There is hereby established a formal system for the issuance
and recording of the official actions, policies and regulations of
the Township. This document/reference system shall be known as the
"Township Document System."
The organization of the Township Document System shall be comprised
of the following volumes, which shall be available, as practicable,
for reference by the public in the office of the Township Manager.
Records will be retained in compliance with regulations promulgated
by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.
A. Public volumes.
(1) The Second Class Township Code, which is a statute of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
prescribing the form, powers and certain procedures for the Township
government.
(2) The Official Minute Book, which
is a record of the official actions of the Board of Supervisors for
all regular, special and emergency meetings.
(3) The Book of Ordinances and
Resolutions, which shall contain all ordinances and resolutions of
a legislative nature that are enacted by the Board of Supervisors.
All filings shall be within one month of enactment in chronological
sequence.
(4) The Code of Township Regulations,
which is a reference source of those regulations and procedures that
are binding upon the public and are issued by administrative authority
to carry out of the intentions of the various laws, statutes, ordinances
and resolutions.
B. Administrative volumes. The Township
Manager may issue such other volumes as he deems necessary to be a
part of the Township Document Systems, which shall be for the purpose
of setting forth the various policies, practices and procedures of
the executive function of the Township government.
The Township Manager shall provide for the administration of
the Township Document System.
Failure to record properly or to make available in the Township
Document System any information or document intended for inclusion
in said system shall not invalidate or render ineffective such regulation,
procedure, policy or notice, unless such proper recording or access
is stated as a condition of validity.
