At the Beaver Falls City Council Meeting on Tuesday, the council approved its first reading of the agreement between the Beaver Falls Police Department and the Beaver County Housing Authority.

“This is just basically a renewal of an existing agreement, where we patrol extra duty patrols for the Housing Authority in all the housing areas of the city,” stated Beaver Falls police chief David Johnson. The fiscal agreement runs from September 2022 until September 2023, and the agreement is not to exceed $57,000.

The council also approved General Fund expenditures of $898,188.89, the approval for the Beaver County Behavioral Health Early Intervention to hold its “Trunk Or Treat” event on October 22 at the Human Services Building from 11:30 to 12:30, and for the repository purchase of 1303 9th Avenue. There were only four resolutions on the October 11 agenda.

Community Development director Rochelle Burks announced the first published edition of “Beaver Falls Buzz”, a community newsletter operated by the city council. The publication features stories and news regarding Beaver Falls, an events page, and commentary from local leaders. The newsletter is in digital format for the public at the moment: “We are working towards securing funding to print more [copies] moving forward,” Burks said; the only physical copies printed were to those in attendance at Tuesday’s meeting.

The next Beaver Falls City Council meeting is scheduled for October 25 at 7:00 PM at the City Building.
