Charleroi is having mixed fortunes on the hiring front.

Council has been trying to fill some open positions in recent weeks, including laborers on the street crew, a new street foreman and a newly created borough manager. 

While some positions have been filled, including the street foreman and a laborer, offers for the borough manager and another spot on the street crew have been declined. 

During a meeting April 14, council unanimously agreed to offer the borough manager slot to a Pittsburgh-area man.

He was not identified, but Council President Mark Alterici said council was aware he was also interviewing for a similar position in another borough.

He declined the offer from Charleroi because the other job was closer to his home, Alterici said. 

At that same meeting, council offered a street crew position to another man, but he informed council he will be moving out of state to take a different job.

Council agreed at a special meeting this week to re-advertise the jobs, which will mark the third time they are advertising for a borough manager.
