Council approves redevelopment grants for storm sewer and pool renovations; ratifies monthly invoices
Summary
At its Sept. 8 meeting, Green Tree Borough Council authorized applications and accepted grant support for storm sewer and pool house renovation projects and ratified routine invoice payments. Council passed Resolution 1372 (Holiday Drive/Mansfield storm improvements, $500,000) and Resolution 1373 (pool house renovations, $445,000).
Green Tree Borough Council on Sept. 8 authorized borough staff to pursue two redevelopment grants and ratified routine invoice payments.
Storm sewer grant: Council approved Resolution 1372 authorizing the borough manager to execute documents with the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County to pursue a $500,000 grant for Holiday Drive and Mansfield Avenue storm‑sewer improvements. The resolution passed on a roll‑call vote with the following recorded yeas: Miss Demi, Mister Panza, Mister Ray, Miss Schwartz, Mister Tintore, Miss House and Miss Baron.
Pool house renovations: Council approved Resolution 1373 authorizing the borough manager to execute documents with the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County to pursue a $445,000 grant for Green Tree pool‑house renovations (Phase 2). Council members noted the borough previously received smaller grants totaling more than $100,000 for the pool project and that these grants are reimbursement grants. The resolution passed on roll call with all members voting yes: Miss Demi, Miss House, Mister Panza, Mister Ray, Mister Tintore, Miss Schwartz and Miss Baron.
Invoices and routine payments: Finance Committee chair moved and council ratified payments for August invoices, described at the meeting as: general fund $76,949.32; sanitary sewer $334.36; farmers market $431; payroll $257,489.37; educational service agency fund $621.27; and June credit card charges $5,959.93. Council also approved a second motion to pay September invoices, listed at the meeting as: general fund $208,809.57; storm sewer $12,811.62; sanitary sewer $50,326.77; capital projects $34,618.86; health care $363.02; and farmers market $913.50. Both routine payment motions were approved by voice vote; council discussion included questions about specific line items and an equipment purchase charged to a council member’s card that was later reimbursed.
No ordinance adoptions or contract awards requiring additional public‑hearing steps were recorded at the meeting. The redevelop‑authority grants are reimbursement grants that will require future project spending consistent with grant terms before the borough can be reimbursed.
