Supercommittee & Agenda Review - Sep 28, 2026
Potomac Avenue's street lights are at end of life — the model isn't manufactured anymore and two poles were knocked down this year. A state rebate program could replace the whole corridor for under $10,000 installed, with Bluetooth controls and energy savings. A sample light will be installed for council to see first.

Borough of Dormont - Sep 8, 2026
A $7,040 buy of energy-efficient fixtures through the state rebate program — small dollars now for long-term utility savings.
Supercommittee & Agenda Review - Aug 31, 2026
The borough will spend $7,040.01 on energy-efficient fixtures for the rec center, borough building, and public works garage through the state's Act 129 rebate program — first-come, first-served credits, so speed matters. Pop Murray Field lights are still being priced.
Supercommittee - Aug 24, 2026
A state rebate program lets the borough buy LED panels at $10 instead of $50-$100, with the firehouse alone saving about $1,600 a year. It's first-come-first-served, so speed matters.
