A. In addition to any other penalty provided by law, a borough grant, contract, or lease entered into in violation of this chapter is voidable by the borough. In a determination under this section of whether to void a grant, contract, or lease, the interests of third parties who could be damaged may be taken into account. The borough attorney shall give notice of intent to void a borough grant, contract, or lease under this section no later than 30 days after a determination of a violation under this chapter.

B. In addition to any other penalty provided for by law, the borough may require a borough loan received in violation of this chapter to become immediately payable.

C. Any borough action taken in violation of this chapter is voidable, except that the interests of third parties and the nature of the violation may be taken into account. The borough attorney may pursue any other available legal and equitable remedies.

D. The borough attorney, via the borough manager, may recover any fee, compensation, gift, or benefit received by a person as a result of a violation of this chapter by a current or former borough official. An action to recover under this subsection must be brought within two years after discovery of the violation, or five years after the violation occurred, whichever is sooner. (Ord. 17-10-481 § 4)
