[Adopted 5-6-2010 by Ord. No. 881]
[Amended 6-16-2011 by Ord. No. 898]
Whenever the Chief of Police or his designee determines that
an extra-duty assignment shall be performed, such assignment shall
first be offered to all eligible members of the Collective Bargaining
Unit, hereinafter referred to as CBU. If the eligible members of the
CBU refuse or are otherwise unable to work the assignment, it may
be offered to other members of the Police Department not covered by
the CBU.
A party requesting an extra-duty assignment, the Chief of Police
or his designee shall enter into an agreement providing for extra-duty
assignments for which the Borough shall be compensated at the rate
set from time to time by resolution. Such agreements shall be in accordance
with the following standards:
A.
The party requesting the assignment shall execute and deliver an
agreement in a form approved by the Borough Council by resolution
from time to time. The Chief of Police or his designee shall be authorized
to execute any such agreement, provided that it has been submitted
in the form approved by resolution.
B.
The Borough shall be responsible to provide all necessary claims
for damage for personal injury, including death or damage to property,
which may arise or result from the Borough's performance under the
contract.
C.
The party requesting the assignment of police officers shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Borough from any and all claims made by said
police officers for injury or illness while performing extra-duty
assignments for said party. In addition, the party shall hold the
Borough harmless from any and all claims made by any third party for
injury, illness or damage to property arising out of the extra-duty
assignment of a police officer.
D.
Any and all extra-duty assignments shall be determined and approved
by the Chief of Police or his designee. The Chief of Police or his
designee may assign a patrol vehicle for use in performing extra-duty
if and in the event it is determined that the use of a patrol vehicle
is necessary to perform the contracted duty.
E.
The work to be performed shall be considered "extra-duty assignment
from independent contractors" and will not be considered a regular-duty
assignment. The assignment of extra-duty assignments may be designated
by the Chief of Police to any police officer as may be necessary.
A.
Payments due under such an agreement pursuant to an emergency as
designated by the Police Chief or his designee shall be paid 15 days
from the date of billing.
B.
When a party desires to contract with the Borough of Oceanport for
needed extra-duty services by a police officer, an escrow shall be
posted based on the rates set forth per resolution, made payable to
the Borough of Oceanport. The Borough Administrator and Chief of Police
are hereby authorized to establish such rules and regulations that
are necessary to implement this provision. The escrow amount shall
be determined by the CFO in conjunction with the Police Chief.
C.
Rates for extra-duty assignments will be negotiated between the Collective
Bargaining Unit and the Borough of Oceanport and shall be set by resolution.
