Chief Executive Dan Onorato’s Veto of Council Bill 5154-09, entitled,
An Ordinance approving the sale of certain real property owned by the
County of Allegheny, Pennsylvania to a development group comprised of:
Massaro Properties LLC; Langholz Wilson Ellis, Inc.; Kratsa Properties; and
Tasso Katselas Associates, Inc. for the sale price of $4,900,000.00 for the
purpose of demolishing the current building located thereon and constructing a
new development including a hotel, office building, and parking garage.
This
memorandum is to inform you that on Friday, November 6, 2009, Chief Executive
Dan Onorato returned to me, with his veto, Council Bill 5154-09 referenced
above.
Attached
is a copy of the bill and Chief Executive Onorato’s written objection to the
bill.
Article
IV, Section 5(b) of the Home Rule Charter provides that County Council may
override a Chief Executive veto by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds
of the Seated Members of Council and that the override vote must occur within
30 days of the veto, which means that Sunday, December 6, 2009, is the last day
you could consider a vote to override the veto, otherwise the veto would be
sustained.
A
hardcopy of this information will be placed in your mailbox.
