The Riverside Borough Council met on Monday, April 21, 2014 at the Municipal Building, 301 Dewart Street, Riverside, PA.  Due to the absence of President John Novak, the meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm by Vice President Peter Fleming. Council members present were Barb Kriner, Lori Steele, Caressa Compton and John LaMotte.  Mayor Joseph Oberdorf and Secretary Deborah Bausch were in attendance.  Absent this evening in addition to President Novak was council member John Domanski.

In the Audience tonight was Carolyn Bausch.  She stated she was very satisfied with the meeting held recently regarding the work to be done on the Rt 54 railroad crossing.  It will only be 3 days and she is not unhappy with that at all.

This topic led to a lengthy discussion about police coverage while the work is in progress in June.  Mayor Oberdorf will work with the police department to provide best coverage we can.

Minutes of April 7, 2014 meeting were reviewed and approved on a Motion by Lori Steele and seconded by Barb Kriner.  All voted in favor of approval.

Discussion was held regarding appointing Chad Betts as an IT consultant for borough computer equipment.  Chad has stated he will charge $25.00 per hour for his time to work on computers.  This was approved on a Motion by Caressa Compton and seconded by Barb Kriner.  All voted in favor.

Mayor Oberdorf then provided a printout from the speed machine which showed multiple data including number of vehicles and the speed ranges they were traveling.  Replacement batteries for the machine were once again brought up and it was noted this topic has been tabled for further research.

John LaMotte then stated he was sharing a message from John Domanski who could not make the meeting this evening.  A meeting is being held on April 30 with UGI representatives at 2 pm.  The meeting place was not known but will contact John Domanski for that information if interested in attending.

At 7:25 pm, John LaMotte made a Motion to Adjourn the meeting; this was seconded by Caressa Compton.

Next meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 5, 2014 at 7:00 pm.

Respectfully submitted: 

Deborah Bausch, Secretary
