Dallas Borough wrestles with county 911 snags By JENNIFER JUDGE Post Correspondent DALLAS BOROUGH - Dallas Borough Council members dis- cussed plans to remedy problems that are occurring with the county 911 system. Borough Manager Milton Lutsey said residents still aren't sure who to call with non- emergencies. Council discussed the possibility of having magnets or stickers printed with the cor- rect phone numbers to mail to each household in the borough. Council president William Rob- erts suggested that the project of hand delivering the police infor- mation tags could be given to a willing Boy Scout troop. “They could hit the streets and get it done in a day,” he said. Council member Charles Kane volunteered to look into finding a willing troop. Council member Theodore Wright raised another 911 issue. “Residents need to tell 911 opera- tors that they are from Dallas Borough,” he said at the meeting. “Were getting 10 to 12 minute delays. Something needs to be done before somebody dies.” Council hopes to address this concern along with the non-emer- gency police number situation. Also during the meeting, coun” cil voted to enter into PennDOT’s Agility Program. Lutsey explained how the program works. The bor- ough does things to help out PennDOT, for example, cutting weeds on roadsides and fixing signs. The borough earns points for completing these activities and in exchange, PennDOT will help the borough. Lutsey explained that the borough had already been helping out PennDOT, but that this is the first time a points sys- tem will have been instituted. «; Douglas Wolfe was hired as.a part-time police officer. In other police department news, police chief Fowler aniiounced that the borough will once again partici- pate in the Halloween Bag pro- gram as a part of their DARE and Kids Care programs. Dallas Bor- ough police officers will talk ‘to children about safety and pass out Halloween bags with flyers and coloring books. Council announced that leaf and limb pick up in the'borough will be restricted to Tuesdays. ,We're asking residents to be re- sponsible,” Roberts said. “We can’t take a whole tree.” Council asked residents to restrict their refuse to just leaves and limbs. School bond refinancing will save $176,000 By KYLIE SHAFFERKOETTER Post Staff DALLAS - Taking advantage of low interest rates, the Dallas School District is refinancing two bonds that will result in saving the district $175,872. PNC Capital Markets utilized new interest rates for a 1996 and 1993 bond issues. The former had an interest rate of 5.26 per- cent and was replaced with a 4.75 percent rate. ' The latter average interest rate was 5.5 percent and was replaced with a 4.5 percent rate. The $7.9 million 1996 bond issuewas for the Gerald J. Wyeallis ~ Elementary School and the 1993 bond issue of $3 million, was re- newed from a 1979 bond issue for high school renovations. The bulk of the 1996 savings of $105,500 will be issued to the district in one lump sum to be used for capital purposes. “The district will then get $3,000 per year in incremental payments,” said Ray Lowery, PNC Capital Markets managing director at a ‘school board meeting held Au- gust 20. In order to comply with certain provisions of the I.R.S. Tax Code, “the 1996 refunding is ‘partial’ in that the maturities from 1999 to and including a portion of the 2002 maturity were not refunded,” states a PNC Capital Markets memo to the school board. The refund must be kept under $5 million. Lowery gave credit to the board and administration for having good municipal credit and main- taining low bond insurance pre- miums. “You have the lowest (premiums) I've seen in 16 years. You all should be commended for that,” Lowery told the board. Lowery said he will continue to watch the market for opportuni- ties to refinance current bonds. Bufalino for Recorder of Deeds member.
