Mayor Greaslock and council members praised the department’s year‑long work. Council said the department’s winning entry was a compilation—stopped at the award program’s 20‑minute limit—highlighting 2024 coverage that included reporting on the convention center, municipal meetings, live events, the opening of pickleball courts and reopening the gateway project. The mayor noted previous winners include Takoma Park, Md.; Shelby Township, Mich.; Carmel, Ind.; and Fairfax County, Va.

Jared Robinson accepted the award in Boston and said the department’s work is supported by two full‑time staff and five part‑time staff, municipal departments and the community. Robinson was quoted in the meeting saying, “these things are already happening in Monroeville; we just show up, press record to capture it, then put it out for the world to see.” The communications department will post the winning entry on the municipality’s YouTube page.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Municipality of Monroeville Regular Council Meeting - July 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The municipality recognized Director of Communications Jared Robinson and his staff for winning the Alliance for Community Media’s Hometown Media Award for overall excellence in governmental access.","taxTitle","Monroeville, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania","taxId",68520,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6175042,"Monroeville council votes to advertise ordinance updating civil service rules",20,714000,734000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5362581-275d9b89dc1eb7efadb440cdbbc476cb&start=714&end=734","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5362581-275d9b89dc1eb7efadb440cdbbc476cb/thumbnail_714000.jpg","/articles/6175042/Monroeville/Allegheny-County/Pennsylvania/Monroeville-council-votes-to-advertise-ordinance-updating-civil-service-rules","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6175042-7d056be6b4cb4e2a0b6ef5f36899f363/orig.mp4?Expires=1775871283&Signature=AGDr9D3q2npaNzuhMyaEZ0Exdnq5vv2quKy~GCa3~I6Xfd-ccGHQcqNUCCYi1sAEc1wlXOyfFE2mQjEYqG7OhAhv2WnL-8sR~dUmJ7RghLSD00ADjp-jUjZy4Pmcj38TWfrJHq8xkt8aTQd7-i6rhwDssNXtGSULJlEukx1EARge1y2vX7qxzJhbE0WtfpBt3y2Y0HP4hmQoOUNCH4Ce9F46b6V6ekDfE2BDQlWJbqCoaQMaX-acqzOKsMPlESsc5vwI76Tv-ERInWm2eN2cAQ0cxhKrskKXw2y8pw7om8iqUqhbI2RvlDEAGlsu7IrAdggNQpebgh3kPu1ZIe7FVw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Monroeville, Pa. — The Monroeville Council on July 8 authorized advertisement of an ordinance to adopt amended and updated civil service rules and regulations.

Council voted to advertise a hearing set for Aug. 7 to consider the draft five-year CIP. Assistant Manager Doctor Lang and council members said the draft does not include bond financing for the coming year and reflects a conservative approach focused on immediate capital needs. Council indicated staff would hold smaller follow-up sessions with council members and that the manager would schedule further agenda meetings prior to finalization.

During the public-comment period, resident Lois Drumhouse praised the communications department's YouTube presentations and urged broader notice across Monroeville wards so more residents can review the CIP materials before the hearing. She also urged renovation and potential relocation discussions for the municipal public-works site at StarDrive, saying she believes the StarDrive location could better serve public works and MS4 functions than alternatives cited in previous presentations.

Resident Alyssa Beck asked whether the communications department could document the community process around what she described as a “half‑billion‑dollar” redevelopment at Monroeville Mall and invited council members and staff to a citizen-organized meeting on Friday, July 18 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to discuss the mall redevelopment. Council members said Cypress Equities, the private purchaser of the mall property, had expressed interest in community meetings but that no formal applications or development plans had been submitted to the municipality at the time of the meeting.

Mayor Greaslock said the municipality would help facilitate community meetings when Cypress Equities is ready, but reiterated that the mall property is private and that no applications had been filed with the municipality. The council’s action to advertise the CIP hearing begins the formal public-notice process for the five-year plan.","Council authorized advertisement of a public hearing for the proposed five-year capital improvements program on Aug. 7; public commenters asked for broader outreach on the CIP and urged dialogue with developer Cypress Equities about Monroeville Mall plans.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6175052,"Council approves conditional use for vehicle-repair garage at 2530 Monroeville Boulevard",71,607000,678000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5362581-275d9b89dc1eb7efadb440cdbbc476cb&start=607&end=678","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5362581-275d9b89dc1eb7efadb440cdbbc476cb/thumbnail_607000.jpg","/articles/6175052/Monroeville/Allegheny-County/Pennsylvania/Council-approves-conditional-use-for-vehicle-repair-garage-at-2530-Monroeville-Boulevard","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6175052-afbee777d9e5ad27f54eb827325244b1/orig.mp4?Expires=1775871283&Signature=VO8wZk1xSt~Ju7bfSCoOPZuXDVmuFvE56AQ6ZqaHbfXYqf95Q6qvpJ417QBU5~0fbZGrbx0F0bFu8037lpFyr8oTV-eoYiNV4-Rty~4HTdmQva~V~hZEBg4GuKJUCozdQMyuK-arzGHah6ONBzhaU5Hhf85n2-WNo5g1ffz6ABqh9kkmdsYeGm1aHQE42S3rAnFBJdMjNq0kC97L3nG0b-Vmjt3kTNQlmjGdWUg50H0NT1egbhunRVIao-qEz1sCi5aPrbZYeUI5-a-PKRSNxu8rJDi7XBcrLyQKBRe2sUCWFIVNnpW61Kco-Mbl-8J6TA6Jx7HF-KEj1eTHX~c-YQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Monroeville, Pa. — The Monroeville Council on July 8 approved a conditional use permit to permit vehicle service and repair operations at 2530 Monroeville Boulevard.

Council called for a motion, received a second and approved the conditional use by roll call. The clerk announced the ayes had it.

Planning staff told the council the applicant was seeking preliminary and final subdivision approval under Monroeville Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance No. 2525 to split Tax Parcel 638 J 090 into two lots. The presentation said the newly created Lot 1 would be combined with Tax Parcel 068 for a total of about 3.218 acres and proposed Lot 2 would total about 3.161 acres. The properties are in R-2 (Single/Multi-family) and S (Conservancy) zoning districts.

Counsel for the municipality reported that discussions with the applicant's attorney, Mike Silvestri, identified a sewer easement whose exact metes and bounds had not yet been finalized by the municipal authority. Counsel said the authority was preparing a legal description but did not have it ready for the meeting. To avoid later reapproval or amendment of the plan, the council accepted a request to table the item until the next monthly meeting so the authority can provide the easement description.

The council withdrew the pending motion to approve and then voted to table the application; roll call showed unanimous ayes. No substantive debate on the merits of the subdivision occurred at the meeting because the missing easement information was presented as a prerequisite to action.

The plan will return to the council after the municipal authority supplies the sewer-easement legal description to be incorporated into the recorded plan.","The Municipality of Monroeville tabled preliminary and final subdivision approval for James and Sigrid Hawkins' property on July 8 after staff learned a municipal sewer easement lacked a final legal description needed for the plan.","actionData","errors"]
