The Borough has, and may exercise, any power, and may perform
any function not denied by the Constitution of the United States,
the Constitution of Pennsylvania, by the General Assembly, or by this
Charter at any time.
The powers of the Borough under this Charter shall be construed
broadly in favor of the Borough, and the specific mention of particular
powers in this Charter shall not be construed as limiting in any way
the general power stated in this article. All possible powers of the
Borough, except as limited in Section 201 above, are to be considered
as if specifically and individually set forth in this article, whether
such powers are presently available to the Borough or may hereafter
from time to time become available.
All powers of the Borough, including any such power which may
hereafter be conferred on the Borough by amendment of the Constitution
of the United States or of the Constitution of Pennsylvania or by
act of the General Assembly or by amendment of this Charter, unless
otherwise specifically set forth in this Charter, shall be vested
in the Borough Council. The Council shall be elected, shall organize
and shall function as provided in this Charter.
In the event that the County of Allegheny at any time adopts
a Home Rule Charter and, at the time of the adoption of the County
Charter or thereafter, the County of Allegheny exercises a power or
function which it proposes to exercise in the Borough of Green Tree,
then the Council of the Borough of Green Tree, by ordinance or by
such other action as may be authorized by the General Assembly from
time to time, may elect to be excluded from the exercise of such power
or function by the County of Allegheny.
