As Americans face an unprecedented health emergency, organizations of all sizes have made changes to the methods by which they conduct business. In order to protect both residents and staff from the spread of Covid-19, on March 16th, Mayor Troy declared a state of emergency. Originally, the Borough attempted to conduct its operations as normal to the greatest extent possible while concurrently limiting face-to-face interactions. Based upon Governor Wolf's decision to temporarily shutter all non-life-sustaining businesses, the Borough has made additional alterations. Please review the following:

  • The municipal building is officially closed to visitors. Administrative employees will be available via phone or email during standard business hours.
  • The Police Department is fully staffed, and officers will respond promptly to all emergency calls. However, to reduce the possibility of infection for all parties, officers will attempt to keep adequate distance from members of the public.
  • Non-emergency calls will be screened by the shift supervisor. If possible, all contact between the officer and the requesting party will take place over the phone. Residents can also file a non-emergency report electronically via the Crimewatch link from the homepage. 
  • The police clerical desk will not be staffed, but these employees have been temporarily reassigned to assist with much needed records management projects. Requests for police reports or to speak with a specific officer regarding an incident must be conducted via the phone. Accident reports can be acquired online through CrashDocs.
  • The Public Works Department will be split into two seprate teams, and members will be reporting for duty on alternating teams. Any maintenance activities that cannot be safely performed in compliance with distancing regulations will be suspended. 
  • Clerical staff will respond to sewage billing inquiries. Brentwood Bank has thus far been able to facilitate the continued collection of payments. The Borough has issued a moritorium on the use of water service termination notices until further notice.
  • Contracted vendor Waste Management will remove refuse and recyclables in accordance with the established schedule. However, the company is restricting its operations. Bulk items, such as furnishings and appliances, and yard waste are not presently being collected.
  • The Code Department has suspended all interior inspections. Parties to real estate transactions will be required to sign a form that defers such inspection until after closing. Permits will only be issued for zoning-related residential projects, such as the instalation of sheds and fences, or to contractors who have received a written waiver form the Governor's order. Code enforcement activities will be highly limited.
  • Brentwood Park has been closed to visitors, and all organized recreational activities have been cancelled. 

At its March 23rd meeting, Brentwood Borough Council adopted a resolution that extends the state of emergency for 30 days. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We're all in this together!

Due to the effects of the coronavirus, many organizations have been forced to alter their operations. Contracted vendor Waste Management is committed to removing residential trash and recyclables in accordance with the established schedule. However, in order to reduce the risk of employee infection, the company is temporarily suspending the collection of loose items. Until further notice, please adhere to the following

  • Place all refuse in a sealed bag. If you have a trash container, please use it to the greatest extent possible.
  • Bulk waste will not be collected. This category includes items such as furnishings, appliances, and rolled carpets. Please contact the Public Works Department regarding possible disposal options.
  • Yard waste will not be collected. Please contact the Public Works Department regarding possible disposal options.
  • Ensure that all recyclables fit within the confines of a designated bin.
  • Oversized recyclables will not be collected if placed separately next to your container. Cardboard and other packaging material must be broken down so as to fit within your bin.

Waste Management is implementing these restrictions in communities nationwide, and it is anticipated that they will be in place through at least the end of April.

The coronavirus will affect the physical and economic health of citizens of all nations. Brentwood Borough recognizes that, as businesses temporarily shut their doors to save lives, many residents will experience immediate cash flow concerns. Consequently, Council has authorized a one-time alteration to the due date for real estate tax payments. The 2% principal discount will be offered through June 30th. The deadline to submit payment without penalty has been pushed to August 31st.

For over 100 years, Brentwood Borough has served its residents from a structure at 3624 Brownsville Road. But in just six short months, our operations will shift to an all-new facility that is located one block to the south. The site that presently houses our municipal building is prime property, and Brentwood is committed to ensuring that it is redeveloped in a way that produces the maximum benefit for the community. Council specifically envisions that this parcel will be reused to house a combination of retail space and residential apartments. The Borough seeks to reach this outcome through a two-step process; prior to soliciting full bids, Brentwood will pre-qualify those firms that demonstrate a capacity to complete a project that will produce the greatest fiscal, economic, and social returns to our municipality. Interested developers may request a copy of the submittal requirements by contacting Borough Manager George Zboyovsky via email at gzboyovsky @ brentwoodboro.com and including the phrase "RFQ 2020-01: Existing Site Development Project" in the subject line. The legal notification associated with this project can be viewed here.

Brentwood Borough is pleased to be represented in Harrisburg by legislators who have demonstrated their steadfast committment to assisting their constituents in our community. In the spirit of this value, Senator Jim Brewster has established a reoccuring satellite office program at the Brentwood Library. Individuals who wish to discuss state-related issues with his friendly and knowledgable staff will no longer be required to make a drive to his McKeesport headquarters. Residents can instead drop by on the third Thursday of each month from 10AM to 2PM.

After more than a decade of community-oriented service, the board of the Brentwood Park Initiative has voted to cease operations. Founded as an informal group of volunteers in 2008 and later incorporated as a registered nonprofit organization in 2011, the BPI served as the catalyst to the comprehensive revitalization of our public park. The BPI will use its remaining resources to further enhance the beauty of this cherished space. In late 2019, Council authorized enhancements to the area surrounding the pavilion. The installation of a new walkway will improve access for visitors arriving via the main entrance to the athletic field area. Decorative landscaping will also further cement this facility's status as a cool reprieve from the heat during the blazing summer months. Just last week, Council approved a second project that will transform an underutilized piece of land. The traffic circle within the parking lot will be redesignated as a formal flagpole circle. The BPI will complement the existing pole with two additional such structures; new shrubs will surround these poles, which will be placed in a stately triangular pattern. In this front of this space, the BPI will place a large embossed bolder that will formally welcome guests to our facility. Brentwood laments the loss of this civic organization, but our municipality is pleased that, through these donations, the BPI will make a further tangible impact on the quality of our park.
