The Municipality of H PENN HILLS A HOME RULE COMMUNITY Mayor's Message FIRE STATION Penn Hills Fire Marshal Charles Miller - cmiller@pennhillspa.gov Fire Station Hall Rental 412 243-1892 By Mayor Pauline Calabrese As the Mayor of Penn Hills, someone once asked me, "how many peo- ple work at the municipal building?" I said, "about half." I know, I know, that's an old joke and it definitely does not apply to our employees. Still, many residents of Penn Hills have questions about the municipal- ity and/or are in need of a dedicated source of information. So starting today, in addition to our website, information will be published here on a regular basis. PARKS & RECREATION OFFICE 412-798-2147 POLICE Tip Line: 412-342-0922 Emergencies Dial 911 In this introductory article, it is important to point out that Penn Hills is the largest suburb outside of Pittsburgh. We are not simply "one big neighborhood." Rather, we have close to thirty neighborhoods and border ten communities. We have over 40,000 residents. Our land mass is large enough to include three golf courses. In fact, we are so large, we have more than one zip code. We border the City of Pittsburgh, Oakmont, Plum, and Monro- PUBLIC WORKS (412) 798-2151 Scott Shepard - DPW Superintendent sshepard@pennhillspa.gov John Scaglione - DPW Assistant Superintendent jscaglione@pennhillspa.gov eville, just to name a few. Penn Hills is governed by Home Rule Charter, which is the document that forms our local government. Under this document, we are governed by one mayor and four members of council. However, the day- to-day operations of the municipality are performed by a professional administrative staff, including a municipal manager. The mayor and council are elected officials, not full-time employees of the mu- nicipality. "Council" is comprised of myself, Deputy Mayor Frank Pecora and three other members of council - Catherine Sapp, James Getsy and JoAnn Fascio. Unlike some communities, where only coun- cil members are permitted to vote on matters, in Penn Hills, the mayor and deputy mayor also have voting power. The primary functions of council are to draft/approve ordinances (which are local laws) and draft/approve an annual budget.

Among the departments are Code Enforcement, Finance, Planning, Parks and Recreation, Public Works, and Water Pollution Con- trol. We also have Emergency Services, including police, fire and EMS/paramedic services. Many other communities do not directly fund such services. For public safety, while some communities rely on the State Police, we in Penn Hills have one of the largest Police Departments in Allegheny County, which is headed by our newly appointed Chief Ronald Como. Our Fire Department is comprised of six fire stations, each with its own chief, and staffed by dedicated volunteer firefighters. As for emergency medical services, we have an EMS Department, making Penn Hills one of the few communities to di- rectly fund such services. Outside of Pittsburgh, we are the only municipality to offer Senior Services.
