Summary
At its Jan. 21 meeting, Glassport Borough Council adopted Ordinances 1233 and 1234, approved a resolution and an MOU with Teamsters Local No. 205, authorized a contract extension for the chief of police (one abstention), and approved December payments totaling about $1.45 million.
Glassport Borough Council met Jan. 21 and approved a series of personnel, administrative and budget actions, including adoption of two ordinances, several resolutions and payment of December bills totaling roughly $1.45 million.
Ordinances and resolutions: Council adopted Ordinance 1233, the 2025 Salary Ordinance, and Ordinance 1234 amending Ordinance 920 to revise membership and create a Shade Tree Commission. Council also approved Resolution 1 (dated 1/21/25) establishing the terms and conditions of employment for the borough secretary. Each of those measures passed on council motions and recorded votes at the meeting.
Labor and contracts: The council approved a Memorandum of Understanding with Teamsters Local No. 205 addressing adjustments tied to 12-hour shifts, subject to final solicitor review and authorization for officials to sign. The council also approved entering into an agreement with Iworq Systems Inc. for municipal-management software pending solicitor review.
Police contract: Council approved a contract extension with the chief of police; roll call showed four yes votes and one abstention (Meghan DeVerse), and the motion carried.
Budget actions: Council approved payment of General Fund bills for December totaling $1,370,862.06 and Sewer Revenue Fund bills of $82,555.23. Council earlier approved the monthly financial reports.
Procedure and next steps: Most actions passed on recorded motions and votes with a consistent attendance pattern (five voting members present, two absent). The MOU and software agreement remain subject to solicitor review where noted; the chief’s contract extension was authorized for signing by borough officials. The meeting adjourned after routine new-business reminders about ethics forms.
Quotes from the meeting: "We were awarded a full grant in the amount of $25,000.00 to put in a Community Garden this year," said Council President Anthony Colecchi while reporting other community items. (This remark was made separately from the votes summarized here.)
The council provided formal roll-call tallies for key items in the meeting minutes; where the transcript records abstentions or roll-call results those are reported above.
