Unless otherwise prohibited by law, the Township of German shall make all public records as defined by the Pennsylvania Open Records Law accessible for inspection and duplication by a requestor in accordance with 65 P.S. § 66.1 et seq. A public record shall be provided to a requestor in the medium requested if the public record exists in that medium; otherwise, it shall be provided in the medium in which it exists, except for the provision in §
1-25B. Public records shall be available for access during the regular business hours of the Township. Nothing in this article shall provide for access to a record which is not a public record.
If the Township determines that a public record contains information which is subject to access, as well as information which is not subject to access, the Township's response shall grant access to the information which is subject to access and deny access to the information which is not subject to access. If the information which is not subject to access is an integral part of the public record and cannot be separated, the Township shall redact from the public record the information which is not subject to access and the response shall grant access to the information which is subject to access. The Township may not deny access to the public record if the information which is not subject to public access is able to be redacted. Information which the Township redacts in accordance with this section shall be deemed a denial under §
1-17C of this article.
The person at the Township to whom all record
requests should be addressed shall be:
Daniel Shimshock
Secretary/Treasurer
Township of German
2 Long Street
McClellandtown, PA 15458

The regular business hours of the Township shall
be Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
The individual at the Township who shall receive
and respond to exceptions filed when a record is denied and the requestor
disagrees with the denial shall be the Township Assistant Secretary.
