The Board of Commissioners of the Township of Manheim signifies
and expresses its intention to organize the General Municipal Authority
of the Township of Manheim (the "Authority") under the Municipality
Authorities Act, 53 Pa.C.S.A. § 5601 et seq., as amended
(the "Act"), for the purpose of acquiring, holding, constructing,
improving, maintaining and operating, owning or leasing, either in
the capacity of lessor or lessee, projects of all kinds and character
which an authority is authorized to undertake under the Act.
It is recognized that such Authority shall be empowered and
authorized, under the Act, to acquire, hold, construct, improve, maintain
and operate, own or lease buildings and facilities for private, nonprofit,
nonsectarian colleges and universities, state-related universities
and community colleges. The Township deems that it is desirable for
the health, safety and welfare of the public of the area to be served
by such educational facilities to have such facilities provided by
an Authority.
It is further recognized that such Authority shall be empowered
and authorized, under the Act, to undertake projects involving the
making of business improvements or providing administrative services.
The Township, therefore, retains the right which exists under the
Act to approve any plan of the Authority with respect to any project
undertaken by the Authority for the purpose of making business improvements
or providing administrative services.

the taxing power of the Township in any way.
B. It is declared that it is desirable for the health, safety and welfare
of the people in the area served by the college to have the buildings
and facilities provided by the Authority.
