The Central Keystone Council of Governments (CKCOG) is an organization of central Pennsylvania municipalities which have pooled resources to more efficiently manage the Uniform Construction Code, Property Maintenance, Rental Licensing programs and Zoning Enforcement. Through this cooperation, member communities are able to deliver efficient, cost-effective inspection services to homeowners, businesses and the contractors and builders who are serving them.
This notice as a courtesy to let you know of current changes to the ‘contractual’ relationship between Monroe Township, Snyder County and the CKCOG. As with any contract terms, Monroe Township and the CKCOG have always reserved the right to terminate the agreement with a 60-day notice to either party. The Monroe Township Supervisors took action to terminate the current UCC Building Inspection contract at their March meeting.
Therefore, effective June 24, 2017, the CKCOG will no longer be providing UCC Building Permitting and inspection services to the residents of Monroe Township.
However, if your UCC Application for Plans Examination and Building Permit was submitted prior to this deadline, the CKCOG will still issue your UCC Building Permit and continue to perform inspections through completion of such UCC Building Permit. You should continue to contact our office as inspections are required, and will receive your Certificate of Occupancy from this agency.
In the future (after June 24, 2017), should you need to apply for a new UCC Building Permit, please contact Monroe Township to be directed to their new Building Code Official (BCO) of record.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this transition.

Kidde’s Industrial/Commercial Fire Extinguisher RECALL
http://www.kidde.com/home-safety/en/us/support/product-alerts/recall-of-industrial-fire-extinguishers/ (Click to go to Kidde’s recall page)
Recall of Industrial Fire Extinguishers
Kidde, in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, is recalling some of its 10-pound industrial fire extinguishers that have a welded steel neck collar cylinder, are 19-21 inches high, were manufactured between the years 1991 and 2000, and sold to commercial fire equipment distributors and some stores. These units incorporate black plastic Zytel® nylon valves that may degrade over time, and may result in the valve spontaneously separating from the cylinder. These units were primarily designed for the commercial and industrial market, and the vast majority of them will be found in businesses and other commercial spaces. However, a limited number of consumers may have purchased these for their home.
Description
This alert only applies to 10-pound industrial fire extinguishers that have a welded steel neck collar cylinder, are 19-21 inches high, and were manufactured between the years 1991 and 2000. It does not apply to Kidde’s smaller 2 and 5-pound residential extinguishers.
Welcome New Members
The Central Keystone Council of Governments is pleased to welcome two new Member Municipalities; Anthony Township, Lycoming County and Rush Township, Northumberland County, have both been approved for full Membership in the COG. Together, these two Municipalities add nearly 3000 residents to our service area. Our staff looks forward to meeting the unique challenges each of these new Municipalities faces and delivering professional, efficient, and cost-effective inspection services to their residents.
Anthony Township will be utilizing our UCC Building Permit and Plan Review services, you can click on their map icons here for additional information and Zoning contact numbers for these townships. Rush Township will be utilizing both UCC Building Permit and Zoning services, and we anticipate this “one-stop shop” will streamline the permitting process for township residents as it has in our other full service Municipalities.
If you are a resident of any of these Municipalities and have questions regarding our services, please contact us by phone at 570-522-1326/1-877-457-9401 or email to permits@ckcog.com
