Editor's Note: See 53 Pa.C.S.A. § 2301 et seq.
This municipality is authorized to enter into
the intermunicipal agreement for the purposes contained therein. This
action is to be taken by the officials or employees of the municipality
designated for this purpose, pursuant to general or specific instructions
issued by the governing body.
As required by the Intergovernmental Cooperation
Act the following matters are specifically found and determined:
A.
The conditions of the agreement are set forth in the intermunicipal agreement referred to in § 24-16.
B.
The intermunicipal agreement shall commence on July
1, 2002, and shall continue for a period of five years. Thereafter,
the intermunicipal agreement shall be terminable by either party at
any time upon written notification to the other party of the party's
election to terminate the intermunicipal agreement. Such termination
shall become effective 90 days after the date of such written notice
by the party electing to terminate the intermunicipal agreement.
C.
The purposes and objectives of the intermunicipal
agreement are to provide for the formation of the Donegal-Elizabethtown
Area Appeals Board (the "Appeals Board") to serve as a joint building
code board of appeals for all participating municipalities, and to
join together to lessen the costs of individual administration of
the Uniform Construction Code within each municipality.
D.
Each municipality shall bear the costs related to
the administration and enforcement of the Uniform Construction Code
within that municipality. Each municipality will establish a fee structure
so that applicants for permits or inspections or persons filing appeals
shall pay the costs associated with the administration and enforcement
of the Uniform Construction Code.
E.
A new organizational structure, the Appeals Board,
will be formed by the intermunicipal agreement. The membership of
the Appeals Board is established in Act 45[1] and in the regulations which the Department will adopt
to implement Act 45. The manner of making appointments to the Appeals
Board is set forth in the intermunicipal agreement.

Editor's Note: See 35 P.S. § 7210.101 et seq.
F.
The intermunicipal agreement does not contemplate
the purchase of any real or personal property. Each municipality shall
acquire, manage or dispose of such personal property as it desires
and deems necessary to administer the Uniform Construction Code.
G.
Each municipality has the power to enter into contracts
for policies of insurance or other employee benefits.
