Council approves presenting American Legion ball-field agreement and OKs easement at 104 East High Street
Summary
Council authorized presenting a proposed agreement to the American Legion concerning purchase/transfer of ball fields into the borough parks system and approved an easement at 104 East High Street requiring the borough to install a catch basin and the property owner to install a connecting pipe to a PennDOT basin.
Council approved moving forward on two property-related items: presenting an agreement to the American Legion regarding purchase of the American Legion ball fields and approving an easement with a property at 104 East High Street.
Solicitor Wachter is completing an agreement to transfer the American Legion ball field into the borough parks system; Councilor Steadman moved and Councilor Osborn seconded a motion to present the proposed agreement to the American Legion for their review, and the motion carried unanimously. Wells told council the borough would cover any closing costs if needed and that funding for acquisition would come from outside sources and a private donor.
On the easement at 104 East High Street, Solicitor Wachter drafted an agreement in which the borough will install and supply a catch basin while the property owner will provide and install a 60-foot pipe connecting to a PennDOT basin and will maintain a ditch to Bentley Run. Council approved the easement (motion by Councilor Osborn; seconded by Councilor Joyce). The minutes record that the borough will maintain the pipe and two catch basins once installed.
