By a 3-1 vote the board of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority (oversight board) opted to recommend that the General Assembly let the entity dissolve when/if the Secretary of Community and Economic Development lifts distressed status under Act 47.
As we wrote recently, the ICA did not receive an appropriation for Fiscal Year 2017-18 and DCED held a hearing on terminating the City’s distressed status just before Christmas. Under Act 99 of 2016 the ICA is supposed to be around to the later of the dissolution of Act 47 in Pittsburgh or June 30, 2019. If the Assembly carries out the wishes of the board it would presumably take an amendment to that legislation.
