As better-than-exepcted news on the trajectory of the novel coronavirus has led to a general loosening of pandemic-related restrictions in Allegheny County, Brentwood Borough is also preparing to remove additional limitations to its operations.

  • Beginning June 9th, the municipal building lobby will be opened to visitors. The use of masks is a mandatory condition of entry. Face-to-face meetings with individual employees are strongly discouraged, and all business should be conducted at the administrative and/or police clerical counter to the greatest extent possible.
  • Members of the public may attend meetings of Council in person, but a remote option will remain available via Microsoft Teams. The Planning Commission and Zoning Hearing Board meetings will also return to their duties.
  • The Police Department has returned to its regular schedule. In order to limit officer exposure, individuals are still encouraged to submit non-emergency requests via Crimewatch and to utilize CrashDocs for accident reports.
  • Building inspections will now take place in person. The Borough will continue to use Microsoft Teams to conduct virtual occupancy inspections.
  • The majority of Brentwood Park was reopened on June 5th. Restrictions will be placed on the number of individuals that can utilize each facility at any one time. The playground and the pavilion remain closed. Exercise courses will resume June 8th. The community room will be available for rent at a reduced capacity. 

Details

During its May business meetings, Council authorized the advertising of the following pieces of legislation:

  • Ordinance No. 1289, which would update Chapter 162 of the Borough Code to confirm the municipality's use of the 2018 edition of the International Property Maintenance Code.
  • Ordinance No. 1290, which would update Chapter 186 of the Borough Code to remove inconsistencies between municipal and state swimming pool installation requirements.
  • Ordinance No. 1291, which would authorize the installation of five new stop signs.

It is anticipated that a final vote on these matters will take place on June 22nd.

As the effects of the novel coronavirus continue to cause profound economic stress, it is recognized than many families are now struggling to pay for basic necessities. Residents who are in need of assistance with maintaining access to food are encouraged to attend an upcoming drive-through distribution. The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank and local nonprofit SHIM will be providing three prepackaged boxes of food to up to 1000 vehicles. The event will take place on Saturday, May 16th, from 11AM to 1PM at South Hills Village.

Southwestern Pennsylvania is fortunate to have seen a significantly lower rate of coronavirus transmission than many other urban regions. However, as this disease will continue to linger with us for an extended period of time, it is vital to remain diligent. Brentwood Borough, like all organizations that facilitate the majority of their outputs via in-person operations, is working to provide the fullest slate of services possible without compromising the safety of its employees. Please note the following:

  • The municipal building remains closed to visitors. Administrative employees are available via phone or email during standard business hours. Individuals interested in participating in the month's meeting of Borough Council are asked to do so remotely via Microsoft Teams.
  • The Police Department will continue to screen calls so as to limit unnecessary face-to-face contact. Police clerical employees have returned to their regular shifts, but individuals are still encouraged to submit non-emergency requests via Crimewatch and to utilize CrashDocs for accident reports.
  • The Public Works Department has returned to conducting business during its normal hours of operation.
  • The Code Department is now able to process building permits. Association inspections will transpire in such a manner that encourages maximum physical distancing. Occupancy inspections will recommence but will take place remotely.
  • The park remains closed. Due to anticipated ongoing restrictions on large crowds, upcoming events such as Community Day and our street fair have been postponed. The Borough is making contingency plans to permit certain activities, such as outdoor exercise classes, once the Governor transitions the disaster declaration for Allegheny County to the "yellow" phase. In the interim, a variety of ideas for home-based recreational activities have been posted here.

Cornerstone American institutions, including our cherished system of democracy, have been forced to adapt to the strange new reality of the Covid-19 pandemic. The principles of social distancing will also soon be temporarily applied to the ballot box, as, for the upcoming June 2nd primary, Allegheny County is encouraging all citizens to take advantage of a mail-in option to cast their choices for party nominees. To protect vulnerable poll workers from exposure, physical voting locations will be concurrently consolidated. For this election only, all Brentwood residents who choose to vote in person will do so at the Community Room in the rear of the Brentwood Library.

Effective May 4th, Waste Management has eliminated the majority of the restrictions that it implemented in response to the coronavirus outbreak. Residents are now once again permitted to dispose of properly bagged yard waste and one bulk item per week. The company will additionally remove oversized recyclables, such as cardboard boxes, if placed next to the designated bin. To protect employees from exposure to potentially contaminated kitchen waste and healthcare supplies, please continue to tightly seal your trash bags and to utilize cans to the greatest extent possible.
