SOUTH FAYETTE

Township manager Ryan Eggleston has tendered his resignation to accept another position down south.

Mr. Eggleston will begin his new role as City Manager in Morehead City, N.C., some time in May. His last day in South Fayette will be April 27.

Mr. Eggleston informed the Board of Commissioners on Feb 21 in executive session.

“It is going to be hard to leave behind the many great things we have accomplished here,” said Mr. Eggleston--who has been township manager since 2012.

Mr. Eggleston began his career in community management in Greenville, Pa., in 2006. In 2009, he became the city manager in Oil City, until he finally landed in South Fayette in 2012.

Professional consulting firm, GovHR USA, has been hired by the township to recruit a replacement. The search is expected to begin in March.

PETERS

Council authorized an agreement with the Peters Township Sanitary Authority and the Peters Township School District to facilitate upgrades to the Stonehenge Trunk Sewer to provide for increased capacity from the new Peters Township High School.

The Peters Township Sanitary Authority has agreed to absorb one-third of the total cost of the project, which is estimated to be about $700,000. The school district will pay for about 57 percent of the project and the township will absorb the remaining 10 percent of the cost.
