Changes to Emergency Medical Services (EMS) On July 14, 2014, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Township Manager to enter into an agreement with the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) to provide Emergency Medical Services (EMS) for the Township. This change, which is expected to occur in the fall, means that HUP will provide ambulance and emergency medical services, although residents should not notice any change in the quality or level of services they receive. Residents should continue to call 9-1-1 for all medical emergencies. This change relates only to emergency medical services; the fire prevention and firefighting efforts of our Township Fire Companies will not change. Because we are contracting with HUP, the Llanerch and Manoa Fire and EMS Companies, which had provided EMS services for many years, will no longer do so. On behalf of Llanerch and Manoa Fire an EMS Companies, and the Township, we want to thank the many dedicated members and volunteers who have faithfully served our community for more than 60 years. This decision was the result of months of study, and will, we anticipate, provide enhanced services at lower cost to residents. Over the past few months, the Township reached out to local health care entities throughout in an effort to form the alliances necessary to continue to provide excellent care in a cost-efficient and progressive manner. This resulted in the decision

to consolidate our services with HUP, the premier healthcare provider in the region, and an entity that has worked with the Township for years. Manoa Fire Company Ambulance started the first Ambulance Service in Haverford Township in April 1945, and Llanerch Fire Company joined the effort a few years later. These Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulances have assisted our residents and guests during their times of greatest need. Additionally, many excellent physicians, nurses, paramedics, EMTs, and other health care professionals have started their careers with experience and training provided by these BLS ambulance services.

equipment expenses, as well as costs for initial training, vehicles, maintenance, medical supplies, fuel, and insurance, have impacted our services as well as other EMS services across the nation. Additionally, the sting of lower insurance returns, and the cost of assisting uninsured, and underinsured patients, has had an effect on our ability to continue services at the level that our neighbors, friends, and families deserve. All of these factors led to this decision.

Please be assured that our efforts are patient-focused, fiscally responsible, and continue to be performed with our collective families and friends in mind. We will We hope to continue to be in the keep you informed as this program forefront of emergency medical develops. care. In 1976, the Township of Haverford employed paramedics Sincerely, and started one of Delaware County's first Advanced Life Larry Gentile, Manager Support (ALS) Units to increase the Haverford Township level of care, reduce response times, Tony Kneafsey, President and save additional lives. Over the last few decades, the volume of calls Manoa Fire Company in our Township has increased Carole Lieblein, President significantly as has the severity and Llanerch Fire Company intensity. All along, our EMS programs have grown, adapted, and met the challenge, while frequently being the first units to incorporate new therapies and patient care technologies into the pre-hospital environment. During this same period, our BLS ambulances saw a decrease in volunteers, leading to the increasing reliance on career staff to insure responses. In addition, the increasing cost of mandatory

A Note from the Township Manager Greetings, Resident:

Although we are well into 2014, we wish each of you the best through the remainder of the year. This past winter posed some very challenging issues for the start of the year between the lingering impacts of a slow economy and the record winter storms of late 2013 and early 2014. The heavy costs of the large amount of road salt and overtime impacted our budget projections. Considerable road maintenance continues as a result of these winter storms. Managing these efforts has been challenging and I wanted to acknowledge the hardworking Public Works crews and Director, Richard Dougherty, for keeping the roads and storm lines clear through the season while managing the daily operations of the department.

I would like to share some news regarding our new Trash/Recycling/Yard Waste Calendar. The decision to change the Township's Trash/Yard Waste/Recycling calendar was made only after months of evaluation and data collection gathered from our Trash/Yard Waste/Recycling Reports. Unfortunately, we have been seeing a dramatic decline in the Recycling & Yard Waste tonnage collections, resulting in an increase in trash disposal fees at the County-run incinerator. The result of our evaluation of these data collection reports clearly shows that residents are not participating in these two very important, cost- and environmentsaving collection programs. If we had continued on this course, higher trash fees for the Township would absolutely necessitate higher taxes for the community. However, after just one month since we changed our collection process, we have already seen a dramatic increase in residential participation with the Yard Waste Collections and a reduction in trash stream by 197 tons. If this trend continues, we will see a $72,000 savings each year and keep large

amounts of carbon emissions from being pumped into the atmosphere. While the primary purpose for implementing this new schedule for waste collection is to reduce cost, we also hope the effects of the schedule change gets every homeowner to rethink what is trash and what is recyclable, which may help improve recycling. We have recently developed an informational video that is aired on the local government cable channel and is available for view on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=6WXk1MLm_Yg As always, the Board of Commissioners and administrative staff are here to assist you. If at any time you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Have a safe and enjoyable fall and winter!

Sincerely, Larry Gentile Township Manager

Haverford Music Festival Returns for Fourth Year r be m e pt th e S 6 Beatlemania Now and Chico's Vibe Headline Full Day of Family Fun Haverford Music Festival (HMF) 2014, presented by GIANT, is set for Saturday, September 6. Featuring live music from local and regional musicians, this family-oriented event will run from noon to 9:30 p.m., with over 30 performers on four stages near the intersection of Eagle and Darby Roads in Havertown. Area businesses and food vendors will fill booths along Darby Road and Hathaway Lane. There will be food booths, beer gardens, a moon bounce and other children's activities and much more fun for the whole family.Admission is free. To mark the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' U.S. debut, HMF 2014 is pleased to present Beatlemania Now, featuring incredible notefor-note renditions of classics from throughout the Fab Four's entire career, including songs the Beatles themselves never performed outside of Abbey Road Studios. Adding authenticity, the musicians play the samemodel instruments that the Beatles used and dress the way they did, both during their touring years and the later, psychedelic era. Also appearing this year is Chico's Vibe, a

nine-piece orchestra whose musical stylings span all decades and genres, from Etta James and Chicago to Billy Joel and the Black Eyed Peas. Along with their wide range of music, "The Vibe" offers sensational showmanship. Members have toured and recorded with some of the biggest artists in the music industry, such as Beyonc茅, Aretha Franklin and the Temptations. Additional HMF 2014 performers, representing a wide range of musical genres will be announced during August. "The HMF committee members are excited about the festival's fourth year and actively working on getting performers to entertain both young and old," says committee chair Ernesto Betancourt. "Our number-one plan is to make sure the festival is a fun and entertaining day for the entire family." Organized by the Haverford Township Civic Council, all proceeds from the HMF support special township projects. To date, more than $30,000 has been distributed among several worthy community organizations, including Haverford High School's Jazz Residency Program, the Grange Estate's outdoor amphitheater, Haverford Township's Adult

School and Music Works, a township nonprofit program that seeks to bring music therapy to children, seniors and all individuals in the Delaware Valley. The friends of Haverford Trails, Haverford Township's Dog Park and Kelly Music for Life have also benefited from the festival proceeds. "The festival is a lot of fun to put on, but we rely on help from volunteers for a few hours here or there throughout the day in order for it to succeed," adds Mr. Betancourt. "Anyone interested in volunteering will find a choice of options, such stage and booth set up, take down, clean-up or band hospitality at haverfordmusicfestival.org. Your help will be greatly appreciated!" The site also presents pictures and videos from previous years and provides registration forms for sponsors, vendors and volunteers as well as an application form for musicians who would like to perform. As Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band would say, "A splendid time is guaranteed for all" at Haverford Music Festival 2014. " We hope you will enjoy the show!"

West Nile Virus The season brings with it an unwelcome visitor which continues through the fall. Mosquitoes can bite at any time of day or night, but are most active at dawn and dusk. When outdoors, people can avoid mosquito bites by properly and consistently using DEETcontaining insect repellents and covering exposed skin with lightweight clothing. To keep mosquitoes from entering a home, make sure window and door screens are in place and are in good condition. Because the elderly and people with impaired immune systems are at highest risk of developing severe WNV illness, they should be especially careful about mosquito exposure. The mosquitoes that transmit WNV breed in areas with standing and stagnant water, such as urban catch basins, clogged gutters, discarded tires, poorly maintained swimming pools, flower pots and plastic containers.

Simple steps to eliminate standing water around the home include: Remove tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots, discarded tires or any object that could collect standing water. Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers left outdoors. Have roof gutters cleaned every year, particularly if the leaves from nearby trees have a tendency to clog the drains. Turn over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows when not in use. Do not let water stagnate in birdbaths. Aerate ornamental pools, or stock them with fish. Clean and chlorinate swimming pools, and remove standing water from pool covers. Use landscaping to eliminate standing water that collects on your property. Treat standing water that cannot be eliminated with Bti products which are sold at outdoor supply, home improvement and other stores. Bti is a natural product that kills mosquito larvae, but is safe for people, pets, aquatic life and plants.

Protecting Our Streams To have healthy streams, it is important to take good care of the lands around them. Stream Stormwater is this country's number one water quality problem. As it flows across the ground, stormwater picks up nutrients, bacteria, sediment, oil, and other pollutants and carries them to the local stream. As a watershed becomes built up and paved over, the amount of water that runs off the land during and following storms increases. Increased amounts of stormwater can worsen stream erosion and flood damages. By decreasing groundwater levels, greater amounts of stormwater also worsen droughts. All properties can be enhanced to prevent stormwater runoff and protect the watershed. First protect existing trees and shrubs along streams and throughout your property. If a tree along your stream bank is in danger of falling, have it removed by a qualified expert, leaving the stump and roots in place so they can continue to provide stability to the bank. Also, plant a new tree to replace the removed tree. Protect vegetated, undeveloped land next to a stream. These lands are known as riparian, or streamside, buffers. By protecting existing riparian buffers and planting new buffers, you can help minimize flood damages, encourage infiltration of stormwater, slow stream flow during storms, improve instream conditions for aquatic life, filter out pollutants, and protect against non-natural erosion. Riparian forests are the most beneficial types of buffers.

Why plant and protect streamside trees? A mature tree can reduce stormwater runoff by over 300 gallons, absorb over 120 pounds of air pollution annually, decrease heating and energy costs by 8 to 12%, and increase the value of your home 10 to 15%.

Do your part to protect your watershed and stream for future generations. You can beautify and protect your property, defend clean drinking water, reduce flooding and drought, and help wildlife with simple actions.

10 Ways You Can Protect Watersheds and Local Streams 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Plant native plants. Avoid and control non-native invasive plants. Increase your garden area and decrease your mowing area. Raise your mower to cut at a height of 3 inches. Recycle your yard waste and use it as mulch. Avoid bare soil.

Use less fertilizer. Avoid using pesticides. Manage stormwater using rain barrels, by planting a rain garden, directing runoff into vegetated areas, and other best management practices. 10. Bag pet waste. 7. 8. 9.

Leaf Reminder Township residents are reminded to place leaves at the curbside and not in the street. Violations will be treated as a public nuisance and will subject the property owner to a maximum fine of $1,000.00. Leaves placed in the street cause stormwater inlets to be blocked, can be ignited by cars with hot engines and become slippery when wet. Leaves may not be placed at curbside after leaf pick-up. If you use a lawn service to remove leaves and miss your scheduled pick-up, the lawn service must haul leaves away to a proper dumpsite.

Haverford 100 Rain Gardens Update The Haverford Environmental Advisory Committee's (EAC) "100 Rain Gardens in 10 Years Initiative" to help our waterways and reduce flooding in our community and downstream towns just got a big boost. Haverford Township was the recipient of two recent grant awards that will help promote green stormwater management in the Township. These will help pay for at least two new rain gardens on public land as well as training, materials, and native plants for residents interested in constructing rain gardens at home. To view a video of a similar effort in Ambler, PA, click on www.stormwaterpa.org/raingarden.

Build a Rain Garden: To support Rain Gardens and responsible Storm Water Management in Haverford Township and enhance our environment and quality of life, sign up to help build or nominate your home or a nearby public space for a Rain Garden. Look for details soon on the Haverford EAC web page or send an "I Want Rain Gardens" email (NSchmidt@HAVTWP.ORG) to get on our informational email distribution list now. Let us know if you may want to build one at your home, know of a flood prone area or public park that can use rain gardens or want to help with planning and building rain gardens. (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QAZOcR91QLnZjh6YaTS-CAWYgbXc6psF1FQkdB7n9p0/viewform?usp=send_form) Adopt a Rain Garden: Your business can sponsor a rain garden by contributing to the cost of materials for construction or adopt its maintenance and you can place a tasteful sponsorship sign at the garden.

Do You Have Flood Insurance? Do you have sewer backup/flood insurance? IMPORTANT INSURANCE COVERAGE NOTICE/REMINDER Township residents must be aware that they should review their homeowner's, flood and sewer backup insurance coverage with their agent/insurance companies in order to properly protect their personal residence - probably the most valuable tangible asset that we all have. Article I, Section 149-3, subsection C (2) Sewer Service Regulations of the Township Code states that all sewer service laterals from the Township's sewer, regardless of location, are the property of the customer and/or owner and shall be maintained by him in good condition and repair. Please pay particular attention to the following coverages: Coverage for Sewers, Drains and Sump Pumps: This valuable coverage is not included under your standard homeowner's policy but can be purchased by endorsement for an additional premium. The Township is not responsible for damages caused by sewers, drains and sump pumps except under limited/special circumstances provided by the PA Municipal Immunity laws. Flood Coverage: Flood coverage is not included under your homeowner's policy. However, flood insurance is available under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and can be obtained through your insurance agent or broker.

The Township does not provide flood insurance.

Code Enforcement Message Before you enter into a contract for home improvements, did you know? Home improvement contractors are required to be registered with the Commonwealth of PA. A home improvement contract is required to bear the current PA license number of the contractor. Check the amount of the general liability insurance provided by the contractor and make sure that he has workers compensation insurance for all workers to avoid claims against your homeowners insurance policy. Your contractors must complete the permit application, provide a copy of the executed contract and include building and plot plans as required. Permits are required for all Electric, Plumbing, Heating and Air conditioning and most Construction work. Please call us if you are not sure if a permit is needed (610) 446-1000 ext. 2270. For Your Protection, please do not allow work to begin before the required permits are obtained.

MUNICIPAL SERVICES BUILDING STUDY As you may know, the Board of Commissioners is considering a number of different alternatives for the long-term use and maintenance of Township-owned facilities. Several studies have been commissioned and a comprehensive summary, resident questions and study team responses, together with the content of the initial Request for Qualifications from a Design Team have been added to the township's website for public inspection and consideration. You can access this summary at our website www.haverfordtownship.org and search the terms "RFQ" and/or "Municipal Facilities Study Presentation". The Board of Commissioners tentatively plans a vote on the new/renovated facilities at their regularly scheduled public meeting o f M o n d a y , S e p te m b e r 8 . http://www.haverfordtownship.co m/egov/documents/1401803337_6 3485.pdf
