Message from Michael Heaberg -Outgoing Chairman of the Board of Supervisors

The start of a new year is a time of reflection and also a time to turn our attention to the future.

As we reach the end of 2015, our Township is in excellent shape. Led by a skilled and hard-working senior staff, our 102 employees execute on a daily basis, committed to providing for public safety, a sound

infrastructure, and the amenities our residents value. Planning and business development within Tredyffrin is a top staff priority, understanding that a vibrant local economy provides our residents with jobs, demand for our homes, attractive dining and shopping, and revenue to the Township.

The finances of the Township are exemplary. Our residents often hear mention of our Aaa bond rating. It is similar to a person's credit score. As a practical matter, Tredyffrin's top rating allows us to borrow money at very low interest rates, saving our taxpayers significant interest costs every year. Furthermore, our bond rating is a "report card" on the strength of our local economy and the Township's prudent financial management, including its tax structure, cash reserves, and modest debt. Among 2500+ municipalities in Pennsylvania, Tredyffrin is the only one with a Aaa-rated Township, School District, and County!

Understanding that the role of our local government is l imited, one of our community's distinguishing qualities is our

volunteerism. We have literally thousands of residents that give generously of their time, talent, and treasure in service to others. It is the "glue" that binds us together - our fire companies, youth sports organizations, places of worship, PTOs, Scout troops, booster clubs, Libraries, Township volunteers, T&E Care, FLITE, ARCH, Surrey Services…. These groups and many others fill a role in making Tredyffrin a community built on working together with our neighbors for the common good.

On a personal note, as I end my service on the Board of Supervisors, I would like to thank the Township's residents for giving me the chance to serve you. It has been an honor. Looking at our successful past and bright future, I am confident that Tredyffrin will continue to be one of the great places in America to live and work. Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2016!

Message from the Township Engineer2015 was a very busy year for the Township and for the Engineering Department. In addition to the D e p a r t m e n t ' s e v e r y d a y responsibilities to e n h a n c e t h e health, safety and welfare for the T o w n s h i p b y

providing economical, responsive and effective professional engineering services, there were also many comprehensive projects under the purview of the Department this year.

Tredyffrin Township was the proud recipient of the 33rd Annual Road and Bridge Safety Improvement Award (Roadway category), presented at the 93rd Annual Educational Conference of the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors for the road and intersection improvement project as a short-term measure to address congestion and safety issues on Route 252 between Central Avenue and Route 30. The project, a partnership effort between PennDOT and Tredyffrin Township, was 100% federally funded and included the fol lowing improvements:

· shifting the northbound lanes on Route 252 south of Route 30 to align them with the lanes north of Route 30 to improve sight distance;

· modifying the signal phasing to add left turn arrows on Route 252;

· adding a turn lane on Route 252

southbound at its intersection with Maple Avenue, along with pavement markings, restriping, and curb revisions on Maple Avenue to improve vehicle turning movements;

· adding pavement markings and signage on Route 252 north of the bridge to designate a formal lane merger, plus new sidewalks, pavement, drainage, striping, and delineators under the bridge;

· adding pedestrian enhancements, such as new sidewalks and crosswalks, ADA-compliant ramps, and brick sidewalk inlays;

· installing an adaptive signal system to respond to traffic volume and flow; and

· installing emergency pre-emption traffic signal technology and vehicle detectors at the intersection of Routes 252 & 30.

In June, 2015, the Township Engineering Department completed sanitary sewer relocation work on the Trout Run sewer line on Walker Road and adjacent to the bridge, ahead of the County's current bridge replacement project. In July 2015, Chester County began a project to replace the bridge over Trout Creek on Walker Road. In preparation for that project, Tredyffrin Township needed to relocate a sanitary sewer line adjacent to the bridge, a project which began on Ju ly 14 , 2015 and took approximately two weeks to complete. Shortly after the Township's sewer relocation project, the County started the bridge replacement project. Chester County contracted with Haines and Kibblehouse, Inc., to reconstruct the Walker Road Bridge over Trout Creek. During construction, Walker Road will be closed between Anthony Wayne Drive and West Valley Road; with expected completion in August 2016. Questions

regarding the bridge project may be directed to the Chester County Bridge Consultant, Sandy Martin with McCormick Taylor, at 610-640-3500.

In addition, the Township Engineering Department completed several local bridge i n s p e c t i o n s , a n d b e g a n a rehabilitation/maintenance project on the Chesterbrook Boulevard Bridge in December 2015 which is expected to be completed by April 2016.

Throughout 2015, the Township worked with a consultant, CH2MHill, and PADEP, etc., on final design, permitting, bidding, and awarded for the planned Wilson Road Force Main (WRFM) Relining Project. This project will inspect and reline the WRFM between the Wilson Road Pump Station (WRPS) and Valley Forge Sewer Authority (VFSA) Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP), a length of approximately 3.5 miles, in 2016. Work is expected to begin in January and continue through the summer of 2016.

Finally, the Township Engineering Department advertised and subsequently, on December 29, 2015, received Request for Qualifications (RFQ) packages from engineering bridge design consultants for the Howellville Road Bridge Replacement project. Staff will be evaluating submittals and expects to recommend consultant to the Board of Supervisors in February/March 2016. The project will begin with design in May 2016 and involves preliminary and final design, permitting, and construction. The bridge replacement is expected to be completed before 2019.

New Library Director

Christopher (Chris) Kibler joined Tredyffrin Township to fill the open Library Director position on Tuesday, January 5, 2016. Chris was officially appointed Library Director at the Tredyffrin Township Board of Supervisors meeting held November 16, 2015.

As the Head of Access Services at La Salle Univers i ty 's Connel ly L ibrary, Chr is administered all circulation operations; oversaw many public service policies and procedures; led, trained, supervised, and eva luated n ine fu l l - t ime s taf f and approximately twenty student workers; and was the primary developer for and administrator of the library's website. In addition to his library roles at Connelly, Chris also taught a writing course at La Salle.

Chris has been (and in some cases still is)

involved in a number of projects involving digital library resources and systems. When he first started at La Salle, he administered the borrowing in the Pennsylvania Academic Library Consortium (PALCI) and, although the service was consolidated into the interlibrary loan operations in 2002, his department still worked closely with the interlibrary loan librarian in managing borrowing. In 2004, he developed an electronic reserve system that used bibliographic and item records in the integrated library system to link to files in an authenticated directory on the University's server. In 2009, he worked with the Media and Digital Services Librarian to establish LaSalle's current campus repository. Chris coordinated the setup for the library's collections and uploaded the initial content into this system. In 2010, he facilitated a metadata import to establish the current CONTENTdm collections. Two years ago, he completed the redesign of the main library website using WordPress and the Special Collections website using Omeka, which is the current home for a digital collection that he coordinated with Vietnam War scholar Hugo Keesing that features (mostly) 45 rpm records about or related to the Vietnam War.

In 2014, he served on the library's strategic planning committee, which worked with an outside consultant to develop the library's first strategic plan to address the changing service and resource needs of an academic community; how to maintain print and

electronic collections despite rising costs; and how to meet the evolving learning goals of a University.

Chris chaired the Digital and Electronic Resources Committee which was tasked with determining how to implement the goals outlined in their strategic plan. Over the years, Chris handled the budget and financial responsibility for the University Library.

Chris earned his Master of Business Administration from LaSalle University; his Master of Library and Information Science from SUNY Buffalo; and his Bachelor of Fine Art from Rochester Institute of Technology. Chris is a current member of American Library Association, Association of College and Research Libraries (Delaware Valley Chapter), and ACRL Delaware Val ley Chapter (Newsletter Editor & Board Member). He has been a member of the Connelly Library Strategic Planning Committee, Connelly Library Digital and Electronic Resources Committee, LaSalle University Portal Steering Committee, Interlibrary Loan Librarian Search Committee (Chair), Connelly Library Building Repurposing Ad Hoc Committee, Audio-Visual/Digital Services Librarian Search Committee, Cataloging/Systems Librarian Search Committee, and the LaSalle University Intellectual Property Committee.

Chris currently lives in Philadelphia with his wife and 2 ½ year old daughter.

Giving Back Toward Ending Hunger

On Saturday, October 17, 2015, members of the Chester County Chiefs of Police Association and the Chester County Fraternal Order of Police were honored to participate in a program to end regional hunger. The program, called "Be a Part of Feeding Thousands", was organized and hosted by Saint Luke Evangelical Lutheran Church in Devon.

Participants from numerous area organizations assisted in packaging meals, loading boxes, and other duties in a product ion l ine format. Groups worked in one hour segments, keeping pace to ensure all needed meals were packed. During the day, church representatives announced the number of packed meals in the tens of thousands. Meals, as reported by organizers, will be utilized regionally to assist children and adults in need.

Chester County Law Enforcement applauds the work of the staff at Saint Luke Evangelical Lutheran Church and the selfless donations of time from all of the participants who assisted. We were glad to be a part of this great event!

Citizens' Police Academy

The Tredyffrin Township Police Department is thproud to announce the completion of the 15

Annual Citizens' Police Academy. On November 24, 2015, area residents who attended the ten week course obtained certificates during a graduation ceremony held at the Police Department.

The Citizens' Police Academy program was created to give people from the community a close up view into how the Tredyffrin Police Department functions and the vast array of services it provides. Attendees are provided the opportunity to come to the department once a week and learn about topics such as

patrol tactics, criminal investigations, DUI and drug related crimes, domestic violence, and SWAT operations. In addition, they have the privilege to hear presentations from the Chester County District Attorney's Office, Chester County Department of Emergency Services, Radnor Fire Company, and a gun safety course presented by NRA instructor and international shooting champion, Mike Alexander.

One of the key functions of the Community Policing and Crime Prevention Unit is to unite the public with the Police Department to reduce crime and reinforce the importance of

community involvement. The Citizens' Police Academy is a great way to accomplish just that. By design, the course connects members of the community with those of the Police Department. This close-up exposure with one another allows information to be passed back and forth in such a way that promotes mutual understanding. This is a very important concept that keeps the Police Department in tune with the people it serves every day. We at the Tredyffrin Police Department congratulate

th the 15 Annual Citizens' Police Academy graduates and wish them success in all their future endeavors.

Commemorative Plaque ProgramIt is well-known that Tredyffrin Township has an abundance of magnificent historical resources - so many (it seems) that we often take them for granted and forget how truly unique a place Tredyffrin is! In an effort to promote and preserve these unique resources, the Tredyffrin Township Historical Commission (TTHC) has developed an official, commemorative plaque program.

Applications (which are available on-line and at the Township Building) are to be completed by the property owner, who will bear the cost to manufacture and maintain the plaque. The markers are cast in bronze and measure approximately 10"x7". Two plaque styles, using the same basic design template, are available:

Standard plaques include the Tredyffrin Township Logo, Historical Property heading, and Tredyffr in Township Historical Commission moniker.

Customized plaques allow the applicant to include (up to) an additional 3 lines of text (23 characters per line) for resource-specific information, such as the building's date of construction and historical information, i.e., building's name, original owner, builder, architect, and/or claim to fame.

Any resource within the Township that meets the following criteria is eligible for inclusion in the program:

1. The property was constructed during or before 1945 (unless special circumstances exist that are determined by the TTHC), well-maintained and may possess one or

more of the following additional criteria:

a. Historical Significance: A place which is or has been the site of a significant local, state or national event or has contributed to the civic, social or polit ical history of Tredyffrin Township.

b. Architectural Significance: A place that retains substantial historic fabric and configuration so that it expresses its original design.

2. The property appears to be in original condition or retains the overall integrity/character of the original design.

3. Any exterior renovation work that is currently in progress must be completed prior to approval/installation.

All applications will be reviewed by the Historical Commission, using the information supplied by the applicant, as well as the v a r i o u s s t u d i e s t h e To w n s h i p h a s commissioned over the years. A full list of these studies is available on the Township's website.

Please note that this is a strictly voluntary program, administered by the Historical Commission. The program is not related to any Township ordinances and does not place any restrictions or limitations on your property.

Together we can celebrate the historic character of your home and our Township!

Snow & Ice Removal

As I write this, winter has just started and it's looking to be unseasonably warm this year. However, when winter is in full swing and it's time to take up that dreaded task of snow shoveling and ice scraping, Tredyffrin Township's regulations are quite clear on residents' and business owners' responsibilities for snow and ice removal. Please read on…

Where snow and ice are removed from the pathway, snow or ice shall not be piled or placed in the gutter, in any stormwater sewer inlet, or obstructing any fire hydrant.

Snow and ice removed from sidewalks, driveways and other private property shall not be deposited, shoveled, pushed, thrown or

Hillside Elementary Donates to Tredyffrin Township'sFoundation for Parks and RecreationAt the end of last school year, Hillside Elementary donated $625 to Tredyffrin Township's Foundation for Parks and Recreation. The Fourth Grade Class voted on which charity it would like the annual proceeds from the Hillside School Store to be donated to, and the Foundation was selected. As a thank you, the Foundation will install a plaque on a tree in Wilson Farm Park commemorating the Hillside Elementary School Fourth Grade Class of 2015!

The Foundation works closely with Township management, the Park & Recreation Board, and the Board of Supervisors to provide financial support and direction for needed improvements within the Township's parks and open space, and to ensure continued funding for community and recreational activities. The Foundation serves to enhance Tredyffrin Township's beautiful and active

parks, open space, pedestrian trails, and recreational/cultural activities for the community. Additionally, the Foundation

thfunds the Township's 4 of July fireworks, the Summer Concert Series in Wilson Farm Park, and the Winter Recreation program at Valley

Forge Elementary School. The Foundation exists solely on donations, so, if you are able to help, please visit the Foundation website at www.tredyffrinparksfoundation.org.

The trustees who volunteer their time and energy for Foundation activities and events include President Joe Barks, Vice President Jim Reilly, Secretary Bill Richter, Treasurer Fred Leibowitz, and Trustees Kristin Becket, Erik Karlsson, Kurt Misialek, Peter Murphy, Dan Newhall, Phil Reitnour, Scott Repke, and Jim Zdancewicz. The Foundation is interested in hearing from anyone who has an interest in Tredyffrin Parks and Recreation to fill additional openings on our Board of Trustees.

Forever Jenkins Endowment Campaign

Preserving a Garden Sanctuaryand Living Museum

Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens of Devon is one of eastern Pennsylvania's major horticultural and environmental assets. It preserves and nurtures 48 acres of Chester County's rapidly disappearing natural terrain, sited on a ridge above the historic and once agriculturally rich "great valley" with Valley Forge National Historic Park to the northern horizon.

With a tall tree layer and multi-layered shrub understory, the Arboretum provides the community with a tranquil oasis for the enjoyment of all. Further, the Arboretum ensures the integrity and conservation of over 10,000 plants in our living collections with rigorous museum and scientific standards in labeling, mapping, and database record-keeping.

Fulfilling a VisionSince opening in 1976, the Arboretum has been built on Mr. Jenkins' intention to honor his wife, Elisabeth and celebrate her life.

ENDOW AN ACRE TAKE A STAKEENDOW AN ACRE

What part of Jenkins' mission is most important to you?

Our Goal

is the theme of our Forever Jenkins Campaign for Endowment. Endowing an acre will allow each donor to secure the future of this remarkable botanical garden.

The goal of the Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens Forever Jenkins Campaign for Endowment is to build the endowment so that it can serve as the Arboretum's major source of financial security in perpetuity. Your gift will help Jenkins achieve that goal.

Preserving a Garden Sanctuary and Living MuseumShowcasing Unique Botanical CollectionsPromoting Environmental Stewardship

No matter your choice, this is your opportunity to participate in protecting this treasured community resource for generations to come.

Our Goal is to grow our endowment to $20,000,000 by 2020. We have designed a funding concept for ENDOW AN ACRE that will allow everyone to participate in this endowment campaign in a way that is meaningful to that person. The progress of the Forever Jenkins Endowment Campaign will be charted by a map in the lobby that will become greener and greener as acres are endowed and by moveable signage in the gardens measuring the endowment growth with tangible visual markers.

Dog Training - How can I get my dog to walk into doggy daycare calmly?

- Marissa, BerwynHi Marissa!An eager and excited dog is something we sometimes see here at Perfect Pooch! While we love that your dog can’t wait to play, we understand that it can be frustrating for you to be dragged in by your dog. Your dog’s excitement to be at daycare begins way before you pull into the parking lot. In fact, it probably begins before you leave the house, even at the mere sight of your dog’s leash. The beginning of the excited behavior chain is where you need to start breaking down the series of behaviors. Here are some helpful tips to keep your dog calm while entering daycare:

Start at the beginning.Work on your dog calmly sitting for the leash, calmly getting in and out of the car, and calmly walking beside you all individually. Don’t link these tasks together, or your dog will associate seeing the leash with going to daycare.Don’t allow the behavior to keep happening.If you take your dog to daycare regularly, he/she has learned that the sooner you get inside, the sooner playtime starts. The practice of pulling you in has been repeated and reinforced with the reward of playing. Give yourself enough time to get into the daycare doors slowly and assertively.

Bring a tasty treat with you.Using the lure of meat or cheese treats will help your dog focus on you more than getting inside. Ask your dog for any calm behavior that you are reasonably sure will be completed, such as “sit.” Take a few steps toward the doors, repeat the request and then reward with the treat. Take another few steps and keep repeating and rewarding.

Continue rewarding even when you’re through the doors.Once you are inside the daycare and your dog is accepting your treats, you can ask for one final sit as a staff member takes your dog by the leash. Release the sit with a happy “OK” and let your dog be led away to fun. Over time, you can add more duration between treats. Thank you for your excellent question! For more help with leash walking or other behavioral issues, we have various training options that are sure to fit both you and your dog’s needs!
