This could have been in Mt. Lebanon

Today, famous skateboarder Tony Hawk is coming to Carnegie's new skatepark, built in memory of Mary Pitcher's two sons. Carnegie firms up arrangements for Hawk appearance

I am so happy for Mary; her vision has become a reality. Mary had come to Mt. Lebanon when Dave Brumfield was president in 2012. The deal was a sweet one. 85% of the cost of the $600,000 project was donated.

Pitcher Park going to...

Unfortunately, Dave's arrogance and desire to concentrate on field sports, enabled Mary to make an easy decision. I am thankful, however, through discussions between Dave and my son, skateboarders are now permitted to skateboard on sidewalks or streets in Mt. Lebanon.

Congratulations, Mary Pitcher and Carnegie!

Sports Advisory, JMA, and other goodies

Mt. Lebanon is looking for residents to fill two vacancies on Dave Brumfield's new Sports Advisory Board. There are two at-large positions available. For more information visit Sports Advisory Board vacancies

According to the Monday, January 28, 2013 Discussion Session Agenda, the Joint Maintenance Agreement is up for discussion. The JMA extension expired last month. The big question is "Did the YSA pay up?" The starting time for the Commission Discussion Session is 6:30 PM.

Additionally, a Skateboard Ordinance and a Residential electricity broker will be discussed.

Skateboarding is illegal everywhere in Mt. Lebanon. There is no 21 Club for kids cited for skateboarding.

I have been asking the Commission for two years now if residents could get a group rate from an electricity broker. It can be done, but turf and deer management have been higher priorities. We could save money on our electric bills instead of constantly shopping for electricity suppliers.

Also planned is a review of the President/Vice President selection process. A heads up. There is no rotation, except Vice President to President. See Something is up UPDATED

Don't leave at the end of the Discussion Session. More fun is planned at the Commission meeting. The agenda includes a proposal to direct the proper municipal officials to solicit proposals and conduct two deer surveys in 2013; the first to be conducted in February, or as early as possible, and the second to be conducted in November.
