[Added 12-2-2014 by Ord. No. 1663]
The primary function of the Division of Code Enforcement within
the Police Department shall be enforcement of all ordinances of the
City of North Wildwood. In executing that function the Division of
Code Enforcement may call upon the sworn Police Department or other
law enforcement officers for such assistance as is necessary.
All civilian code enforcement officers shall be appointed by
the Mayor with the advice and consent of City Council. The Division
of Code Enforcement shall be staffed with such further civilian code
enforcement officers and civilian clerical staff as, from time to
time, are appointed by the Mayor with the advice and consent of City
Council. Each Code Enforcement Officer appointed hereunder shall be
considered a "code enforcement officer" as that term is used in Rule
7:2-2(a)(3) of the New Jersey Court Rules.
All code enforcement officers and clerical staff of the Division
of Code Enforcement shall report to the Chief of Police.
[Amended 10-6-2015 by Ord. No. 1686]
Except as otherwise specifically may be set forth in the ordinances
of the City of North Wildwood or by the laws of the State of New Jersey,
all ordinances governing the North Wildwood Police Department also
shall govern the Division of Code Enforcement. The Chief of Police,
in his sole and absolute discretion, may exempt the Division of Code
Enforcement from coverage of any or all portions of the North Wildwood
Police Department rules and regulations (also known as the “Police
Manual”). The Code Enforcement Official and the subordinate
code enforcement officers and clerical staff of the Division of Code
Enforcement shall not be deemed to be sworn members of the Police
Department within the meaning of any provision of Title 40A, Chapter
14, of the Revised Statutes of New Jersey.
