The Borough of West View (Borough) hereby joins with the Township
of Ross (township) and the North Hills School District (district)
to create hereby the Ross — West View — North
Hills School District Intergovernmental Cooperation Agency (Agency).
The term of the Agency shall be for five years, and the same
shall be renewable for additional five-year terms thereafter.
The purposes and objectives of the Agency as required by the
Act (53 P.S. § 487) shall be to aid, promote, assist and fund community school-related
activities.
The Agency shall be funded and financed by contributions from
the township and Borough, each of which shall contribute an amount
equal to at least 25% of the increase in the amount of Regional Asset
District disbursements received in excess of the prior calendar year.
The Agency shall be organized so that it shall comprise three
members, all of whom shall be elected officials, one of each to be
annually appointed by the Borough, township and district. The Agency
members must unanimously agree upon the disbursements for community/school-related
activities. If the members cannot unanimously agree, then the Borough
representative and district representative shall jointly agree as
to the disbursement of the Borough contribution, and the township
and district representative shall jointly agree as to the distribution
of the township contribution. In the event that the municipal members,
i.e., Borough or township and the district member cannot jointly agree,
then the municipal member alone shall determine the disbursement of
the municipal contribution, subject however, to obtaining the advice
and consent of the members of the Municipal Board or Council, which
advice and consent shall be given by resolution of the Council or
Board.
The members of the Agency shall establish a checking account
into which all funds shall be deposited and from which all disbursements
shall be made. The checking account shall be subject to audit by each
of the participating governmental bodies. Reasonable expenditures
can be made for necessary administrative expenses. No member of the
Agency shall be entitled to any remuneration or expense reimbursement.
Should the township, for any reason, no longer desire to be
a part of the Agency created hereunder, then and in that event, the
district and Borough shall continue on as a West View — North
Hills School District Intergovernmental Agency and be organized under
the terms set forth herein as apply to just the Borough and district.
