The memorandum would give CHJA control of all operations at the sewage plant in exchange for $3 million to be paid to the borough.
Canonsburg Council met Monday, and borough officials said the majority of the almost three-hour agenda meeting focused on memorandum of understanding proposed by the Canonsburg-Houston Joint Authority. The memorandum has been under consideration for nearly six months and would give CHJA control of all operations at the sewage plant in exchange for $3 million to be paid to the borough, according to the document. The memorandum would also extend the borough's lease-back arrangement with CHJA so that the authority could obtain 30-year bonds to expand and update the plant. At the meeting, CHJA Chairman Mike Alterio said design for the expanded plant is 60 percent complete and was scheduled to be bid out in August. Alterio said council had …

CHJA board President Mike Alterio addressed Canonsburg Council on Monday.
Editor's Note: This story was updated at 5 p.m. to include comment from Diane Altland. Canonsburg-Houston Joint Authority board President Mike Alterio asked council members to raise their hands Monday if they were familiar with a state Department of Environmental Protection Act 537 Plan. Only three hands went up. Alterio said that's one reason he attended Council's meeting Monday—to explain what the Act 537 improvement plan means to CHJA and its customers, and to update members on why former authority engineer Diane Altland is still on the payroll. Canonsburg Council members had questioned last month why Altland—who had resigned—had rejoined the authority in a part-time capacity. Alterio said Atland stayed on to help in the transition of …

According to Richard Zollinger, sewer plant engineer, Altland has been serving as a consultant since she left her role as authority engineer several months ago. Zollinger expressed a need for Altland to serve in this role temporarily during the transition of her replacement. Members of the council, though, felt a clearer picture needs to be painted of what Altland’s specific role is and how long she will be kept on as a consultant. “Diane quit. She should no longer be employed by the authority, particularly as a consultant. Perhaps we need…
