The office of Borough Manager is hereby created by the Council
of the Borough of Verona.
The Manager shall be appointed for an indefinite term by a majority
of all members of the Council. The Manager shall serve at the pleasure
of the Council, and he or she may be removed at any time by a majority
vote of all its members. At least 30 days before such removal is to
become effective, the Council shall furnish the Manager with a written
statement setting forth its intention to remove him or her.
The Manager shall be chosen solely on the basis of executive
and administrative abilities, with special reference to the duties
of the office as herein outlined. The Manager need not be a resident
of the Borough of Verona or of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at
the time of appointment, but during the tenure of office he or she
may reside outside the Borough of Verona only with the approval of
the Council. If the Council fails within a reasonable time, not to
exceed 60 days after the appointment, to approve the Manager's
residence outside the Borough of Verona, he or she must immediately
become, and during his or her tenure remain, a resident of the Borough
of Verona.
Before entering upon his or her duties, the Manager shall give
a bond, in the sum of $10,000 to the Borough of Verona with a bonding
company as surety, to be approved by the Council, conditioned upon
the faithful performance of his or her duties, the premium for said
bond to be paid by the Borough of Verona.
The salary of the Borough of Verona Manager shall be fixed from
time to time by the Council.
If the Manager becomes ill or needs to be absent from the Borough
of Verona, he or she shall designate one qualified member of his staff
to perform the duties of the Manager during his absence or disability.
The person so designated shall not perform these duties for a period
longer than two weeks without the approval of the Council.
