A.
The duly elected and constituted Mayor of the Borough
of Lavallette may perform marriages and civil unions as provided by
law. In the absence or unavailability of the Mayor to perform such

pursuant to N.J.S.A. 37:1-13 to perform such marriage or civil union.

of any marriage or civil union may be solicited for performing any

[Amended 3-12-2012 by Ord. No. 2012-02 (1101)]
C.
Establishment of policy. It is hereby determined by
the Borough Council of the Borough of Lavallette that the performance
of wedding or civil union ceremonies by the Mayor and/or Council President
is an important civic function. Additionally, the performance of this
function by the Mayor and/or Council President requires a significant
commitment of time and requires that the Mayor and/or Council President
incur certain expenses related to travel and other ancillary considerations.
Accordingly, it is the established policy of the Borough of Lavallette,
after due consideration of the above and after evaluation of fees
charged in similar municipalities, that the Mayor and/or Council President
be compensated at the rate of $100 for each ceremony performed. Such
compensation shall be in addition to the Mayor's and/or Council President's
salary as established by ordinance, but shall be paid to the Mayor
and/or Council President as part of his or her salary, under and subject
to all applicable tax laws and regulations.
[Amended 3-12-2012 by Ord. No. 2012-02 (1101)]
D.
Prior approval required. The Mayor and/or Council President of the Borough of Lavallette shall not be compensated for performing a wedding or civil union ceremony unless the voucher form for such, required by Subsection E below, has been submitted to the Chief Financial Officer, with the required fee of $100 attached and made payable to the Borough of Lavallette, before the wedding or civil union ceremony takes place. The Borough Council, in its sole discretion, shall have the authority to relax the time constraints of this provision in the appropriate case.
[Amended 3-12-2012 by Ord. No. 2012-02 (1101)]
E.
Procedure for approvals. Before being compensated
for officiating at a wedding or civil union ceremony, the Mayor and/or
Council President shall, prior to the ceremony, first submit a proper
voucher form, as determined by the Chief Financial Officer, setting
forth the time, place and date of the ceremony. Thereafter, the voucher
shall be submitted to Borough Council for processing in the ordinary
course.
