Transparency
The Borough of Myerstown is committed to transparent governance. This means that government officials act openly, with citizens having the opportunity to have full knowledge of the decisions the officials are making. To this end, the Borough has made sweeping changes to its website over the past few years to make available the following information:
- Audited financial statements from 2013 to present
- Manager’s Budget Message with Approved Budgets for 2020 and 2021
- Council Meeting Minutes from 2012 to present
- Planning Commission Meeting Minutes from 2013 to present
- Listing of Citizen Rights under PA Law that pertain to local government
- All ordinances codified and available in a searchable format
- Recent news and announcements
The Borough believes that the availability of information on government policies and actions, a clear sense of organizational responsibility, and an assurance that governments are efficiently administered and free of systemic waste are important components of transparent governance. Every act of Borough Council, deliberation of any issue, award of a contract, adoption of motions/resolutions, and creation of local laws is documented and catalogued on our website.
