Adopted by Borough Council · April 14, 2025
At its April 14 meeting, Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-01, authorizing the Borough to shred and destroy records that have reached the end of their required keeping period. Pennsylvania’s Municipal Records Retention Act sets how long municipalities must hold on to different kinds of documents — financial ledgers, permits, correspondence, and the like — and a formal resolution is the step that lets a borough clear out files once those minimum periods have passed.
Adopted unanimously
In favor: all members present — Robert Dollar, Sarah Hunter, Rob Poust, David Snyder, Tammy Wills, William Wiser. Absent: Ken Patterson.
Routine housekeeping like this keeps storage manageable while ensuring that nothing is discarded ahead of schedule. The retention schedules themselves are published in Pennsylvania’s Municipal Records Manual.
On record: Resolution No. 2025-01 is part of the public meeting record at the Borough Office, 1100 Logan Avenue. Learn more about the schedules that govern record disposal in Pennsylvania’s Municipal Records Manual.
