Summary
On voice and roll‑call votes the borough council approved a change order for Forest Pool renovations, awarded a sewer‑lining contract to Robinson Pipe Cleaning Company, approved monthly bills, and appointed an alternate to the arts and culture advisory panel.
The Borough Council of Forest Hills approved several routine actions during its meeting, including a change order for a pool renovation, a contract award for a sewer‑lining project, approval of monthly bills, and an appointment to an advisory panel.
On a roll call vote council approved Change Order No. 1 for Contract 25‑PK2 (Forest Pool building renovations with FMs Construction Company) in the transcribed amount of $18,258.20 to address additional plumbing, concrete, structural review items and finish work. The motion was seconded and carried with the roll‑call votes recorded as yes by Mr. Bacon, Mr. Droto (attending online), Mr. Lawrence, Miss Lewis, Miss Martin, Mr. Theelocker and President Bio.
Council also voted to award Contract 26‑2 (Upper Falls Run Phase 2 flow reduction lining project) to Robinson Pipe Cleaning Company for the transcribed amount of $230,751.25. The project is described by staff as a lining of leaky sewer segments to achieve an anticipated roughly 10% flow reduction this year; council approved the award on a roll call vote.
The finance committee moved to approve the month's bills; a roll call vote recorded the motion as carried. The council approved minutes from the May 5 and May 20 meetings and appointed Marcy Bar as an alternate member of the Arts and Culture Advisory Panel with a term ending in 2027; both motions carried on voice votes.
The council also approved participation with LX Advisory Services USA LLC in the Western Pennsylvania Energy Consortium and approved an Environmental Advisory Council request to allow a donation jar at Community Day. The meeting record shows motions carried but does not include detailed contract scopes or change‑order backup in the public discussion; staff indicated retained funds and punch lists remain for some projects.
What happens next: Contracts and change orders will proceed to processing and payment per regular procurement and finance procedures; staff will manage closeout punch lists and inspections.
