Council Highlights 4/8/26

Among other things, council:

• Approved a contract with PA Municipal Services (PAMS) to begin collecting the borough’s quarterly sewer user fee. The goal is for PAMS to take over in the third quarter of the year (August bill) but that is dependent on data being transferred and accounts set up. Expect at least one more bill from KVWPCA for the second quarter. We will post more information on this in the near future,s o be on the lookout for those posts.
  
• Approved Ordinance 342 allowing PA Municipal Services to serve as the collection agent for the borough’s sewer user fee.
  
• Discussed passing a data center ordinance that would regulate the location and other items related to placing a data center in the borough. The borough has no news of a data center being put in town, we are being proactive in case one comes along. Currently, without an ordinance, we have no regulatory power over data center placement. NO, legally, we cannot ban data centers from the entire borough.
  
• Authorized HRG to advertise for bids for the 2026 paving project. 
  
• Discussed hiring part time summer help for the public works crew. If you know anyone interested (the position is great for high school or college kids in the summer) please contact the secretary at [email protected] or 724-845-7359.
