Council approves $150,220 grant application for restroom upgrades at Town Hall and Devlin Park
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2026-12 authorizing a RAAC grant application for $150,220 to renovate restrooms at Town Hall and Devlin Park; a resident questioned why full grant documents were not shown to the public.
Council approved Resolution 2026-12 authorizing the filing of an application with the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County for restroom improvements at Town Hall and Devlin Park. Staff described the request as a Gaming Economic Development & Tourism Fund grant and said it totals $150,220 based on engineer estimates and prior Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) work.
A resident, Ellen Wright, told the council she was concerned that the "whole documents are not being shown to the residents" and asked why only approval pages are presented when council votes on such items. Staff responded that engineer quotes and probable costs supported the $150,220 figure, noting previous CDBG estimates of about $45,000 per bathroom at Town Hall and lower costs for the park restrooms: "That's how we achieved the $150,220 request for the grant."
