This meeting was a SuperCommittee/Agenda session of the Dormont Borough Council, held on August 12, 2026. Discussions included updates on the Artificial Intelligence Use Policy, recommended zoning ordinance changes, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Keystone Oaks School District (KOSD) for emergency use of the Rec Center, fire department developments, a zero-waste composting proposal, a potential Residents Academy, and a pool consulting contract. No formal votes were taken; most items are expected to proceed to the upcoming voting agenda.
All right, I'm gonna call the meeting to order. This is the secret community meeting for September 29th. Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. And two for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Okay. So we don't have any registered comments. And Brandon is going to go first because he has to leave. So public safety building and code enforcement committee. Thank you all. Really appreciate it. Appreciate the comments during the last section on the AI use policy. Special thanks to Amy for the comments in here. So for the last time you just kind of want to go over what has been changed thus far that we talked about. Expanded on two items in kind of the guiding principles. Documentation. Also updated the accessibility into the guiding principles based on the discussion last time and what that means. Also feedback loops. Great comment on about what could this include? And again, kind of shared what are some of the things that it can include, right? Whether it's online sections in our website dedicated to things when we when we are purchasing a tool or whenever we are using it. Just make sure we have instances of where we're um where we're saying that. Not including kind of regular use of graphic design tools such as Canva, where it may use AI, may or may not use it. But just wanted to be clear of what things it are, right? And in this in this bucket, it's really falls under the things that you can typically pay a person for. And again, going back to the kind of some of our principles, like Dormont has a really robust artistic community. Um if we're having design poetry paintings, uh murals, that's going to be done by people. Um I believe that and just a small comment at the bottom. Um that is all of the changes that we had in there. Still obviously, like in the in the meantime, ask me questions, the update anything else. Um I'll wait for like any any comments that you have on this, but whenever um whenever I have those, then we'll we'll look to post it. So the documents online. Anyone can share that. If anyone's um on the line itself, too, um, they can reach out to me via via email as well. Any questions or comments on that. Okay. Um for um the next parts of this, and thank you all for for the consideration. I'm gonna just um turn it over to Chief Stakich and um turn it over on my phone that I will be listening and participating on the road. Thank you all. Thank you. Good evening. We have the final draft for your review um of the code and zoning changes that we've been working through for the last several months. Um, after the last discussion that we had, we kicked it off to the planning commission to review all the changes to kind of vet um the intent and what we were looking for, and they basically did their uh went through their process of discussion and reviewing everything and basically came came forward with their recommendations, which all are in line with what we were talking about, but it's just more fine-tuned language that once they get done with their review, Ashley put everything together into actual um format that we would see in our code and how it's going to be applied. So I know everybody had that in the packet.
