SOUTH FAYETTE

The township library on Millers Run Road will remain closed until mid-September for repairs and renovations.

The library has been closed to repair flooring that was damaged when a drain overflowed due to heavy rains July 22. The closure will be extended to make further improvements.

“What started as a little repair project has turned into an amazing opportunity to renovate the library,” library director Cheryl Napsha said.

The library will have new flooring, expanded seating and updated spaces for children, teens and adults.

During the closure, patrons are invited to use the nearby Bridgeville Public Library, 505 McMillen St., where South Fayette library staff members are working.

Many South Fayette library programs will be held at the Bridgeville library.

Materials may not be returned to the South Fayette library while it is closed. Instead, they should be returned to the Bridgeville library or to any library in the Allegheny County system.

The township has amended its 2016 budget to include $346,762 it received from state oil and natural gas drilling impact fees.

Council president Robert Lewis said the funds will go toward road construction work.

When preparing its 2016 budget last year, the township didn’t include the impact fees because it wasn’t clear whether it would get the money due to the state budget impasse.

TARENTUM

The borough is purchasing two police vehicles with the help of a federal grant of about $40,000.

The borough will contribute about $29,000 for a total of $69,500 for the vehicles, which will be specially outfitted Ford Interceptor SUVs.

The grant comes via the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Community Facilities program.

The township commissioners accepted two grants Monday.

One is for improvements at Lions Park in the amount of $218,000. The township will be required to match 15 percent of the grant, or $32,000. The grant is through the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Finance Authority.

Commissioners also approved an agreement with the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County for a $34,000 grant to be used for the active transportation master plan.

In other business, the board authorized the advertisement of a request for proposals for consultants to study the township’s three fire departments on efficiency of service and recruitment and retention of volunteers.

BRIDGEVILLE

State Rep. Jason Ortitay, R-South Fayette, presented a condolence resolution from the Legislature to the family of the late William Colussy, who served two terms on borough council.

Mr. Colussy’s daughter, Alyson Holler, accepted the resolution on the family’s behalf at the council meeting on Monday.

“In 2007, when he decided to run for council, my dad said the community needed him, and he was convinced he could make a difference,” she said.

Mr. Colussy died May 27 at the age of 75. He was the owner of H. Colussy Garage and was instrumental in starting the Bridgeville Youth Football League in 1976.

In other action, council approved a site-plan application for Holy Child Roman Catholic Parish on Station Street. The plan calls for an addition to the former school with an elevator and restrooms to convert it into a Parish Life Center.
