E.6 Community Facilities Profile E.6 Community Facilities Profile Introduction The administrative structure and various community services and facilities provided within the IWS Region are essential for maintaining and enhancing the quality of life of those who live, work, and play within the three boroughs. It is important to recognize that these facilities and services can be either physical or programmatic and provided by a host of private, public, and quasi-public entities. This chapter identifies the existing condition of the region’s community facilities services, and financial resources, and provides the basis for the strategies that offer recommendations for their expansion or improvement. For each borough council, the critical decision in providing public services and new facilities is the balance between need and cost. The cost of providing the desired quantity and quality of community facilities usually exceeds municipal resources. However, with careful planning, successful grant writing, and meaningful follow through the boroughs may narrow the gap between the desired level of service and that for which residents are willing to pay. The services and facilities discussed in this chapter include form and function government, financial resources, educational facilities, library services, health facilities, emergency services, public sewerage facilities, water systems, stormwater management, and private utilities. Map E.6.1 identifies the location of community facilities within the region. The major sources of information used in this chapter were the Cumberland County Comprehensive Plan, municipal surveys, and extensive Internet research. In preparing this chapter, every effort was made to promote each borough’s individual needs with the most benefit to the region. Structure of Government in the IWS Region Federal and State Representation As of 2007, all three of the boroughs were in the 19th U.S. Congressional District. U.S. Representatives were Robert Casey and Arlen Spector and the U.S. Representative was Todd Russell Platts. All three boroughs were in the 31st Pennsylvania Senatorial District; Patricia Vance was the Pennsylvania State Senator. The region was split between Pennsylvania House Districts 87 and 88. Glen Grell was the State Representative for the 87th District, which contains all of Camp Hill Borough and a portion of Wormleysburg Borough. Lemoyne Borough and a portion of Wormleysburg Borough are included in the 88th House District and were represented by State Representative Jerry L. Nailor. Borough Code The present form of borough government is the weak mayor form, which governed all incorporated municipalities in the 19th century. Boroughs have a strong and dominant council, a weak executive and other elected officers with powers independent of the council. The governing body of the borough is the elected council. The mayor is elected for a four-year term; council members are elected for four-year overlapping terms. A borough that is not divided into wards usually has seven council members. The powers of council are broad and extensive, covering virtually the whole range of urban municipal functions. Elected and appointed officials for the three boroughs, as of 2007 are listed in Table E.6.1. The elected officers of a borough government are the mayor, council members, and three auditors or a controller. Other, less influential elected positions include the tax assessor, tax collector, and constables. Many other borough officers and employees are appointed by the borough council and include the Imagine West Shore represents a collaborative planning effort among Camp Hill, Lemoyne, and Wormleysburg to build upon our location, promote our diversity, and encourage opportunities for revitalization to realize our vision of serving as the gateway to the West Shore. E.6-1 Final Draft - January 9, 2009 Imagine West Shore positions of treasurer, solicitor, engineer, manager, street commissioner, and secretary, among other officers. By a two-thirds vote, it may appoint a professional accountant or firm to conduct the annual audit. Table E.6.1.

Source: Governor’s Center for Local Government Services, 2007 It is the borough managers with the assistance of hired staff that implement the policies enacted by borough council, as well as carry out the day-to-day operations of the boroughs. These daily operations include, but are not limited to, handling citizen inquiries, payroll, financing, and personnel issues. The Pennsylvania Borough Code authorizes the Borough Council to create a variety of other boards, commissions, and authorities to assist in carrying out local government functions. In order for the IWS region to successfully implement the comprehensive plan, these committees, boards, and personnel will be called upon to organize, administer, and/or enforce the various policies or programs that may be adopted as a result of the comprehensive plan. Planning Commission The Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, Act 247 as amended, provides for the creation of a planning commission by the borough council to assist and/or oversee the administration of the planning program. The planning commission consists of three to nine members who must be residents of the municipality. The term of a planning commission member is four years. The terms are staggered and any Imagine West Shore represents a collaborative planning effort among Camp Hill, Lemoyne, and Wormleysburg to build upon our location, promote our diversity, and encourage opportunities for revitalization to realize our vision of serving as the gateway to the West Shore. E.6-2 Final Draft - January 9, 2009 Imagine West Shore vacancy occurring during a term of office is filled for the unexpired portion of the term. A planning commission member cannot serve on the Zoning Hearing Board and only a certain number of planning commission members can be officers or employees of the municipality, based on the size of the planning commission. All three of the boroughs in the IWS region have municipal planning commissions. Through the planning process, the planning commission has an important function as an advisory board to the governing body on matters pertaining to the comprehensive plan, land use and development, and other community related topics. The planning commission has two functions at the request of the governing body: to prepare a comprehensive plan, and to keep records of all of its actions. Under MPC section 209.1, it is also empowered to: • Make recommendations to the governing body concerning the adoption or amendment of an official map. • Prepare and present to the governing body of a municipality a zoning ordinance, and make recommendations to the governing body on proposed recommendations to it. • Prepare, recommend, and administer subdivision and land development and planned residential development regulations. • Prepare and present to the governing body of the municipality a building code and a housing code and make recommendations concerning proposed amendments thereto. • Do such other acts or make studies as may be necessary to fulfill the duties and obligations imposed by this act. • Prepare and present to the governing body of the municipality an environmental study. • Submit to the governing body of a municipality a recommended capital improvements program. • Prepare and present to the governing body of the municipality a water survey, which shall be consistent with the State Water Plan and any applicable water resources plan adopted by a river basin commission. The water survey shall be conducted in consultation with any public water supplier in the area to be surveyed. • Promote public interest in, and understanding of, the comprehensive plan and planning. • Make recommendations to governmental, civic, and private agencies and individuals as to the effectiveness of the proposals of such agencies and individuals. • Hold public hearings and meetings. • Present testimony before any board. • Require from other departments

Nuclear Power and Public Safety Benefits and Potential Risks of Nuclear Power Used properly, nuclear fission (the “splitting” of uranium atoms) is a safe, dependable source of electricity. It is reasonable, though, to be concerned about what might happen in the event of a serious incident at a power plant. A power plant reactor cannot produce a nuclear explosion. The uranium fuel contains very little fissionable material. As for radiation, the complex structure of a nuclear power plant is designed to prevent the release of radiation. A serious incident, however, could allow some radiation to escape, most likely as a cloud, or “plume,” of radioactive steam that would be carried away from the plant by the wind. The degree of risk to the public would depend on the size of the plume, the direction and speed of the wind, and other factors. Emergency Planning for the Three Mile Island Area Special plans have already been developed to protect the public in the event of a nuclear incident in your area. These plans give specific attention to people who – like you – live, work or visit within 10 miles of a nuclear power plant.
