse water. The UAJA currently produces 1.0 MGD of beneficial reuse water, which effectively raises the discharge limit to 2.47 MGD. In the future, the UAJA plans to expand production to 2.0 MGD, which would raise the limit to 3.47 MGD.


o Utilizing the remaining discharge capacity of 2.47 MGD, the Region’s sewer capacity for forecasted growth would be absorbed in approximately 42 years (2060).

o At a future discharge level of 3.47 MGD, the Region’s sewer capacity for forecasted growth would be absorbed in approximately 59 years (2077).

Regional Sewer Service Capacity for a Full Buildout of the Land Inside the RGB and SSA: A full buildout of the RGB and SSA can be supported by increasing beneficial reuse production to at least 2.0 MGD.

Impact of Major Rezonings: There are over 900 additional residential dwelling units and more than 900,000 ft2 of additional non-residential expected in the Region due to proposed major rezonings or redevelopments anticipated to occur through the year 2022. These redevelopment projects are expected to have relatively minimal impact to the regional sewage system, and would result in approximately 0.2 MGD of additional sewage generated on average each day.

The PSE Committee should consider the following motion:

““That the COG Public Services and Environmental Committee requests that the Executive Committee include a presentation on the update of the Regional Development Capacity (REDCAP) Report on the April 23, 2018 General Forum agenda.”

7. REFUSE AND RECYCLING CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY

presented by Pam Adams This item presents the results of the Refuse and Recycling Customer Satisfaction Survey. This January approximately 10,000 surveys were mailed with the Advanced Disposal invoice to residential customers in Benner, College, Ferguson, Harris and Patton Townships. A link to the survey was posted on the COG website and the municipalities promoted the survey through their social media methods. Surveys could be remitted via US mail or filled out online. We received 1,289 responses with about 500 being remitted via US mail. To the right is a summary of the results with the detailed results to all 23 questions on the survey enclosed. Ms. Adams will provide a short presentation on the results and comments received. During each contract period, customer surveys are conducted to gauge residents’ level of satisfaction with refuse and recycling service in the Centre Region.

ExcellentPoor

2018 Refuse and Recycling Survey Overall Results


Previously surveys were completed in 2012 and 2008 using a combination of a mailed billing insert and an online survey. In 2012, 788 responses were received during a one month time period. Telephone surveys were completed in 2002, 1998 and 1993 with around 130 responses obtained each time. Based on the results of the Customer Satisfaction Survey, 91% of the respondents rate the overall trash program as excellent or good; 83% rate the overall recycling program as excellent or good. While there is strong satisfaction with both programs as a whole, there were some areas identified where residents would like to see improvement.

Five hundred and fifty (550) people chose to provide additional comments to their surveys. These comments were categorized into 13 segments to help better quantify them. Of the comments received, 40% were complimentary of the workers (both field and office), the program or the cost; 22% wanted miscellaneous plastics added to curbside recycling; and 18% thought the recycling program was too hard or too limited. It was also clear that we need to do a better job publicizing the low usage rate. The main area of dissatisfaction from residents was the complexity and limitations of curbside recycling as a whole with miscellaneous plastics specifically mentioned numerous times, and the frequency of the twice-yearly bulk item pick-up.

At its December 7, 2017 meeting, the PSE Committee reviewed the Customer Satisfaction Survey and identified one of the purposes of this survey was to determine if there was a need for stronger customer service specifications in the 2020 contract. Questions 20 – 23 were new in the 2018 survey to address the problems COG staff had reported on during the December meeting concerning Advanced Disposal’s Customer Call Center. Based on the survey results, COG staff does not see a strong need for any major changes to the contract specifications in this area. Rather, COG staff will continue to work with the contracted hauler to educate the customer service representatives on our local program and make sure they continue to understand that customer service is a high priority for our program. The PSE Committee should discuss the results and consider any actions that should be pursued to strengthen the Refuse and Recycling Program. The committee should consider any changes needed to the 2020 Contract specifications based on the survey results and what type of education programs may be needed to help residents better understand the recycling (and bulk waste) programs.

8. DEP RECYCLING GRANT FOR ORGANICS RECYCLING CARTS

presented by Pam Adams

This item presents information on the grant that the Refuse and Recycling Program is applying for from the PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) under their Recycling, Act 101, Section 902 grant program. COG is applying for a grant of $350,000, the maximum allowed, to help pay for the organics recycling carts planned for the 2020 contract.


On December 23, 2017, the DEP announced the opening of a new Section 902 grant round (round 57) to support the development of municipal recycling programs under section 902 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act, Act 101. They have allocated $30 million to this grant round. Through this grant COG is seeking reimbursement for the purchase of organics recycling carts for the introduction of the new curbside organics recycling program planned for the next contract, 2020-2024. All households, currently 15,400, will be eligible to receive a 95 gallon organics cart with wheels. Those carts will be purchased in 2019 to roll out the program in the spring of 2020. Organics recycling will include the collection of food and yard waste. Additional carts will be available for those households that produce more than one 95 gallon cart of organics on a weekly basis. If the grant is awarded to COG, the $350,000 will cover the costs for approximately 6,330 organics recycling 95 gallon carts, including delivery and tracking software. It is anticipated that COG will request additional funding for this project in a subsequent grant round. Any remaining costs for the organics recycling carts will be absorbed in the recycling rates paid by the residents. As a result of this grant opportunity, it means COG will be defining the type of recycling, as well as refuse cart, in the 2020 contract specifications. The cart chosen would be manufactured by Rehrig Pacific in Erie, PA and these containers are on PA Co-Stars. These carts are the same ones being used in State College and Bellefonte Borough. Both programs have given very positive reviews of their product, delivery service and continued customer service. COG staff will provide a sample of the cart at the meeting. This presentation is for informational purposes only and does not require action at this time.

9. OTHER BUSINESS

A. Matter of Record –Penn State's Campus and Community Sustainability Expo is Monday, April 23, 2018 from 4:30 - 6:30 pm at the State College Borough Building. Students from PSU Business Administration 442 class will present their plans for a consistent, engaging message for public outreach being developed for organics recycling.

A copy of the minutes from the February 13, 2018 meeting of the COG Public Safety Committee is enclosed.

4. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) FOR THE DISPATCH OF HAZMAT SERVICES This agenda item asks the Public Safety Committee to review a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) relating to the dispatch procedures for hazmat services and decide whether to recommend its referral to and approval by the General Forum. During its May 9, 2017 meeting the Public Safety Committee authorized that a communication be sent to the County Board of Commissioners recommending that Hazmat responses should be dispatched by the fire or police incident commander at the scene. The current practice is that hazmat responses require the approval of the Centre County Emergency Services Director. The Committee believes the police and fire officers at the scene are in the best position and have the training to determine whether a hazmat response is needed.

Public Safety Committee Agenda April 10, 2018 Page 2 of 4

Enclosed for the Public Safety Committee review is a MOU prepared by Ms. Margaret Gray, Centre County Administrator. It has been shared with the Board of Commissioners and County Emergency Services Director. Both COG Fire Director and Executive Director believe this MOU addresses their immediate concerns regarding dispatch protocols for hazmat services. The Committee should review this MOU and provide comment on the draft. Should the Committee decide to advance the MOU to the General Forum a potential motion to refer to the General Forum is:

“That the Public Safety Committee recommend to the General Forum that the COG Chair be authorized to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the Centre County Board of Commissioners that will allow Incident Commanders in the six Centre Region municipalities to directly request the dispatch of HAZMAT services with the County’s Emergency Management Coordinator or designee advised immediately thereafter.”

Both Ms. Gray and Mr. Bair will be attending the meeting to respond to the Committee’s questions.

5. ANNUAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES REPORT On March 17, 2008, the Second Class Township Code was amended (House Bill 1131) to read:

Section 1553: Emergency Services

a) The Township shall be responsible for ensuring that fire and emergency medical services are provided within the Township by the means and to the extent determined by the Township, including those appropriate financial and administrative assistance for those services.

b) The Township shall consult with the fire and emergency medical services providers to discuss the emergency medical service needs of the Township.

To comply with this amendment to the Township Code, since 2010, the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers within the Centre Region have attended an annual meeting of the Public Safety Committee to report on current operations, opportunities for improvements and future concerns. Each EMS group is asked to address the following topics:

Current status of the EMS organization Current or future concerns that may impact the EMS organization Upcoming large venue events which require planning from the EMS organization Opportunities for local government to assist the EMS organization


Representatives from Centre LifeLink EMS, Mount Nittany Medical Center, Penn State EMS, and Port Matilda EMS have been invited to attend the meeting to discuss these and other items with the Committee.

On behalf of the CCMPO Technical and Coordinating Committees, staff congratulates

Mike Bloom on his appointment as the Assistant Director of the Centre County

Planning and Community Development Office (CCPCDO). Mike takes over from

Sue Hannegan, who retired in March.

Mike was hired as the CCPCDO’s Senior Transportation Planner when a new position

was created in 2004 as part of the expansion of the MPO to a countywide

organization. Over the past 14 years, Mike has excelled at developing creative

solutions for a wide range of transportation planning challenges, managing complex

transportation planning projects and feasibility studies, and building relationships with

federal, state and local officials and residents…of all types, ahem…in the course of

completing his work tasks.

Mike will take over as one of the two Centre County representatives on the CCMPO

Technical Committee. He will be missed as a member of the CCMPO’s transportation

planning staff, but is expected to keep a hand in transportation planning and project

management activities until a new transportation planner is hired and trained. Centre

County government has advertised for a new Senior Planner, and hopes to have the

position filled in the next several months.

Congratulations to Mike on a well-deserved promotion, reflecting his outstanding

efforts on behalf of the CCMPO and the residents of Centre County!

APRIL 11, 2018 MEETING

ITEM 4

2019-2022 CENTRE COUNTY

TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP)

Draft Procedures for TIP Revisions

A set of procedures for revising the new 2019-2022 Centre County TIP must be approved by the CCMPO and

submitted to PennDOT after the TIP is adopted in June 2018. Staff has prepared draft procedures, which are

consistent with the most recent Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between PennDOT, the Federal

Highway Administration (FHWA), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for revising the State TIP.

Key points in the Draft Procedures are:

a. Includes a new requirement that any new project financed with federal funds that is proposed

to be added to the TIP must be approved via a formal amendment. A “new” project is defined

as a project that does not have any funding obligations on a previous TIP.

b. Maintains the threshold for requiring a formal amendment at greater than $1,500,000. The

CCMPO’s threshold is more stringent than the $2,000,000 threshold in the

PennDOT/FHWA/FTA MOU.

c. Adds a requirement that revisions to 100% state-funded projects which are determined to

be “significant” be accomplished by a formal amendment. The determination of whether a

project is “significant” is made by the CRPA Director, in consultation with the CCMPO

Chair and the lead project sponsor, considering the change in estimated cost, project scope,

and the potential impacts of the project.

Attached is:

Draft Procedures for TIP Revisions for the 2019-2022 TIP; changes from the current adopted TIP

Procedures are noted in underlined bold blue font.

For the Committee’s information, staff reviewed all of the revisions made to the current 2017-2020 TIP

between its effective date of October 1, 2016 and April 3, 2018:

Related to the new requirement in paragraph “a” above, of the 36 modifications completed for the current

TIP, only one would have required formal action if the new requirement was in place.

The Technical Committee should review the Draft TIP Revision Procedures, and provide comments

to staff and the Coordinating Committee. A final version of the TIP Procedures will be presented to the

CCMPO for approval in June.

Presented by: Tom Zilla, CRPA

Action: Provide comments to staff and the Coordinating Committee about

the Draft Procedures for TIP Revisions for the 2019-2022 TIP.


ITEM 5

I-99/I-80 INTERCHANGES PROJECT

Funding Commitment to Advance the Project

During the CCMPO Coordinating Committee’s February 27, 2018 discussion of the draft 2019-2022 TIP,

members noted that PennDOT’s Interstate Management Program (separate from the CCMPO’s TIP) includes

funding to reconstruct several bridge structures on I-80 in Marion Township, including two bridges at the Exit

161 (Bellefonte) Interchange.

The funding from PennDOT’s Interstate Management Program is intended to address the urgent need to

replace the Exit 161 bridges, if no funds are available to complete the I-99/I-80 High Speed Interchange and

Local Access Interchange. The Coordinating Committee questioned whether replacing the existing bridges at

Exit 161 represents a good investment of funds, given the strong desire by local officials to move forward

with the High Speed and Local Access Interchanges.

The Coordinating Committee directed staff to include an item on the April 24 meeting agenda for

members to discuss whether the CCMPO should advocate for PennDOT to allocate funding to construct the

new interchanges, rather than replacing the existing bridges, regardless of whether funding is awarded to

PennDOT from the federal discretionary Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) Program.

To help inform the Coordinating Committee’s discussion, the Technical Committee should review this topic

and provide questions and/or comments to staff and the Coordinating Committee.

The Technical Committee should discuss the topic and provide questions and/or comments to staff and

the Coordinating Committee.


Action: Provide questions and/or comments to MPO staff and the

Coordinating Committee about committing full funding for the

I-99/I-80 Interchanges project, instead of allocating funds for

the replacement of the existing I-80 bridges at the Exit 161

(Bellefonte) Interchange.


ITEM 6

PERFORMANCE BASED PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING

Update about Federally Required Performance Measures

Since the passage of the federal Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) bill and its

successor, the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, FHWA and FTA have published several

rules focused on implementing a performance-based approach to transportation planning and programming.

The federal rulemaking requires PennDOT, MPOs, and Rural Planning Organizations (RPOs) to approve

performance measures and performance targets, and to address performance based planning in Long Range

Transportation Plans and Transportation Improvement Programs. In partnership with PennDOT and CATA,

the CCMPO must implement performance measures for several areas, including:

Safety

Pavement and bridge conditions

System performance on the National Highway System (Interstate and non-Interstate highways)

Freight movement on the Interstate highway system

Transit asset management

In November 2017, the CCMPO supported the safety performance measures approved by PennDOT. Over

the next two years, action will be needed to implement performance measures in the other subject areas.

Action will also be needed on a planning agreement between PennDOT, the CCMPO, and CATA that

establishes written procedures for cooperatively developing performance data and reporting about progress

toward meeting performance targets.

MPO staff will provide a brief presentation about the timelines for approval of performance measures for the

various performance areas, and the planning agreement for performance data and reporting.

The Technical Committee should receive the presentation.


No action required.


ITEM 7

LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN (LRTP) 2044 UPDATE

Content of New LRTP and Schedule for Update

The CCMPO’s LRTP 2044 was adopted in September 2015, and must be updated by September 2020. The

MPO staff has identified a target adoption date of June 2020, which would allow the LRTP and 2021-2024

TIP to be adopted concurrently.

As a precursor to initiating work on the update, staff is seeking input from the MPO Committees about the

content of the new LRTP. Staff requests that the Committee provide input about a few questions listed in bold

italics below:

a. The following five core questions were used as the framework for the LRTP 2044, particularly to develop the

implementation strategies and performance measures included in the plan:

1. Is the Centre County transportation system getting safer?

2. Is the Centre County transportation system in a state of good repair?

3. Does the Centre County transportation system have adequate capacity?

4. Does the Centre County transportation system have an adequate mix of modes?

5. Does Centre County’s transportation system support existing and future community and economic

development needs?

Do these five core questions represent an appropriate framework for the new LRTP update?

b. The LRTP 2044 is a “project-specific” plan, with a great deal of emphasis on the solicitation, evaluation, and

prioritization of projects included on modal project lists in the plan. LRTP 2044 also includes “line-item”

funding blocks within the modal project lists. In practice, many projects have been included on the TIP that

were not specifically listed in the LRTP, but fit within the line item funding blocks in the LRTP.

Should the new LRTP be less “project specific”, and include more line item funding blocks, with specific

projects to be selected for funding through the TIP development process?

c. Federal regulations limit long range planning to some extent because of fiscal constraint requirements. For

example, two high-priority major highway projects in Centre County that are inactive are listed in the “Projects

for Future Consideration” category of the LRTP because no funding is committed for the projects.

Should the LRTP include more narrative regarding priority projects or programs that are beyond fiscal

constraint?

d. The LRTP 2044 does not include narrative discussion of key topics that may be important to long range

transportation planning in Centre County. Examples of key topics include, but are not limited to, the need for

investment in public transit rolling stock; a growing emphasis on pedestrian/bicycle travel; new technology

such as automated vehicles; and environmental topics such as transportation’s carbon footprint.

Should the LRTP include greater focus on key transportation issues that are of particular importance to

Centre County?

The Technical Committee should receive introductory remarks from staff, discuss the questions, and

provide comments to staff about the content of the new LRTP.


Action: Comments to staff about the content of the new LRTP.

FFINANCE COMMITTEE COG Forum Room

Thursday, April 12, 2018 8:30 AM

AGENDA

1. CALL TO ORDER

Mr. Graham will convene the meeting.

2. CITIZEN COMMENTS

Members of the public are invited to comment on any items not already on the agenda (five minute per person time limit, please). Comments relating to specific items on the agenda should be deferred until that point in the meeting.


A copy of the minutes of the March 15, 2018 Finance Committee meeting is enclosed.

4. COMMITTEE PICTURE

COG staff would like to take a picture of Committee members to include on our webpage that discusses the Finance Committee. COG believes it would add a personal touch and help residents identify their elected officials when needing to reach out to them.

5. 2017 FUND BALANCE REPORT

Enclosed is a fund balance report that encompasses the 2017 budget, estimates, and actuals along with an explanation for any variances. Since the audits are not finalized, this information is still subject to change, however COG staff, in working with the auditors, believe the figures to be accurate as of December 31, 2017. This information will be useful in the upcoming Capital Improvement Plan, Program Plan, and Detailed Budget projects.

The Committee should review and discuss these reports, but no action is required.

6. 2019 COG BUDGET PROCESS

The Committee should decide whether to recommend budget guidelines to the General Forum for the 2019 COG Budget at its April meeting or delay that decision to a future meeting.

During the past five years, the Finance Committee has set a guideline regarding changes in the overall annual COG Budget. In establishing these guidelines, the Committee asked COG staff

Finance Committee Agenda April 12, 2018 Page 2 of 4

to keep the overall increase in municipal contributions to the COG (all Agencies) to a set percentage. Below is a table identifying the percentage set by the General Forum and the actual increase adopted in the annual budget proposed by the Finance Committee:

By way of background, the 2018 guideline approved by the General Forum during its May 22, 2017 meeting reads as follows:

“That the General Forum, as recommended by the Finance Committee, endorse a target for the Centre Region COG that the increase in municipal contributions for the 2018 calendar year should be 2.75% or less from the 2017 approved COG Budget.”

As in previous years, the Executive Director recommends that a guideline, if desired by the Committee, be applied to the combined total COG Budget and not to each of the 26 separate funds that make up the COG budget.

During the discussion surrounding the 2018 budget guideline, the Committee requested:

That time be given to consult with their municipal boards and report back. That staff provide information and/or a recommendation to the Committee.

Relating to the second bullet point, staff would like to provide a recommendation to increase the 2018 budget guideline from 2.75%. This request is based on the following information:

Inflationary pressures in excess of prior year’s 2.75% cap:

1. Wage growth – the current CPI-U calculation is trending between 2% and 2.25%. When added to the approved merit pool, the real wage increase will be between 3.5% and 3.75%. 2017 payroll was just over $5.3 million COG-wide.

2. Health Insurance – over the past 5 years health insurance costs have increased an average of 7% per year. Gross health insurance premiums for 2017 were approximately $1.2 million.

Fixed costs:

1. Debt service (Code loans, Fulton Loan – Regional Parks, & Pools Loan – Jersey Shore State Bank) should remain reasonably consistent through 2019.

Budget Year

General Forum Guideline

Actual Change

Difference

2018 2.75% 2.38% (-0.37%) 2017 2.75% 1.95% (- 0.80%) 2016 3.00% 2.46% (- 0.54%) 2015 3.00% 1.95% (- 1.05%) 2014 3.00% 3.24% 0.24%


2. Rent costs throughout the COG should remain mostly fixed over the next 2-3 years with

the exception of the step increases included in the lease for the Active Adult Center at the Nittany Mall.

Additional Service Costs:

1. As the Centre Region continues to expand and more strain is placed on the volunteer fire company, there have been additional costs incurred to retain and attract volunteer fire fighters. 2018 was step one in a multistep process which is currently being studied by the Fire Director and the Centre Region Managers.

2. The Elected Officials have communicated a desire for COG to become more environmentally conscious in its decision making. While these decisions can many times be cost neutral, they often times require an upfront capital contribution with a pay back over a number of years because of reduced operating costs – similar to the KINBER fiber network project. To date, COG has not been accruing capital funds to meet this desire.

3. Later in 2018 the Public Safety Committee may consider options for COG having a larger

role in the provision of Hazmat services in the Centre Region. The University may be a funding partner in this new arrangement, however additional municipal funds may be required.

Capital Exclusion:

1. New capital projects, such as a desire to expand the facilities at Millbrook Marsh Nature Center, cannot be met within the current constraints of the budget cap.

2. The proposed Ad Hoc Facilities Committee may identify issues with the estimates and assumptions contained in the current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that could result in either reduced or increased capital costs. This would be the direct result of staff and the elected officials having access to improved information.

3. The municipalities could elect to add onto an existing facility or create a new facility that could result in additional capital and operating needs. An example of this would be the construction of a 4th fire station in Ferguson Township. While Ferguson Township would construct the fire station, the recurring costs associated with the station and the capital replacement needs would be the responsibility of the COG and would represent a new financial obligation. The Committee should review the information associated with this agenda item and provide staff with direction.


7. MONTHLY REPORTS

The March 2018 voucher report is enclosed (electronically only). To proceed, the Committee should consider the following motion:

“That the Finance Committee approves the March 2018 voucher report for the Centre Region COG.”

Each month paper copies of the financial and voucher reports will be available at the meeting to folks who have requested paper agenda packets. If the Committee has any questions about any of the items in these reports, please let Finance Director Joe Viglione ([email protected] or 231-3062) know as soon as possible, so that the information can be researched prior to the next Committee meeting.

8. OTHER BUSINESS

A. Matter of Record – Millbrook Marsh Nature Center advertised a Request for Bid for the Barn Sprinkler Replacement from March 16-30. Three bids were received by the deadline and one bid was received late. All bids were opened and read aloud at 4:00 pm on March 30. Agency staff met with Dave Felice from Centre Region Codes to review the bids. Upon further review of the project timeline and some exceptions to the bid as well as clarifications requested by the bidders, the Agency recommended to the Authority that all bids be rejected. It is the Agency’s intent to re-bid this project in late summer to allow for more time for the vendor to finalize drawings, go through plan review, receive permits, do the removal and installation, conduct water testing, and hold final inspections. Additionally, with some of the notes made during the on-site walk-through and written in the bids, the Agency will add more information to the bid document and clarify some of the questions. On April 2, via conference call, the CRPR Authority approved the recommendation to reject all bids, noting the Agency’s intention to re-bid the project.

B. Matter of Record – 2017 audit fieldwork for Schlow Centre Region Library, the Centre Region Parks and Recreation Authority, and the Centre Region COG has been completed.

C. Matter of Record – COG moved most of their phone service from Windstream to contracts with Solex & AireSpring. It is the hope that the change will improve service while reducing cost by about 30%. State College Borough IT is now managing all aspects of the telephone system and service for the COG building and remote park sites.

D. Matter of Record – As requested at last month’s meeting, an insurance claim has been filed related to the UV system at Welch Pool. The insurance adjustor is in the process of contacting the installer of the system.

JOINT MEETING OF THE PARKS CAPITAL COMMITTEE AND THE CENTRE REGION PARKS AND RECREATION AUTHORITY

COG General Forum Room

Thursday, April 12, 2018 12:15pm

AGENDA

1. CALL TO ORDER Chair Bruce Lord will convene the meeting.

2. CITIZEN COMMENTS Members of the public are invited to comment on any items not already on the agenda (five minutes per person time limit, please). Comments relating to specific items on the agenda should be deferred to that point in the meeting.

3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A copy of the minutes from the January 11, 2018 joint meeting of the COG Parks Capital Committee and Centre Region Parks and Recreation Authority is enclosed (attachment #1). Joint meetings were not held in February and March.

4. PARKS AND RECREATION REGIONAL COMPREHENSIVE STUDY (Eric Bernier)

A. Request For Proposal The Steering Committee continued to meet throughout the fall of 2017 and met in January to set the 2018 meeting schedule. Just after the December meeting, CRPR received notification that the Agency was awarded 100% of their grant request at $37,500. The $37,500 match is in place, with $18,750 provided in the 2017 COG budget, and $18,750 provided in the 2018 COG budget.

The Committee has been meeting monthly since September and reviewed and discussed the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ (DCNR) Comprehensive Plans Suggested Scope of Work Guidelines. The Committee used each guideline and topic area to review the current status of operations and agreements which then guided the conversation for what learning opportunities are available through this project and desired results. During the committee’s March meeting, a 75% draft of the Request for Proposal was reviewed and discussed, and most recently the committee reviewed a 95% complete Request for Proposal. Also discussed while drafting the Request for Proposal was opportunities for alternate bidding options with the hope that there could be some local options to reduce the project costs. It was suggested that the committee meet with members from the PSU Department of Recreation, Parks, and Tourism (RPTM) to evaluate their interest in those alternate options. For example, could RPTM handle local data collection

2

Joint Meeting Agenda April 12, 2018 Page 2

as part of the bid, and on behalf of a consultant. This idea was received with enthusiasm, so steering committee members reached out to RPTM in December. A follow-up meeting was held in late March because the RFP was 95% complete and it was a good time to review the project and to discuss RPTM’s involvement. The RPTM Staff are discussing this project and should be in touch very soon regarding their interest, either as an alternate source for data collection or as a full bidder on the project. Once the committee knows the direction RPTM would be willing to take, staff will finalize the Request for Proposal draft and submit it to DCNR for its review process; the deadline to submit the draft Request for Proposal is April 26. B. Steering Committee Membership During the February DCNR conference call to kick-off the grant project, Ms. Salokangas discussed the membership of the Steering Committee. At that time, DCNR felt that the Steering Committee membership was too narrow and asked us to make adjustments to membership, to consider adding a handful of new members from the general public or from community groups not already represented. Ms. Salokangas brought that information to the March Steering Committee for discussion. After much conversation, it was determined that the question should be taken to COG’s Executive Committee for their discussion and since this group made the initial committee appointments. At the March Executive Committee meeting, Ms. Salokangas shared this same information with the committee members, and feedback was mixed. At the conclusion of that discussion, the Executive Committee suggested that if DCNR was in agreement, a suggested addition could be a school district board member/appointee. Ms. Salokangas shared this with DCNR and they agreed to that recommendation. Ms. Salokangas shared this information with the Steering Committee members at their April meeting and all were pleased with this direction. At this time, Ms. Salokangas is requesting to the COG Executive Committee for approval to send a letter to the school board asking them to make an appointment. DCNR was not concerned with this new member coming on-board after the Request For Proposal draft is complete as they feel that there is plenty more work to be done.

5. WHITEHALL ROAD REGIONAL PARK UPDATE (Pam Salokangas)

A. Farming Lease In December, it was announced that Penn State and Toll Brothers executed their contract for the student housing development along Whitehall Road; at this time, Toll Brothers is the owner of the property to be developed. In addition, CRPR, via Stahl Sheaffer, was contacted by Penn Terra, Toll Brothers’ engineering firm, to meet to discuss their development plans, timeline, and to discuss the infrastructure to be provided by Toll Brothers. At the meeting, the Authority, COG, Staff, and a representative from Stahl Sheaffer were in attendance with PennTerra officials. To finalize their plans, they requested a letter from the Authority noting that it approved of the plans and of the infrastructure being provided to the Whitehall Road Regional Park. The Authority drafted said letter and forwarded it to PennTerra to include with their documents being forwarded to Ferguson Township. It is important to note, generally, that with Toll Brothers agreeing to provide park infrastructure, with a valuation of $1,200,000, funds earmarked for the driveway, traffic light at Whitehall/Blue Course, traffic

3


light at Blue Course/Bristol, utilities, and off-site traffic improvements can be reinvested into park amenities. In March, the Authority began negotiations for the farming lease for the 75-acre parcel because it is a year-to-year lease. The 25-acre parcel’s lease runs through November 30, 2018. Since construction was going to commence on the student housing project, the lessee, Jonathan Woskob, PennTerra, and Ms. Salokangas met on-site to review construction plans and to discuss access for farm equipment. It was learned that a portion of the current farm lane was going to be relocated 50’ to the west and that PennTerra would be finalizing that easement with the State College Borough Water Authority (SCBWA). PennTerra indicated that day that they would note in their presentation to the SCBWA that Mr. Woskob would need farming equipment access. The Agency was notified by PennTerra that this request was approved. During the on-site visits and upon further discussions, it was determined that approximately three (3) acres of tillable land would be removed from the original lease that included 67-acres of tillable land within the 75-acre parcel. Due to the proximity of construction to the park’s boundary and the fact that the sewer line and pump station construction would cut through tillable acreage, this reduction would protect the farmer from any damaged crops and any issues related to farmed acres. A new lease was drafted and approved by the Authority in early April. B. Informational Packet Because there are new members on the Authority as well as on the Parks Capital Committee, Ms. Salokangas created a Whitehall Road Regional Park informational packet to share with new members. The packet covered historical information like Master Plan information, legal issues, loans and grants, project work, etc. It also included a copy of the original master plan, the current and approved master plan, the Penn State-produced Whitehall Road Property Fact Sheet, and the summaries of all committee meetings that took place from December, 2016 through April, 2017. That packet is also enclosed (attachment #2) for Parks Capital Committee members. That packet was also shared with the Ferguson Township Board of Supervisors, Ferguson Township Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, groups interested in fundraising for park amenities, Stahl Sheaffer Engineering, and the State College Borough Water Authority Board members. Additional copies are available for anyone who would like a copy. C. Ferguson Township Letter to the CRPR Authority The Ferguson Township Board of Supervisors discussed the Whitehall Road Regional Park project at their March 19 board meeting. No one was in attendance from the Agency or Authority; unfortunately, Ms. Salokangas was attending the Borough Council meeting for the Ad-Hoc Action Sports Park Committee’s presentation. In follow-up to their discussion, Mr. Pribulka sent a letter dated March 21 to the Authority and COG; a copy of that letter is enclosed (attachment #3) for review.

4


Ms. Dinnini, Parks Capital Committee member, requested that there be discussion time during this meeting regarding the content of this letter. D. Whitehall Road Regional Park – Next Steps Ms. Salokangas had her first meeting with Stahl Sheaffer Engineering on April 5 to determine the next steps for this project. The short-term goal is to meet the pending deadline of presenting an updated plan, timeline, and budget to the General Forum on May 29. The plan will include a summary of the amenities to be included in the Phase I development of the park, per the overall approved Master Plan. Along with that summary, the Authority hopes to provide a draft timeline for the project as well as an estimated budget related to chosen amenities, surfaces, fields, buildings, utilities (the plan, as noted above). The very next steps for staff is to hire an architect for the project as the architect, staff, and engineers will begin discussions related to amenities, fields, surface selections, utilities, buildings, site development, stormwater updates, etc. Depending on the outcome of the General Forum meeting, there could be additional steps required by the elected officials. If not, the Authority and staff would move forward with beginning the work to create the updated Land Development Plan which will show full details of the Phase I development. Lastly, it is the hope of the Agency that we can schedule a Learning Lunch for newly elected officials and Parks Capital Committee members for this project. We have talked about holding lunch here at the COG Building, and then moving on-site for a brief review of the master plan while looking at the parcels that make-up the park. We would like to schedule this for possibly late April or early May.

6. OTHER BUSINESS

A. Matter of Record – The next joint meeting between the Parks Capital Committee and the Centre Region Parks & Recreation Authority is scheduled for May 10, 2018, at 12:15pm in the COG General Forum.

B. Matter of Record – Due to travel schedules, the CRPR Authority meeting will not meet at its regular time in April. The regular meeting has been rescheduled for Wednesday, April 25 at 12:15pm at Innovation Park at Ben Franklin Technology Partners. A map and parking information is posted on the COG website via the meeting calendar.

DRAFT Policy on Board Member Requests to Place Items on the Agenda

4. Meeting Rules of Order

Board Member Requests to Place Items on the Agenda. Board members are encouraged to

present items for consideration, discussion, and action at Regular Meetings of the Board of

Supervisors. In order to mitigate issues of favoritism, enmity, or whim, the Board agrees that the

following procedure shall be followed when individual members are requesting items be placed

on the agenda for discussion and action:

A Board member shall write an agenda item proposal which aligns with or shapes the Board’s

strategic direction. The proposal shall include the following items:

• A general background on the issue to be taken up and an explanation of its current

status;

• Defining the issue and its relevance to the Board’s ongoing work including why it should

be a part of the Board’s strategic direction;

• Describing what, if any, legislative or informational action is to be taken up;

• A recommended motion that includes the action proposed to be taken by the Board; and

• Any supporting data or relevant documents to accompany the proposed item.

The proposed item shall be included as part of the Consent Agenda for consideration at the next

scheduled Regular Meeting. Board members may vote on the item as part of the Consent

Agenda, in which case an affirmative vote shall direct staff to place the item on the next Regular

Meeting agenda as “New Business.” Any individual Board member may request a proposed

agenda item be removed from the Consent Agenda for discussion under “New Business” of that

meeting’s agenda. Upon further discussion, the Board Chair shall call for a voice vote to

determine whether that item will be placed on the following Regular Meeting agenda for

discussion and action.

Board members are encouraged, but not required to work with the Township Manager to draft

proposed agenda items and recommended motions for consideration. Should the Board agree

that a proposed agenda item should be placed on the next scheduled Regular Meeting agenda,

the requestor will work with staff and/or subject matter experts to provide relevant information,

documents, presentations to the Board, and other applicable resources for inclusion in the

agenda packet. Background materials for the proposed agenda item should be provided to the

Township Manager no later than the Wednesday before the Regular Meeting it is to be included

on.

It is recognized that Township staff is exempt from this policy. Furthermore, it is recognized that

Board members requesting items be placed on the agenda that are time sensitive may be

exempt from this policy at the discretion of the Township Manager. Examples of this may

include, but are not limited to requests for action from COG or Regional Committees and

requests for letters of support for local initiatives. In such cases, the Township Manager may

place the item under “New Business” on the next Regular Meeting agenda.

To: David Pribulka, Ferguson Township Manager

From: Peter Buckland, Chair of the Ferguson Township Board of Supervisors

Date: 3.14.2018

RE: Placing Items on the Agenda

This memo sets out a temporary rule for placing items on the agenda. The board should consider

a policy that requires its members to formally submit agenda items. According to our policies,

the Chair and the Manager set the agenda together. However, the lack of a clear policy with

criteria has caused some consternation and confusion. While the substance of any complaint may

be debatable, the current practice is subject to the bias and whim of the Chair whether s/he wants

it to be. To mitigate issues of favoritism, enmity, or whim, items to be placed on the agenda

should be moved through the Board, as a whole.

I propose a policy such as the following:

Board members ought to write an agenda item proposal that aligns with or shapes the Board’s

strategic direction. Just like staff do, the agenda item should:

a. Provide background on the issue to be taken up and explain its current status.

b. Define the issue and its relevance to the Board’s ongoing work and why it should

be part of the Board’s work.

c. Describe the informational or legislative action to be taken up.

d. Provide a recommended motion: That the Board of Supervisors receive, discuss,

or adopt [x].

e. Staff may assist in the drafting of any Board member’s agenda item.

f. Staff are exempt from this rule.

g. Staff should be directed to draft a policy to include in the Procedures Manual.

Guidance: Assuming the Board votes in favor of hearing the agenda item, then the Board

member will work with staff or relevant citizens or experts on providing relevant information,

documents, or presentations to the Board. Background materials for the item in question should

be provided for the Board in a timely fashion, preferably when the agenda is sent to the Board by

staff.

Ferguson Township Board of Supervisors Procedures

Revised June 19, 2017 Adopted January 2, 2018

Last Adopted January 2, 2018 1

Introduction & Overview The Ferguson Township Board of Supervisors establishes important and often critical governance policies for the community and is also responsible for the fiscal health, of a public corporation having an annual General Fund budget of over $12 million. Purpose of the Procedures Document The Board of Supervisors of Ferguson Township adopts these procedures by Resolution at the annual organizational meeting to document accepted practices and clarify expectations. While attempting not to be overly restrictive, procedures are established so that expectations and practices can be clearly articulated to guide Board members in their actions governing Ferguson Township. This procedures manual will aid the Board in taking responsible action in its conduct of Township business.

1. Ferguson Township Board of Supervisors: General Powers and Responsibilities Board of Supervisors Generally – The powers of the Board of Supervisors of a Home Rule Municipality in Pennsylvania are fairly broad. Essentially, Home Rule Municipalities may undertake any action related to township affairs other than those forbidden or preempted by State or Federal law. Specifically, the Board shall have the power, in the name of the Township, to do and perform all acts and things appropriate to a municipal corporation and the general welfare of its inhabitants and which are not specifically forbidden by the U.S. and Pennsylvania Constitutions and laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Home Rule Charter. Actions Taken as a Board – As established by the Home Rule Charter, the Board acts only as a body. No member has any individual powers within the Township. While the Chair has some additional ceremonial and administrative responsibilities as described below, in the establishment of policies, voting and in other significant areas, all members are equal. It is also important to note that policy is established by at least a majority vote of the Board. While individual members may disagree with decisions of the majority, a decision of the majority does bind the Township to a course of action. In turn, it is staff's responsibility to ensure the policy of the Board is upheld. Actions of staff to pursue the policy direction established by a majority of Board do not reflect any bias against Board members who held a minority opinion on an issue. Serving on Committees – Limitations are imposed on a Board member's ability to serve on advisory boards of the Township. No member of the Board shall be appointed to or serve as a voting member of any municipal authority, board, or commission, except those positions that are normally filled by elected officials, such as Centre Region COG committees and the Spring Creek Watershed Commission. This is not construed as prohibiting members of the Board from serving on committees or subcommittees of the Board itself, or of agencies representing other levels of government. In fact, Board members are encouraged to participate and provide leadership in regional, state and national programs and meetings. Board members should respect the assigned committee roles and not duplicate representation of the Board at various


committee meetings unless requested by the assigned Board member. Board members are expected to report to the Board on matters discussed at subcommittees and other regional, state, and national board/agency/group activities in which they have been appointed. Typically, assignments to committee positions are made at the beginning of the year at the annual reorganization meeting. A vote of the Board will be taken to confirm all appointments. In interacting with committees, Board members are to reflect the positions of the Board as a body when such positions have been established by vote or consensus of the Board. In cases where such vote or consensus does not exist, Board members should use their best judgement, keeping in mind that their votes represent the Township and not a personal position. Activities Not Related to Municipal Government – Board members may choose to participate in community activities, committees, events, and taskforces. When a Board member participates in these types of activities, the Board member is acting as an interested party rather than acting on behalf of the Board of Supervisors. Board Chair – As reflected in the Home Rule Charter, the Board Chair is to preside at all meetings of the Board of Supervisors and perform such other duties consistent with the office as may be imposed by the Board. As presiding officer of the Board, the Board Chair is to faithfully communicate the will of the Board majority in matters of policy. The Board Chair is also recognized as the official head of the Township for ceremonial purposes. The Board Chair has also been assigned by the Board of Supervisors to consult and coordinate with the Township Manager in the development of agendas for meetings of the Board of Supervisors. The scope of such review focuses on the timing of business items and the volume of business that can be considered at any one meeting. Such review does not allow for a unilateral unlimited delay of items to be considered by the Board. Should any significant disagreement arise regarding the scheduling of items, these matters are to be resolved by the full Board of Supervisors. Board Vice-Chair – Elected by the Board at its first organized meeting following election of the Board of Supervisors, the Board Vice-Chair shall perform the duties of the Board Chair during the Board Chair's absence or disability. The Vice-Chair shall serve in this capacity at the pleasure of the Board of Supervisors. In the event of a vacancy in the office of Board Chair, the Vice-Chair shall assume the office of Board Chair with all the duties and obligations of that office.

2. Communications with the Public Correspondence from Board Members – The Board of Supervisors will occasionally be called upon to write letters to citizens, businesses or other public agencies. Typically, the Board Chair will be charged with transmitting the Township’s position on policy matters to outside agencies on behalf of the Board of Supervisors. This duty may be delegated to the Township Manager for general correspondence on which the Board position is clear. Other communications may be delegated to the Manager with the approval of the Board. Individual members of Board must refrain from representing the Board position in an official capacity unless requested by the Board as a whole.


Communications Regarding Undetermined Issues – On occasion, members may wish to transmit correspondence on an issue upon which the Board has yet to take a position or about an issue for which the Board has no position. In these circumstances, members must clearly indicate that they are not speaking for the Board of Supervisors, but for themselves. Communications Regarding Determined Issues – After the Board of Supervisors has taken a position on an issue, official correspondence should reflect this position. If a Board member desires to correspond a dissenting opinion, the correspondence should clearly state that the Board has taken an official position and that the member is expressing a dissenting opinion as an individual Board member. Speaking for the Township – Similar to written correspondence, when members are requested to speak to groups or are asked the Board's position on an issue, the response should reflect the position of the Board, as a whole. Of course, a member may clarify their vote on a matter by stating, "While I voted against X, the Board of Supervisors voted in support of it." When representing the Township at meetings or other venues, it is important that those in attendance gain an understanding of the Board’s position as well as that of the individual member. 3. Interactions with Staff Overview – Board of Supervisors policy is implemented through professional staff. Therefore, it is critical that the relationship between Board and staff be well understood by all parties so policies and programs may be implemented successfully. To maintain effective relationships, it is important that roles are clearly recognized. Township Manager – The Board appoints a Township Manager to implement policy and undertake the administration of the organization. All staff hiring, discipline and termination decisions, except for the Township Manager position itself, are the sole responsibility of the Township Manager. The Manager is required to obtain the concurrence of the Board regarding the hiring and termination of department head positons. As per the Home Rule Charter and Administrative Code, all dealings between the Board of Supervisors and staff are carried out through Township Manager. Neither the Board as a whole, nor Board members individually, are authorized to direct staff members in performance of their duties to the Township. The Township Manager is appointed by the Board of Supervisors to enforce its laws, to direct the daily operations of the Township, to prepare and monitor the budget, and to implement the policies and programs initiated by the Board of Supervisors. The Township Manager is responsible to the entire Board of Supervisors and not to individual Board members. Board/Manager Relationship – The employment relationship between the Board of Supervisors and Township Manager honors the fact that the Township Manager is the Chief Administrative Officer of the Township. The Board and the Township Manager are a participatory team and the Board of Supervisors must avoid situations that can result in Township staff being directed, intentionally or unintentionally, by one or more members of the Board of Supervisors. Regular communication between the Board of Supervisors and


Township Manager is important in maintaining open communications. All dealings with the Township Manager, whether in public or private, should respect the responsibilities of the Township Manager in administrative matters. Disagreements should be expressed in policy terms, rather than in terms that question satisfaction with or support of the Township Manager. As in any professional relationship, it is important that the Township Manager keep the Board of Supervisors informed. The Township Manager respects and is sensitive to the political responsibility of the Board of Supervisors and acknowledges that the final responsibility for establishing the policy direction of the Township is held by the Board of Supervisors. The Township Manager communicates with Board of Supervisors in various ways. It is equally important that the Board provide ongoing feedback, information and perceptions to the Township Manager including some response to written communication requesting feedback. On occasion, the Township Manager may request the attendance of a Board member at a specific party-directed meeting. Since the Township Manager is responsible to the entire Board of Supervisors and not to individual Board members, and so that Board members are treated equally and similarly informed, the Manager will inform the entire Board of said meeting at the next Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting. The Township Manager will make every effort to respond in a timely and professional manner to all requests made by individual Board members for information or assistance, provided that, in the opinion of the Manager, the request is not of a magnitude, either in terms of workload or policy, which would require that it would be more appropriately assigned through the direction of the full Board of Supervisors. At the Manager’s discretion, any such request may be submitted to the full Board as an agenda item for direction from the Board concerning the commitment of staff or resources to the request. If directed by action of the Board, Township Manager will proceed to complete the work within a Board-established timeline. Staff roles – The Board recognizes the primary functions of staff as executing Board policy and actions taken by the Board and in keeping the Board informed. The Board expects the Township Manager to not cause or allow any practice, activity, decision or circumstance which is either illegal, immoral, imprudent, or in violation of community accepted business and professional ethics. Staff is obligated to take guidance and direction only from the Board as a whole, through the Township Manager, or from the appropriate management supervisors. Staff is directed to reject any attempts by individual members of the Board to unduly direct or otherwise pressure them into making, changing or otherwise influencing recommendations. Board/Staff Relationship – It is the intent of staff to ensure Board members have free access to information from the Township and to ensure that such information is communicated completely and with candor to those making the request. However, Board members must avoid intrusion into those areas that are the responsibility of staff. Individual Board members may not intervene in staff decision-making, the development of staff recommendations, scheduling of work, attending staff meetings internally or externally and executing department priorities without the prior knowledge and approval of the Board of Supervisors as a whole. This is necessary to allow staff to execute priorities given by management and the Board as a whole without fear of reprisal. A Department Head or the Manager may request the attendance of a Board member at specific staff-directed meetings at their discretion. The


Township Manager should be informed of and give prior approval to any such request. Individual members of the Board of Supervisors shall not make attempts to pressure or influence staff decisions, recommendations, workloads, schedules, and department priorities. If a Board member wishes to influence the actions, decisions, recommendations, workloads, work schedule, and priorities of staff, that member must prevail upon the Board to do so as a matter of Board policy to be implemented by the Township Manager.

Communications Between Staff and Board Members – In general, requests for information or opinions from staff should be submitted by email. All email communication between Board members and staff is considered to be official business. In general, communication between a Board member and staff that is routine in nature, for example, confirming meeting times, places, coordinating travel or registrations is not required to the shared with the entire Board. All Board members should be copied on all correspondence involving requests for information including, but not limited to historical, policy-related, project status, requests for items to be placed on the agenda, and other such communications. 4. Meeting Rules of Order

General Procedures – Under the Administrative Code of the Township, the guiding rules of order are defined as the latest edition of Robert’s Rules of Order - Newly Revised. The administrative code also includes several special rules of order as modifications. Any issue of procedure relating to the conduct of a meeting or hearing not otherwise provided for herein may be determined by the Chairman of the Board, subject to appeal to the full Board, as specified in Robert’s Rules of Order. In addition, to Robert’s Rules and special rules of order, the board can adopt, as part of this Resolution, standing rules of order. These are rules that generally apply to meetings but which can be suspended at any given meeting by a majority vote of the Board. Standing Rules of Order– The Board has adopted the following Standing Rules of Order:

• On all votes that are not unanimous, the minutes shall reflect the names of Board members who voted against a motion.

• An individual Board member may vote against a motion that he or she introduces. Public Hearings – As detailed in the Township Charter, residents of Ferguson Township have a right to bring issues of concern to the Board. In addition, public hearings include an opportunity for citizens to address the Board on the topic of the hearing. In order to facilitate public input while allowing time for the Board to address other items of business in a timely fashion, such comment will be limited to five minutes per speaker. This time can be extended at the discretion of the Chair. The Chair can limit total time allotted to public comment at any meeting, subject to appeal by the Board. Executive Sessions and Confidential Information – Executive Session meetings are special meetings of the Board that are closed to the public. From time to time, the Board will meet in executive session to discuss particular matters as outlined in the Township Home Rule Charter


and the Pennsylvania Sunshine Act. The purpose of an executive session is to discuss matters that are not public as defined by Pennsylvania law and/or which involve sensitive matters that cannot be carried out in public. These sessions are closed to the public and are not recorded. Individual staff members, legal counsel, or others having information relevant to the topic of discussion will be included in the meeting at the invitation of the Board. Executive session discussions involve sensitive or protected information and that information must be kept confidential. Members of the Board, employees of the Township, or anyone else present shall not disclose to any person, including affected/opposing parties, the press, or any other person, the content or substance of any discussion which takes place in a closed session without the Board’s direction and concurrence. In addition, members of the Board may occasionally receive information that is not considered public under the Pennsylvania right to know laws. Such information will be marked “Confidential” and should not be disclosed to anyone other than Board members or relevant staff without the direction and concurrence of the Board, as a whole.

VI. UNFINISHED BUSINESS

a. Public Hearing on a Petition of Electors of Ferguson Township

Mr. Pribulka reviewed the petition requesting that, “Ferguson Township require written confirmation, prior to construction that Penn State University and Toll brothers are to be held financially responsible, in perpetuity, for any pollution to [the Harter and Thomas Wellfields] directly attributable to the development.” He noted 53 registered voters had signed the petition. The Home Rule Charter obligations and Township Solicitor’s opinion letter were reviewed. Mr. Pribulka summarized the opinion letter comments and noted that staff concurs with the Solicitor’s opinion in this matter. An alternate course of action was discussed as a post-construction impact agreement between the Township and developer that would be voluntary. Following the reading of the petition by Ms. Blair, citizens voiced their concerns regarding clean water and potential of containment risks, growth boundary, hydrogeological aspects, open space, insurance as an added level of protection, mitigation and future provisions/improvements. Citizens who spoke included Ms. Blair, Mr. McKinnon, Mr. Glebe and Mr. Stone. Mr. Miller moved that the Board of Supervisors acknowledge the request submitted through the petition and decline to take the requested action on the grounds that the Board does not have the authority to develop the requested agreement. Mr. Ricciardi seconded the motion. Mr. Miller discussed the petition’s requested action and why such an agreement cannot be legally enforced. He went on to discuss the process on water issues that are covered by State and Federal law and are not under the Township’s authority. Further Board discussion followed on potential options for water protection, the three-month timeline and to request a post-construction impact agreement separate from the petition request. Mr. Miller noted a separate discussion may need to take place on future implications. Referenced was Article 1, Section 27 of the Bill of Rights and to get a synopsis from the PA Municipal League Conference notes for the Board’s future discussion. It was determined that background information will be needed and for staff to discuss with the Solicitor what prototypes are used in regards to post-construction impact agreements, execution of agreements in this context and the likely outcome with a developer. The motion passed unanimously.

b. Rezoning Request – 2191 West Whitehall Road, Harner Farms

Mr. Pribulka reviewed the history of the submitted application that was included with the agenda.

Mr. Ricciardi moved that the Board of Supervisors refer the request to rezoning 2191 West Whitehall Road to the Planning Commission for review and comment. Ms. Carlson seconded the motion. Discussion followed on the process of acquiring right-of-way, warrant analysis and the conducting of a traffic study. Mr. Mandell noted the plan that was developed was in direct response to the feedback from the Board and surrounding property owners. Letters were sent to adjacent property owners for feedback and gave some detail on the sessions attended. Main topics included: Proportion of residential and commercial development; concern for what was going to be adjacent

f. Discussion of Procedure for Board of Supervisor’s Requests to Place Items on the Agenda

Mr. Buckland introduced the request that was provided with the agenda along with the procedures manual. Staff would be exempt from rule, proposed items to be added at the end of New Business and receive minimal discussion and if needed a course of action in a future agenda. If adopted, it would become part of the procedures manual. Mr. Buckland moved that the Board of Supervisors direct staff to prepare a policy for inclusion in the Board of Supervisors Procedures Manual outlining the process by which Board members request items be placed on the Regular Meeting agenda. Mr. Ricciardi seconded the motion. Discussion followed on the process of how to formally submit requests. Mr. Pribulka will draft an amendment to the existing procedures manual for review and consideration at the next regular meeting.

TOWNSHIP OF FERGUSON 3147 Research Drive • State College, Pennsylvania 16801

Telephone: 814-238-4651 • Fax: 814-238-3454 www.twp.ferguson.pa.us

TO: David Pribulka, Township Manager

Ferguson Township Board of Supervisors FROM: David Modricker P.E., Public Works Director


SUBJECT: AWARD OF MATERIALS BID FOR 2018 – “Aggregate and Asphalt” Bids were opened publicly for the aggregate and asphalt contract at 2 PM on Tuesday, April 10, 2018 and read aloud. David Modricker and Ryan Scanlan of Ferguson Township were present. The contract was advertised in the Centre Daily Times and notice was provided to potential bidders. Three bids were received for aggregate (Hanson, GOH, and Woodland Equipment and Supply) and two bids were received for asphalt materials (HRI, and GOH) as summarized on the attachment. Aggregate is bid delivered to the Township at 3147 Research Drive, and asphalt material is bid FOB (freight on board), meaning our trucks drive to the asphalt plant and pick it up. Therefore, the cost of our trucking is factored into the award for asphalt. Based on my review, I recommend that the Board of Supervisors award items 1, 2, 3, and 4 (aggregate) to Hanson Aggregate in the amount of $9,520.00, and items 5, 6, 7, and 8 (asphalt) to GOH in the amount of $22,900.00 all under Contract 2018-C7c, Aggregate and Asphalt. The budget for this year’s road materials including pipe, concrete, sealants as well as asphalt and aggregate is $65,000.00. Asphalt and Aggregate bids are within the budget.

Planning & Zoning Director’s Report Monday, April 9, 2018

PLANNING COMMISSION The Ferguson Township Planning Commission met on April 9th, 2018 and included the following discussion:

LAND DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND OTHER PROJECTS • An Active Plan List is attached for the Board of Supervisors consideration (4/11/18). • Planning Commission Minutes from the March 26, 2018 meeting.

Planning and Zoning staff initiated agency reviews as the application and map have been forwarded to Centre County Office of Planning and Community Development, Centre Regional Planning Agency, State College Area School District, University Area Joint Authority, State College Borough Water Authority and the Township Solicitor for their initial review and comment. Staff provided the Planning Commission with an initial overview of the revised request that included changes from the original 2017 submission, along with current ordinance criteria and standards for Single-Family Residential and General Commercial. Planning Commission members inquired about the elimination of the Two-Family Residential District and the process of community engagement that occurred in early January. Planning and Zoning staff will be revising the land use analysis and providing it to members for the April 23rd meeting for their consideration.

• ZONING AND SALDO UPDATE

Carolyn Yeagle of Environmental Planning & Design provided the latest Internal Working Draft Zoning and SALDO revisions on Monday, March 26, 2018. A Joint Work Session has been scheduled between the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission members to review the latest Internal Working drafts on May 8th from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the Main Meeting Room.

Thematerials and methods used to finish such grading is sufficiently stable to sustain a slope of steeperthan 1:1; and 5.

Agriculture that a special day be set aside for planting of trees, and

Whereas, President Theodore Roosevelt, in 1907, issued an Arbor Day

Proclamation to School Children avowing that, “when you help to preserve

our forests or to plant new ones you are acting the part of good citizens,” and

Whereas, this holiday, called Arbor Day, has since grown into a global event

celebrating tree planting and care, and

Whereas, the citizens of Ferguson Township are the custodians of many

thousands of trees of a variety of species, which increase property values,

enhance the economic vitality of business areas, and beautify the

community, and

Whereas, Ferguson Township recognizes that trees are a source of joy and

spiritual renewal.

Now, therefore, the Ferguson Township Board of Supervisors does hereby

proclaim Saturday, April 28, 2017 to be Ferguson Township Arbor Day and

urges all citizens to celebrate and support efforts to protect trees and

woodlands in our community.
