West Deer supervisors approve grants inclusion, seize on equipment and appointments in April meeting
Summary
At its April 15 meeting the West Deer Board adopted resolutions to join county CDBG and a DUI grant, approved purchases and repairs, and made multiple Zoning Hearing Board appointments; several votes were unanimous and two saw supervisor abstentions for conflicts of interest.
The West Deer Township Board of Supervisors took a series of administrative and fiscal actions at its April 15 regular meeting, approving grant participation, routine purchases and equipment repairs, and making Zoning Hearing Board appointments.
The Board adopted Resolution No. 2026-05 agreeing to be included in the Allegheny County Community Development Block Grant and Home Investment Partnerships programs for program years 2027–2029. The Board also adopted Resolution No. 2026-06 authorizing the Township Manager to sign Pennsylvania DUI grant documentation. Both motions passed unanimously, 5-0.
On infrastructure and equipment, the Board approved the Finance Officer's report and authorized payment of the listed bills. Supervisors authorized the purchase of a new Exmark 72" zero-turn mower at Public Works' discretion not to exceed $17,764.00; they also awarded a front-loader arm renovation to Beehive Welding & Fabrication for $9,699.52.
Appointments were made to the Zoning Hearing Board: Jeff Matthews was appointed as an alternate member to fill an unexpired term through Dec. 31, 2030; Chad Dolby was appointed as a full member to complete a term expiring Dec. 31, 2026. Both appointments were unanimous.
The Board approved an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with G4 Development, LP related to the McIntyre Heights PRD, with Supervisor William Payne noting a personal/business conflict and abstaining; that vote carried 4-0-1. Similarly, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2026-07 (PA DEP sewage facilities planning module for the Heisler/Starz Plan of Lots) with Payne abstaining due to a conflict; motion carried 4-0-1.
Most actions were routine and administrative; when abstentions were declared supervisors identified conflicts on the record and recorded votes reflect those recusals. The meeting adjourned at 9:12 p.m.
