Pursuant to the terms of N.J.S.A. 26:3-9, the provisions of Title 26, Chapter 3, Article 1, Subdivision B, of the Revised Statutes of New Jersey, are hereby adopted, and, in accordance therewith, there is hereby established in and for the Township of Holland, in the County of Hunterdon, New Jersey, a local Board of Health composed of seven members to be appointed in accordance with the terms of this chapter.
[Amended 6-8-1988 by Ord. No. 1988-5]
Each member of the Board of Health shall be a resident of the Township of Holland. The membership shall be in two classes:
A. 
Class I shall consist of a member of the Township governing body appointed by said governing body to serve for a term of one year. A vacancy in the office of such member shall exist if the person so appointed shall cease, during the aforesaid one-year term, to be a member of the Township governing body. Such vacancy shall be filled by the governing body for the unexpired portion of the term.
B. 
Class II shall consist of six persons, none of whom are members of the Township governing body, appointed by said governing body, and each to serve for a term of four years and until his successor is appointed; provided, however, that in making any appointments under this chapter because of an enlargement of the membership of this class from four to six members, the first appointments shall be made so that the term of one additional member shall expire on December 31, 1989, and the other shall expire on December 31, 1991, and thereafter, at the expiration of said terms, all appointments to said class shall be for a four-year period. Any vacancy in the office of such member shall be filled by the governing body for the unexpired portion of the term.
C. 
In accordance with an ordinance of the Board of Health,[1] and as permitted by statute, there is also hereby established one alternate member. In accordance with N.J.S.A. 26: 3-3, such alternate member shall hold a term of two years and be appointed by the governing body of this Township.
