The Town shall have and may exercise all powers and may perform
all functions not denied by the Constitution or laws of the United
States, by the Constitution or laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
or by this Charter. Those powers may be exercised in accordance with
the provisions of this Charter.
Any specific and mandatory regulatory or procedural provision
of this Charter shall be construed as exclusive; it shall prohibit
any inconsistent regulation or procedure.
The powers of the Town under this Charter shall be broadly construed
in favor of the Town. The specific mention of particular powers or
duties shall not be interpreted as limiting in any way the general
powers conferred under Section 201 of this Charter or under the Constitution
or laws of Pennsylvania as they now exist or may be amended.
Nothing in this Charter shall limit the discretionary authority of the Town under Article
IX, Section 5 of the Constitution of Pennsylvania with respect to inter-governmental cooperation in the exercise of any function, power or responsibility of the Town.
