Among other things, council:
• Approved a contract with Allegheny Township for police services. The contract will see Allegheny Township provide 24/7 police services to West Leechburg Borough in place of the borough’s current part-time police department. This agreement will NOT affect the borough’s current tax rate. An effective date for the transition will be posted in the near future along with additional information on the change. Council understands this is a massive change, but believes it will best serve borough residents.
• Approved the lowest responsible bidder for the Gosser Street Sewer Replacement project. This project is being carried out with a combination of funds from the borough, a county grant, and the Municipal Authority of Allegheny Township.
• Heard a report on excavation permits issued to Peoples Natural Gas for gas line work in the West Street area of town. We do not have a planned construction date yet.
• Accepted the resignation of a public works employee.
• Discussed updates on the Blight Study/Plan being worked on by Westmoreland County’s planning department.
• Discussed the Shamrock Shuffle event to be held on 3/22/25. See other recent borough posts for information on this event.
• Discussed the borough’s upcoming 100th anniversary in 2028.

Semper Gratus will once again be hosting its 5k and Fun Walk in the borough on 3/22/25. Please see the attached letter and race map for details on affected areas of the borough.
