Message
from
Our Mayor,
Jan Cmar
Since becoming mayor two years ago, I have had the privilege
to represent the Borough at various civic functions and work
with many of you on community projects. At these times I am
struck by the goodness in our community and the willingness
of our citizens to work together to live up to our reputation as a
great place to live, work and raise our families.
Last April over 125 of our residents participated in Earth
Day as part of the KEEP PA BEAUTIFUL campaign to clear litter
from our neighborhoods and roads. As you will see in this issue,
throughout the year some neighborhoods have adopted their
roads and schedule regular cleanup mornings.
We care about each other, and it showed when our local
communities recently supported a color run race sponsored
by our Thomas Jefferson High School students to help a
local sick child. Our residents are currently supporting our
Police Department’s annual Holiday toy drive by bringing an
unwrapped toy to the Borough Building by December 15.
Many of you volunteer throughout the year on our Borough
fall festival, Christmas holiday celebration, Fish for Fun days,
golf outing, and library programs. Additionally, this year we
are grateful for the generous support by our community of the
Jefferson Hill’s Library/Friends of the Library LOVE YOUR LIBRARY
campaign.
Thank you for your great work to all of our dedicated Borough
volunteers—our boards and committees, fire companies, ladies
auxiliaries, EMS personnel, Historical Society, Friends of the
Library, Chamber of Commerce, coaches, public servants and
everyone who supports our efforts by attending our programs
and events.
In Jefferson Hills, your mayor, council, police force and
Borough staff are fortunate to serve an active, giving and
talented community. Again, we thank you for the cooperation
that makes Jefferson Hills special. From all of us, Happy Holidays
and Best Wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2017!

Learn the Best Way to
Report a Streetlight Outage
Our local power companies have requested
that Jefferson Hills residents contact them
directly rather than our Police Department or
the Borough administrative offices to report a
street light outage. The reason for this request
is simply that the person who reports the
outage directly to the utility will be able to
answer more specific questions (e.g., Is the
light blinking), resulting in a quicker and more
efficient response.
Here is information from First Energy
Corporation:
Duquesne Light’s
telephone number
for reporting outages is
1-888-393-7000.
