This Part is enacted pursuant to authority granted in the Pennsylvania
Intergovernmental Cooperation Act, Act 177 of 1996 (53 Pa.C.S.A. § 2301
et seq.), as amended.
By enactment hereof, the Board of Supervisors of the Township
of Honey Brook (the "Township") hereby approves entering into the
Intermunicipal Sewer Agreement ("Agreement"), in substantially the
form attached to this Part, and authorizes and directs the Chairman
of the Board of Supervisors to execute, and the Secretary of the Township
to attest, such agreement.
The initial term of the agreement shall be for 10 years from
the effective date of the agreement, which shall be the date when
the last municipal party approves the same.
The Hammell-O'Donnell Business Park is a proposed land
development located in West Nantmeal Township. West Nantmeal Township
does not own or operate a public sewer system. The Northwestern Chester
County Municipal Authority does maintain a public sewer system which
currently provides public sewer service to properties in Honey Brook
Township and Honey Brook Borough. The property on which the Hammell-O'Donnell
Business Park is located is included within the Township of Honey
Brook's Official Sewage Facilities Plan, and the Northwestern
Chester County Municipal Authority is willing to provide public sewer
service to the property. The agreement sets forth the terms and conditions
upon which the parties shall collaborate to serve the Hammell-O'Donnell
Business Park with public sewer service.
The Township shall have no direct financial obligations under
the agreement. The only costs incurred by the Township shall be its
contribution of administrative resources necessary to administer the
terms of the agreement and other permitting processes required therein.
All substantive financial obligations related to connecting the Hammell-O'Donnell
Business Park to public sewer shall be borne by Hammell-O'Donnell
Properties, LLC.
No collaborative entity with separate organizational structure
is proposed. Each party to the agreement shall act in its own individual
capacity as provided for in the agreement.
No acquisition, management, or disposal of real property or
real estate by the Township is authorized.
No new entity has been created by the agreement, and therefore
no employees are required. The utilization of municipal consultants
to be compensated directly by their respective municipalities is contemplated
in the agreement.
