 PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT

DECEMBER 2007

 Signs at 4th and 61 have been repaired. 

The crew is currently working on repainting the first floor hallway in the Municipal Center as time allows.

 During the ice storm the crew was cindering and plowing streets. 

The intersections were cleared of snow and ice. 

In the beginning of the month, leaves were collected at the parks. 

The crew has been trying to obtain parts to work on the pump at the pool filter room. 

The tractors were serviced. 

The backhoe door was in need of some repairs and these were accomplished

 Benches and picnic tables were received and we unloaded them.

 A leaking service line was repaired at 130 N. 5th Street. 

A ¾” service line was repaired at 604 S. 7th Street. 

A ½” service line was repaired on Raymond Avenue. 

Two fire hydrants were rebuilt – Poplar and Crescent and Chestnut and Wyndcliffe.

Water/Wastewater Superintendent’s Report  

Water

            We are back on surface water. In the beginning of the month we were looking at well levels and trigger points for water conservation measures and the dam is now full and overflowing.  A few days of heavy rain completed a turnaround in the water supply and the springs and streams feeding the dam are running very strong.  We started the plant on the 17th and 18th.  There were a few glitches in the first 2 weeks but things have settled down and the plant is working well.

            We conducted a system wide leak survey locating several leaking services, 2 leaking mains, and 4 leaking hydrants.  All have been repaired and flows from the water plant have dropped accordingly. 

            We are now reporting Safe Drinking Water Act parameters to PaDEP electronically.  We have had problems in the past with reports not being recorded by PaDEP in a timely manner resulting in violations for our system.  This should solve that as they are posted as they are entered.

            PaDEP and USEPA are requiring extensive testing for disinfection by-products.  Based on past testing we have applied for a waiver of the tests.  I expect that to be granted without a problem.

 Wastewater

            The construction, for all intents and purposes, is complete. Final walk through was done on the 17th with just a few issues to be resolved. All systems are up and running and the plant is performing well.    

            We still have issues with inflow and infiltration. Flows, due to above average rainfall, are also above normal and take longer than they should to drop off.  While this doesn’t cause problems as in the past it is still an expense to treat and may in the future limit available capacity.

                                                                                     Respectfully Submitted                               

                                                                                    Keith L. Brobst

                                                                                    Water/Wastewater Superintendent

 

OFFICE MANAGER’S REPORT - DECEMBER 2007

 Due to the significant upgrade to our software, everyone has been muddling through with the changes and there have been glitches.  We worked throughout the month on a daily basis working the bugs out and finding other issues that needed to be addressed.  I hope in the next month that everything will be ironed out.

 Quarter and year end reports have been completed and we are working on finishing up the processes to close out 2007. 

The office has been fielding calls regarding the new Local Services Tax or what used to be the Emergency Services Tax.  We have been directing them to Berks EIT, however, we have also answered some of their questions directly.

 The web site has been updated with the new hours for Council and the Committees.  Various other information was also updated.

 The municipal access channel also was updated with new information.

 Other information has been updated for 2008. 

Payroll quarterly reports, end of year information and new information for 2008 was entered into the computer.  Various memos and documentation was distributed to the employees. 

Attended two Council meetings and staff meetings as necessary.  Minutes were prepared for all the meetings.   

 Respectfully submitted,

Kim Y. Berger
Office Manager

RECREATION DIRECTORS REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER 2007  

The months of November and December continued with various meetings.  The most important dealt with the hiring of employees for the pool for 2008.

 Letters and applications were sent out to all previous employees of 2007 in December and new applications were received.  Interviews were conducted for new and former employees on December 27, 2007.    Most of the summer 2007 employees have reapplied.  We were very fortunate to receive a number of new applicants for food stand and a couple for lifeguard positions. Lynda, Bill and I were very pleased with the amount of applicants and the quality that was revealed in the interviews.  We are thinking about establishing a substitute list for food stand workers to try to maintain a good staff for the 2009 season.  We plan to mail letters of acceptance by the end of February.   

 Based on the state inspectors recommendation, we must upgrade the heating system for the showers and concession stand within the next two years.  Allen Schaeffer, plumber, and I have discussed a more efficient on-demand heating system.  The discussion was tabled until spring when Allen plans to bring in a consultant to determine the best method to resolve the problem. 

With the conclusion of the first year, important experience has been gained.  Using this experience, Bill and I hope to make the 2008 season more productive.

 

            Respectfully submitted,

            Guy Ketch               William Nabozny
