This public hearing was followed by a resolution to approve the Capital Improvements Program as listed below. The Penn Hills Capital Improvements Program is a useful tool for the future growth ofl Penn Hills and The Penn Hills Charter requires that the Capital Improvements Program be adopted in September followed by the adoption oft the Annual Budget in December. Itis the intent of the Charter that Mayor and Council adopt long range plans and objectives for the orderly growth of the Municipality. The plan provides a link between the Municipality's Comprehensive Plan and the Annual Budget. These plans and objectives are prepared for public review in the form of the Annual Capital Improvements Program. The Capital Improvements Program represents the long- range expenditures for street reconstruction, recreation, sanitary sewers, storm sewers and Inj preparation oft the annual budget, Department Directors begin to assess proposed expenditures and projects for the coming year, The Capital Program is a useful tool in the preparation oft the annual budget. The total Funding Sources and Department expenses are located on the first page of the Capital Program. As a result, the first page illustrates the total Capital Program for all departments, the funding sources and the current shortfalls in funding where projects may need to be extended over al longer period oftime or additional funds obtained through grants or ani increase in the Capital Fund. Each Department's proposed expenses are then listed below with individual line items. Street reconstruction for example is located in the Public Works Department on one line. With the addition of CDBG Street Reconstruction below, the total Street Reconstruction The list of projects and vehicles is fairly conservative and represents the basic needs of each department. Department Directors submit a realistic list of items and vehicles necessary to maintain the current fleet. The intent is to grow the Capital Fund over time. The current capital program is funded with a $500,000.00 commitment from Mayor and Council. During budget time in coming months, perhaps Mayor and Council will increase the contribution to the Capital Fund. For 2021,2022 and 2023 the Capital Program received an injection of stimulus funding from the American Rescue Plan. A significant amount of the stimulus funding was expended on Capital Improvements including park improvements, building safety, continued improvements for the sanitary sewer system, stormwater improvements, waterlines and other utilities. One could imagine a time when a large project might be placed in the Capital Program like a recreation complex or sewage treatment plant. We have built a new. library, public works garage and municipal building. Perhaps there is a recreation complex in Penn Hills' future. It would be listed in the Capital Program and then we would seek out additional funding sources to balance the projects and funding sources to pay fori it. This is a working document that will be updated as  preparation of the 2024. Annual Budget.  equipment with a useful life greater than two years for the next 5 years.  Capital Budget is $6,083,333.00 over the next 5 years.  additional grants and projects arise.  2    BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS:  Building Security Improvements will continue into 2024 utilizing various funding sources for the Government Center, Library, Senior Service Center and other public buildings. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed a lack of security and social distancing for the safety of both municipal employees and the public. In addition, general security for the building was lacking int the original Security Improvements will allow thej public toi interact with municipal employees more safely and  design.  efficiently while adding additional security to municipal owned buildings.  STREET IMPROVEMENTS:  Penn Hills received a Grant from the State of Pennsylvania Multimodal Transportation Fund for $3,000,000.00 in 2019 an additional Multi-Modal Grant for $2,500,000.00 in 2020. for street reconstruction and othertransportation improvements. These funds combined withi matching funds from Penn Hills and the Community Development Program will result in $6,083,333.00 in street reconstruction and transportation improvements over the next five years. Penn Hills will submit another application for Multi-Modal and other sources of funding in 2024 and beyond to continue  with the robust street reconstruction program.  SIDEWALKS:  Thel Planning Department will continue to require the construction ofs sidewalks when newi private development takes place. As new opportunities materialize, the municipality would hope fori new sidewalks on Frankstown, Rodi, Saltsburg and Universal, particularly where new sidewalks would fill missing links and promotel higher pedestrian activity. Thel Municipality of Penn Hills received a Federal grant in 2023 with a focus on the Rodi Road Corridor for the completion of missing sidewalk links, accessible ramps, repair of existing sidewalks, installation of crossing improvements and other activities to improve the safety ofRodi Road for pedestrians.  3    PUBLIC WORKS:  Besides the Street reconstruction projects described above, the Department of Public Works is expected to undertake other major capital projects in 2023 and 2024 with thel Miscellaneous Storm Sewerl Repair projects on Southern and Joan. In addition, thel Department will continue toj perform in house paving, storm sewer: maintenance, and other projects ini its efforts to "Making Penn Hills In the coming years covered by the Capital Program the Public Works Department has requested funding to purchase a supervisor vehicle, one 5-ton truck and plow per year to keep the fleet in working order, a 34 ton pickup truck, an asphalt roller, and al bucket truck to replace existing older vehicles in the Department of Public Works fleet. In addition, they intend to purchase a woodchipper to replace the existing woodchipper that has come toi the end ofi its useful life. Penn Hills received a DEP grant in 2022 for the purchase of a 5-ton truck, front loader and backhoe. The front loader and backhoe will be delivered in 2023. We will apply for another grant to Future capital Improvements include additional storm sewer work, increased funding for streets, sidewalks including missing links on.

There are 10 parks with playground and recreation equipment, a skatepark and dog park. The Assistant Superintendent of Public Works and Recreation Director proposes miscellaneous recreation and accessibility improvements to local parks utilizing local funding, matching funds from the State, stimulus funds and other grants. Each of the parks is  unique and has its own opportunities for recreation and open space.  In2 2023, the Recreation Department installed new accessible pavilions, picnic tables, parking pads and accessible ramps at Universal Park providing accessible access to all residents of Penn Hills with the assistance ofa grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Future improvements will include the installation ofr new accessible picnic tables an In addition, the Recreation Department installed new playground equipment atl Ross,  grills.  and Meadow Parks with new playground equipment and: safety surfaces. Future years willi include the installation oft new playground equipment and safety surfaces at. Penn View andI Lee Parks.  Pickleball courts are in high demand throughout the region. Future years of the Capital Program will include pickleball courts at Duff Park and other locations yet to be determined. Inaddition, thel Recreation Department is proposing to install an accessible playground at Penn Hills Park, new paving at Universal Park a splash pad a Turner Friendship Park, and improvements to the skatepark and dog park. The splashpad at' Turner Friendship Parkl has been a long time in the making. This exciting project will add a water feature to the many activities offered by Penn Hills Recreation and provide fun for all ages and abilities during hot summer days. Universal and Penn Hills Community Park receive the highest number of participants throughout the season. Universal Park is proposed to receive repavingofp parking and access roads as well as thei installation ofaccessibler restrooms  and a new concession stand. Once complete Universal and Penn Hills Park will provide  recreational opportunities to all Penn Hills Residents with all abilities.  6    WATER POLLUTION CONTROL:  In1 1998, a Federal Consent Decree was negotiated and signed. This Consent Decree required numerous actions tol bet taken to improve the Penn Hills sewer system. Thel Municipality submitted a Plan of Actions to the DEP on March 29, 1999, in accordance with the requirements of the In 2008, the Federal Consent Decree was dismissed, and the Municipality entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (COA) with the PA DEP. The consent order was similar to those entered into with other ALCOSAN serviced communities. The consent order required internal sewer televising, manhole inspections, structure dye testing and hydraulic analysis of the entire Penn Hills sewage collection system as well as completion of certain capital projects. By 2016, under the COA, all of the structures in the Penn Hills were dye tested to eliminate illegal storm water connections and all sewer lines had been televised to determine where repairs were required. Repair oft thej problem sewer areas discovered by the sewer televising was then initiated. In February 2016, Penn Hills executed al First Amendment with the PA DEP terminating the 2008 COA. Concurrently, the Municipality entered into a Phase I COA with the PA DEP which contained al limited scope of obligations which include conducting a source reduction study and a In October 2019, the Municipality entered into an. Administrative Consent Order (ACO) with the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) for violations at the Plum Creek Sewage Treatment Plant. The corrective actions outlined include the replacement of existing UV disinfection unit and controls upgrades for the Jodie Lane Equalization Facility. These projects were completed in the summer of 2022. All terms and conditions of the Administrative Consent Since 2008, the Municipality has spent over $23 million on sewer improvements. This does not include thei many millions ofdollars spent complying with the prior 1998 Federal Consent Decree.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT:  Penn Hills partnered with Oakmont, Verona and Plum on an Active Allegheny Grant to fund a feasibility study for a Verona, Oakmont, Penn! Hills, Plum Trail Connector that would connect the Allegheny Riverfront to Boycel Park. The study was completed in the Spring of2020. The study is useful in our efforts to apply for additional funding for land acquisition, development and The proposed trail will begin at Steel City Rowing and pass by Riverside Park in Verona, Creekside Park in Oakmont, Penn Hills and Milltown Parks in Penn Hills and then on to Plum Creek Park to Boyce Park in Plum. Penn Hills recently acquired a mile of abandoned railroad right of way land for the trail in the vicinity of Milltown Community Park and Oakmont acquired several miles ofrailroad right ofwayi in Oakmont and Plum. Penn Hills received a $1,173,000.00 Trail Development Fund Grant in 2022 for the design and engineering for the entire 141 mile trail. In2 2023, thel Planning Department received an additional $70,000.00 grant fort thel Milltown Portion of the Trail from the Commonwealth Financing Authority. In addition, the Planning Department applied for a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for  construction; and is available ont the Penn Hills website.  the construction oft thel Milltown portion ofthet trail. We will continue toj pursue: state and federal funding opportunities for all portions oft the trail. Relying on state and federal money we continue to propose long range plans to acquire riverfront property for al bikeway, trail, boat access ramp, and riverfront park in addition to the trail to Boyce Park. We will continue to apply for grants throughout the years of the Capital Program for both acquisition and development funds if an opportunity emerges. The Penn Hills Planning and Recreation Departments will continue to work with the Fish and Boat Commission, local community groups and organizations, and the Friends of the  AKMON VERONA Steel Rowing CIey:  PLUM  PENNHILLS  Riverfront towards this effort.  8    THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM:  Approximately 3.51 million dollars is projected to become available over the next five years for the Penn Hills Community Development Program. FY2024 will be the 50th year for a Penn Hills CDBG Program. It is 100% federally funded. CDBG hearings will take place in March and Mayor and Council will adopt the CDBG Action Plan and budget separately from the Capital Program and Capital Budget in. June of2024. The CDBG Program funds a wide variety of projects designed to benefit low- and moderate-income residents of Penn Hills. The low/mod areas include block groups where greater than 51% of the residents are low income. They are highlighted in yellow on the adjacent map. Current Capital Improvements include Street Reconstruction, accessibility Improvements at the Lincoln Road Multi- Purpose Center, the Penn Hills Senior Citizen's Center, and the William McKinley Citizen's Center. FUTURE UNFUNDED ACTIVITIES:  MUNICIPALITY OFF PENNHILLS.A ALLEGHENYO COUNTY, PA 20190 CDBGE ELIGIBLEE BLOCK GROUPS  There are several projects that are proposed but unfunded and not listed in the 2024-2028 Capital Improvements Program.
