On Tuesday, January 2, 2024, the Steelton Borough swore in their newly elected officials.
Council Elect Julianna Paioletti was sworn in by Mayor Ciera Dent, re-elected council member Denae House was sworn in by Mayor Ciera Dent, re-elected council member Michael Segina was sworn in by Mayor Ciera Dent and re-elected council member Vanessa Bowers was sworn in by Judge Royce Morris.
Steelton Borough would like to remind its residents and community members about the existing ordinance prohibiting open burning within the borough. The provisions outlined in § 48-1 of the Steelton Borough municipal code clearly state that building fires or burning wastepaper, pasteboard boxes, and other waste material, except for outdoor cooking, are considered a nuisance and strictly prohibited.
Recent weather conditions, characterized by abnormally dry weather and record-low rainfall, have created a heightened risk of wildfires in the region. The combination of dry conditions and the potential for thunderstorms and lightning strikes poses a substantial threat to the safety and well-being of our community.
Additionally, the impact of smoke from extensive wildfires in Canada is being felt across the northeast, including the Harrisburg region. The resulting poor air quality, due to tiny particles in the smoke, poses a danger, especially for individuals with chronic lung or heart conditions.
Steelton Borough urges all residents, businesses, and stakeholders to be aware of and comply with the prohibition on open burning. This includes refraining from building fires or burning any form of waste material on streets, alleys, highways, vacant lands, public places, or private property, except for outdoor cooking purposes.
The borough’s commitment to public safety and environmental preservation requires the cooperation and support of everyone in the community. It is vital that we take necessary measures to prevent wildfires, protect our environment, and maintain good air quality standards.

Due to COVID-19 health concerns, street sweeping in the Borough of Steelton will NOT be enforced beginning April 1st. The warnings issued today were in error and the Steelton Borough Police Department WILL NOT be enforcing street sweeping violations until further notice. We apologize for any confusion this may cause. Please disregard any warning you may have received and remember that all other parking/safety violations will be enforced.
On March 25, 2020, following our daily briefing on COVID-19, the Borough of Steelton in conjunction with the Steelton Police Department made the decision that ALL Borough parks and playgrounds, including equipment, play areas, basketball courts, picnic areas, and the skate park are CLOSED until further notice. In regards to the boat launch, the pavilion is closed, however the boat launch remains open for boaters.
Signs will be posted on each of the parks with this notification. This decision was made to protect residents, specifically children in the borough, from exposure to COVID-19. We are doing our best to ensure the safety and health of all borough residents.
This notice includes the following locations:
The Mayor extended the Disaster Declaration for another 7 days. We ask that you continue to follow the precautions of the CDC and follow the mandates of the Governor. We, in Pennsylvania, have not been faced with the worse yet and if we continue to follow these directions, hopefully we won’t.
Mayor signed a Declaration of Disaster Emergency. This declaration covers costs associated with the emergency protective measures that are being taken to protect the residents of the Borough. This is a funding declaration and it is not necessary for residents to take any action.
