The Faulkner Act provides that the powers of the Local Board
of Health heretofore exercised by the Eastampton Township Board of
Health are to be exercised by the Township Council of the Township
of Eastampton. Accordingly, there is hereby established a Department
of Health of the Township of Eastampton pursuant to the provisions
of N.J.S.A. 26:3-1 et seq., the head of which shall be the Director
of Health, who shall be the Municipal Manager serving without additional
compensation.
The Director of Health shall carry out all the administrative
functions of the department, which shall include but not be limited
to the administrative duties of a local Board of Health as set forth
more specifically in N.J.S.A. 26:3-1 et seq., and in regulations promulgated
by the State Commissioner of Health, except as otherwise delegated
to the Burlington County Department of Health as per a contract between
the County of Burlington and the Township of Eastampton. Nothing contained
hereinbefore or hereinafter stated shall in any way supersede or revoke
the power of the Municipal Council as the sole municipal authority
to pass, alter or amend ordinances in regard to the public health
of the municipality.
