The local Board of Health shall be composed of seven members, one of
whom shall be a physician and one of whom shall be a member of the Township
Committee, and not more than two alternate members. Alternate members shall
be designated at the time of appointment as Alternate No. 1 and Alternate
No. 2. Alternate members 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.
[Amended 2-3-1998 by Ord. No. 1278]
Said members and alternate members shall be appointed by the Chairman
of the Township Committee and confirmed by the Township Committee.
A.
The term of each member, excepting the physician member
and the member of the Township Committee, shall be for two years commencing
on the first day of January, and the term of the alternate members shall be

shall be appointed for a term of one year so that the term of not more than
one alternate member shall expire in any one year.

If any vacancy shall occur on the local Board of Health, excepting in
the office of the physician member, it shall be filled in the same manner
in which the original appointment was made but for the unexpired portion of
the term only. In the event a vacancy shall occur in the office of the physician
member and the Township Committee shall fail to appoint a physician member
within 10 days after the death, removal or resignation of any physician or

a physician as a member of the local Board, who shall hold his office for
the term of three years from the time of his appointment by the State Department
of Health and until his successor shall be appointed.
The local Board of Health shall appoint, on the day of organization,
which shall occur within the first five days after the appointment of the

of the Board for the hearing of complaints, reports and general business,
and shall cause to be published in the Township newspaper notice of the same.
At least one regular meeting shall be held in each year. Special meetings
may be called at any time by the President of the Board or by the State Department.
At the organization meeting the members of the Board shall elect a President
and appoint a Secretary, who need not be a member thereof.
For attendance on meetings of the Board, members of the Board shall
each receive the sum of $2 for each meeting, to be paid in the same manner
as members of the Township Committee are paid.
Said local Board of Health may adopt rules, regulations or ordinances
for its government and that of its officers and employees, not inconsistent
with law or the State Sanitary Code.
