Welcome to the Borough of Patterson Heights

You've probably noticed all the fire alarms going off recently.  Don't forget that the police also respond to those calls, as well as taking care of their regular duties.  Kudos to the fire fighters (led by Chief Jason Medlin) and police officers (led by Chief David Stanislawski) who protect Patterson Heights.

Hats off to Bryan Landman for some recent work done on sewer lines in the Borough--in the rain--in the dark--after hours.  He could just as easily called for professional assistance, probably costing the Borough thousands.  Several residents have also taken the time to tell me how much they appreciate Bryan's keeping the Borough Park in such great shape.

 The Ladies Auxiliary organizes programs, fundraisers, and other activities for the benefit of the residents of Patterson Heights.  The Auxiliary meets the first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. in the Borough Building.  They welcome all guests, and would love to have you as a member.  Contact Fran Levinger or Sue Pokego (numbers listed above) for more information.  The next meeting is scheduled for October 2nd.  Be sure to mark your calendar. 

 November 6 is the date of the Fall election this year.  We are part of a new Congressional district now, and should see a hotly contested race, with many campaign ads.  As always, the Ladies Auxiliary will hold a bake sale the day of the election.  They will gladly take any baked goods you are able to donate. 

Halloween will be celebrated this year on Wednesday, October 31, from 6 to 8 p.m.  Have a great time, and be safe.

Here's an idea!  Order some meatball subs from the Ladies Auxiliary, pick them up on the 30th, and have an easy dinner while you greet the Trick-or-Treaters.  See below for ordering information.

In order to save wear and tear on his reindeer and sleigh, Santa will be riding through the Borough in the Patterson Heights fire truck, starting at 6 p.m. on Saturday, December 15.  At around 7 p.m. he will settle in at the Borough Building for hot chocolate, cookies, and lots of pictures, so be sure to bring your cameras.  Many thanks to the Volunteer Firefighters, Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and her elves (also known as the Ladies Auxiliary).

The Ladies Auxiliary will hold a meatball sandwich sale on Tuesday, October 30.  You may place an order by calling (724) 846-0186.  The deadline for ordering is October 23.  Pickup will be on the 30th from 4 to 6 p.m.

Bring your own containers.  The ladies will put your meatballs and sauce in your plastic container, and buns in a separate bag, so you can reconstruct your sandwiches at your convenience.

A meatball sandwich is a quick and easy dinner for Halloween, the next night!

If you have a family member with mental or physical challenges, we can alert the Police Department, Fire Department, and County Emergency Management team by means of a list maintained in the Borough Office.

If you have any questions, or would like to have someone added to the list, give us a call or send us an email.

If you are adding to the area of your yard that is covered by a structure - like adding a deck, an addition, a larger porch, a garage, a fence - you need a permit. If you have any questions call the Borough Office at (724) 846-0677, or send us an email.  By the way, your contractor is not always your best source for information about Patterson Heights zoning regulations.

Perhaps you noticed the recent article in the Beaver County Times about the municipalities in Beaver County that received grants to help with the costs of their recycling programs.  One of the reasons we got more heavily involved with recycling ourselves is to develop a track record that will be looked upon favorably by people who give out the grant money.  So keep on separating your recyclables, and, by all means, bring your paper and cardboard to the boxes behind the Borough Building!

OR

If you have an extra $50,000+ and would like to have a new leaf machine named after you, give us a call at the Borough Office.

You have probably noticed that most of the leaves are still on the trees this year.  Why they're so late in falling, who knows?   Bryan will be around soon to start vacuuming the leaves you place in the street, but there are a few things you should remember.  Most importantly, the machine is designed to pick up ONLY leaves--not trash, sticks, lumber, pumpkins, cornstalks, or grass!

He will continue to pick up leaves until he needs to put the snow plow on the truck.  Once the plow is on the truck, he won't be able to pick up any more leaves, and he will simply plow any leaves you leave in the street right back into your yard!

 Stop by 498 Fourth Street, and check out the Little Free Library.  Take a book/leave a book.  This is truly one of gems of our community.  More information to come. 

The Borough Council has approved Ordinance 281, which regulates soliciting in Patterson Heights.  This ordinance DOES NOT affect soliciting by minors (Girl Scouts, Little League, school fundraisers).  Solicitors MUST have a Borough-issued ID, plus another photo ID.  If you see anyone soliciting without having first registered with the Borough, you are encouraged to contact the police.

IMPORTANT:

If you do not want solicitors coming to your house at all, the Borough will add your address to a "Do Not Knock" list.  If you would like to be added to the list, contact the Borough Office by calling (724-846-0677), or by completing a Get In Touch form found at the bottom of this page.
