Credits available to reduce their Stormwater Management Program (SMP) Fee. Credits are provided as a means for customers to reduce the amount of their fee by implementing a creditable Best Management Practice (BMP) to reduce the contribution of stormwater and pollutants to the Authority’s Stormwater Management system and/or to aid the Borough in meeting its Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit obligations.
Stormwater is rainwater that “runs off” from impervious surfaces (rooftops, parking lots, driveways, etc.) and lawns at a much faster rate than it would from woods or large grassy areas. This runoff flows quickly through storm drain pipes into the streams. It can flood streets, erode stream banks, and topple trees.
On December 7th Councilwoman Keontay R. Hodge submitted her resignation of Council. At the December 19th Council Meeting, Borough Council formally accepted Councilwoman Hodge’s resignation.
Steelton Borough Council and staff would like to thank Ms. Hodge for her years of service to the Borough. Ms. Hodge, elected to two terms, served as a Councilwoman for the Borough of Steelton from 2016-2022.
With Ms. Hodge’s resignation, Steelton Borough Council must appoint a new member to fill her vacancy until December 31st, 2023, which is the end of Ms. Hodge’s elected term.
Council is seeking letters of interest and resumes for consideration of appointment of the remainder of Councilwoman Hodge’s term. Submissions will be accepted by e-mail to boroughmanager@steeltonpa.com. Submissions will also be accepted by hand delivery, in a sealed envelope labeled “Attention Borough Manager, Council Vacancy,” to the third floor offices at Steelton Borough’s Administrative Office located on 123 N Front Street. All submissions must include your full legal name, address, and at least one method of contact in either the form of a phone number or e-mail address, preferably both.
