Summary
Council approved donations, street closures for car cruises, and community-market scheduling; during public comment residents from Ohio Avenue raised concerns about juveniles vandalizing properties.
Council approved a $150 donation to the Mon Valley Backpack Drive and agreed to close Eighth Street (from Monongahela Avenue to Allegheny Avenue) on June 30, July 28 and August 25 from noon to 4:00 p.m. for mini car cruises.
Council President Anthony Colecchi announced the Giant Eagle Mobile Market is awaiting final state permits and, if approved, will visit Glassport weekly on Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. He also announced a fishing contest scheduled for Sunday, July 14 from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., and a planned blood drive for Jasiah Jones at the borough building on July 1 (the transcript lists the year as 2023; the meeting date is 2024).
During public comment, Cheryl Maurice requested benches on main street for pedestrians; Michael Thomas provided attorney documents about residential rental license fees from another borough for council review; and a group of residents from the 400 block of Ohio Avenue raised concerns about juveniles vandalizing properties and causing destruction in the neighborhood. John Carlo Lies asked about permitting requirements to renovate 716 Delaware Avenue and whether partnerships were available for renovations. Rosemary Bradley gave up her time to allow the Ohio Avenue residents additional speaking time.
