The bad news is that we are to experience record-breaking low temperatures tonight.

 The good news is that we’re thinking of warmer weather and planning our upcoming Backyard Tourist VIP Tour for May or June of this year! 

 Once again, the Susquehanna River Valley Visitors Bureau will be your host for a fun-filled tour of the Susquehanna River Valley where you have nothing to do but relax and enjoy being a backyard tourist.  We live and work in such an awesome region that we want you to see it from the tourist’s perspective and realize why we love our jobs so much.  Once on the tour bus, Visitors Bureau staff will be your tour guides for a day filled with discovery, great food and new friends.
In preparing for our upcoming tour, we wanted to see what dates you may be available so we can maximize attendance.  Please access the hotlink below where you can review the suggested dates and let us know what dates you will be free.

RIVERSIDE BOROUGH COUNCIL

2/4/2015

0 Comments

 
As approved at the 2/2/15 Meeting, the minutes of January 19, 2015 follow:
                                                         RIVERSIDE BOROUGH COUNCIL

 

The Riverside Borough Council met on Monday, January 19, 2015 in the Riverside Municipal Building, 301 Dewart Street, Riverside, PA.  The meeting was called to order promptly at 7:00 pm by President John Novak.  Council Members in attendance were Barb Kriner, John LaMotte, John Domanski, and Lori Steele.  Council Member Caressa Compton joined the meeting at 7:10 pm.  Mayor Joseph Oberdorf and Secretary Deborah Bausch were also present this evening.  Missing from this meeting was Vice President Peter Fleming. 

 

Robin Steimling and Jenny Wagner addressed the Council regarding the Young Lungs at Play Resolution for the Riverside park areas.  They showed signs that would be posted at the recreational areas in the Borough indicating they are Smoke Free areas.  Enforcement is voluntary compliance by the residents.

Lori Steele made a Motion to go forward with the adoption of the Resolution; motion seconded by John Domanski and approved by all members.  Sample Resolution will be received by the Secretary and sent to our solicitor for review.

 

Megan Fitzpatrick and Emily Heath of Girl Scout Troop 60399 then took the floor to request input for a Girl Scout Silver Award Project.  Megan’s mother, Laurie Fitzpatrick, was with the girls and stated she had thought about a bathroom for the park; however that would have been too big an undertaking.  Silver Award requires 50 hours of community service.  Secretary Bausch had suggested a new Welcome to Riverside brochure and Laurie Fitzpatrick stated her husband has computer expertise and an online version could be done.   Council members shared several other thoughts and invited the girls to return on February 2nd and see what options the council members have come up with for them.  They have one year to complete their project.

 

Others in the audience this evening were Carolyn Bausch and Rebecca Steckley.  Carolyn stated she was just there to observe.

 

Rebecca Steckley then addressed Council in her request to take over as tax collector for the Borough Of Riverside due to Tom Summer’s resignation.   She currently works for the Danville Area Earned Income Tax Office but will be retiring; she is a resident of the borough and wants to be tax collector for the long term.  Motion was made by Lori Steele to appoint Rebecca Steckley as Tax Collector; Seconded by John LaMotte.  John Domanski abstained from voting; he had not read the other letters of applicants as his computer is down.  Motion passed and Beckie will be filling the position.

 

Minutes of the January 5, 2015 meeting were reviewed and approved on a Motion by Caressa Compton; seconded by John LaMotte.  All voted in favor.

 Appointment of Sewage Enforcement Officer James Sanders and Alternate Officer Kenneth Young were approved on a Motion by John LaMotte and seconded by Barb Kriner.  SEO fees were previously approved at the meeting of December 8, 2014.  Motion approved by all present.

John Domanski then asked Council if the second meeting of the month was a necessity.
  Discussion followed on this topic.  Secretary will contact Solicitor to see protocol to cancel a meeting if there is nothing on the agenda for that evening.    John Domanski also inquired about reorganization but was told it happens on even numbered years; next one to be January 2016.


The Danville Sewer Bill was reviewed for payment.  Approval to pay the amount due was approved on a Motion by John LaMotte and seconded by Lori Steele.  All voted in favor and Motion passed.

At 7:45 pm, John LaMotte made a Motion to adjourn the Regular Council session and enter into an Executive Session.  Motion seconded by Barb Kriner; Council adjourned.

John Domanski made a Motion at 8:00 pm to adjourn the Executive Session and return to the Regular Council Meeting; Barb Kriner seconded the Motion.  Council resumed the Regular Session.

Mayor Joe Oberdorf
provided information on the upcoming purchase of a new Police Car.  Council will review for next council meeting on March 2nd.   Car must be ordered by March 8th to get the listed prices.


On a Motion by John Domanski, Council voted to make a one year Police Chief Contract for Kerry Parkes; Motion seconded by Caressa Compton.
   All approved the vote.


Barb Kriner then gave some information to Council members about Southside Fire Company possibly being considered an Emergency Shelter.  At this time, St Peter’s Church is the EMA noted Shelter.  It will be approximately $20,000 to get the area prepared to be used as a Shelter.   They are reaching out to Council for assistance.  Caressa Compton suggested checking into possible grants that could offset the costs involved.   Barb Kriner was asked to have the Fire Company put a proposal on paper to submit to Council.

The Council meeting adjourned on a Motion by Lori Steele at 8:10 pm.  John Domanski seconded the motion; Council Meeting was adjourned.

Next council meeting will be Monday, February 2, 2015 at 7:00 pm.

Respectfully Submitted:
Deborah Bausch Secretary

PPL NOTICE REGARDING LIHEAP

2/4/2015

0 Comments

 
Help spread the word about LIHEAP

Friends

I'm asking you to help us spread the word about LIHEAP.

Formally known as the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, it is a federally-funded program that helps pay the home energy bills of PPL Electric Utilities customers who meet income-eligibility requirements.

We want customers who fall within income limits to apply. The bitter cold, aka the polar vortex, has stayed away for the most part so far this winter. But that doesn't mean there aren't folks out there who couldn't use this help and it doesn't mean arctic air won't decide to visit for a while.

We've been reaching out about LIHEAP. So far this winter, our customers have received $3.72 million in LIHEAP grants, up 21 percent over the same period last year. We're glad to get help to those who need it. Getting help with energy bills means a limited income can go further. And that's a good thing.

LIHEAP is administered by the PA Department of Human Services.  Folks don't have to receive public assistance to qualify and don't even have to have an unpaid heating bill. Plus, it doesn't matter if they own or rent their home.

LIHEAP funds are grants that don't have to be repaid. In addition to energy bills, they can be used for heating emergencies such as a broken furnace.

Visit www.pplelectric.com/liheap today to find out more. And thanks for helping us spread the LIHEAP word!

Sincerely,
Teri MacBride
PPL Electric Utilities
Regional Affairs Director
