Ordinance Mr. Gitnik stated for the record that on Thursday, November 16th, an email No. 684 was sent by Ann Murphy to Township Engineer Benjamin Gilberti which provided a legal description, prepared by Redswing Group, for Maria's Way. On Wednesday, November 29th, an email was sent from Ann Murphy to the Township Engineer asking that the legal description reserve the oil and gas rights. Mr. Gitnik sent an email dated Thursday, November 30th to the Township Engineer indicating that in his legal opinion the developer may not reserve oil and gas rights, and there has been no reservation that the Township has ever made when there was a request for dedication of public improvements. On Thursday, January 18th, amongst other emails, there was an email to Attorney Murphy, who is legal counsel to Southersby Development Corporation, which clearly indicated that the Township would not accept any public dedication that had a reservation of oil and gas rights, for the reason of public health, safety and coordinating practical community development and convenience and general welfare of the Township of South Park's citizens. It further indicated that, in fact, any reservation of any right would not be in the best interest of the public health, safety, coordination of practical community development and convenience and general welfare of the Township of South Park's citizens. Mr. Gitnik stated that he has made multiple requests to Attorney Murphy to provide a copy of the Oil and Gas Lease, since they were requesting the reservation of the oil and gas rights. As of today's date, he has not been provided with a copy of the lease. Attorney Murphy had indicated to Mr. Gitnik that they would provide a copy of the lease to the Township upon receipt of the public record of the same, meaning that they had no lease recorded as of today's date. Mr. Gitnik explained that the reason he has not addressed the issue of the oil and gas reservation is because he is not in possession of the Oil and Gas Lease; therefore, he cannot share the document in order to make a decision whether the Township would want to make a reservation for the oil and gas rights. He stated that the current ordinance is like every other ordinance that we have done with any developer, and it does not have a reservation for the oil and gas rights.

Taking into consideration the comments stated by Mr. Gitnik, a motion was made by Mr. Sackinsky, seconded by Mr. Snee, to approve Ordinance No. 684: AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH PARK, ALLEGHENY COUNTY, COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, ACCEPTING THE PUBLIC DEDICATION OF MARIA'S WAY AS SHOWN ON THE DELLA STRADA PLAN OF LOTS AS RECORDED IN PLAN BOOK VOLUME 287, PAGE 58, IN THE DEPARTMENT OF REAL ESTATE FOR THE COUNTY OF ALLEGHENY, IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, AND THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM AS SET FORTH ON THE AS-BUILT PLANS, MAKING THE SAME PART OF THE HIGHWAY SYSTEM AND PUBLIC SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM OF THE TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH PARK.

Monthly MS4 Mrs. Fosbaugh stated that MS4 is an acronym for Municipal Separate Report Storm Sewer System. She explained that it is a series of mandates that have been going on for quite a number of years that South Park Township is required to comply with so that storm water that is coming through our creeks and streams is essentially cleaner and removed of the pollutants that are impacting both animal and human life.

1) The litter collection employee continues with his duties, although they are somewhat limited because of the weather. Litter on the streets impairs the catch basins and water cannot be directed properly.

2) The mapping of the outfalls to inlet connections will continue as soon as the weather permits. Mrs. Fosbaugh explained that outfalls are pipes that are draining fresh water into our creeks and streams. 3) The Public Works Department is continuing with inlet cleaning, which involves mainly snow and ice removal. At this time of year, it is important for the catch basins to remain open and clear so that storm water can adequately drain into the storm water system.

4) Approximately 200 vertical feet of stormwater inlets will be relined in the 2018 sanitary sewer project. Bids will be accepted on Wednesday, March 6, 2018, with action being taken at the regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors scheduled for March 12, 2018.

5) MS4 activities going forward into 2018 will be predicated in part upon the response received from DEP with regard to the Township's Pollution Reduction Plan (PRP). South Park Township was required to submit a PRP to DEP with various steps that we are taking to reduce pollution in our storm water. The Plan is under review at this time.

6) The second project under the auspices of CD 43 is underway. The project involves the relining of approximately 700 1. ft. of storm sewer line. The lining project has been partially completed; however, the work was delayed due to weather conditions. The lining process cannot be engaged unless temperatures are at a certain level. The project, which is in the vicinity of Grant Street, is scheduled to resume tomorrow. Community Development (CD) Funding is determined by the Federal Government through Allegheny County. South Park Township has applied for CD funding for approximately the last 30 years. With the exception of one year, we have been fortunate to receive funding.

7) A training plan for the Public Works Department will be drafted in 2018 that will incorporate routine safety tasks with the MS4 process.

8) The Township is awaiting the receipt of its new NPDES permit as the appropriate application and documentation has been submitted to DEP for review and comment.

9) The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania recently adopted the storm water management ordinance. The Township is in receipt of a cost-not-to-exceed proposal from the project engineer to update our ordinance to comply with the state requirements. We currently have a stormwater management ordinance; however, we have attended a number of workshops for the purpose of responding to questions posed by DEP and the Allegheny County Conservation District. The workshops helped to determine better ways that we can control, monitor, and keep storm water from becoming more polluted.

Motion by Mr. Sackinsky, seconded by Mr. Snee, to approve the Monthly MS4 Report. All members voted aye. Motion carried.
