The Allegheny County Legislature on Aug. 13 approved a resolution authorizing the county Department of Health to apply to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program funds. Legislator Burdick made the motion, which was seconded by Legislator Rickett Swails; the measure passed on a roll call of 14 ayes, 1 absent.

The resolution was offered by the Human Services and Ways and Means Committees and had committee approval. The roll call recorded support from all present legislators; the clerk announced "fourteen ayes, 1 absent" before the chair declared the resolution approved.

The transcript records no extended floor discussion about the grant terms, application amount, or implementation timeline during the public meeting. No questions about funding sources or program details were included in the recorded discussion. The resolution text on the meeting desk (not part of the transcript) was presented as the basis for the vote.

Because the motion authorized submission of a grant application, further steps—such as award acceptance, contract execution, or program implementation—would be contingent on HUD’s notice of award and subsequent board action, none of which were taken at this meeting.

The Legislature approved the resolution by roll call; no amendments or defections were recorded.
