Council introduces ordinance for South Park Boxing use and resolution for West Penn Allegheny financing; both referred to committees
Summary
Council introduced Ordinance 13634‑25 authorizing South Park Boxing Inc. to use county property in South Park and read a financing resolution (13635‑25) for West Penn Allegheny Foundation LLC, up to $55 million in tax‑exempt notes; both items were referred to committees for review.
Allegheny County Council introduced two items of new business: an ordinance authorizing South Park Boxing Incorporated to continue using county property in South Park, and a resolution approving a financing project for West Penn Allegheny Foundation LLC. Both items were read into the record and referred to committees for further review; no final votes were taken on either item.
The ordinance (agenda item 13634‑25) would authorize South Park Boxing Incorporated to continue using county property at "100 acres drive" in South Park to conduct organized boxing and fitness training. The clerk read the ordinance and the item was placed on the Committee on Parks for consideration; no further action was taken at the meeting.
The resolution (agenda item 13635‑25) would approve a project benefiting West Penn Allegheny Foundation LLC, with West Penn Allegheny Health System Incorporated named as the sole corporate member, to be financed by the Allegheny County Hospital Development Authority by issuing tax‑exempt notes in one or more series in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $55,000,000. The resolution text, read into the record, explicitly states that "the taxing power of the county of Allegheny, Pennsylvania shall not be obligated in any way with respect to the notes" and declares the financing "desirable for the health, safety, and welfare" of people served by the financed facilities. That resolution was referred to the Committee on Economic Development and Job Creation.
No committee reports or votes on these items occurred during the meeting. The items will return to council after committee review per usual procedure.
