Borough to seek $500,000 GEDTF grant for pollution-reduction improvements; council to advertise traffic ordinances
Summary
The clerk announced the borough plans to file a GEDTF grant application for $500,000 for pollution-reduction improvements and recommended advertising ordinances (11-30 and 11-29) to codify traffic changes and map updates; no votes were taken at the meeting.
The clerk announced that the borough plans to file an application with the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County for a GEDTF grant in the amount of $500,000 to support pollution-reduction plan improvements. He emphasized the council could not vote on the resolution at this meeting but that it had to be announced.
“We have a motion to approve resolution number 13 o 6, authorizing the following of an application for funds with the redevelopment authority of Allegheny County for a GEDTF grant in the amount of 500,000 for pollution reduction plan improvements,” the clerk said. Council members also heard that bids for a fire-department grinder pump came in higher than expected and will be brought for motion at a subsequent business meeting. Staff recommended advertising ordinance 11-30 to establish one-way roadways on Wilkins Road and Pacific Avenue, amend posted speeds on certain borough roadways, and amend the borough street map to name service roads and unnamed alleys; ordinance 11-29 may be consolidated with 11-30 for advertising savings.
Council did not vote on the grant resolution or the ordinances at the session; staff will return with bid totals and formal ordinance advertising for future action.
