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.

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.

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.

Next council meeting will be Monday, February 2, 2015 at 7:00 pm. Respectfully Submitted: Deborah Bausch Secretary 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 |
