There is hereby established an Americans with
Disabilities Act Advisory Board for the Borough of Seaside Heights.
Persons employed by the Borough of Seaside Heights
in a position provided by this chapter shall possess good health and
freedom from disabling physical and mental defects which impair the
proper performance of the required duties, or which might endanger
the health and safety of oneself or others. Persons with mental or
physical disabilities are eligible as long as they can perform the
essential functions of the job position after reasonable accommodation
is made to their known limitations. If the accommodation cannot be
made because it would cause the employer undue hardship, such person
may not be eligible.
The Americans with Disabilities Act Advisory Board shall consist of five regular members and two alternate members, designated as "Alternate No. 1" and "Alternate No. 2," appointed by the Mayor with the advice and consent of the Borough Council. The ADA Coordinator shall be appointed as a regular member of the ADA Advisory Board and shall be the Chairperson of the Board as provided for in § 21-3D. The Deputy ADA Coordinator shall be appointed as "Alternate No. 1" to said Board as provided for in § 21-3D.
A.
All appointments to the Americans with Disabilities
Act Advisory Board shall be for a term of one year, commencing January
1st of the year of appointment and ending on December 31st of the
year of appointment. A vacancy on the Board occurring otherwise than
by expiration of term shall be filled for the unexpired term by the
Mayor, with the advice and consent of the Borough Council.
B.
An alternate member may participate in discussions
of the proceedings, but may not vote except in the absence or disqualification
of a regular member. A vote shall not be delayed in order that a regular
member may vote instead of an alternate member. In the event that
a choice must be made as to which alternate member is to vote, Alternate
No. 1 shall vote first.
