WEST WHITELAND TOWNSHIP MEMORANDUM DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: January 22, 2015 Board of Supervisors Mimi Gleason Amendment to Chapter 253 - Sewers Background: At the January 28, 2015 meeting, the Board authorized the advertisement of an amendment to Chapter 253 of the Township Code removing from the sewer ordinance specific dollar amounts for rental rates and tapping fees, as well as the specific time and period for billing.

The proposed ordinance amendment was duly advertised in the Daily Local News on January 14, 2015. Following the adoption of the proposed amendment, the Board will be asked to enact a Resolution establishing the specific dollar amounts for rental rates and time and period of billing. The fees contained in the proposed Resolution represent an increase in the annual sewer fee from $260 to $270 per EDU. Motion: To adopt Ordinance No. 420 amending Chapter 253 "Sewers and Sewage Disposal" of the Township Code removing specific dollar amounts for rental rates and tapping fees and the time and period for billing from the sewer ordinance.

WEST WHITELAND TOWNSHIP BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Steve Soles, Chairman George Turner, Vice Chairman ATTEST: Mimi Gleason, Secretary Joseph Denham, Member 3 WEST WHITELAND TOWNSHIP MEMORANDUM DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: January 21, 2015 Board of Supervisors Mimi Gleason Email Communications and Retention Policy Motion: To adopt the revised Email Communications and Retention Policy, dated January 28, 2015. Background: The current email retention policy requires all Township email that is not a public record to be deleted after 45 days. The new policy would change that practice for staff, who now will be able to retain email that they find useful for project tracking, documentation, memory jogging, etc. Capacity limits of 1-2 GB (depending on the user) instead will be added to each staff email account. The Board's email will continue to be deleted after 45 days. The revisions to the policy also clarify the terms used and the requirements for retaining emails that are public records. For example, in the existing policy, terms like "account holder" and "record custodian" were used interchangeably with "personnel" and "email user", all meaning the same thing but making the policy harder to follow. The simpler revised language should make it easier for users of Township email accounts to understand their responsibilities for retaining email. As a side note, the staff also is surveying the volunteer boards and commissions to determine which members wish to continue using Township email addresses. So far, the result is that most do not and will no longer be required to use their Township email address. Any members who do wish to continue using it will be permitted to do so. All of the boards and commissions will continue to use the SharePoint portal to access board packets and other information. With only a few exceptions, that practice serves its purpose and is working well. Strategic Link is working with any volunteers who are having trouble accessing SharePoint. Employee Handbook — Section 8 Communications Date Last Revised/Approved January 28, 2015 Subject: Email Communications and Retention Policy Purpose: Establish procedures for the management and use of the Township's email and electronic communication systems. Authority. West Whiteland Township Board of Supervisors Application. All West Whiteland Township Employees, Volunteers, Appointees, and Elected Officials Responsibility. The Township Manager is responsible for overseeing and implementing this policy. I. Objective This statement sets forth West Whiteland Township's ("Township") policy with regard to access to, review of, disclosure of, and proper use of messages sent or received by employees or other authorized users of municipal email, voice mail, facsimile, or other electronic communications systems. It also confirms roles and responsibilities for implementation, including management of litigation holds. The Township reserves the right to amend this policy at any time. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure address the discovery of electronically stored information and the Pennsylvania Municipal Records Act addresses retention of public records, including electronic records. This policy is intended to confortn to those regulations and shall be construed in accordance with those regulations. 11. Scope This policy applies to: • • • • Ill. All email systems provided by the Township; All users of Township email accounts; All email sent or received using Township email systems; and All internal or external electronic systems used by Township personnel to access Township email accounts. Terms • Deletion — removal of an email from an email account. • Disposition — removal of a deleted email and all related data from a server. • Electronic Mail or Email — any message sent in an electronic form from one computer device to another, including but not limited to instant messages. • Personal Email — An email originating from an account not managed by West 8.2-1 Employee Handbook — Section 8 Communications Date Last Revised/Approved January 28, 2015 Whiteland Township (e.g. personal email address, volunteers' work email) • User - All West Whiteland Township Employees, Volunteers, Appointees, and Elected Officials that are assigned a Township email address. • Public Record Email — any information that documents a transaction or activity of the Township and that is created, received, or retained pursuant to law or in connection with a transaction, business, or activity of the Township and is not exempt under Section 708 of the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law (65 Pa.C.S. § 701, et seq.), other Federal or State law or regulations, judicial order or decree, or protected by privilege. • System Records Custodian — Individual or department (IT) responsible for maintaining all retained emails within the Township's Email System(s) and servers. IV. Policy A. Email Systems 1. Use a. The email system is provided at the expense of the Township to assist in carrying out the business of the municipality. The email system permits authorized users to communicate with each other internally and with selected outside individuals, business, and other service providers that the Township, at its sole discretion, decides should be connected to the system. b. The Township considers the email system to be for business use only. While it is possible that employees may decide to send personal messages, the Township assumes no responsibility for their content or for maintaining their privacy, and municipal employees have no expectation that such privacy will be maintained. In order to ensure that the system functions properly and that the Township and/or its employees are not liable for improper use of the Internet, the Township considers all messages sent or received as business messages, and thus, property of the Township. Conducting business unrelated to the Township, other than incidental personal traffic, is expressly prohibited. c. Because of our intent to operate within the law, the Township reserves the right to access, review, copy, or delete all email messages for any purpose and to disclose them to any party (inside or outside the Township) as it deems appropriate or required by law. This includes the right to install software that monitors email and Internet usage. The Township, however, bears no responsibility for the content of messages sent or received by its employees. The Township does not and will not 8.2-2 Employee Handbook Section 8 Communications Date Last Revised/Approved January 28, 2015 preview, edit or approve material on a routine basis in the email system. All messages sent on the email system are attributable solely to the individual users of the email system, and the Township is not a party to them. The Township shall not be liable for, assume any legal responsibility for, or bear any costs arising out of email communications flowing in or out of the Township's computer system in contravention of the provisions of this Policy. d. Should employees make incidental use of the email system (including Internet email) for the purpose of transmitting or receiving personal messages, such messages will be treated no differently than other messages. The Township reserves the right to access, review, copy, delete, or disclose them for any purpose — see section 1.c above. Accordingly, authorized users should not use the email system to send, receive, or store any messages that they wish to keep private. (Incidental use of the email system is defined as occasional, casual, minor, or insignificant use that does not impact upon an employee's duties or impede business-use operations.) e. No email messages or information should be created, sent, or forwarded which may reasonably be deemed to be intimidating, hostile or offensive in nature, or which is discriminatory on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or any other basis that is unlawful under applicable state and federal law. Nor should any visually harassing, obscene, profane, abusive, or offensive language be transmitted. Any violation of this policy is grounds for disciplinary action up to and including discharge. f. No email or other electronic communication may be sent which hides the identity of the sender or represents the sender as someone else. All messages communicated on the Township's email system should contain the sending employee's name. The Township bears no responsibility for any consequences resulting from any employee who uses the -mail system for any fraudulent, or other illicit purpose, or contrary to the provisions of this Policy. g. Any employees who become aware of misuse of the Township's email system must contact the Township Manager immediately. 2. Privileged Communications Some of the messages sent, received or stored in the email system may be privileged communications between Township and its attorneys, or other entities. 8.2-3 Employee Handbook Section 8 Communications January 28, 2015 Date Last Revised/Approved Upon receipt of any such message, do not forward it or its contents to others inside Township without the authorization of all parties. Never forward such messages or contents to any outsiders. To the extent practicable, all efforts should be made to send such privileged communications in an encrypted form. Moreover, as the Township has not established an encryption standard for use, all encryption software, prior to sending any message, should be approved by the Township Manager. 3. Viewing and Protecting Email Messages In order to guard further against dissemination and disclosure of proprietary information, employees should exercise caution when accessing their messages in the presence of others. Email windows should not be left open on the screen when the computer is unattended. Users shall not allow any other person to use their name and password to gain access to an email system. Passwords are required and should be changed regularly. Township reserves the right to impose guidelines requiring mandatory password changes and encryption measures to provide additional measures of security. 4. Retention of Email Messages a. General Email Most emails are created primarily for routine communication or information exchange. These messages should be considered routine correspondence that have no administrative value after the email has been read by the recipient and may be promptly deleted by the email recipient. Examples of routine correspondence messages: • Notices about meetings or events; • Internal or external requests for information (with the exception of open records requests under the Right-to-Know Law or discovery requests pursuant to litigation); and • Internal or external announcements. b. Public Record Email When the contents of an email, including attachments, are not a routine communication or information exchange, such email may be deemed a Public Record Email. As potential public records, they shall be saved for at least the required retention period. They may be stored within individual users' email folders/files or other network systems. 8.2-4 Employee Handbook — Section 8 Communications Date Last Revised/Approved January 28, 2015 Responsibility for assignment of retention period and retention of Public Record Email lies with the user who received it (in the "to" line, not as a "cc"). If a user is unable to determine the appropriate retention period, the Department Head or Township Manager shall make such determination. c. Personal Email Accounts. Users are directed not to use personal (non-Township) email accounts for the purpose of conducting any Township business. d. Default Retention Period. The following are the default retention periods for emails of the individual members of the Board of Supervisors within the email system (not including Public Record Emails placed within a dedicated storage area on a server in accordance with subsection 4b above); • • • All emails retained for more than 45 days on active email servers shall be automatically deleted. This auto-delete policy applies to messages within all folders (inbox folders, sent file folders, draft file folders, etc.) stored on active email servers; All emails marked for deletion and sitting in a "deleted items" folder for more than seven days on an active email server(s) shall be automatically deleted; All deleted emails, whether intentionally or automatically deleted, shall be retained in an electronic file designated by the System Records Custodian. Deleted emails shall be retained for no longer than four (4) months. At the conclusion of the third (3rd) month of the deleted email's retention period, the System Records Custodian (IT) shall obtain the Board of Supervisors' authorization to dispose of the deleted emails by submitting a resolution in accordance with the Municipal Retention Manual. All other users (non-uniformed Township employees) shall have a size limit on their email accounts or otherwise manage their email capacity and follow the requirements of this email policy e. Roles & Responsibilities Email Users are responsible for: • Saving Public Record Emails in the email system or moving them to dedicated storage on the networked file system; 8.2-5 Employee Handbook — Section 8 Communications Date Last Revised/Approved January 28, 2015 • Deleting General Emails if not needed for business operations; • Seeking assistance from the Township Manager or Department Head when unsure about how to categorize specific types of messages; and • After notification of a litigation hold by the Township Manager or Solicitor, preserving all messages, records, and information that fall within the scope of the hold. • Non-exempt employees shall not access their Township email on personal time unless approved by their department head or Township Manager. System Records Custodians (IT) are responsible for: • Establishing and publishing standards for email account administration, storage allocations, and automatic archiving of messages; • Providing facilities and instructions for saving Public Record Emails; • Providing the required end user training and helpdesk support; • Maintaining system and email integrity; • Managing server implementations of litigation holds that are issued by Township Manager or Solicitor; and • Suspending automatic deletion processes, as necessary to preserve specific electronic messages, records, and information that fall within the scope of the litigation hold, and that reside on active servers. Township Manager and Department Heads are responsible for: • f. providing records retention guidance to staff within the Township and their respective departments in accordance with this policy, the Municipal Records Manual, and any other applicable retention policy adopted by the Board of Supervisors. Litigation Holds When litigation is pending or threatened against the Township or its employees, the law imposes a duty upon the Township to preserve all documents and records that pertain to the issues. A litigation hold directive must be issued to the legal custodians of those documents by the Township Manager. A litigation hold directive overrides this email retention policy, as well as any records retention schedules that may have otherwise called for the transfer, disposal, or destruction of relevant documents, until the hold has been cleared. 8,2-6 Employee Handbook — Section 8 Communications Date Last Revised/Approved January 28, 2015 Email accounts of separated employees that have been placed on litigation hold status must be maintained by the Systems Records Custodian until the hold is released. No employee who has received a litigation hold directive may alter or delete an electronic record that falls within the scope of that hold. Those employees are required to provide access to or copies of any electronic records that they have downloaded and saved or moved to some other storage account or device. 5.

Background: Current purchasing procedures too often have become time consuming and a source of undue frustration. The staff has worked to streamline the process, while maintaining controls appropriate to the amount of each purchase. In the past, multiple people had to sign off on even the smallest of purchases. Purchases over $10,000 followed the same process as competitive bidding, even though the state limit was over $19,000, adding time and cost to each purchase. The revised policy allows more flexibility for smaller purchases. At least 3 written quotes are required for purchases over $10,500, and typically will be obtained for purchases over $500. Any purchases expected to be over $19,400 will follow the requirements for competitive bidding. The Board apparently never formally adopted the current purchasing policy and procedures, which is included in the packet for your reference. The revised policy only refers to just that – policies, such as purchasing limits. Standard operating procedures for ordering commonly used stocked items, going to bid, etc., will be maintained by the responsible staff. 2015 Limits Up to $250 $250$500 $500$2,500 $2,500$10,500 $10,500$19,400 $19,400 and over Price quote before purchase PO before purchase Notifications before purchase Approvals before purchase Credit card may be used for purchase No No Yes No Yes Yes – 1 No Yes No Yes Yes – 3 Yes Yes No Yes Yes – 3 Yes Yes Yes Yes – 3, per state law Yes Yes Yes BID Yes, if approved by Mgr or Chief Yes, if approved by Mgr or Chief Purchasing Guidelines Date Last Revised/Approved: January 28, 2015 SECTION I. Purpose The purpose of this policy is to establish the procedures for the purchase of goods and services. Purchases will be made in accordance with sound financial practices, Township policies, and applicable state statutes. SECTION II. Purchase Orders and Authorization Limits Funds for all purchases must be available in budget line items prior to the preparation of a purchase order. If funds are not available in the applicable budget line item, then written approval from the Township Manager is required before requisitioning funds or approving a purchase order. Requisitions are requests to purchase goods and services, and describe what is being purchased, the vendor, the cost and any other pertinent information. Approved requisitions become purchase orders that are applied to the applicable budgetary line item and may be provided to the vendor. West Whiteland requires purchase orders for most purchases to aid in accounting and budget tracking. The following authorization limits have been set for purchasing goods and services. 1. Up to $2,500 a. up to $250 Purchasing Agent, Public Works Superintendent, or Department Head or designee, as applicable for the purchase being made, verifies funding is available in the budget line item and approves the purchase.

The Purchasing Agent maintains operating procedures for using Quick Quote and for competitive bidding. 2 SECTION III. Stocked Items The Purchasing Agent will maintain a list of stocked items, such as office supplies, paper towels, cleaners, etc., for ordering. Employees will note when goods need to be re-ordered via the method established by the Purchasing Agent (form, spreadsheet, etc.) Periodically, the Purchasing Agent will work with the departments to update the stocked item list to reflect needed items for which general or bulk ordering is beneficial. The Purchasing Agent also will routinely explore options for bulk or cooperative purchasing that will save money. SECTION IV.

In addition, receipts for all purchases must be submitted to the Finance Director or designee within one (1) business day of the use of the card for reconciliation with the monthly statement. Use of credit cards and procurement cards for personal use by any employee or Township elected or appointed official is strictly prohibited. SECTION VI. Petty Cash Petty cash is intended to pay for or reimburse staff for small amounts, generally under $25. Reimbursements for larger amounts should be handled through the accounts payable process, unless cash is needed at the time of purchase (e.g. to pay for lunch for a meeting). 3 There are four petty cash drawers – in Finance, Police, Codes and Admin. Receipts will be provided following every request for petty cash. An employee in each department is assigned responsibility for disbursing petty cash and reconciling the drawer when requesting replenishment. Quarterly, the Accounting Clerk in the Finance Department will audit the drawers. SECTION VII. Gifts or Conflicts Employees and elected and appointed officials are expressly forbidden from soliciting or accepting money, gifts, gratuities, services, favors, or anything of monetary value from any person, company, firm or corporation to which any purchase order or contract is or might be awarded or from a party to any potential subcontract, as per Section 1103.b.c.d of Public Official & Public Employee Ethics Law.

Whether the vendor can perform the contract or provide the material or service promptly, or within the time specified, without delay or interference. c. The character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience, and efficiency of the bidder. d. The quality of performance of previous contracts, orders or services. e. The previous and existing compliance by the bidder with laws and ordinances relating the contract, order or service. f. The sufficiency of the financial resources and ability of the vendor to perform the contract, fill the order or provide the service. g. The quality, availability and adaptability of the supplier, or contractual services to the particular use required. h. The ability of the bidder to provide future maintenance and service for the use of the subject of the contract. 2. Maintenance Contracts. The Purchasing Agent will maintain all records and information concerning maintenance agreements (A maintenance agreement is defined as fixed fee service provided by a contractor for periodic maintenance of a building or equipment). Prior to renewal of any such agreement, the Purchasing Agent will contact the appropriate Department Head to determine if the agreement should be renewed. Department Heads will advise the Purchasing Agent of any change in the status of items covered by maintenance agreements. 3. Gifts and Gratuities. Township employees, agents and officers are expressly forbidden from soliciting or accepting money, gifts, gratuities, services, favors, or anything of monetary value from any person, company, firm or corporation to which any purchase order or contract is or might be awarded or from a party to any potential 16 1/13/2015 subcontract, as per Section 1103.b.c.d of Public Official & Public Employee Ethics Law Title 65 Pa Consolidated Statues.

The vendor’s invoice must be signed by the authorized employee receiving the material. In addition, the purchaser and/or receiver of the goods or service will indicate on the invoice the reason the item(s) was purchased and submit to their supervisor. By signing the invoice, the purchaser and supervisor acknowledge receipt of the goods or services in the quantities ordered. Supervisors will review the invoice, assign the budgetary account number and forward the signed invoices to the Purchasing Agent on a daily basis. The Purchasing Agent must have all signed invoices in order to verify the accuracy of the vendor’s monthly statement. Invoices will then be forwarded to the Finance Department for review and payment. Failure to follow the invoicing process will require that person to contact vendor and explain to the vendor why there is a payment delay. 17 1/13/2015
