REPORTS

Public Safety – State of the Prison Report (Warden Laura Williams)

V. Deshmukh introduced Warden Laura Williams from the George W. Hill Correctional Facility.

Warden Williams provided a state of the prison report. Additionally, Warden Williams introduced

newly appointed Delaware County Executive Director Barbara O’Malley who is responsible for

administration and management of departments of Delaware County government not directly

managed by County Council, and Chief Deputy Warden Adam Smith. Some highlights from

Warden Williams report included: the prison has a daily population of 1,266 individuals, it has had

two inspections from the Department of Corrections that rendered full compliance with no

deficiencies for the facilities; they have received a full accreditation from the National Commission

of Correctional Healthcare; staffing has improved significantly; programs have increased; there

have been successful audits and inspections from the Delaware County Office of the Controller,

Delaware County Health Department, PA Prison Society, Delaware County Coalition for Prison

Reform, and the Concord Township Fire Marshal. Out of the 67 PA counties, George W. Hill is

one of the two facilities that are currently in compliance with the federal recommendations from

the Department of Justice. Warden Williams shared that the prison is looking forward to several

County capital improvement projects to help with deferred maintenance to the prison. D. Pileggi

asked about the prison alert system and the absence of test communications. Warden Williams

informed that the prison will now be using the Delaware County Everbridge system a.k.a. Delco

Alert to send messages. She also informed of additional ways alert information would be sent out

(e.g. sirens and County EMS/911 calls). C. Morrone asked if it would be possible to get a test

alert. Warden Williams appreciated the recommendation and said she would have it arranged.

She advised that residents need to sign up for Delco Alert via the County website

(https://delcopa.gov/delcoalert/delcoalert.html) in order to receive the County Everbridge

messages. J. Crossan asked about a past prison program where inmates would make picnic

tables and wooden trash cans for parks, and wondered if there were any current programs. The

warden answered no and informed that lack of equipment and COVID have contributed to the

demise of these programs. She shared that the prison was hoping to establish a work

study/beautification effort in a partnership with the PA Horticultural Society in hopes to restore

some of the agricultural areas in the county.

Open Space, Trails & Recreation

J. Crossan provided the monthly Open Space, Trails & Recreation report. He shared that with the

help from the Chester Ridley Crum (CRC) Watersheds Association over 120 trees were recently

planted at several Township open space areas. Additionally, in a partnership with Darlington Arts

Center, a park beautification project of painting wooden trash cans took place at the Township

Park, and with help from the Garnet Valley Football Team, invasive plants were cut back. Mr.

Crossan also shared information on upcoming events including on June 1

National Trails Day,

there will be a hike through the First State National Park.

of a new pump station at Ridge Road and a pre-bid meeting for replacement work at the Robins

Way pump station. He also shared highlights from the Public Works report including mention of

the recent Recycling Day & Tree Giveaway event and recent filling of potholes within the township.

Additionally, Mr. Gillespie shared that although not a Township project, the much-needed paving

of Concord Road has been completed and the bridge on Smithbridge Road has been reopened.

businesses that have opened in the Township. The report has been made a part of the minutes.

easements for the Smithbridge Road Roundabout Project.

Township Engineer

N. Cline gave his Township Engineer Report. He shared the scope of the 2024 Road Program

which includes paving of Pennrose Tally, John Larkin Drive, Temple Road, Summit Avenue,

Peters Lane, Thatchers Circle, and curb improvements on Governor Markham Drive. He also

shared that in regard to the Beaver Valley pocket park, the submission to PennDOT for a path

and access to Ruby Road and the apartments has been completed and they are awaiting

PennDOT comments. He advised that the Schoolhouse Lane Right-Turn Deceleration Lane

Project would be starting any day now, and that there will be a brief detour using Cheyney Road

& Baltimore Pike that will be necessary for installation.

Township Manager

A. Serock commented that the Township is still involved in communications with SEPTA for the

Octoraro trail; Solicitor Donaghue is handing the legal side and Marc Morfei has been working

with SEPTA engineers regarding design. Additionally, she informed of a future postcard

communication that will go to residents informing them of communications opportunities, including

general information and emergency notifications. C. Morrone shared her delight of the new

Constant Contact e-newsletter and thanked staff member Lisa Waldron for assistance in getting

the new weekly e-newsletter going.

CITIZEN COMMENTS

C. Kocher (836 Concord Road) commented regarding the hearing for 871 Baltimore Pike, saying

that “if you want to manage it, buy it.” She shared her puzzlement with an advertisement looking

for an electrician who would teach various skills to inmates at Delaware County Prison, including

locksmithing. She shared her concerns regarding the Elections Return Board proceedings, a new

recount process, the selection of personnel for the process, and the oath of office to be taken

specifically for the task. She commented that she objected to the way it was currently being

handled but approval had been given for personnel to proceed. She provided information

regarding state law regarding counting. She also mentioned that there is no Returns Board

oversight of mail-in ballots. She asked Council members to put their effort towards getting these

things amended. D. Pileggi thanked Ms. Kocker for her efforts to help keep the election process

sacred.

grader at Concord Elementary school, commented that the

township could use more bike lanes and sidewalks. She asked what Council is doing to make the

township more “bike friendly.” D. Pileggi shared that when new plans come before Concord

Township, sidewalks and curbs are required. However, existing properties would only be required

to have sidewalks and curbs if they are developing. He also complemented Miss Shaik’s public

speaking. J. Crossan commented that sometimes sidewalks and bike lanes are difficult because

roads are very narrow. Additionally, some roads are state roads, for which Concord Township

doesn’t have control. He commented on the Trail Connector Feasibility Study, to be presented

later in the meeting, that will show possible ways to connect neighborhoods. V. Deshmukh also

thanked Miss Shaik for speaking up for children and grandparents.

C. Cuerden (212 Bethel Road) shared her concerns regarding the Garnet Valley School District

Pennington School Project and the relocation of the school district bus depot to Bethel Road. She

communicated that the school district had rescheduled the meetings to present and discuss the

project, moving the meetings to the daytime when many could not attend. She asked that the

School District presentation to the community at the Planning Commission meeting be postponed

and asked Council to request that the School District provide a real presentation for the public. N.

Cline commented that the school district presentation is currently on the agenda for the Planning

Commission’s May 20

meeting, which is also the same night as Garnet Valley School Board

meeting. He said they would reach out to both groups to let them know of the conflict.

No public comments were submitted via email.

Resources (DCNR) and explored by a steering committee which included Township residents,

the study was done to find ways to connect the First State National Park to different areas of the

Township via walking or biking. Following the presentation, J. Crossan questioned implementation

of identified phases of the study. N. Cline clarified the processes. Additionally, resident Bo Shen

(15 Martins Court) expressed his thoughts regarding safety concerns. He shared that his

neighborhood already has street parking issues and issues with acts of vandalism from those that

frequent the BYC fields. N. Cline explained that this is just a study with a request for public

feedback – no decisions were being made at this time. He also said they would reach out to BYC

regarding Mr. Shen’s comments regarding street parking. Mr. Shen also requested other

connector possibilities be explored on the main roads like a sidewalk along Shavertown Road.

After some continued discussion, Mr. Morfei shared that additional outreach to neighborhoods

and their HOAs will take place regarding the study. The study is available for viewing on the
