This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Personnel Policies"
of the Code of the Borough of Kutztown.
This chapter is enacted pursuant to the authority of the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania including but not limited to, §§ (20)
and §§ (74) of § 1202 of the Pennsylvania Borough
Code [53 P.S. § 46202(20) and § 46202(74)].
The Borough Council may, by resolution, adopt policies prohibiting improper
conduct in the Borough workplace by Borough employees and elected and appointed
officials (the "Borough Personnel Policies"), from time to time, as may be
reasonably necessary for the good and efficient administration and management
of the government. Such policy or policies adopted by resolution shall be
cumulative and shall be enforced under this chapter. In no event shall this

in violation of any collective bargaining agreement.
It is the intention of the Council that each separate provision of this
chapter shall be independent of all other provisions herein and it is further
the intention of the Council that if any of the provisions of this chapter
be declared to be invalid, all other provisions hereof shall remain in full
force and effect.
