There shall be a Municipal Utilities Authority in and for the
Township of Willingboro, to be known and designated as the "Willingboro
Municipal Utilities Authority."
The Willingboro Municipal Utilities Authority shall have all
of the rights and powers granted and be subject to all of the duties
and obligations imposed under the Municipal Utilities Authorities
Law of the State of New Jersey (N.J.S.A. 40:14B-1 to 40:14B-69).
The Willingboro Municipal Utilities Authority shall consist
of five regular members who shall be appointed by the Township Council
to terms of five years each. The terms shall be staggered so that
one regular term shall expire in each year. Any vacancy shall be filled
for the unexpired term.
There shall be two alternate members of the Willingboro Municipal
Utilities Authority. The alternate members shall serve for terms of
five years, provided that the initial terms of the alternate members
shall be four and five years, respectively. They shall be appointed
by the Township Council, which shall designate the alternate members
as "Alternate No. 1" and "Alternate No. 2." An alternate member may
participate in discussions of the proceedings but may not vote except
in the absence or disqualification of a regular member. A vote shall
not be delayed in order that a regular member may vote instead of
an alternate member. If a choice must be made as to which alternate
member is to vote, Alternate No. 1 shall vote first.
Each member of the Willingboro Municipal Utilities Authority
may receive from the Willingboro Municipal Utilities Authority compensation
for services, within the limitation that no member shall receive a
salary in excess of 65% of that authorized for a member of the Township
Council, except for the Chairperson of the Authority, whose compensation
shall not be in excess of 65% of the compensation authorized for the
Mayor. No alternate member shall receive a salary in excess of 75%
of that authorized for a member of the Willingboro Municipal Utilities
Authority.
