Top issues during term (20)
2027 borough budget
The final 2027 budget, voted on in November, sets borough taxes and spending for next year.
Next Generation Playground Phase 1 construction
The pavilion costs $168,553, and the Phase 1 construction contract will follow once the RFP is advertised and bid.
Business district parking overhaul
Parking lot revenues are being added as budget line items to weigh against contract value.
Act 129 energy-efficiency purchase
LEDs cut electricity costs significantly and stadium lights acquired for under $10,000 represent major savings.
Borough Pension Advisory Committee
Sound oversight of pension plans protects borough finances and employee retirement security.
Firefighter working schedules MOU
Fiscal impact not yet quantified — the chief has been asked to provide budget figures when it returns.
Active Transportation Plan intersection picks
Cost estimates aren't final yet — a mock-up packet with pricing comes to council next week.
Dormont Junction TOD and social media misinformation
Residents argue an unbudgeted student influx could strain Keystone Oaks School District finances and local property owners.
Penrose project opposition
No cost to the borough to enter the agreement, and Pennrose would pay up front so borough and PRT staff time is covered.
Rec board staffing transition
The borough will fund a hire for the position, plus a new finance/HR role.
Free tax assistance site proposal
No direct cost to the borough beyond providing space and storage in the municipal building.
2026 Road Program and sidewalk complications
The 2026 road program work authorization is capped at $70,000, with the borough already having spent significant money on the pavement survey.
Proposed PRT/developer 180-unit apartment development
Unknown at this stage — no application is before council.
Kelton/Eastmont/KO High School intersection safety
Estimated at about $124,000, beyond what the road improvement budget covers without grants.
Home for the Holidays tree lighting
Last year's 25-sign batch cost roughly $500; ordering earlier and in bulk is expected to reduce the per-sign price.
2027 road program and salt costs
Salt at roughly double last year's price adds to winter road maintenance costs.
TriCOG Land Bank participation
Presented as minimal risk and expense to the borough, with future tax revenue returning to the borough and school district from resale of properties.
Commission Vacancies and Recruitment
The child abuse clearances are free for volunteers, so no cost to members.
Vape shop zoning regulations
2027 recreation calendar
About 3,400 eggs were purchased, plus roughly 8 prizes and donated/discounted cookies and donuts — all within the rec budget.
