From the President
TE
To me, the most important part of being an effective public servant is using the resources in my community and at PSAB to my benefit. PSAB serves as a resource by providing education, research, advocacy,
group programs, and other services to help you do your job most effectively. In your communities, be
sure to connect to local resources such as the library, fire department, civic clubs, Main Street Program,
Chamber of Commerce, businesses, and – most importantly – your residents.
By using our resources, we can help each other be better leaders. Each decision we make affects our
borough’s future. But to do so, we must be prepared to lead. As you read this Annual Report, I hope you
learn something new about what PSAB can offer. Also, be sure to read the Borough News Magazine and
visit www.boroughs.org to stay up-to-date on an ongoing basis.

From one public official to another, thank you for choosing a life in public service. And, thank you

President’s Message
I’ve had the privilege and honor of serving as the president of the Pennsylvania State Association of
Boroughs (PSAB) since I was sworn into office at the 2015 Annual Conference in Lancaster. Since then,
I’ve been traveling throughout the state to County Boroughs Associations meetings, borough anniversary
celebrations, and other milestones to learn more about our member communities. Like you, municipal
public service has been an important and inspirational part of my life.

Letter from the Executive Director
Like you, the Association has had to evolve over the years to meet the needs of our membership. The
PSAB Board of Directors recently approved a 2016-2021 Strategic Action Plan that emphasizes several
fundamental goals that will benefit our borough communities. These goals are to:
• Deliver core services to boroughs and promote combined purchasing arrangements.
• F
oster unity of borough officials around the Commonwealth by emphasizing the importance of civic
responsibility and effective leadership on the local level.
• Advocate and support favorable policy measures on behalf of the boroughs of Pennsylvania.
• Provide quality education and training tools that will support the membership.
• Deliver updated research and information resources.
• Strategically partner with affiliate organizations and collaborate on issues pertinent to boroughs.
I hope you have had the opportunity to take advantage of the training, conferences, programs, and
research assistance available through our Association. For those of you who are new to borough government service and to PSAB, we’re proud to be your partner. Together, we can create a sustainable future
for our communities.
Sincerely,
Christopher Cap, PSAB Executive Director

While some issues facing local governments remain the same, emerging issues have come to the forefront. Every borough official faces the challenge of providing vital services to his or her community while
operating within budget limits. Further, technological changes, regionalization, partnerships, and an
aging demographic must all be anticipated.

Advocacy and Lobbying
TE
Legislative advocacy doesn’t start in Harrisburg.
It starts with you – in your community. And, your
borough or County Boroughs Association can submit
a resolution to be considered at the Annual Conference each year. That resolution commits the resources of
PSAB’s Government Affairs Department to work with you in advocating for your interests.
Over the past year, PSAB has represented your interests as it has helped to:
A S S O C I AT
•Support a comprehensive update to PA’s 911 emergency communications law. PSAB also has a seat on the
new 911 Advisory Board.
I
•Enact a law that would require insurance companies to send payment directly to ambulance companies,
which was based on a long-standing PSAB resolution.

•Expand the Housing Trust Fund – the PA Housing Affordability and Rehabilitation Enhancement Fund
(PHARE).

Advocacy and Lobbying
Since 1911, the Pennsylvania State Association of
Boroughs (PSAB) has served as the advocate for
Pennsylvania’s boroughs. Through past advocacy
efforts, PSAB has helped to enact a modernized
Borough Code; achieved success with prevailing wage
rates on road and construction projects; helped to
secure a $2.3 billion Transportation Plan; and sought
relief for unfunded mandates. These priorities happened, in part, because you made your voices heard
about what your needs are in your boroughs.
•Advance a bill (HB 1419) that would allow for the optional elimination of the elected tax collector.
•Give boroughs the tools to fight blight. PSAB supported a series of bills including Act 34 of 2015 that will
give local governments the ability to increase fines and penalties for the criminal offense of Municipal Housing Code Avoidance.
•Author and pass a bill (HB 1394) that would allow borough communities to develop resources to comply
with federal stormwater mandates.

•Educate lawmakers about the adverse impacts of
a proposed bill (HB 809) that would restrict local
governments from regulating off campus student
housing.
•Block a federal Environmental Protection Agency

managing public infrastructure more difficult.

•Fight for passage of the federal highway
transportation bill that will invest $9 billion into
Pennsylvania’s highways and bridges.
•Prevent the advancement of federal legislation that
would have allowed larger trucks on our roadways.
•Enact Act 42 of 2015 which enables boroughs to
appoint alternate members to their planning commissions.
•Protect volunteer fire company members by
supporting a bill (HB 138) that establishes safety
guidelines for soliciting donations on roadways.
The measure is Act 57 of 2015.

Communicating With
Our Members
In 2015, the Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs (PSAB) made significant
changes with how we communicate with you. The Borough News magazine,
website, and digital communications are part of an evolving strategy to get you
the information you need in a timelier manner.
TE
PSAB continues to make significant upgrades to our website, www.boroughs.
org. Be sure to visit the website for grant opportunities; Membership Directory;
Budget Bulletin; sample ordinances and resolutions; a searchable Borough Code;
borough spotlights; information on the County Boroughs Associations; and to
register for training classes and conferences. Here, you can also sign up for email
alerts. The website also now includes an online calendar of events, training, grant
deadlines, and other important deadlines.
A S S O C I AT
Technology has changed and so has our Association. That’s why PSAB moved
the Borough Discussion Group to an online forum on LinkedIn. Here, you can
connect with other officials from around the state and find out how other boroughs are handling issues in their communities.

PSAB also provides your borough with a planning calendar of important dates

Annual Report
The Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs’ (PSAB) Research Department is here to serve the 10,000
borough officials across the state. If you have questions about the Borough Code, budgeting, the Sunshine

In tandem with the Training and Professional Development Department, extensive updates were made to the 2016 Budget Bulletin, an
online document to help administrators and officials with their municipal budget preparation and operation. PSAB realizes that a borough’s
operating budget is the single most important work product that
serves a number of purposes – it allocates money between departments; authorizes expenses; and projects spending.
TE
GH
In 2015, the Research Department provided an extensive written revision to the Department of Community Development’s Borough Council Handbook. In addition to the Borough Code, the Borough Council
Handbook serves as a comprehensive governing resource for elected officials. The Research Department also
authors the monthly “Questions and Answers” column in the Borough News magazine which features commonly-asked questions from elected and appointed officials.

And, in order to assist borough officials through the reorganization
process, this department expanded tips and information for borough
officials on the biennial reorganization process, and began a “how
to” series on www.boroughs.org.

PSAB Training and Professional Development
Classroom training sessions included grant writing, managing a professional police department, municipal
administrators training, public works management, and police civil service. Webinar topics included the Ethics
Act, Right to Know Law, Duties of Council, employment and labor issues, parliamentary procedures, and
many more. Visit www.boroughs.org under “Training” for a complete schedule of classes in 2016.
PSAB also hosted the annual PA Municipal Legal Update which focuses on the best practices in the field of
municipal law. This program addresses the needs of solicitors, attorneys, municipal administrators, elected
officials and police and fire chiefs. Plan to attend the next Municipal Legal Update being held Aug. 3-4, 2016
at the Sheraton Harrisburg/Hershey.

PSAB also continues to expand the Certified Borough Officials (CBO) Program for elected or appointed
officials. This professional development course focuses on leadership; intergovernmental cooperation; infrastructure management; municipal services; municipal personnel; and finance. Upon completion, participants
receive a Certificate of Achievement at the PSAB Annual Conference.

Education is a core component of public service. Since issues and laws are constantly changing, training is critical in order to stay on top of these evolving and emerging issues. In 2015, the PSAB Training and Professional Development Department educated nearly 3,000 municipal officials through community classroom training
sessions and webinars. Over the past decade, PSAB has trained more than 27,000 municipal officials.
