As a member of the Playing Fields Work group, Mr. Waller helped solidify the efforts to the Township, Upper St. Clair School District and Upper St. Clair Athletic Association to provide recreational opportunities for the youth in our community and supported the development and upkeep of Township parks and playing fields.
Mr. Waller was an active member of the Public Works Committee during the completion of the Perimeter Trail Extension, the installation of new traffic signal equipment at two intersections along Washington Road, and the installation of a high-efficiency air handling unit in the Community & Recreation Center aquatics area.
Mr. Waller "performed his Township duties with dedication, fairness, and intelligence; maintaining a positive spirit of cooperation and respect with both Board members and Township staff; and his efforts have contributed significantly to the growth and overall quality of life in the Township during his service," the proclamation states.
Mr. Waller resigned as commissioner on March 1, 2021 after he and his wife bought a house in Washington County. He told the crowd at the Board of Commissioners meeting that being on the board is one of his biggest misses.
"He (Rex Waller) was a gentleman always and a great commissioner to work with," said Mark D. Christie, President of the Board of Commissioners.
Commissioner Todd D. Burlingame was appointed to serve Mr. Waller's term until the end of 2021. A special election to fulfill the remainder of the term (Jan. 3, 2022 - Jan. 1, 2024) will be scheduled.
