Open Records

In accordance with the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Act, all records maintained by the Borough are public records, unless the records are:
• specifically exempted by Section 708
• exempted by another state or Federal law
• exempted by a judicial decree or order

To request a public record, complete an Open Records Request Form, and submit it to the Borough’s Open Records Officer. By law, all requests will receive a response within 5 business days.

The Borough does charge duplication fees ($0.25 as per Borough Fee Schedule, revised 2010), and all fees related to the duplication of the records as approved by the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records. This includes the cost of copies to redact sensitive information, even when only viewing records. Per the Act, the Borough reserves the right to require pre-payment of fees when fees are estimated to exceed $100, and the Borough reserves the right to waive any fee.
