Borough Council The current council members are: President: Deborah Nesbella Vice President: Doug Tusing Members: Susan Barber, Terry Illig, Dave Kuhar, Joe Lutz, V. Joseph Miller Mayor: Charles Moyer Alleys in Ebensburg The borough has clarified the status of alleys, noting that they were never formally ordained as streets. Ownership: The borough does not own the alleys and provides no maintenance (long-term or winter). Responsibility: Adjacent property owners are responsible for maintenance and have access rights. Restrictions: Property owners cannot construct anything on the alley or store materials there, as this violates zoning. Abandonment: If all contiguous owners petition to abandon an alley, the borough may waive interest, and the alley will be divided between properties. Kimball Corporate Conference Center The new $2 Million Kimball Corporate Conference Center is now open at 217-219 West High Street. L. Robert Kimball.

Recycling Schedule Curbside recycling collection occurs during the first and third FULL WEEKS of each month. Timing: Recycling is collected during the first week that contains both Wednesday and Friday (garbage days). Example: If the 1st of the month falls on a Wednesday or earlier, recycling is collected that week. If it falls on a Thursday or later, the first collection is the following week. Sewage Testing Ebensburg Borough is beginning DEP-required testing of residential and commercial sewage systems to detect infiltration. Method: Smoke-testing will be used to identify illegal connections (downspouts, drains, etc. ) discharging stormwater into the sanitary sewer. Impact: Smoke is non-toxic and leaves no residue, but may enter buildings if sewage traps are empty. Cost: Property owners with illegal sources must pay for corrections. Schedule: Testing will occur in specific sections each year over the next six years; 2009 focuses on properties west of Julian Street.
