PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION
CITIZENS INPUT
William Gulasa – 13741 Mike Road – states the reason he is here this evening is because they have
been trying to resolve an issue with very bright lighting from the Norwin Soccer Club fields
adjacent to their properties. He states they have been working with Commissioner Gray and visited
here in December 2025. Himself, Dave Nelson and two other neighbors that are affected by this
and couldn’t make it, Joe Baker and Sarah Baer. He states the lights are very bright that shine on
the back of their properties and are kept on all night long. He states they have tried to resolve this
issue with the President of Norwin Soccer, Mr. Bunovich, but has been very difficult to deal with.
He states there is intransigence on Mr. Bunovich’s part to do anything about the lighting and also
is very angry when they have spoken and disregard for the neighbors and for the zoning
requirements on the soccer club. He states they have questioned the needs for the lights and were
told it is for security reasons. There are locked gates at the entrance to the soccer fields along with
cameras.
Dave Nelson – 13341 Mike Road – states he is in total agreement with what Mr. Gulasa said. The
lights are a nuisance and they have tried to work with Rob a few times and it just doesn’t work.
He agrees that Mr. Bunovich is very angry and called them on the phone just coming at them. He
states he has lived there for thirty-one years and never had a problem with the soccer club. Mr.
Bunovich told them the lights would be off on Tuesday and as of last night the lights were still on
and was told the breaker was broken but can still operate the lights. At this stage of the game
because of all the lies and deceit, Mr. Nelson not only wants the lights off, but taken down.

April 9, 2026
Walter Geiger – 11639 Frog Road – states he wants an update on what is going on with a project
and was told this Spring would be a clean-up on Frog Road, but now was told it is cancelled. He
has been fighting with this for over thirty years and at this point this is uncalled for as the crick is
clear up to the road and the water flows down the road and over the storm drains. There have been
meetings in the past. The project on Scotch Hill has caused more water on the property than ever
before. Also, the State inspected the bridge that failed because there is too much sediment
underneath. He states this project needs to be put back on.
Robert Watt – 7505 Diane Avenue – states he is in support of Strawpump VFD and would like to
see a resolution to get the area back.
Ryan Senica – 130 Walker Lane – Chief of Strawpump VFD – states when he spoke last month,
the update he had for the ISO survey was that they believed they would not be a seven rating and
saw a path for them to get to a five rating. The day after the meeting, he received a call from
Verisk stating they still had a couple of documents that were missing and to fill out the documents
and send to them. He received a message the next morning stating it looked like the department
was going to be five rating. He questioned if there would be a gap where people would be subject
to the ten rating and was told there would be no gap and the current class would take effect. He
states they are ready to move forward with their mission. He states he does not support this going
to the fire feasibility committee because the fire chiefs agreed that if Strawpump got to a five rating
that the area would be rezoned back to them.
Charles Wolfe – 7750 Pennsylvania Avenue – states he is a member of Strawpump VFD and also
a resident. He states he supports Ryan, who has done a fabulous job and feels there is more to a
fire department than just numbers but the quality of the people. He does deny that something went
wrong and thanks everybody at the department who dedicated their support to fix it.
George Fohrner – 8002 Pennsylvania Avenue – states he is an honorary member of Strawpump
VFD with fifty-two years of service, serving twenty-two years as Chief. There was a problem
with documentation and a low ISO rating. The decision was made in 2024 for an overlay district
by the fire chiefs and agreed to by the Board of Commissioners. It was also agreed that if and
when they met the ISO rating of a five rating that they would get their district back and the
members have done that with Ryan’s leadership and new members. He feels the agreement should
be honored made in 2024 which is separate from any committee that is currently being proposed.
He stands before the Board tonight as a lifelong resident of Strawpump and deserves the fire
department and wants it back.
RESPONSE TO CITIZENS INPUT
Norwin Soccer Light – Assistant Manager Fonzi states we did receive a follow up from Mr.
Bunovich saying he angled the lights and asks if the resident if they saw any difference. They
state the lights are still very bright. Mr. Fonzi asks if it helps when leaves are on the trees. The
residents state it does not. Mr. Fonzi states this will be looked at and will drive there after the
meeting. Commissioner Atwood asks how far the homes are from the field. The residents say
approximately three hundred yards and ask if it is zoned R4. Mr. Fonzi states they are considered
a non-conforming use, a commercial/recreational use on a residential property which they never

Page 5 of 72

April 9, 2026
received official site plan approval for that development and didn’t have a chance to look at a
photometric plan to make sure there is no light splash over and the security lights were just added
last year. He asked Mr. Bunovich if there are shades or hoods that could be affixed to the lights
and states will continue to work to make sure both parties are happy. Mr. Gulasa shares some
comments from Mr. Bunovich that said “if you think this light is something, wait until we had the
additional field lights and parking lights” and that is why we are pursuing this issue. Mr. Fonzi
states he let Mr. Bunovich know that if he proposes something like that would have to come
through the Planning Commission and Board of Commissioners to get approvals. Solicitor Dice
clarifies that legally what it is a prior non-conforming use which can operate if it predates the
ordinance and sounds like a nuisance ordinance can be discussed. Commissioner Atwood asks
Mr. Fonzi to copy the Board on the emails. Commissioner Gray thanks the residents for coming
to the meeting again and states he was down there in December after dark and took photos and
states it was unbearable. He understands their complaints and states it was like a freight train
coming towards their homes.
Frog Road – Manager Faulk states there has been a lot of work there and the houses are in a
floodplain. There was also a lot of work done on a pipe on Scotch Hill #2 to remove stormwater
coming off Scotch Hill onto the residents on Frog Road. He states the engineers have said there
is no way water can be coming off the hillside to the back of the houses. The project Mr. Geiger
said was cancelled was in fact not cancelled, just pushed back to install catch basins and re-pipe
the other side of Frog Road and will cost between twenty to thirty thousand dollars. Mr. Geiger
states the project keeps getting pushed off every year and sees other projects in the Township
getting done. He states insurance won’t cover the water damage in the house and the water has no
place to drain. He would like another meeting to discuss what can be done. Manager Faulk states
the project will be done as he promised years ago as it takes time to engineer and get the proper
permits. He states this has been addressed and will fix it. This is a three-prong project.
Strawpump VFD – Commissioner Haigis states this is on the agenda and will be discussed at that
time.
Work Sessions Discussion Topics
1) Towing Contract*
Manager Faulk states it has come to the attention that Fix’s Body Shop will no longer be providing
towing services. The current contract with Lenhart’s and Fix’s expires in July 2027. Lenharts
Service Center is requesting to renew the contract prior to the expiration date for an additional five
years to ensure that they can structure their business to accommodate the extra workload. The
current letter has been included from Lenharts with a draft agreement. There will be no change in
any of the fees. Commissioner Gray states he has seen nothing in writing that Fix’s will no longer
provide towing services and how were we made aware of this. Manager Faulk states he is correct
and came to his attention through the police lieutenant. Commissioner Gray states he cannot act
on something without a letter from Fix’s withdrawing their services. Commissioner Haigis states
it would be prudent to reach out the Fix’s to confirm with them and to have them send a letter.
Commissioner Atwood states we are currently in a contract with them and feels it should stay

Page 6 of 72

April 9, 2026
unless notified otherwise by them. Manager Faulk asks if the Board is comfortable and is it ok to
have the answer by next Thursday or wait for another month. Commissioner Haigis states he
would be comfortable with next week in writing.
2) Appointment of Commissioner to Trolley Line Trail Study Committee
Manager Faulk states the committee received their grant through DCNR and at next week’s
meeting will be an action item to appoint a Commissioner to their study committee.
3) Appointment of up to three Commissioners to Fire Service Feasibility Study Committee
Manager Faulk states there will be an action item at next week’s meeting to appoint up to three
Commissioners to the committee. Commissioner Hempel asks if it is set for three Commissioners
or maybe two Commissioners and an Assistant Manager. Commissioner Haigis states in the draft
listed three Commissioners and a representative from the Township. Commissioner Atwood states
the verbiage was up to three Commissioners. Commissioner McGhee asks how this process works
and do we nominate someone. Commissioner Haigis states a motion would have to be made.
Commissioner McGhee asks if we know how much time this will take so individuals can commit
to it. Commissioner Haigis states he would imagine the committee will meet monthly or biweekly.
Commissioner Zona states the committee would have to get together first to decide how they are
going to run it. Manager Faulk states during the chief’s meeting, the consensus was that Tuesday
nights work good and probably weekends. Commissioner Gray states his concern is the eligibility
of Commissioners, and would there be any conflict for any Commissioners that are already
connected to the fire departments. Solicitor Dice states the only time there would be a conflict is
if somehow you were benefiting in a financial way for your service. Commissioner Haigis states
the only members on the committee that would have a vote would be the fire departments
themselves and the Commissioners on the committee will be non-voting members. Commissioner
Gray states it involves tax money and foreign fire insurance, and nobody would benefit directly
but through the department you belong to, you would benefit. Commissioner McGhee states it
sounds like a perceived bias. Commissioner Zona states he sees it both ways and the way it was
discussed, the Board would be a recommending body but can’t vote. But on the other hand, if any
of the Board are a members of a fire department can make recommendations that benefit their
department. Solicitor Dice states he has a letter from the State Ethics Commission stating the
ethics act doesn’t really apply between government entities.
4) Donation of vehicle to Diocese of Greensburg Police Department*
Manager Faulk states Chief McCurdy received a letter from the Diocese asking for a vehicle. The
vehicle is a 2019 with one hundred four thousand miles on it and 16,754 hours on the engine.
There are mechanical issues such as a slipping transmission, AGR faults cam is failing, multitude
of engine faults and questionable rust. He states this vehicle is getting ready to be taken out of
service and the Diocese is aware of the issues, just basically used as a deterrent. Commissioner
McGhee states it says this is a program in which we use, so is this a program or word of mouth.
Manager Faulk states it is not an actual program, just historically we have donated vehicles to fire
departments or EMS. Commissioner Gray states he was against donating the vehicle to Rescue 8
and raised objections and concerns about the condition of the vehicle. He states we raised taxes

Page 7 of 72

April 8, 2026
and are giving away assets of the Township / taxpayers. He would be in favor of putting it on
Municibid and selling it to reimburse tax money to the Township. Commissioner Atwood asks if
Queen of Angels located in the Township or Irwin Borough. Manager Faulk states it is in Irwin.
Commissioner McHugh asks how many vehicles are in the police fleet. Manager Faulk states
Commissioner McHugh asked this last month and is still waiting for an answer. Commissioner
McHugh asks that since we got the donation letter how many are not being utilized for maximum
potential and depending on how many there are, are we waiting for a certain number to list them
on Muncibid. Manager Faulk states he has only done that once when there was a stockpile of
vehicles. Director Hochlinski adds that a ton of time is put into getting the vehicles ready to go
and get a small amount of money for it. Some of the cars are in bad condition. Commissioner
Gray states we lose less money if the vehicles are put on Municibid rather than donate them.
Commissioner Zona asks if this vehicle is donated to the police department, does all the equipment
need to be taken out. He states he would be ok in donating this because we are getting two free
vehicles thanks to Senator Kim Ward and another one through the opioid money as a DARE
vehicle. Commissioner Gray states he is curious of how many police vehicles we have along with
how many take home cars. Additionally, his concern is donating to the Diocese, is that the
government supporting a particular religion. What about the separation of church and State.
Solicitor Dice states they are a valid school within Pennsylvania and there is a lot of inner play
between private Catholic schools and public schools, so in this instance, if you were to say we are
not donating because they are affiliating with a religion would be more of a First Amendment
violation. Commissioner Gray asks would we do this for another religion police department and
he would rather see it go to Municibid. Commissioner McGhee asks if we track how often vehicles
will be done with service and how many more will go out of service this year. Manager Faulk
states he believes they are tracked on how many miles and hours are on a vehicle. Commissioner
Zona states a vehicle is not gotten rid of until we are able to replace it.
5) 2026 Budget Revision*
Manager Faulk states following the completion of the 2025 year-end reporting period, line-item
adjustments were made resulting in an additional two hundred eleven thousand, eight hundred,
twenty-six dollars in General Fund Revenue. Several General Fund expenditure line items were
adjusted, including reductions in certain areas and significant increases to the Winter Maintenance
Program, Fuel and Building Maintenance budgets. For the Capital Reserve Fund, grant funding
was awarded for the purchase of two police vehicles through Senator Kim Ward’s office as well
as a vehicle for DARE program funded through Opioid Funds. In addition, line items were
amended to accommodate additional public works equipment purchases. This year’s focus was
on upgrading essential equipment while preparing capital projects to be shovel-ready for future
grant applications and planned work in 2027. Director Hochlinski states the excavator is a 2026
Case CX90 with a six-way blade and has numerous bucket sizes. He states the previous excavator
purchased fifteen years ago was undersized and now with projects getting bigger and bigger, need
a bigger machine and this certainly meets the needs. Commissioner Gray asks how the winter
maintenance agreement with PennDot worked out. Director Hochlinski states there was not one
call for anyone stuck on Brownstown Road or Robbins Station Road and worked out very well in
that regard, however one of the unfortunate things that happened during the winter with every
decent storm, the weather did not warm up and got colder and there were a lot of times they had
to stay all night long.

6) Proposed amendment to the Enforcement Provision to the NHT Zoning Ordinance*
Thomas Bonidie states this ordinance currently provides that a person receiving an enforcement
notice has fifteen days to begin commencement to come into compliance and thirty days to
complete the compliance unless an extension is given. Under the proposed amendment, the
ordinance would be revised and require the owner would be given five days to begin compliance
measures and to be in complete compliance within ten days. The addition of Section 915.3,
strengthens the ordinance by making clear that the Township is not limited to monetary fines alone,
but may seek alternative judicial relief where necessary to halt or remedy continuing
noncompliance. In summary, the proposed ordinance amendment would improve the Township’s
ability to obtain timely compliance with its zoning regulations, clarify and strengthen the
Township's authority to pursue judicial remedies where appropriate and to better protect the public
health, safety and welfare through more effective enforcement procedures. He recommends the
Board consider adoption of the proposed amendment. Commissioner Gray asks what problems
are we fixing. Mr. Bonidie gives an example of a resident having unused vehicles located on their
property or store commercial equipment on their property in a residential zoning district. Right
now, they are given thirty days to come into compliance. Once a citation is issued, may wait
another thirty days before a court hearing is scheduled. He states if this is the first time this resident
is brought before the judge, more than likely the judge is going to grant them an extension which
would be another thirty days, however in the meantime, if you are the neighbor next door could
easily go ninety days or more before it is rectified. This just speeds up that process to keep things
moving in a positive direction. Commissioner Zona asks if Mr. Bonidie feels the five and ten day
periods are enough time and are the issues that arise that they can’t come into complete compliance
in ten days. Mr. Bonidie states it would be a case-by-case basis and extensions could be granted.
Commissioner McGhee asks if this is common in other communities. Yes. Commissioner Atwood
asks if there are many instances of this occurring now that we need to address and speed it up or
is it more of a preventative measure. Mr. Bonidie feels it is a combination of both. In his
experience, usually when a resident receives a letter in the mail, 99% of the time they correct the
situation. Commissioner Zona clarifies that they would be cited on the eleventh day unless there
is an extension granted. Yes. Commissioner Gray feels this is a little strict and can see reducing
it. Commissioner McGhee asks if he would prefer seven days and fifteen days is fair or a
compromise in between. Mr. Bonidie asks if the Board would be more comfortable with fifteen
days. Yes. And seven days to begin compliance instead of five. Yes. Commissioner McHugh
agrees and felt the five days and ten days seemed a little short. Commissioner Haigis states the
Board will be comfortable to keep the draft ordinance the same other than changing the five days
to seven and the ten days to fifteen days.
7) Proposed Fee Ordinance *
Manager Faulk states this was tabled to update the solar permit fees of .50c per square foot area,
plus two hundred fifty-dollar review fee and thirty-dollar zoning fee. Commissioner McGhee
states she saw hot tubs were added in and asks if this is for permanent hot tubs or blow-up tubs
and do they need to go through zoning. Mr. Bonidie states it would be for the permanent hot tubs
not the portable tubs. Commissioner McHugh asks if it is common for hot tubs to be on the fee
schedule. Yes, and is usually grouped with above-ground swimming pools. Manager Faulk states
there is a lot of electrical work that goes into is why it is on the fee schedule.

Page 9 of 72

April 9, 2026
Commissioner McHugh states throughout the fee schedule mentions the zoning fee. Mr. Bonidie
states currently the Township does not charge a zoning fee for almost any accessory structure other
than a deck. Commissioner McGhee asks if they would need a permit or go before the Zoning
Board. Mr. Bonidie states they would just need a permit. Manager Faulk adds the permit fee
would cover administrative costs to review the application. Commissioner McHugh states he had
asked about small project exempt no harm under stormwater management being presented by an
engineering firm and to him the three hundred fifty dollars seems steep. Manager Faulk states he
will check with Engineer Tech, Kody Grabiak on that.
8) Data Center*
Manager Faulk states data centers are becoming popular but are not zoned. Data centers are
primarily dedicated to housing computer systems, servers, data storage equipment and associated
infrastructure such as backup power systems, cooling systems, and security features for the
storage, processing or distribution of electronic data. He asks the Board to start developing a data
center ordinance to start regulating those. Commissioner Haigis feels it is a good idea to get ahead
of it just in case we were approached about having one. Commissioner McGhee asks if there are
any other items we should be thinking about, not necessarily acting on, but considering what is
popular right now. Manager Faulk states the City of Pittsburgh is currently looking at zoning
regulations for vape shops as we already have three vape shops with nothing to regulate them with.
Commissioner McHugh states he received a phone call regarding opening a vape shop next to a
daycare and do we want to have an ordinance to protect the children of the future. Manager Faulk
states the zoning ordinance as it dates back to 1991 and comes with a cost of seventy to eighty
thousand dollars. He states that is something to budget for next year as it is part of the
comprehensive plan. Commissioner Zona states he asked that this be on the agenda because they
are everywhere now and says an average household consumes around eleven thousand kilowatts
of energy annually and a typical data center can consume over one hundred megawatts. He feels
we need to start looking into these data centers quickly.
9) Strawpump VFD
Manager Faulk states he confirmed with Tyler Olson from Varisk that there will not be a gap in
the coverage and the class five rating is what they estimated. He states it is not a guarantee since
we do not know what their area will be and cannot fully assess it until the Township approves their
designated area. Commissioner Gray states he would like to see it on the agenda for next week to
give them their territory back. Obviously, from tonight’s presentation, the fire service is deep in
tradition and sentiment, and he would like to see them get their original territory back.
Commissioner Zona agrees and feels we made the promise that if they get their rating up to at least
a five rating that we would give it back. Commissioner McGhee agrees as well and clarifies if
Strawpump will be part of the fire feasibility committee. Manager Faulk states they are part of the
committee. Commissioner Haigis states once the territory is given back clarifies with Chief Senica
that he has everything else to Varisk and will get the rating soon. Chief Senica states the only
thing they don’t have yet is the community risk reduction and fire investigation program which
are bonus points. Commissioner Atwood agrees the territory should be given back and states great
job by Strawpump VFD for getting this turned around.

April 9, 2026
PLANNING / ENGINEERING TOPICS:
1) S-03-2026: Mae Sonshine Subdivision, R-2 Zoning
*Proposed boundary line revision & minor lot consolidation along Reed Street
Mr. Bonidie states this location of the subdivision is off of Reed Street and involves a
reconfiguration of an existing four lot property. There is an existing single-family dwelling and
the applicant proposes to consolidate and replat the existing parcels into four newly configured
lots. The purpose of this application is to reorganize the existing lot lines into a more practical
arrangements that better fits the site and believes this is a logical improvement to the existing
layout and a more efficient use of the properties. Commissioner Zona clarifies this subdivision
was approved at the Planning Commission 6-0. Don Tarosky states the opinion of the zoning
office was that the roads are easements and is an unrecorded plan which means if the applicant
does not record the plan would not affect the inrun with the ground. Because the plan was
approved by this body some eighty years ago but not recorded, the roads are not easements legally
speaking. Solicitor Dice agrees. Commissioner Zona asks if this decision changes anything with
the plan. Solicitor Dice feels ultimately it is up to whoever owns these properties and the existence
of any easements is up to the property owners and anyone wanted to assert that there is an
individual easement would be up to them, but in terms of what is being approved tonight and what
the applicant is seeking is their business.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
ACKNOWLEGEMENT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION
Commissioner Haigis acknowledged the Board held an Executive Session last Thursday, April
9th to discuss personnel and legal matters.
OPENING PRAYER
CITIZENS INPUT –
Kathy Bardi – 3240 Hawk Drive – states for three weeks in March, there was a contractor in the
plan surveying the sewage pipes to see if there were any knicks in the gas line. She asks if the
Board has any results and if there are any concerns.
Howard Huss – 8571 Walnut Street – President of the Westmoreland City VFD – reads a letter
from Mike Doshen who couldn’t be at the meeting. As the Board prepares to vote on returning
Strawpump’s fire district, he would like to recognize the members of Fairmont Hahntown VFD
and Westmoreland City VFD for serving as the primary agencies while Strawpump reorganized.

Page 12 of 72

April 15, 2026
It is important to note that this agreement was not sought by either department but was the result
of the Board deferring the matter to the fire chiefs. Over the past eighteen months, Strawpump’s
territory was divided between Westmoreland City and Fairmont Hahntown VFDs and emergency
calls were continually answered without interruption and residents were never left without
protection. He also acknowledges Chief Cook of Fairmont Hahntown who served as the
coordinating fire chief and dedicated countless hours. The responsibility in many ways was shifted
onto Westmoreland City and Fairmont Hahntown. He congratulates Strawpump VFD for meeting
one of the Township’s minimum compliance standards. Chief Cook and I stand readily to assist
in a smooth transition back to Strawpump pending the Board’s approval. He also recognizes the
Board’s efforts in establishing the fire department feasibility committee providing an opportunity
to hear first-hand the challenges they face. The residents of North Huntingdon Township deserve
a fire protection system that is stable and coordinated for long-term success. We must move
forward together transiting from a system from doing our best to one built on metrics, consistent
standards, accountability and well-trained capable fire fighters across all departments.
Skip Cook – 1054 Rebecca Street – reiterates and follows up with what Westmoreland City said
as they came together with the chiefs and made recommendations to cover the area. The plan was
put in place and approved by the Commissioners. He feels everyone worked together as a group
and public safety was never compromised.
Ryan Senica – 130 Walker Lane – Chief of Strawpump VFD – states they have been working
together over the last eighteen months and weren’t running a lot of calls with Fairmont Hahntown.
He appreciates Chief Cook and his group and look forward to working with them in the future.
He adds that the minimum standard for ISO is a nine and they met the standards set forth by the
Township.
RESPONSE TO CITIZENS INPUT
Columbia Gas - Engineer Tech Kody Grabiak states he believes Columbia Gas has a program
where they go back to anything prior to 2008 to camera the sanitary and storm lines for any damage
and if they find something will replace the lines.
Fire Service – thanks Westmoreland City and Fairmont Hahntown VFD’s.

Commissioner McHugh asks if it would be perceived biased as Commissioner Haigis’ father is
an officer at Circleville VFD. Commissioner Hempel states he would not have an issue with
Commissioner Haigis being on the committee as committee members will just be listening at the
meetings. Commissioner Haigis states his father is a member of Circleville, as was he, however

Page 16 of 72

he is no longer active in fire service. Commissioner Gray states he would prefer those motions
to be divided up. Solicitor Dice states there was originally a motion to appoint all three but right
now is a motion and a second to appoint all three so that should either be disposed of or voted
on. Commissioner Gray agrees that this could be perceived as bias by defending it and asks
if Commissioner Hempel is a member of Circleville. Commissioner Hempel states he is not on
the committee. Commissioner Gray asks him if he sees it as a bias. Commissioner Hempel
states not right now because Commissioner Haigis states he is not a member. Commissioner
Atwood asks if Commissioner Haigis’ father is an officer or just a member. Commissioner
Haigis states he is an officer.

6. Action to donate Police Car 3 to the Diocese of Greensburg Police Department.
Motion: Commissioner Zona
Second: Commissioner Hempel

Motion to approve.

Commissioner Gray states he objects to this because we are donating to one religion and he raised
that issue last week. He feels this is not appropriate for the government to give Township assets
to a religion in exclusivity because according to what he read, there are ten thousand globally
recognized religions and in Pennsylvania there one hundred sixty-one religions recognized. He
just feels that the government giving a donation to religion is not appropriate and would rather see
the car put on Municibid and whatever money raised from that go back into the general fund to
benefit the residents who participate in all religions and objects to this. Commissioner Zona states
this car will be donated to a certified police department and not a religion. He states they went
through the process of becoming a certified police department and can enforce the law and arrest
people. Commissioner Gray states the letter was received from the Greensburg Diocese which is
a religion who has a police department that is directed by the Diocese, so it is a religion we are
donating to. He states there is no telling new police departments for religious causes won’t be
formed as he sees that happening more and more as groups are forming their own police
departments such as UPMC and Highmark. Commissioner Zona adds hospitals do have police
departments and there is a lot of criteria to go through to be certified police officers. He said the
letter received came from the Chief, Ryan Mayer, of the police department and in the letter said
they wanted to use it as a deterrent and what the vehicle would be used for. He states he does not

Page 17 of 72

April 15, 2026
have a problem in doing this. Chief McCurdy states this vehicle will be utilized specifically at
Queen of Angels school which is within our Township with kids that go there so we are supporting
our own citizens by providing this vehicle. This car will be used as a deterrent and not out on
patrol. He states this will also help us out as any would be criminals look at a soft target such as
a school and would definitely be a deterrent and helps us out in police services, citizens and kids.
Commissioner Gray agrees about helping the residents and supporting the police department but
what if, down the road, there is a police department formed by an opposing religion that may say
death to American what are you going to do then. Chief McCurdy feels that would be a case-bycase basis as we are our own governing agency and can deny any donations at all. Solicitor Dice
states he understands what Commissioner Gray is saying but does not feel there is a legal issue
with donating this under the First Amendment. He thinks, if anything, with the proliferation of
school police departments as they are everywhere now talking about soft targets. He doesn’t know
of any school district that doesn’t have at least a few school police. So, First Amendment wise,
the Greensburg Diocese police department could have an argument that we are singling them out
because they are a religion. However, he understands the point if another religion opened a school
police department such as a Jewish school that opened in North Huntingdon but continuously
donated to the Greensburg Diocese and not to the Jewish school who also had their own police
department could see a claim occur. Commissioner McGhee feels it would be a good idea to set
perimeters to donating vehicles. Commissioner Atwood asks if there are any warranties or
guarantees that the car will be used solely at Queen of Angels and the St. Agnes carnival as they
stated in the letter. Chief McCurdy states he spoke with Chief Mayer and he knows the reasons
for the donation and will not be using the vehicle on long distances, only for short distances in the
Township.

CONSULTING ENGINEER MONTHLY REPORT
DEVELOPMENTS / PLANNING COMMISSION:
1) Huntingdon Marketplace Land Development Revision (SP-02-2016)


Application Type: Major Land Development



Status: “Under Review”
i.

The latest submission was reviewed, and our letter was forwarded to the applicant and
consultant on 7/19/2023. Awaiting resubmission that addresses all comments and
conditions of approval.

2) Stonegate PRD (PRD-02-2023)


Application Type: Planned Residential Development



Status: “Under Review”
i.

The applicant has received conditional approval for the Tentative PRD application.

ii.

Township Commissioners granted final conditional approval at their 11/15/2023 meeting.

iii.

The owners’ consultant requested a meeting with DEP and Township staff on 10/2/2024
to discuss the potential joint permit application for the wetland impacts. It was determined
that the owner’s consultant will submit the Joint permit application to DEP for the
increased wetland disturbance.

iv.

The consulting engineer reached out to our office in June 2025 requesting a stormwater
consistency letter. They were informed that they still have not satisfied the comments of
our latest comment letter dated 10/30/2023. We’ve been corresponding with the
consultant and anticipate a forthcoming final submission to satisfy the remaining
comments.

3) Tuscan Hills Phase 7 (S-05-2023)


Application Type: Major Land Development



Status: “Approved with Conditions”
i.

Application received conditional approval on 5/18/2023.

ii.

Based on the most recent submission, we have updated our review on 8/21/2023.

iii.

Items that may remain outstanding include a development agreement, posting of financial
security, water main design approved by MAWC, and recording the final subdivision plat.

iv.

The developer’s consultant has provided a revised site plan that shows access to the
pond from Marco Court between Lots 731 & 732. The original plan that went thru the
approval process was to have access from S.R. 3053, thus requiring a PennDOT HOP.
The new access provided limited room for future maintenance of the pond and staging
area for the same. We have suggested they consider an alternative by possibly using the
easement between Lots 732 & 733 thus giving direct access to the dam breastwork and a
larger area for staging in the future. We are awaiting their analysis.

the Pollutant Reduction Plan (PRP) projects completed to date. These final reports are
required to demonstrate compliance with mandated pollutant load reductions and must
include detailed sediment reduction calculations, supporting photo documentation, and
as-built plans. Such documentation is necessary to verify that Best Management
Practices (BMPs) were properly implemented and achieved the required reductions.



KU Resources received additional comments on the initial submission and are currently
preparing the necessary documents and response to address the DEP’s feedback. We
anticipate completing the response package for resubmission by the end of May 2026.

hereby ordained and enacted as follows:

1. The zoning officer is hereby authorized and directed to enforce the provisions of
this ordinance and any amendments thereto and to institute civil enforcement
proceedings as provided for in Section 915.2 when acting within the scope of his
employment.
2. If it appears that a violation of this ordinance has occurred, the zoning officer
shall initiate enforcement proceedings by sending an enforcement notice to the
owner of record of the parcel on which the violation has occurred, to any person
who has filed a written request to receive enforcement notices regarding that
parcel, and to any other person requested in writing by the owner of record.
3. An enforcement notice shall state the following:
(1) The name of the owner of record and any other person against whom the
municipality intends to take action.
(2) The location of the property in violation.
(3) The specific violation with a description of the requirements which have not
been met, citing in each instance the applicable provisions of this ordinance.
(4) That the owner of record or other person against whom the municipality

later than the expiration of any extension granted, in writing, by the zoning

violation until the fifth day following the date of the determination of a violation
by the district justice and thereafter each day that the violation continues shall
