An Emsworth official has been named to a committee of the Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs (PSAB).

Council member Paul Getz said at council's regular meeting on Feb. 10 that he had been named to the executive board of PSAB’s western region.

Getz said in a later interview that he will be working directly with officials in other municipalities in the region and taking any issues they may have back to the executive board.

Getz said that he was nominated for the position by a council member from Baden.

Getz was authorized to attend the PSAB conference, which will be held at the Omni William Penn April 25-28, at a cost of $225. His attendance was authorized in a 5-1 vote, with council member Amy Adams opposed. Council member Dave Heflin was absent.
