Glassport council approves monthly bills, awards sale of Public Works truck and donates playground equipment
Summary
At its Oct. 15 meeting, Council approved financial reports, paid $548,119.30 in General Fund bills and $91,369.56 in Sewer Fund bills, awarded the surplus 2000 F250 to Original Tree Service for $1,152 and adopted resolutions to authorize the truck sale and donate playground equipment to East Pittsburgh.
Glassport Borough Council voted on multiple financial and asset items at its Oct. 15 meeting, approving utility and general-fund payments, and authorizing two property transfers.
Council accepted the Treasurer’s monthly reports and noted $22,896.64 in interest earned after switching borough accounts to Brentwood Bank. On motions carried unanimously among those present, council approved General Fund bills totaling $548,119.30 and Sewer Revenue Fund bills totaling $91,369.56.
The council considered two sealed bids for the Public Works 2000 F250 (Original Tree Service bid $1,152; Paul’s Auto bid $500). On a motion by Amy Nabors seconded by Angelo Norelli, council awarded the sale to Original Tree Service; the motion passed 5–0 with two members absent. Council then adopted Resolution No. 9 (10/15/24) authorizing the sale.
Separately, council approved and adopted Resolution No. 2 (10/15/24) to donate playground equipment from Ninth Street Ballfield to East Pittsburgh. Motions to approve the minutes and the safety meeting minutes were carried earlier in the meeting.

Why it matters: the approvals settle the borough’s monthly obligations, realize modest proceeds from surplus-equipment sale, and move community assets (playground equipment) to another municipality. The council noted the bank switch’s interest income when reviewing fiscal health.
Next steps: borough staff will complete the sale paperwork for the F250 and execute the playground equipment transfer to East Pittsburgh.
