The Dormont Borough Council Supercommittee met on August 24, 2026, at 6:05 PM to review items scheduled for formal action at the September voting meeting. Mayor Jason Walsh, Council President Amie Downs, and Councilmembers Kate Abel Fabus, Chris Kipp, Joshua Munson, Chris Rieger, and Daniele Ventresca were present; Councilman Shawn Melvin was absent. No registered comments were submitted. Council noted that an executive session was held on August 17, 2026, to receive legal advice.
Thank you. We call this meeting of the August 24 Supercommittee meeting of the borough of Dormont to order and ask that the manager please call the role. Mayor Walsh. Here. Council President Downs. Here. Councilwoman Favis. Here. Councilman Kip. Here. Councilman Melvin. Councilman Mudson. Here. Councilman Reger. Sure. Councilman Ventreska. Here. All present and accounted for except for Councilman Melvin. Thank you very much. I understand that we don't have any register comments for this evening. We do not. Thank you very much. Under executive committee, we have four items this evening. All of which we will formally take action on at our September voting meeting, but just quickly go over them. Mark Ford uh submitted his resignation from the Safe Mobility Commission. So we will be formally accepting that. And then we'll obviously be moving forward and trying to fill that vacancy on the Safe Mobility Commission. As you might remember, um, when we opened the um application process for council, there were several unsuccessful members of the um the borough who were also interested potentially in safe mobility commission. So I expect that we're going to see several applications for it, but just wanted to highlight that for all of you. Um separately, we also received a resignation crossing guard in Bushman effective last week. So we'll be accepting that both of these, sorry, were effective last week. So both will be accepted retroactively. Um the third item is the motion to approve resolution number 14 2026, which establishes the borough of Dormont Tension Board. Um, as we discussed, I think months ago, right? We created an ad hoc committee that would allow everything to start forward with our putting together our pension uh process, including having the investment advisor and other things now that we have some of those pieces in place, we'll move forward with actually creating the pension board um for the borough. So that will be forthcoming as well. And finally, um there will be a motion to approve or appoint a finance director for the borough dormant. That is uh currently an empty line, which I know there have been some questions about, and that is because this meeting is the meeting where we discuss items that we will take official action on in September. So between now and that first meeting in September, the expectation is that we will go through that process for our viewing applicants for that position and have a recommendation from the manager by that meeting to formally vote uh to appoint that person. So that's why there is no name there, but we will have that information prior to our voting meeting, but as is our process, we're discussing it here because that will be the matter that comes up before the um the voting meeting. I also have to apologize and go back for one thing, and I apologize. Um a comment for the record that this council held an executive session on August 17th for the purpose of receiving legal advice. And so just wanted to make that notification for the record so that we had it. Um, with that, unless there's anything else for executive committee or any questions related to those four items. I will start passing and gavel down. We'll just go order rather than order the agenda, the order of the roster, if you don't mind. Unless there's any objections.
