Under Act 22, a request for an audio or video recording in the possession of a law enforcement agency must be made within 60 days of the date the recording was made. Requests must be submitted in person or by certified mail (§67A03). A written request must be submitted to the Agency Open Records Officer (AORO) for the law enforcement agency that possesses the record. The request is not officially received until it is personally delivered to the AORO, or when it is marked as "delivered" by certified mail to Open Records Officer, Radnor Township, 301 Iven Avenue, Wayne, PA 19087-5297.

The request, which may be submitted on Radnor Township's Request for Police Audio and Video Recording form, must include:

• A statement describing the requester's relationship to the event recorded; and
• If the recorded incident took place inside a residence, the request must also identify every person present at the time of the recording, unless unknown and not reasonably ascertainable.

The current fee is based upon a preliminary set of stormwater needs and priorities and these will change over time. The fee was set to remain constant for the initial 5 years. However, this may need to be adjusted by the Board of Commissioners (BOC) in the future.

Fees can only be spent on the dedicated program of services for which they are collected. Property taxes may be used for any and all general expenses of local government, such as police, zoning, parks and recreation, etc. Property taxes do not apply to tax-exempt properties.

All developed properties in Radnor Township, including tax-exempt properties are subject to the fee.

Like many communities, Radnor determined that the impervious surface of a property is a more equitable way to distribute the costs of public stormwater services as it provides a relative measurement of a property's runoff.

Because the impervious surfaces on properties classified as ODP (for stormwater billing purposes) have been measured, property owners can reduce their stormwater fee by removing impervious surfaces on their property. The Township has also committed to adopt a credit program by mid-2014. Credits will likely be granted for activities that help the Township avoid stormwater program costs funded by the fee. Additional information will be provided at future BOC meetings and on the Township website.

An appeals process will be implemented prior to January 2014 to handle any potential errors in the billing process. Once you receive your bill, you will be able to submit an appeal application to address the error. Additional information may be required or requested by the township depending on the nature of the appeal.View the Stormwater Appeal Packet.
