The office of Township Manager is hereby created.
The Board of Supervisors may remove the Township Manager at any time
by a majority vote of its members. Notice of removal of the Township Manager
shall be given 30 days before the effective date of removal. Upon removal,
the Board of Supervisors shall pay his salary under the provisions stated
in the contract with the Manager; provided, however, that if the Manager is
removed for conviction of an illegal act, or further provided that if the
Manager voluntarily resigns, the Township shall have no duty to pay any salary
after the removal date or the voluntary resignation, as the case may be.
If the Manager becomes ill or needs to be absent from the Township,
he 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 Board.
The Township Manager shall furnish a surety bond to be approved by the
Board of Supervisors and to be conditioned on the faithful performance of
his duties. The premium of the bond shall be paid by the Township.
The Township Manager shall receive such compensation as the Board of
Supervisors shall fix from time to time by motion or resolution.
Any vacancy in the office of the Township Manager shall be filled within
60 days after the effective date of such vacancy.
