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 hereby approves entering into the Intergovernmental
Cooperative Agreement Concerning Road Work and Snowplowing between
Honey Brook Township and Caernarvon Township, Lancaster County ("Caernarvon
Township") (said agreement referred to herein as the "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 Honey Brook Township to attest, such agreement.
The term of the agreement is undefined, and can be terminated
by either municipality with 90 days' written notice to the other
municipality.
The purpose of the agreement is to authorize Honey Brook Township
and Caernarvon Township to assist each other in the construction,
repair and maintenance of their public roads by sharing manpower as
well as equipment, for (i) construction, paving, improving, repairing
and maintaining public roads, and (ii) snowplowing, treating and clearing
public roads.
In the event that one municipality requests assistance from
the other municipality, then such requesting municipality shall be
required to provide payment to the responding municipality for all
such labor and materials provided by the responding municipality,
on a cost basis that is to be established prior to commencing any
such work.
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 Honey Brook Township is authorized.
No new entity has been created by the agreement, and therefore
no new employees are required. Each municipality shall utilize their
current employees to provide any services to the other municipality
pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
