"code."
[Amended 5-21-79 by Ord. No. 43-79]
A. Enumerated. The elective officers of the Township
shall be the five members of the Township Committee.
[Amended 4-17-2000 by Ord. No. 9-00]
B. Residence; terms. All officers shall be residents
of the Township, except where otherwise provided by law.
C. Vacancies. Any person appointed by the Township Committee
to fill a vacancy in any elective office, other than a position on
the Township Committee, shall hold office until January 1 after the
general election next succeeding his or her appointment, and at that
election some fit person shall be elected to fill the unexpired term.
If a vacancy occurs at so short a period of time before the next general
election that the office cannot be filled at that election, the Township
Committee may fill the vacancy in the same manner as though it had
occurred immediately after the election, and the vacancy shall then
be filled at the next subsequent general election for the unexpired
term. Vacancies on the Township Committee shall be filled in accordance
with the Municipal Governing Body Vacancy Law.
