[Added 5-7-2008 by Ord. No. 08-026]
There is hereby established an Advisory Commission on Public
Safety for the Township to be composed of nine regular members and
two alternate members appointed by the Mayor with the advice and consent
of the Council. The Mayor and Chief of Police shall be ex officio
members of this Commission.
A.
The Mayor shall designate at the time of appointment the alternate
members as "Alternate No. 1" and "Alternate No. 2."
B.
Alternate members may participate in discussion 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 an alternate member
may vote instead of a regular member. In the event that a choice must
be made as to which alternate is to vote, Alternate No. 1 shall vote.
The members of the Advisory Commission on Public Safety shall
choose annually from among its members a Chairperson and such other
officers as they may deem necessary.
Each regular member shall serve for three years, except that
the first members shall be appointed as follows: 1/3 for three years,
1/3 for two years and the remainder for one year. Each alternate member
shall serve for three years, except that the terms of the alternate
members as first appointed under this article shall be three years
for Alternate No. 1 and two years for Alternate No. 2. Any appointment
to fill a vacancy shall be for the unexpired term of that member only.
The Advisory Commission on Public Safety shall act in an advisory
capacity to the Mayor and make recommendations for the development
of policies and procedures in general to improve the state of public
safety of the community.
The Advisory Commission on Public Safety shall meet monthly
at a time and place determined by the membership.
There shall be appropriated in each annual budget of the Township
such sum as may be determined by the Mayor and Council to be necessary
for the purpose of providing the sole source of funding to administer
this article.
The Advisory Commission on Public Safety shall make a semi-annual
report of its activities to the Mayor and Council and periodically
make such recommendations as may be necessary to carry out the purposes
set out in this article.[1]
