[Adopted 3-8-1983 by Ord. No. 83-1 (Ch.
10 of the 1991 Code)]
An emergency is immediate danger to the safety
and welfare of the employees and/or residents of the Borough of Newfield.
Nothing else constitutes an emergency. In emergency situations, approval
of the department head should be obtained even if by telephone and
the Treasurer should be notified if the department head so advises.
If contact with either the department head or Treasurer cannot be
made at the time of the emergency, they should be advised as soon
as possible after the fact.
An alphabetical list of the bills to be paid
will be available at the scheduled work session and regular Council
meeting each month. The purchase orders will also be alphabetically
arranged for inspection. The department head's signature must be on
the requisition; however, it is not necessary for the department head
to sign the purchase order. When a Councilman votes aye to approve
the list of disbursements, he automatically approves all the bills
unless he wishes to contest any or all bills by voting nay. In either
case, his vote will be recorded in the minutes, and a dissenting vote
will be recorded on each original purchase in question.
[Adopted 7-9-1996 by Ord. No. 96-6 (Ch.
8 of the 1991 Code)]
The following procedure shall be followed in
the event that tie bids are received: Tie bidders will be notified
of the receipt of the same and be invited to appear before the Borough
Council of the Borough of Newfield for the purpose of breaking the
tie by the drawing of a name of one of the tie bidders from a suitable
container, which will then be the successful bidder. The Borough Solicitor
shall be present to supervise the drawing.
