It is the desire and intention of the municipal authorities
of the Forest Hills Borough, a municipality of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, situated in Allegheny County, to become a member of
the Wilkinsburg-Penn Joint Water Authority, which was incorporated
on the 4th day of October, 1945, by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
upon the application of the Borough of Wilkinsburg and the Township
of Penn, both municipalities of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
both situated in Allegheny County, under the provisions of the Municipality
Authorities Act of 1945, approved May 2, 1945, Act No. 164, said joinder
being under the provisions of the aforesaid statute and the provisions
of a Declaration of Trust dated December 21, 1945, which was executed
by the Wilkinsburg-Penn Joint Water Authority, the Borough of Wilkinsburg
and the Township of Penn and which is recorded in the office of the
Recorder of Deeds of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, in Deed Book
Vol. 2880, page 20.
[Ord. 268, 4/11/1947, § 2]
The Wilkinsburg-Penn Joint Water Authority has been organized as stated in § 1-701 and has acquired the water properties of the Pennsylvania Water Company with the permission of the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission in proceedings before the Commission at Application Docket No. 65, 840 of 1945, and is now engaged in supplying water to a number of communities in the County of Allegheny, Pennsylvania, including the Forest Hills Borough.
[Ord. 268, 4/11/1947, § 3]
The Wilkinsburg-Penn Joint Water Authority and the Borough of
Wilkinsburg and the Township of Penn, which created the said Water
Authority, executed a Declaration of Trust dated December 21, 1945,
and recorded in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of Allegheny County,
Pennsylvania, in Deed Book Vol. 2880, page 20, which authorizes the
admission to membership in the said Authority of the Forest Hills
Borough; provided, that said Borough by proper municipal action express
its desire to become a member of the Authority, take all steps necessary
to provide for its admittance thereto, and by proper municipal action
join in the aforesaid Declaration of Trust and agree to be bound by
all the obligations therein imposed upon the Borough of Wilkinsburg
and the Township of Penn. Upon such admission, the Forest Hills Borough
shall be entitled to management. Since the incorporation of the said
Wilkinsburg-Penn Joint Water Authority, the Borough of East Pittsburgh
has joined and become a member of said Authority.
[Ord. 268, 4/11/1947, § 4; as amended by Ord. 830,
3/18/1992]
The proper municipal officers of the Forest Hills Borough are
hereby authorized to take whatever action is required by the provisions
of the Municipality Authorities Act of 1945 and the aforesaid Declaration
of Trust to obtain the admission of the Forest Hills Borough to membership
in the Wilkinsburg-Penn Joint Water Authority and to designate from
time to time a resident of the Forest Hills Borough as a member of
the Board of said Authority representing the Forest Hills Borough.
[Ord. 268, 4/11/1947; as added by Ord. 698, 9/17/1980, § 1]
The term of existence of the Wilkinsburg-Penn Joint Water Authority
is increased to 50 years from the date of approval of this section.
[Ord. 635, 2/19/1975, § 1]
The Borough is predominantly a residential community and it
is the desire of most residents that it should remain so. The business
district contains a relatively small area, concentrated on both sides
of Ardmore Boulevard. In this area, many of the existing buildings
are old or aging and do not have adequate off-street parking facilities
to accommodate the present requirements of the business occupants
thereof, or the requirements for any additional growth or expansion,
notwithstanding the fact that the land is not utilized at its optimum
intensity for business use. Appropriate optimum utilization of the
land would increase the tax revenues produced by the business district
and would aid in maintaining the necessary municipal services to continue
the Borough as predominantly a community of homes. In order to make
optimum utilization of the available land in the business district,
the first requirement is to provide for adequate off-street parking
facilities. To this end, Council deems that the creation of a Parking
Authority for the Borough is in the public interest to exercise all
the powers and responsibilities provided for by law.
[Ord. 635, 2/19/1975, § 2]
