2 HISTORY

Over the last two hundred years, the land that encompasses Brentwood Borough has transitioned through multiple stages of development. The first European settlers entered what was then a rural hinterland during the mid-1700s. These industrious and independent farmers participated in the tax revolt known as the , which served as a major test of the newly restructured federal government under the Constitution. In the Nineteenth Century, small hamlets sprouted along the busy Brownsville Road trade corridor, while the rolling hills of the present day Borough were concurrently mined for coal to feed ’s burgeoning industries.

In 1901, a major streetcar line was extended to the edge of Carrick, a former borough and current Pittsburgh neighborhood that became popular with middle class city dwellers who sought larger homes and green space. New construction soon spilled over into the northeastern corner of our community. In order to hasten infrastructural developments, the residents of Brentwood separated from the then largely rural Baldwin Township to form an independent municipality. COMMUNITY SNAPSHOT The completion of the Liberty Tunnels in 1928 significantly reduced travel time between Brentwood Area: 1.4 sq. mi. and Downtown Pittsburgh and led to a ten-year suburban development boom. A second period of Population: 9,664 major expansion occurred during the fifteen years following the conclusion of World War II, as returning Households: 4,268 veterans and newly prosperous skilled laborers sought a comfortable sliver of the American Dream. Homeownership Rate: 63.9%

Today, Brentwood Borough is a mature municipality Median Family Income: $58,586 with a dense collection of attractive homes, a stable small business community, and an excellent Median Home Value: $91,300 transportation infrastructure. Although Brentwood residents are proud of their heritage, they look Median Monthly Rent: $630 resolutely toward the future, and welcome the new citizens and commercial establishments that keep our Total Businesses: 587 borough in a constant state of transformation. Mean Travel Time to Work: 28.7 min.

3 ABOUT BOROUGH GOVERNMENT: ELECTED OFFICIALS

In Brentwood Borough, it is the people who ultimately rule. Through the electoral process, our citizens delegate the responsibility to directly make policy choices to the Borough Council . Functioning as our community’s governing body, Council consists of seven civically-minded individuals who are chosen at-large by voters for four-year terms. Members of Council are charged with the complex duty to implement the will of the public in a manner that produces maximum benefits while minimizing risk for both current residents and future generations.

Decisions of Council may take the form of ordinances , which are codified as local laws; these regulations can address a wide variety of topics, such as tax rates, parking restrictions, property standards, construction procedures, or public conduct. Council conducts administrative business through the issuance of resolutions , which can be used to ratify contracts, release funding, employ procedural standards, or approve personnel appointments.

Brentwood adheres to a council-manager form of government . Under this framework, our part-time Councilors select a professional Borough Manager to supervise daily operations and to provide policy guidance and insight. In many regards, this system mirrors the corporate structure whereby a board of directors employs a chief executive officer to consolidate ideas into a cohesive plan for future action.

MEMBERS OF COUNCIL

Top Row (L to R): Charlie Johnson, Ann Schade, Clyde Zimmerman, Pat Carnevale Bottom Row (L to R): Marty Vickless, Rich Schubert, George Owens

The power of Council and salaried municipal employees is checked by the community’s most visible official: the Borough Mayor . The Mayor is charged with ensuring that the laws of the Borough are faithfully enforced and that policy decisions are properly and efficiently implemented. In his executive capacity, the Mayor is afforded the ability to veto any Council decision and is tasked with breaking tied legislative votes. Additionally, the Mayor is the titular head of the Police Department and is responsible for providing citizen supervision of the agency. Mayor Ken Lockhart

4 ABOUT BOROUGH GOVERNMENT: DEPARTMENTS

While Council is charged with setting our community’s policy priorities, our professional staff administers the implementation of these choices. The Borough Manager provides executive oversight of operations and works to ensure that services are delivered in a fair and efficient manner. Manager George Zboyovsky performs a diverse array of tasks, from crunching complex figures in the computation of the annual budget to performing long range needs assessments, in order to keep our borough running smoothly.

The hardworking staff of the Department of Administration assists the Borough Manager in executing policy by performing clerical duties and responding promptly to citizen inquiries. Our administrative assistants are tasked with compiling meeting minutes, organizing municipal code books, inventorying supplies, and conveying correspondence to both outside governmental agencies and the general public. The department is also responsible for collecting delinquent sewage and property maintenance fees.

The Department of Building Inspection/Code Enforcement ensures the fair application of building and zoning codes. Our building code official is charged with issuing permits, performing construction inspections, and reviewing development plans. An assistant code officer works to preserve property values and citizen safety by issuing notices to abate code violations. Additionally, the department coordinates meetings of the Planning Commission and Zoning Hearing Board, as well as directs our rental registration and licensing program.

Two critical roles are performed by the Department of Finance/Human Resources. Our director safeguards the public’s money from imprudent spending by overseeing the flows of revenues and expenditures, tracking monetary assets and liabilities, and supervising purchasing. Additional obligations include generating fiscal forecasts and authoring requests for state or federal grant funding. Human resource responsibilities range from negotiating labor contracts to conducting interviews for positional vacancies.

The skilled laborers of the Department of Public Works see to the infrastructural needs of our community. Services of the department include repairing roadways and curbs, mounting and managing signs, clearing snow and ice from public streets, inspecting stormwater and sewer lines, and maintaining civic facilities. Our supervisor also works closely with the municipal engineer to oversee major construction projects.

5 ABOUT BOROUGH GOVERNMENT: EMERGENCY SERVICES

Protecting the public from harm to life, property, or peace of mind is a top priority of our management team. As a Brentwood resident, you can rest assured that our three emergency response agencies are on call 24 hours per day and 7 days per week to provide a professional helping hand in your time of need.

The Brentwood Police Department serves as an integral pillar of borough government. The members of our force possess a firm understanding of federal, state, and local law, are skilled in the latest tactical procedures. Although our officers are prepared to combat intense crisis situations, they are never too busy to personally assist residents with addressing everyday traffic and safety concerns. Because of Chief Robert Butelli’s commitment to taking a proactive approach to averting illegal activities in our community, our citizens enjoy a low crime rate and a high quality of life. The Brentwood Police Department also helps to maintain our status as a walkable community by employing crossing guards to protect pedestrians from vehicular collisions and a parking enforcement squad to deter the unlawful storage of vehicles in our vibrant commercial corridors.

While many first response agencies have been subject to mergers, Brentwood EMS remains focuses solely on the needs of our citizenry. This independent organization features a highly trained and courteous staff, modern vehicles, and advanced lifesaving devices. In addition to responding to medical emergencies, Brentwood EMS assists police and fire crews at accident and crime scenes and transports patients safely and quickly for non-emergency treatment.

The members of the Brentwood Volunteer Fire Company embody the epitome of the term “community” by choosing to sacrifice their time and put their lives on the line to offer aid to their neighbors. Our local department not only provides prompt response to fires and traffic accidents but also seeks to educate the public on crucial safety tips so as to prevent these tragedies from occurring.

6 ABOUT BOROUGH GOVERNMENT: BOARDS & COMMISSIONS

Through our municipality’s boards and commissions, Brentwood Borough gives its citizens a direct voice in making critical planning decisions. These civically-minded individuals volunteer their time for the betterment of our community.

The three-member Civil Service Commission insulates Police Department personnel determinations from political pressure. The board meets on an as-needed basis to provide independent oversight of the hiring and promotion processes. The body reviews candidate credentials for police officer testing and makes recommendations to Council based upon exam results.

Advisory decisions on land use are adjudicated by the Planning Commission . This committee is charged with approving site plans for new structural developments and parcel subdivisions. Any activity that is only permitted under the Brentwood Zoning Code as a conditional use is contingent upon board approval. These seven individuals thoroughly examine proposals to ensure that the applicant takes the necessary steps to abate any potential detrimental impact of the use on our community. Proposed changes to borough zoning ordinances, whether requested by a property developer or our elected officials, are subject to a public hearing before this body.

Brentwood Borough, along with the abutting suburbs of Baldwin and Whitehall, participates in a multi-municipal Shade Tree Commission . Each community appoints three representatives to this body, which works to maintain our urban tree population so to enhance air quality, improve storm water management, and increase the aesthetic appeal of our neighborhood

Citizens occasionally dispute determinations of the borough’s Building Code Official before the Uniform Construction Code Appeal Board . This commission, which consists of three construction professionals, meets to hear challenges of violation letters, citations, and building permit denials.

The five-member Zoning Hearing Board convenes monthly to rule on requests for variances from the stipulations of the Brentwood Zoning Code. A property owner may ask for a variance if he or she believes that the requirements of the zoning ordinance impose an unnecessary hardship that restricts legitimate usage of a parcel. This body also considers requests for special exemptions from zoning regulations.

Real estate owners in Brentwood Borough will receive an annual property tax bill. The value of each home and business is computed periodically by the Allegheny County Department of Real Estate, and the Borough then sets its tax levy and charges landowners based upon a percentage of this value. Property taxes are calculated by using a much misunderstood measure called a “mil,” which is equal to 1/1000 th of a dollar. Under this system, for example, if a parcel is assessed at $100,000, then the property owner will be required to pay $100 for each mil that is levied by a government entity. The 2013 Brentwood Borough tax rate is 7.5 mils, of which 0.5 mils are reserved for the operation of the Brentwood Library. Allegheny County and the Brentwood School District also attain funds via real estate taxation.

In Pennsylvania, the office of Real Estate Tax Collector is an elected position in each municipality. Fay Boland, a local accountant with a multitude of experience in public sector financing, serves in this capacity for Brentwood Borough. For questions regarding your real estate tax bill, please call 412-884-4829.

Brentwood residents who are presently employed are also subject to a 1% local earned income tax. Commonly referred to as a wage tax, this levy is calculated based upon each individual’s salary and is generally collected via payroll deductions. The tax is also applied to the net profits of any business but is not levied on income generated from investments or government benefits. Citizens are required to file an annual tax return with the Berkheimer & Associates; for more information on earned income tax payments, contact their local office at 412-881-3075.

In order to ensure adequate funding for emergency response operations, Brentwood Borough also collects a flat rate local services tax from each individual who earns an income of at least $12,000 within the boundaries of the municipality. This $52 per year fee is also collected by Berkheimer & Associates.

15 DOG LICENSE

The Borough of Brentwood does not require pet owners to attain a municipal license. However, Allegheny County mandates the registration of all dogs. The county dog licensing program has helped to reunite countless missing pooches with their worried owners. Residents can obtain the annual application at our borough building or by accessing http://www.alleghenycounty.us/ treasure/dog.aspx . Pennsylvania also permits citizens to acquire a discounted license that is valid for the entire tenure that a dog is kept within a given county. This license is contingent upon the implantation by a veterinarian of an informational microchip. This tiny, painless piece of technology permanently stores owner contact data.

Because our dwellings are tightly spaced, nuisance dogs can cause great frustration to our neighbors. Please respect your fellow residents by preventing dogs from journeying into adjoining yards or excessively barking. Remove pet waste promptly from exterior property areas. Brentwood residents are prohibited from keeping in excess of four dogs in a residence.

PERMITS & PROPERTY CODES

Interested in performing renovations on your new property? Brentwood Borough requires a permit for all construction activity; exceptions are only provided for minor maintenance jobs, such as window replacement or existing sidewalk repair. The permitting regulations extend to several items that are exempt in some of our peer communities, such as roof refurbishment, driveway expansion, or fence installation. Please contact the Department of Building Inspection & Code Enforcement prior to commencing your project.

Brentwood also stringently enforces all local property maintenance ordinances. Although no community is immune from problem parcels, the vast majority of our violations are minor. However, a multitude of small infractions can add up to reduce quality of life. New residents should be aware that garbage and recycling cannot be place at the curbside until 5PM on the day preceding collection. Grass and similar vegetation cannot exceed eight inches in height. Snow and ice must be removed from sidewalks within four hours. Additionally, vehicles with expired inspection or registration tags may not be stored in our community, while boats and trailers may only be placed in a garage or rear driveway.

16 SCHOOLS

Residents of Brentwood Borough are afforded the opportunity to enroll their children in a community-oriented school system that is strongly committed to providing our youths with a rigorous and well-rounded education. While the era of the neighborhood school has passed in most sections of the county, the Brentwood School District remains focuses solely on providing for the unique needs of our municipality. Instead of enduring long bus rides and crowded classrooms, the sons and daughters of Brentwood are able to travel to a school that is within walking distance and that is small enough to allow for each child to receive individualized attention from teachers and staff. In addition to providing challenging academic lessons and a safe learning environment, the district also features a strong athletic tradition and an array of exciting extracurricular activities.

Brentwood Borough also contains one private institution within its boundaries. St. Sylvester’s Catholic School delivers an outstanding education in an intimate parochial environment. A vital community partner, this school serves children through Grade 8; older students may subsequently transition into Seton-La Salle High School in nearby Mount Lebanon.

LIBRARY

The Brentwood Public Library presents children and adults alike with a chance to stimulate their minds by accessing our extensive collection. Items can be viewed and checked out at no cost upon the acquisition of a free Allegheny County Library Card. With this simple piece of plastic, residents can immerse themselves in the latest popular novels, become versed in a new subject through our nonfiction texts, keep up on current events at our periodicals counter, or perform research over our high speed internet connection. Our knowledgeable staff is always available to happily provide assistance with locating materials.

The library is more than just a storehouse for books; rather, it is a beloved community destination. Our staff devises a busy schedule of exciting activities, including movies, music, discussion groups, literature clubs, children’s hours, and much more!

17 RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Despite our location in a compact and urbanized environment, Brentwood Borough maintains the appeal of a quiet rural town due to the lush greenery and picturesque hills that surround our community. Nearly 90 years ago, the leaders of our municipality demonstrated a commitment to preserving this pastoral charm by reserving 28 acres for citizen use as a public park. Today, Brentwood residents of all ages and skill levels have ample opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors without ever having to leave the boundaries of the municipality.

The Brentwood Park has grown to house a multitude of facilities, including a football stadium, four baseball fields, two basketball courts, a pair of tennis courts, a walking track, a children’s playground, picnic pavilions, a community center, and our treasured swimming pool. The borough also maintains a much-utilized soccer field at the terminus of Brentwood Avenue. Additionally, in a vivid manifestation of our renowned civic spirit, volunteer citizens run three popular organized sporting groups. The Brentwood Dukes football league, the Brentwood Athletic Association baseball organization, and the Brentwood Soccer Association serve to teach the values of teamwork and commitment to the next generation of residents.

Major changes are coming to our facilities in the very near future! With the aid of the concerned citizens who constitute the nonprofit Brentwood Park Initiative, the borough has approved a comprehensive plan to improve our community centerpiece. New attractions will include a skateboard area, a deck hockey rink, new pavilions, and more!
