Open Records

Connoquenessing Borough utilizes the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records Request Form which can be obtained on Connoquenessing Borough’s web site, in person, fax, via e-mail, or by U.S. mail

Connoquenessing Borough adopted the guidelines promulgated by the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records as its official “Right-to-Know Policy.”

Resolution No. 2008-09
Resolution 2008-09 Right to Know
To file a request use this form:  RTKRequestForm 2018-11
Requests for records should be made to:
Vickie L. Forbes, Connoquenessing Borough
228 Constitution Avenue, Connoquenessing, PA 16027
724-789-9097
connoqboro@zoominternet.net

To file an appeal under the Right-to-Know Law, a requester must provide all of the following:

  • A copy of the RTK request.
  • A copy of the Agency’s response (or a notation that the request was “deemed denied,” meaning the Agency didn’t respond at all).
  • A written statement explaining the grounds on which the requester asserts that the record is a public record.
  • A written statement addressing any grounds stated by the agency for denying the request.

All appeals must be made in writing and must be submitted to the Office of Open Records within 15 business days from the mailing date of the Agency’s response or the date that the request was deemed denied. If that timeframe expires before you provide the required information to the OOR, you lose your right to appeal and may need to file a new RTK request with the Agency.
