Details
City of Latrobe Council Meeting is held on the 2nd Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers of the Municipal Building.

Agenda:
A. Public Works and Personnel:
1. Motion to approve the full promotional appointments of Police Officers, Lieutenant Michael Wigand, Corporal Michelle Preston, Corporal Matthew Reeves and Corporal Jacob Cholock. In accordance with the Civil Service regulations governing promotional appointments within the City of Latrobe Police Department, the completion of the probationary period requires formal action by the Mayor and City Council to approve the officers to their full promotional positions. Police Chief Bosco officially recommends that Mayor and Council after careful review, observation, and evaluation throughout their probationary terms that the officers have satisfactorily fulfilled the responsibilities and expectations associated with their respective promotional appointments. Over the course of the past year, each of the officers has demonstrated the professionalism, leadership, and operational competency expected of their respective ranks. During the probationary period, they have performed the preliminary supervisory and leadership duties associated with their positions while continuing to meet the standards of service expected by this department and the community we serve.

B. Administration and Finance:

1. Motion to introduce Ordinance 2026-4 which is the fee ordinance to add the commercial recycling rates/fees. The City, via our new Sanitation and Recycling program which began on January 1, 2026, needs to establish commercial recycling rates. There are approximately 300 local businesses in our community which are subject to the recycling rates for mandatory recycling pick-up which will occur via our contracted hauler, Noble Environmental. Additionally, we need to add a fee for handicapped permit parking spaces of $50 per space to the fee ordinance. This fee is paid when a resident requests a handicapped parking space sign and fee covers the cost of the signage.
2. Motion to approve Resolution 2026-14 for adoption of the Westmoreland County Hazard Mitigation Plan.
3. Motion to approve an agreement to provide natural gas through Snyder Brothers for $4.95 per dekatherm for a three-year term from April 2026 through March 2029 for city municipal building and the four fire stations. Our previous contract with Snyder Brothers for gas service cost was $4.64 per dekatherm. We need authorization for the City Manager to sign off on the contract in case the price decreases from approval until signature as the natural gas markets change rapidly.
4. Motion to approve a proposal from SafeCide Wetlands and Pest Management from Pittsburgh, PA for mosquito control for the city wetlands for April through August 2026 for $2,750. This is a 10% increase from the previous year. If weather conditions favor an extension of the mosquito breeding season into September or October, SafeCide will treat the sites for $550-$800 per month but only after an on-site consultation with City representatives about conditions and needs. Payments will occur in five monthly installments of $550 from April through August 2026 totaling $2,750.
