Fire Department Partners with Red Cross for Free Smoke Detector Installations
The Fire Department is partnering with the Red Cross to offer free smoke detector installations in residents' homes. This program aims to enhance fire safety within the community. Once the program details and policy are finalized, residents will be able to contact the department for installations and a brief fire safety plan review. The program is expected to launch within the next 30 days. The council emphasized the importance of publicizing this initiative through various communication channels.
Design Services Approved for Gil Hall Community Center Renovation Project
The council approved a proposal from DesignStream LLC for the Gil Hall Community Center addition/renovation project in the amount of $150,400, subject to final solicitor review. This amount represents the remaining balance after $16,700 was already spent in the due diligence phase. The total estimated project cost is between $1.5 to $1.8 million. The proposal covers the project through completion. The proposed schedule aims for design, permitting, and bidding by September, with potential contract award in October to complete exterior work before year-end. The design phase requires work to begin in July.
MOU Approved Between Police Department and Allegheny Intermediate Unit for School Safety
The council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Jefferson Hills Police Department and the Allegheny Intermediate Unit, as required by the Safe Schools Act for years 2026-2028. This MOU facilitates cooperation and resource sharing for school safety initiatives. The motion was made by Councilwoman Axe and seconded by Councilwoman Busey.

Grant Application Submitted for Southeast Regional EMS Equipment Upgrades
The council approved Resolution 24-2026, authorizing an application for the Gaming Economic Development Tourism Fund (GEDTF) grant through Allegheny County Economic Development (ACED) for Southeast Regional EMS (SERMS). The grant amount is $86,500. The resolution was corrected from an initial mention of 'local share assessment' (LSA) and 'DCED' to 'GEDTF' and 'ACED'. This proactive application aims to secure funding for new portable radios for SERMS, which cost approximately $7,000 each. The application window for GEDTF is typically short, and the borough is being flexible with resolution timing.
