[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Supervisors of the Township of
Pine 5-17-1993 by Ord. No. 212. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
The Township Manager shall be responsible for carrying out the administrative
duties set forth herein, unless otherwise specified.
In the event of a loss incurred subsequent to the adoption date of this chapter as a result of fire to a structure located within the Township of Pine, the Township Manager shall receive from the applicable insurance carrier such of the proceeds of insurance policies on such fire-damaged property as is provided for in Section 1 of Act 98 of 1992, amending Section 508, the Insurance Company Law of 1921, 40 P.S. § 638(c), and shall hold such proceeds as a separate escrow fund (hereinafter "fund") in accordance with § 107-3 of this chapter.
The Township Manager shall segregate the fund described in § 107-2 of this chapter and shall use such separate fund only to pay the items set forth in the certificate and bill provided for in § 107-6A(2) of this chapter or as security for the total costs, if any, incurred by Pine in removing, repairing or securing the insured, fire-damaged structure.
Upon receipt from the insurer of the name and address of the insured,
the Township Manager shall certify to the insured, in writing, that Pine has
received the fund and shall notify the insured that Pine shall follow the
procedures detailed in Section 1 of Act 98 of 1992, 40 P.S. § 638(d),
for use of the fund and for the ultimate transfer of any remaining part of
the fund to the insured following repair, removal, demolition or other reasonable
disposition of the fire-damaged, insured structure.
When the Township Manager has received adequate proof that the insured,
fire-damaged structure has been repaired, removed, demolished or otherwise
reasonably disposed of, as may be applicable, the Township Manager shall return
the fund to the insured, less any delinquent taxes, assessments, penalties
or user charges against the property and any costs incurred by Pine in the
repair, removal or securing of the structure.
A.
The Treasurer of the Township of Pine, upon the written
request of the named insured which specifies the tax description of a fire-damaged
property and the agreed-upon date of receipt of a proof of loss of the insurance
claim, shall furnish to the named insured either of the following (whichever
is applicable):
(1)
A certificate to the effect that, as of the date specified
in the request, there are no delinquent taxes, assessments, penalties or user
charges against the property and that, as of the date of the Treasurer's certificate,
Pine has not certified any amount as total costs incurred by the Township
for the removal, repair or securing of a building or other structure on the
property; or
(2)
A certificate and bill showing the amount of delinquent
taxes, assessments, penalties and user charges against the property as of
the date specified in the request that have not been paid as of the date of
the certificate and also showing, as of the date of the Treasurer's certificate,

been incurred by Pine for the removal, repair or securing of a building or
other structure on the property. Pine shall certify to the Treasurer the total
