Penn Hills council hired a financial firm March 15 to appraise its sewer system despite concerns voiced by the mayor that the municipality is “on a frightening path.”
Council voted 3-2 in favor of hiring Philadelphia-based Public Financial Management (PFM) to look into how much the municipality’s sewer system is worth. Mayor Pauline Calabrese and councilman Frank Pecora dissented.
PFM will do the work for a one-time fee of $8,000 plus expenses, such as meals and travel, which have been capped at $500.
