[Charter, 5/21/1974, § 1101]
Any Borough officer or employee who has a financial interest,
direct or indirect or by reason of ownership of stock in any corporation,
in any contract with the Borough or in the sale of any land, material,
supplies or services to the Borough or to a contractor supplying the
Borough shall make known that interest and shall refrain from voting
upon or otherwise participating in his capacity as a Borough officer
or employee in the making of such sale or in the making or performance
of such contract. Any Borough officer or employee who willfully conceals
such a financial interest or willfully violates the requirements of
this section shall be guilty of malfeasance in office or position
and shall forfeit his office or position. Violation of this Section
with the knowledge express or implied of the person or corporation
contracting with or making a sale to the Borough shall render the
contract or sale voidable by the Borough Manager or the Borough Council.
[Charter, 5/21/1974, § 1102]
Amendments to this Charter may be framed and proposed in the
manner provided by law, that is Pennsylvania Act 62 of 1972, known
as "Home Rule Charter and Optional Plans Law," or by any amendment
to or revision of Pennsylvania Act 62.
[Charter, 5/21/1974, § 1103]
If any provision of this Charter shall be held by any court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such invalidity shall not
affect any other provision of this Charter, it being the intent of
the electors of the Borough of Edinboro that the remaining provisions
of this Charter be given full force and effect as completely as if
such invalid provision had not been included herein.
[Charter, 5/21/1974, § 1104]
This Charter shall become effective on the first Monday of January
1976, and the Borough government shall operate under the terms and
provisions of the Charter from and after the said effective date.
