[Reliance Road] is a far worse intersection, probably deserving of a signal just by sheer numbers of use. It's a sharp bend. There's a number of accidents there. So it's problem. |
[We want to] have the most current numbers prepared based on the most current market data. |
All in all, it's becoming a very positive study. |
All of our capital projects for the most part we tie to grants. The borough historically has always tried to finance capital projects through leveraging grants. |
It was made abundantly clear that the general public is not in support of tax revenues to pay for the pool facility, which is exactly the philosophy of this board. |
It's sort of a pilot project that we're doing. We had used oil and chip applications back in the 1980s and sort of got away from it because it can be a nuisance to the residents. It's a little messy. But the price between that and typical paving is significantly cheaper. |
That would all be part of the next step. The borough may or the borough may not go out and do any type of borrowing. That may be all on the operator. Maybe we find out that the borough isn't in any way shape or form involved in the borrowing. [But those details are] all way to premature for this step of the project. |
That's 10 percent. So it's not all that bad. |
The borough is willing to allocate some tax monies to go through these various studies. [Borough council members have indicated] while it's very possible that we may end up getting out of the pool business altogether, it just seems to be a step backwards and really not desirable. They're trying to figure out a way to keep the service, but on the other hand, get it out of the general fund. |
The earliest we could possibly be bidding and constructing that signal would be at some point next year, in 2007. |
The reason for the motion is council wants it documented in the budget for auditing reasons. |
The survey information was quite mixed over the degree of programs that they would like to see. At the last meeting, I think there was some concern there wasn't enough detail on what else would be in that building and how that building would operate. |
This is a very preliminary feasibility study and this is the very first step in the process. |
We didn't receive any complaints from the residents. That sort of led the committee into saying, maybe we ought to give it a try. |
We don't want to detour Main Street. We want to keep that open. |
