This Borough shall join with Elizabeth Township,
Warwick Township, Warwick School District and Lititz Community Center
(collectively the "participants" and individually a "participant")
in accordance with the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation
Act by entering into the intergovernmental agreement of cooperation
(the "intergovernmental agreement"), which is adopted by reference
with the same effect as if it had been set out verbatim in this section
and a copy of which shall be filed with the minutes of the meeting
at which this article was enacted.
This Borough is authorized to enter into and
execute the intergovernmental agreement for the purposes contained
therein. This action is to be taken by the officials or employees
of the Borough designated for this purpose, pursuant to general or
specific instructions issued by Borough Council.
As required by the Intergovernmental Cooperation
Act, the following matters are specifically found and determined:
A.
The conditions of the agreement are set forth in the Intergovernmental Agreement referred to in § 10-6.
B.
The intergovernmental agreement shall become effective
as of January 1, 2005, and shall remain in effect for four calendar
years until December 31, 2008. Thereafter, the intergovernmental agreement
shall be automatically renewed on a yearly basis. Any participant
may withdraw at the end of any calendar year, including as of December
31, 2008, by giving written notice of the desire to withdraw to all
other participants and to the Warwick Regional Recreation Commission
(the "Commission") one year in advance of the date of withdrawal.
C.
The purpose and objectives of the intergovernmental
agreement are to enter into an intergovernmental contract to form
the Commission and to share the costs of providing recreational services
for the residents of the municipalities.
D.
Each municipality shall share in the cost of operation
of the Commission and its programs on a pro rata basis determined
by the population of the municipalities. The municipalities, the school
district, and the community center shall also make in-kind contributions
by making available without charge the use of real property of each
participant and paying costs to maintain their respective properties.
E.
The Commission shall consist of seven members. Warwick
Township shall appoint two members, Lititz Borough shall appoint two
members, and Elizabeth Township, the school district, and the community
center shall each appoint one member.
F.
All property, real or personal, shall be managed and
disposed of by the owner of such property. The Commission shall have
the right to acquire equipment for regional recreation facilities.
G.
The Commission shall not have the power to enter into
contracts for policies of insurance or other employee benefits. Each
participant has the power to enter into contracts for policies of
insurance and other employee benefits. Subject to the requirements
of any grant funding, any director of the Commission shall be an employee
of the community center.
The Borough Council reserves the right to modify,
supplement or amend the intergovernmental agreement from time to time
by resolution or ordinance.
