Annual Report 2006 Centre Regional Planning Commission 2006 Annual Report Centre Region Act 537 Sewage Facilities Plan In 2006, the Centre Regional Planning Agency (CRPA) staff worked with the Centre Region mu- nicipalities and the Ad Hoc Act 537 Committee to develop a consensus on an updated Regional Sewage Facilities Plan. This Plan was adopted by the six Centre Region municipalities in October 2006. The 2006 Centre Region Act 537 Sewage Facilities Plan includes an updated Regional Growth Boundary/Sewer Service Area (RGB/SSA). Five new properties were added to the RGB/SSA in the 2006 Act 537 Update. During the preparation of this Plan, the Region’s municipalities also reached consensus on an Implementation Agreement which provides a process for considering future requests to expand the RGB/SSA. The Plan defines these future RGB/SSA expan- sion requests and major rezonings within the RGB/SSA as Developments of Regional Impact (DRI) which require in- Inside: creased regional review.

CENTRE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION Page 3 Director’s Message On behalf of the Centre Regional Planning Agency, I am proud to present our Annual Report for the 2006 calendar year. During 2006, the Centre Region municipalities achieved a number of re- gional planning milestones. Our community reached consensus on a Sewage Facilities Plan, which produced an updated Regional Growth Boundary/Sewer Service Area (RGB/SSA). The Imple- mentation Agreement resulting from this planning effort defines Developments of Regional Impact and will ensure increased re- gional dialogue on land use planning issues. This increased re- gional coordination will only strengthen our local growth manage- CRPC Bus Tour to Penn State — May 4, 2006 ment efforts, and will serve as a model for other areas of Pennsyl- vania. In the early phases of preparing this Plan, many doubted the possibility of six municipalities agreeing to a regionally consistent growth boundary for the community. The cooperation and leadership provided by our elected officials on this project illustrates once again the effectiveness of the Centre Region COG in addressing regional challenges. The community successfully advanced several other important planning efforts during the past year as well. Construction on the next phase of the Beneficial Reuse project was initiated in 2006. The ultra pure water generated through the Beneficial Reuse Pro- ject will initially be used for irrigation purposes by Fall of 2007. Progress was made on a model stream corridor protection ordi- nance to ensure the protection of our community’s important stream buffer areas. And work began on two important Area Land Use Plans, which will produce detailed land use plans for these important locations, and ensure that future land use plan- 2006 CRPC ning is coordinated with infrastructure, transportation and com- munity design issues. From a transportation standpoint, the Cen- tre County MPO completed an updated Long Range Transportation Plan, and an important section of the Belle- fonte Central Rail Trail was opened to the community in 2006. And several Centre Region municipalities began to evaluate approaches to address the affordable housing challenges faced by our community. None of these accomplishments would be possible without the continued support of our local elected officials and planning commission members. The Centre Region COG is widely viewed as a model for intergovernmental coop- eration in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The success achieved by our community during the past year is the result of regional cooperation, and the hard work and dedication of our appointed and elected officials. As your professional staff, we thank you for the time you dedicate to public service and for the work you completed on re- gional planning initiatives during the past year. We look forward to working with you in 2007 as we continue to chart a future course for our community. Bob Crum CENTRE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION Page 4 Stream Buffer Model Ordinance The CRPA staff began work in 2006 to prepare a model ordinance to protect the Region’s riparian stream corridor areas. An Ad Hoc Stream Buffer Committee was formed to provide oversight for this effort, and to provide a rec- ommendation to the Region’s municipalities on a model stream buffer ordi- nance. To begin discussions on this topic, CRPA staff developed the first draft of a model ordinance, a white paper describing the benefits of stream buffers, a list of Frequently Asked Questions on this topic and an Executive Summary of the Model Ordinance. Staff also organized a bus tour in November to visit ex- amples of riparian buffer improvement and restoration projects in the Centre Region. This trip served to educate participants on the importance of stream buffers. The Ad Hoc Committee will continue to meet in 2007, with a model ordinance expected to be ready for review by Summer 2007. Riparian Buffer Bus Tour Sewage Management Ordinance The Centre Region Act 537 Sewage Facilities Plan Update recommends the implementation of a Region-wide on-lot sewage management program. This program requires preventive maintenance for on-lot sewage disposal systems to increase the life expectancies of these systems. Highlights of the program include requirements for septic

We’ll conclude this historic anniversary next spring with the dedication of our new and renovated facility in Carlisle. In December, the ABA took the unprecedented step of granting the Law School’s new University Park campus immediate full approval and recognizing The Dickinson School of Law, in Carlisle and University Park, as the nation’s only unified two-location law school. We continue to serve as the ABA’s national pilot project for reassessing the “distance education” rules applicable to all U.S. law schools, and students in both of our locations continue to enjoy the rich curriculum enabled by our advanced audiovisual telecommunications capabilities. This year, over 4,100 extremely talented, diverse students applied for admis- sion to our law school — the highest number in the history of the Law School; by way of comparison, 1,471 students applied for admission in 2003. The aca- demic credentials and diversity of our students are stronger than at any time in the last thirty years. Outstanding scholars and advocates of renown continue to join our faculty.

Introduction to Section III: An Early and Ongoing Commitment to Experiential Educationi Section III of the Tradition, Innovation & New Beginnings is- sue of the Dickinson Law Review is entitled An Early and Ongoing Commitment to Experiential Education. The three items in this sec- tion, which span more than 100 years, demonstrate Dickinson Law's long-standing interest in, and commitment to, experiential education. The first item that is republished in this section is an editorial that appeared in the law review's first volume in 1897. This edito- rial was entitled About the Moot Court and explained the function of the items published in the law review under the heading "Moot Court." This explanation is helpful because neither the Dickinson Law Review nor any other U.S. law review currently publishes any- thing that is comparable to these "moot court" items. The Editorial from Volume One described as follows the "moot court" process that preceded these publications: The moot court has for some time played a larger role in the Dickinson School of Law than in most other law schools, and during the year just closing it has received an emphasis never before put on it.

  • 1 Achieving a Fair and Effective COVID-19 Response
    1 Achieving A Fair and Effective COVID-19 Response: An Open Letter to Vice-President Mike Pence, and Other Federal, State and Local Leaders from Public Health and Legal Experts in the United States Sustained human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus in the United States (US) appears today inevitable. The extent and impact of the outbreak in the US is difficult to predict and will depend crucially on how policymakers and leaders react. It will depend particularly on whether there is adequate funding and support for the response; fair and effective management of surging health care demand; careful and evidence-based mitigation of public fear; and necessary support and resources for fair and effective infection control. A successful American response to the COVID-19 pandemic must protect the health and human rights of everyone in the US. One of the greatest challenges ahead is to make sure that the burdens of COVID-19, and our response measures, do not fall unfairly on people in society who are vulnerable because of their economic, social, or health status. We write as experts in public health, law, and human rights, with experience in previous pandemic responses, to set forth principles and practices that should guide the efforts against COVID-19 in the US. It is essential that all institutions, public and private, address the following critical concerns through new legislation, institutional policies, leadership and spending. ADEQUATE FUNDING AND SUPPORT FOR THE RESPONSE MUST BE PROVIDED ● Federal, state and local governments should act immediately to allocate funds to ensure that necessary measures can be carried out and that basic human needs continue to be met as the epidemic unfolds.
