"The PSAB represents the interests of the Boroughs of Pennsylvania. As we move forward, count on your association to assist you in addressing the challenges of local government. Contact PSAB, we are ready to assist you."
Sincerely, Thomas A. Klaum Executive Vice President Recognizing your need to be fiscally responsible, PSAB made the decision to combine the Annual Conference with the Spring Legislative Conference, thus leading PSAB to host only two major conferences throughout the year. The 2009 Annual Conference is scheduled for March 22-25, 2009 at the Hershey Lodge. For more information, including the schedule and registration information, visit the PSAB Conferences web page. Every borough is required by the Borough Code (Section 1009) to affix minutes into a permanently sealed or bound book, and PSAB is pleased to be able to provide an excellent source for minute books at special discounted rate.

On December 9, 2008, the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) approved the final guidelines for the H20 PA infrastructure grants. $800 million is being made available for flood control projects, high hazard dams, water supply, sanitary sewer and storm water projects. The guidelines are now posted on the CFA web site with a link to apply electronically through the Single Application for Assistance. Please review the program guidelines for the specifics regarding application requirements and evaluations. For more information, visit the CFA web site. The next deadline to apply is February 13, 2009. PSAB recently mailed members the 2009 Capital Budget Requirement Survey (CBRS) whose purpose is to establish an inventory of desired and necessary capital projects sought by boroughs throughout the Commonwealth. This inventory will serve a variety of purposes and become an excellent tool when engaging legislative leaders at the state and federal levels. If your borough has not done so already, please fill out the CBRS and return it to PSAB. Signed by Governor Rendell on February 14, Act 3 of 2008 provides significant changes to Pennsylvania's Right to Know Law. In an effort to help officials begin to understand the open records changes, PSAB prepared an information sheet and Q&A. In addition, Borough News ran a cover article dedicated to the issue in May 2008. Member questions can be directed to the Research Department at 800-232-7722. For further information, visit the Office of Open Records website. Act 32 represents a new era in Earned Income Tax (EIT) collection that will begin in 2012. During the time building up to January 1, 2012, there are a number of items that boroughs, and other government entities, will need to address. In order to assist borough officials, PSAB Government Affairs prepared an information sheet as well as an in-depth analysis of Act 32. To learn more through the DCED EIT Collection System Initiative webpage, click here. Boroughs in northern or southwestern Pennsylvania are being approached to lease property for natural gas exploration. But it's important to gather - and completely understand - as much information as possible about the legal, economic and environmental implications for your borough and neighboring municipalities. To help you make informed decisions, Penn State Cooperative Extension is offering a free publication, "Natural Gas Exploration: A Landowner's Guide to Leasing Land in Pennsylvania." On June 4th the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court handed down a decision in the appeal of Borough of Youngwood v. Prevailing Wage Appeals Board. A PSAB Alert describing the implications was faxed to every member borough. Recent newspaper articles are available through the Legislative Information link (Issues in the News), or by clicking here. In mid-June, a matrix designating maintenance and construction practices was released. PSAB is coordinating an online calendar of events that occur in our boroughs to help boost tourism at the local level. To see what's coming up so that you and your family can attend, click here. To inquire about how your borough can add an event, contact Suzi Kalis at 800-232-7722 ext.30 or skalis@boroughs.org. Act 8 of 2008 amends the Borough Code to confirm the authority of borough officials to plan and budget for fire and EMS services for their communities.
