Council confirms appointments, approves medical examiner building purchase and amends capital budget
Summary
Council approved multiple appointments to county boards, confirmed Ed Bigley and Damian Wilds to county authorities, adopted a capital budget amendment and approved purchase of the building housing the county medical examiner.
Allegheny County Council on June 9 approved several nominations and routine budget and property measures. By roll call, the council confirmed Damian K. Wilds to the Independent Police Review Board (the roll call recorded 14 yes, 1 no) and Ed Bigley to the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority (15–0). Several other nominations were read into the record and referred to the committee on appointment review.
Council also adopted resolution 13957-26, which amends the county's 2025 capital budget; the budget and finance committee recommended the resolution and the roll-call vote was unanimous. Separately, council approved ordinance 13955-26 granting the county permission to purchase from the Buncher Company the building that houses the county medical examiner, following a positive recommendation from the committee on economic development; that ordinance passed by roll call 15–0.
During the appointments discussion members noted the interview process by the committee on appointment review and the committee's affirmative recommendation. On the Wilds appointment one member registered a no vote during the roll call; the record shows council approved the nomination by the stated tally. For the sanitary authority appointment, the vote was unanimous.
These measures were presented as committee-recommended items and passed under roll-call voting rules; no additional substantive debate or amendments were recorded on these items in the meeting transcript.
