  4. Intergovernmental Cooperation Act Agreements Intergovernmental cooperation agreements are defined as arrangements between two or more local governments with the purpose of achieving common goals, providing mutual services, or solving mutual problems. These agreements are governed by Pennsylvania laws and can range from simple to complex, and can be very effective in coordinating the efforts of multiple municipalities and government agencies, stretching municipal dollars, and delivering a wide range of services. Attorney Neva Stotler will handle the details of any Intergovernmental Cooperation Act agreements for your municipality.

  5. Employee Matters, Including Due Process Hearings Just like any business, a governmental entity relies on its employees to function. It is vital that the government agency, as an employer, follow all federal and state employment laws as well as the State and U.S. Constitutions. This includes ensuring that there is no employment discrimination or sexual harassment in the workplace. This also includes dealing with fair wages, overtime, and equal pay.

  6. Contract Review, Administration, and Procurement Local governments need and use contracts to conduct business. However, governments operate under strict laws regarding the types of contracts, amounts of contracts, and the public process of bidding for products and services. Employment contracts are limited in the way in which they can be used. Construction within municipalities and road projects involve contracts that require review, administration, and procurement.

  7. Right to Know Law and Sunshine Act Compliance In Pennsylvania, The Right to Know Law is an open records act that promotes transparency in government and exists to identify public records, and adjudicate disputes about what documents do and do not need to be produced to the public.

  8. It also dictates processes that local governments must adhere to to be accountable for document requests, the timing of responses, and what is produced. Similarly, the Sunshine Act dictates that government business must be conducted in open meetings with opportunities for the public to observe and comment. Conversely, there are exceptions to the law for times where private conversations among government officials are appropriate. Both of these laws impact the government every day. Navigating the requirements is a chore, and N. Stotler can assist in setting up processes for compliance, formulate responses, and litigate claims from the public that violations have occurred.
