The Township Committee deems it necessary and appropriate for
the health and welfare of the residents of the Township of Wall to
promote public health within the community. To address those concerns,
the Township Committee wishes to create a Health Advisory Board in
accordance with the statutory requirements of N.J.S.A. 26:3-1 et seq.,
to provide continuing advice to it and the citizens of this community
on matters pertaining to public health in the Township. The Health
Advisory Board will provide policy and action recommendations, act
to support the Township Committee in its capacity as the Board of
Health and serve as public health advocates to the community.
There is hereby created and established, pursuant to N.J.S.A.
26:3-3, a board to be known as the "Health Advisory Board of the Township
of Wall."
The powers and duties of the Health Advisory Board are as follows:
A. Advise and consult with the Health Officer with respect to the public
health needs and programs of the Township.
B. Review and make recommendations to the Health Officer with respect
to public health hazards in and about the Township.
C. Study and report on proposed health-related ordinances to the Health
Officer, the Township Administrator and Township Committee.
The Health Advisory Board shall receive from all Township officials,
offices and departments such assistance as may be proper and reasonably
necessary to aid the Committee in the performance of its duties.
The Health Advisory Board shall submit a budget request to the
Township Committee which shall appropriate in each annual budget of
the Township such sum as may be determined by the Township Committee
to be necessary to accomplish the purposes set forth herein, and to
implement those recommendations of the Board which the Township Committee,
in its discretion, deems feasible and appropriate.
