OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
Dear Neighbors
A s we enter into 2018 I hope this letter finds you and your loved ones well. I want to start by personally
thanking you for the trust that you have bestowed upon me.
Although I’m not a life-long resident, the Phoenixville community occupies an extraordinary place in
my heart. Since my arrival, I have committed myself to serving our community through a variety of roles
including President of the Pennsylvania Jaycees, Vice-President of the Phoenixville Jaycees Foundation,
Chairman of the Phoenixville Regional Chamber of Commerce Ambassador Committee, Board Member of
the Phoenixville Senior Center, Director of Giving for both Hugh O’Brian-PA East Leadership Seminar and
for the Headstrong Foundation, and is the Alumni Advisor to the Stetson University Student Government
Association.
For the past 14 years I have been actively involved in advocacy and have been lobbying for social change around education and public
health. I’m currently a recognized volunteer partner of the United Nations Foundation Nothing But Nets Initiative and often spend time
working with Members of Congress and Senators on the global eradication of Malaria and raising awareness about international health
concerns and their impact on the American people.
I am now honored to commit myself to serving you and the Phoenixville community.
In recent years, Phoenixville has experienced an unprecedented level of growth in commerce and new residents.
Phoenixville owes its existence and vitality to generations of people, from all geographies and walks of life who contributed their hopes,
dreams, and energy to shaping the strong foundation of mutual understanding and respect that our residents have come to enjoy.
What brought me to Phoenixville is that we are so much more than a home or place to conduct business, we are a community. A
community that truly cares about each of its citizens.
I want to personally invite each of you to join me and be involved in our community. Phoenixville’s success requires each of us to
serve in whatever way we can. Please know that all of your elected officials are here to serve you, but we need your input to guide our
borough’s future.
Phoenixville’s strength may no longer be measured in steel or in size, but it is measured in the spirit of our people.
Yours In Service,
Mayor Peter J. Urscheler
“A remarkable and memorable 10 year life journey. Thank you, Phoenixville”.
Irealized early on in life that I am not a perfect man. Ten years ago when I ventured into the political arena
my realization was confirmed. With that confirmation came an enlightenment. A diverse community shares
the same heart. We have our faults, our strengths and our desire to be part of a community. I like to think that I
achieved a respected and active acceptance in our diverse community.
I thank everyone who has supported, tolerated, encouraged, challenged, advised and trusted in me on my
political journey. I would only say this journey’s political meaning... Phoenixville is a family. I am so happy to be
a member of the family.
Going from an insider looking out to an outsider looking in so to speak, I see in our Phoenixville political community one man who’s
message transcends all barriers, delivered with a passion that is so ever true. The Honorable Peter Urscheler is so much more than our
Mayor. He is a man of strong principles and values. To meet him, know him, to hear him speak on issues, you know he embodies the
Phoenixville spirit of community. I am so very proud to call him my friend, my Mayor and a man for all people.
Semper Fi, Mayor Urscheler. Semper Fi, my Phoenixville family. Thank you.

PHOENIXVILLE BEAUTIFICATION ADVISORY COMMISSION (BAC)
“ Mighty oaks from little acorns grow.” – 14th C. Proverb
A nd flash ahead a mere 700 years, and it only took the Beautification Advisory Commission (BAC) less
than 5 years from the earliest seeds of the idea to unify the community aesthetic to the potent force
that has put Phoenixville on the map for its community art, its popular public plantings and holiday décor and
its ongoing recognition of those who champion community beauty through its Citizens’ Beautification Award.
The BAC membership spans a wide range of interests and talents. For the Spring 2018 issue, we thought
it might be interesting to find out a little more about our members and what motivates them to continue to
work for the betterment of the community.
Dr. Lou Beccaria can be credited with planting the acorn that started the Beatification oak growing. In
his own words, “I am a devotee of community beauty. I approached Borough Council in early 2013 about Dr. Lou Beccaria
the idea of a BAC-type group to help make the Borough more aesthetically pleasing. I am engaged in this
effort as a personal citizen contribution and chair the effort with a great group of fellow citizens who share
a passion for the BAC mission, of promoting, enhancing, and sustaining the beautification of the Borough
of Phoenixville. We are proud of the accomplishments of the BAC’s work since its inception in 2013 and in
2018 we will be starting work on a new Master Plan that will take us into the 2021. Speaking for the BAC
group, we are appreciative of the Borough’s strong financial commitment for our efforts and are privileged to
be able to supplement these funds with others that we self-generate.”
Borough Council Liaison to the BAC, Edwin Soto reflected: “As Phoenixville Borough Council’s liaison, it
has been an absolute pleasure working with the BAC. The projects we collaborated on were highly visible to
the constituency of this borough. I consistently receive comments from our Utility Box Murals to our Planters.
I have even seen businesses create their own planters in an effort to participate. Clearly, beautification
is contagious! There are more under-the-hood projects that have gone unnoticed but really continue to Michael Hill
drive the BAC’s mission and commitment. This winter, while devastatingly cold, the BAC continues its
commitment by planning to recognize the community for its ongoing efforts, planning the Spring plantings,
and fostering new collaborations with local organizations. I had the distinct pleasure in being reappointed as
Council’s liaison and got right to work with Teresa Haag in scouting for new utility boxes for the next set of
murals! I really can’t wait to see what’s next.”
Original member, Eric Schmidt, who is also the proprietor of Colonial Gardens Nursery and Landscape
Supply, offers these thoughts on his involvement with the BAC: “The BAC has been a wonderful avenue
to contribute to the betterment of the Phoenixville community. Each member has brought a unique skill set
and the combination of talents has made it easier to accomplish our goals. Personally, the BAC allows me,
as a plant professional and businessman, to contribute to the design and execution of plantings in many of
the public spaces including the Phoenixville Library, the downtown planters, the Taylor Alley parking lot, the
mosaic mural by Andre Thorton Park and the planting in front of the PHOENIXVILLE mural at Freemont and
Dayton Streets on the Northside. It has always been my passion to be able to give back to the community Jeane McNamara
and make it a more beautiful place to live and I am thankful for the BAC team and the commitment of the
Borough of Phoenixville to make this happen. This year I am hoping to help on a design and planting by
the Phoenixville Historical Society building and another planting on the bank in Andre Thorton Park. The
planting and maintenance of the downtown planters present a fun challenge to create a constant beauty in
the downtown business district. It takes a committed team to make these things happen and I am thankful
to be part of one.”
Michael Hill a graphic designer and artist whose distinct talents and commitments has been a driving
force behind the BAC since its inception. Michael was a key part in launching the mural projects throughout
Phoenixville. Michael is the creator of the BAC logo and creates most of the print graphics for the BAC
projects. Michael wrote the original proposal for the utility box mural projects, and along with Teresa Haag
has seen the project through its initial two murals. Michael, along with Teresa and the other members of
Teresa Haag
the BAC hopes to have at least 5 additional utility box murals painted by artists throughout the Phoenixville
Community. Michael will continue to support the arts through additional murals and other artistic endeavors
in 2018. He will also be part of the Pocket Park initiative to be instituted throughout Phoenixville. One of
Michael’s dreams for the BAC would be to have a sculpture garden located somewhere in Phoenixville.
BAC Vice-Chair and original member, Jeane McNamara remarks: “I wasn’t sure what the BAC was when I was asked about
participating in April of 2013. But as we approach our 5th anniversary in April 2018, I see now that the sum is greater than the
parts. It has been a privilege to work with such a talented group of people who are so passionate about various aspects of the
beautification effort in town. From Teresa Haag and Michael Hill, who as artists literally create the beauty, to Shanlee Fisher and
Eric Schmidt, who work so diligently to integrate the natural beauty and landscaping of the various projects we do around the
Borough, to Christine Butterfield and Usha Neghandhi, who devote their energies to networking BAC causes and widening our
reach across the community, to our undaunted leader, Lou Beccaria, who really has championed this cause from its beginnings, and
his dedication and ability to bring consensus and build enthusiasm has borne the fruits of his labor. This is a uniquely dedicated
group of individuals and there is no doubt that the beautification effort in town would not be as far along as it is without the collective
energies of the BAC team.”

BEAUTIFICATION ADVISORY COMMISSION (BAC) continued from page 5
Some of the volunteers and artists who have joined us on this short but dynamic journey deserve recognition. Local artist and
designer, Cynthia Oswald, took a risk with this neophyte group and designed our first “PHOENIXVILLE” mural on the Northside.
Her bold concept of the phoenix image, woven into PHOENIXVILLE was the catalyst for subsequent murals from Teresa Haag,
like the “Welcome to Phoenixville” mural at Bridge and Starr Streets, her “View from the Northside” Mural which is housed
in Borough Hall and her most recent Installation “Gateway Pharmacy - 1960” at the intersection of Nutt Road and Gay Street.
These bold projects opened the way for the utility box mural project, which the BAC plans to grow from 2 to 7 in 2018. Clean up and
restoration projects in Reeves Park, spearheaded by Boy Scout Troop 58, led by J.D. Malone, Tim Pontin and Ralph Cockerham,
opened the gateway for the adopt-a-park, and pocket park initiatives, that will be the cornerstone of the 2018 BAC effort. The BAC’s
dedication to the maintenance and upkeep of the iron pot planters along the Bridge Street corridor led to a bold initiative to begin a
holiday decorating tradition along the flagpoles in town during the Christmas season, led by local business owner, Cameron Peters.
“All the flowers of tomorrow are the seeds we sow today,” goes the famous quote. Be part of the seed of the many beautiful things
that are happening in Phoenixville. The BAC meets each 2nd Monday of the month at Borough Hall at 6:30 pm. Please contact Lou
Beccaria at ljbeccaria@pchf.org if you have any questions or have an interest volunteering.

T he primary objective has always been to provide Phoenixville residents with the best and highest quality
police services possible. The Phoenixville Police values statement plaque, hanging on the wall in the
lobby entrance, lists professionalism as one of them. Accreditation equates the pinnacle of professionalism. This process would not come
to fruition without the fortitude and devotion of Chief Thomas Sjostrom, Lieutenant Brian Marshall, and Sergeant Joseph Nemic read a
release from the Phoenixville Police Department. According to inter-office communication written by Sjostrom, the acknowledgment of the
accreditation was the result of the recommendation of assessors who visited their department this past December. During the two day visit,
three assessors examined the Phoenixville Police Department’s policies and procedures as well as proofs of compliance.
There was clearly a moment of civic pride at the Phoenixville Borough Council meeting where it was first announced in 2014 that the
Phoenixville Police Department had received a Certificate of Law Enforcement Accreditation from the Pennsylvania Law Enforcement
Accreditation Commission (PLEAC). In January 2018, three members from PLEAC’s assessment team recommended re-accreditation status
to their board members. Sjostrom acknowledged the support of Borough Council and each and every member of the Police Department
whose efforts on a day-to-day basis ensure that the residents, businesses, and visitors to Phoenixville receive law enforcement services that
meet the highest standards established by our profession.
The purpose of the accreditation by PLEAC, an independent reviewing body, is to help maintain “the highest standards of professionalism,”
according to the organization’s website. According to the site, PLEAC assesses a police department’s procedures, policies and their officers.
Accreditation is a progressive and time-proven way of helping institutions
evaluate and improve their overall performance. The cornerstone of this
strategy lies in the endorsement of standards containing a clear statement of
professional objectives. Participating administrators then conduct a thorough
analysis to determine how existing operations can be adapted to meet
these objectives. When the procedures are in place, a team of independent
professionals is assigned to verify that all applicable standards have been
successfully implemented. The process culminates with a decision by an
authoritative body that the institution is worthy of accreditation.
According to Borough Manager Jean Krack, the accreditation status received
by our police department puts us heads and shoulders above other agencies.
This is the second accreditation assessment the department has completed
according to Phoenixville Police Chief Thomas Sjostrom. The accreditation
bestowed on a department runs for three years. Phoenixville Police department
was the second agency in Chester County to achieve this distinction. Left to Right: Chief Sjostrom, Assessor Dana Leonard
