Monongahela council hopes to have members named to its boards for the new year by the end of the week.

At its informational meeting Monday, council members said they’re accepting and reviewing applications for members for the sewage and library boards as well as hiring a new engineering firm.

Councilman Ken Kulak said council has received as many as nine applications from Southwestern Pennsylvania engineering firms, and a new firm could be named at Wednesday’s meeting.

“We had a lot of firms that submitted,” he said. “They’re all local.”

Kulak couldn’t name who had applied for the sanitary authority board position, but he did say Terry Necciai, a member of the Monongahela Library Board of Directors, applied to represent the library as its board representative.

Necciai is the current board representative for the library, a position he was appointed to more than four years ago.

Necciai said it was an easy decision to seek the board representative position as he was the only resident to apply.

“I do enjoy it,” he said. “The challenges have been interesting.”
