The Township shall be governed by a Township
Committee consisting of five members, who shall be elected at large
for three-year overlapping terms by the voters at the general election
as provided by general law and Title 19 of the Revised Statutes.
The Committee may provide by ordinance for an
annual salary for Committee members, but may change such salary only
during the time provided by law for adopting the annual budget. In
addition to such salary, Committee members may be paid their actual
and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of the duties of
their office.
The members of the Committee shall be the only
elective Township officers. They shall be nominated and elected as
required by the Charter at a general election, or if there is no general
election in a year when an election is required to fill a vacancy,
at an election to be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday
in November of such year, in accordance with the provisions of Title
19 of the Revised Statutes.
