[Ord. 991, 2/7/2005]
Members shall receive no compensation for their services but
may be reimbursed for the expenses actually and necessarily incurred
by them in the performance of their duties when, as and to the extent
that the Environmental Advisory Council may have funds available for
such purposes. The participating municipalities may, from time to
time, elect in their sole discretion to make appropriations to or
on behalf of the Environmental Advisory Council. The Environmental
Advisory Council may accept funding from public or private sources
to further its activities. The adoption of this Part 3F does not in
any way commit the adopting municipality to make any appropriation
or payment to or for the benefit of the Environmental Advisory Council.
[Ord. 991, 2/7/2005]
A chair of the Environmental Advisory Council shall be elected
annually during the month of January by the members of the Council.
[Ord. 991, 2/7/2005]
Meetings of the Council shall be held at the call of the chair
and at such other times as the Council shall determine. All meetings
of the Council shall be open to the public, except for meetings which
may be held in executive session under applicable law for the purpose
of preparing and delivering advice to the governing bodies of the
participating municipalities concerning the acquisition or disposition
of real estate. The Council shall keep records of its meetings and
activities and shall make a written annual report to the governing
bodies of the municipalities. To the extent that either of the municipalities
publish or file annual reports of their activities, the annual report
of the Environmental Advisory Council shall be included in that municipality's
annual report. If either of the participating municipalities do not
publish or file an annual report, such municipality(ies) shall make
appropriate arrangements to have the annual report of the Environmental
Advisory Council made known and available to its citizens.
[Ord. 991, 2/7/2005]
To the extent that the Environmental Advisory Council receives
public or private finding, all such funds shall be held, administered,
and paid on behalf of the Environmental Advisory Council by the finance
officials of the Borough of Emmaus or Upper Milford Township under
and in accord with the generally accepted accounting practices applicable
to municipalities.
[Ord. 991, 2/7/2005]
If either the Borough of Emmaus or Upper Milford Township determines
that future participation in the Environmental Advisory Council is
no longer beneficial, they may jointly or separately repeal this Part
3F with written notice to the other municipality.
