Body

WHEREAS, at a meeting held in Wilkinsburg on January 21, 1949, the Allegheny County Boroughs Association was formally organized; and

WHEREAS, principally established to promote borough government, the Association also cooperates with other quasi-public organizations and civic groups for the general improvement of local government; and

 

WHEREAS, the Association provides its members with information and assistance on problems affecting the operations of their boroughs; and

 

WHEREAS, through fiscal responsibility and active participation from Board members, the Association is financially stable and well-prepared for the future;    

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Allegheny County Council does hereby recognize the continued good works of the Allegheny County Boroughs Association and we join in celebrating the organization's 60th anniversary.
