VIDEO: Outgoing Manager Mary McGinley said goodbye on Tuesday night.
Rob Zahorchak will become the newest manager of Baldwin Township on April 2, replacing Mary McGinley, who attended her final township Board of Commissioners meeting as manager on Tuesday night. Zahorchak was also at the meeting—his first—in the role of assistant to the township manager, a position that he assumed on Monday until McGinley retires at the end of the month. McGinley has served as the manager/secretary of the small municipality in Pittsburgh's South Hills area for the past 38 years and said goodbye on Tuesday, thanking her fellow township employees and welcoming Zahorchak. "It's been a great 38 years," McGinley said. "I've enjoyed working here tremendously." She called Baldwin Township "a safe place to live (and) raise a family…

For now, the township's property tax rate remains the same.
Concerned over how Allegheny County officials will rule on property value appeals—including ones from Baldwin Township property owners—the township's Board of Commissioners has decided to hold off on finalizing Baldwin's 2013 budget. The commissioners, acting on a recommendation from township solicitor Tom McDermott, made that decision by way of a 4-0 vote at their meeting on Tuesday night. (Commissioner Nick Pellegrino was absent.) County officials aren't expected to finish making decisions on property value appeals stemming from a court-ordered countywide real estate reassessment until late December, so the Baldwin Township Board of Commissioners will have to wait until at least then to make a final decision on the township's 2013 …

A quasi-update on the Mt. Lebanon outdoor athletics complex, dates and times for Halloween and Christmas celebrations are announced, a bus stop signs update, and more.
Residents Will Be Notified of Mt. Lebanon Complex Updates Baldwin Township Board of Commissioners member Bob Downey said in an interview after a board meeting on Tuesday night that township officials have not received an update from Mt. Lebanon officials yet regarding their plans (or even lack thereof) for the development an outdoor athletics complex on the Baldwin Township border. The approximately 23-acre-large "McNeilly Park" complex will include "less than probably even a quarter of an acre" of Baldwin Township land—according to Mt. Lebanon's Municipal Planner Keith McGill—but some Baldwin officials and other area municipal leaders have still expressed concern over how the park will affect non-Mt. Lebanonites. Downey said that, should …

Eleven-year-old girls ask Baldwin Township Board to consider a trap-and-neuter program for area cats.
Killing two cats at a home on Donaldson Drive will certainly stop those two from breeding, but it won't solve a larger Baldwin Township problem of stray and feral cats. Regardless, there's a better way to prevent unwanted breeding. Those were the arguments presented by two 11-year-old girls—South Hills residents Tehla Dakota and Kialiegh Davis—and a host of accompanying adults at a Baldwin Township Board of Commissioners meeting on Monday night. The girls' group—a coalition of local animal rights advocates and experts—came to the commissioners' meeting on Monday in response to comments made by Randy Balzer, a township resident from Donaldson Drive, at a June 5 board meeting. Balzer claimed to have killed two stray cats on his property by "…

Web Update The saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." But the Baldwin Township Board of Commissioners has decided to upgrade the township's website anyway. As board President Eileen Frisoli said, "We needed it done." On Tuesday night, the commissioners unanimously agreed on the latest of motions aimed at executing a website redesign project for Baldwin Township that should improve residents' awareness of municipal activities and policies, including having the township's code of ordinances available in a searchable format similar to Baldwin Borough's. "(The township code has) always been on the site (as a PDF)," Commissioner John Paravati said. "It's just hard to find. The whole site's getting completely redone. It's going to be a …

And more notes from a March 6 board of commissioners meeting.
Sewage Rate Rises About $5 Per Month By a unanimous vote, the Baldwin Township Board of Commissioners decided on Tuesday night to raise the sewage rate in the township by $1 per every 1,000 gallons used—from $4.50 to $5.50. The reason for the increase, Commissioner Nick Pellegrino said, is to help fund pending repairs to be made to the McNeilly Road sewage system, though which Baldwin Township, Dormont Borough, Mt. Lebanon and Pittsburgh residents send sewage. Baldwin sewage accounts for the smallest part of the McNeilly system, Baldwin Township Manager Mary McGinley said, and thus, the township will be the least financially responsible for the repairs of the four municipalities. Nevertheless, the repairs will be costly enough that the …
