1.
Grievance procedures for the Department of Fire. A procedure for the resolution of grievances shall be instituted through this section and shall be utilized to consider any ruling, order, or penalty imposed by any officer or group of officers within the department. The purpose of the grievance procedure shall be to secure, at the lowest administrative level possible, equitable solutions to problems that may arise, affecting the members of the Fire Department within the scope of their firefighting duties.
(a)
Level I: The aggrieved member shall initiate his or her complaint personally with the captain of his or her company. In the absence of the captain, he or she will seek the next company officer in the chain of command, as per the hierarchy of Point Pleasant Beach fire officers paragraph c. The aggrieved member may invite one of the chair officers from their company to accompany them to said meeting. If no satisfactory resolution is reached through this informal discussion of the complaint, the member may go to Level II for his or her appeal. Level I must be implemented within 20 days of the event that led to the grievance.
(b)
Level II: The aggrieved member shall initiate his or her complaint in writing with the Department Chief. This letter shall include a full description of the complaint by the aggrieved member and shall include the signature of at least one other member who concurs with the grievance. The Department Chief will then respond to the grievance in writing with his or her decision or solution to the grievance. If no satisfactory resolution is reached through Level II of the grievance procedure, the aggrieved member may appeal to Level III. Failure by a member to implement Level II of the grievance procedure within 14 days of the meeting with the company captain, or lower ranking officer in the captain's absence, will constitute acceptance of the Level I decision.
(c)
Level III: The aggrieved member shall initiate his complaint in writing with the board of fire officers at their next regularly scheduled meeting. This letter shall describe the grievance in full and shall be signed by at least three other members who concur with the grievance and include a solution to the mentioned grievance. The board of fire officers will then meet with the aggrieved member and any parties of interest in an effort to resolve the grievance. If no satisfactory resolution is reached through Level III, the aggrieved member may appeal to Level IV. Failure by a member to implement Level III of the grievance procedure within 14 days of receiving a response from the Department Chief' will constitute acceptance of the decision of the Department Chief.
(d)
Level IV: The aggrieved member shall initiate his complaint in writing with the presidents of both fire companies. This letter shall be signed by at least nine other members who concur with the grievance. The two presidents shall then set a department wide hearing date. Said date will occur after both companies have had time to hold their next regularly scheduled business meeting. A quorum for said department wide hearing will consist of 20 members, having voting rights as defined in their company bylaws. The two presidents will co-chair the hearing. The aggrieved member shall then present his or her case before the membership present at the department wide hearing. The board of fire officers will then be heard in response to the aggrieved member's complaint. The members present at the department wide hearing will then render a decision, with a two-thirds vote necessary to overturn the decision, which initiated the complaint by the aggrieved member. The letters to the president must be received within 14 days of the board of fire officers meeting where the member presented his or her case. Failure by a member to implement Level IV within 14 days of meeting with the board of fire officers will constitute acceptance of the decision by the board of fire officers.
(e)
Level V: Final Appeal Procedure: If either party, after hearing the decision rendered at the department wide meeting, is still not satisfied with the solution, they may appeal in writing to the Borough Council member who is chairperson of the fire committee. The chairperson of the fire committee shall have the option of setting the issue for a hearing before the Borough Council in an open or closed session pursuant to the requirements of the Open Public Meetings Act or upholding the decision of the members voting departmental by hearing.

The Borough shall have a lien on any property to which the defendant shall have or acquire an interest for an amount equal to the reasonable value of the services rendered to a defendant pursuant to this section as calculated at the same rate as the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender bills clients at that time.

The greatly increased use by the public of motor vehicles of all kinds has caused serious traffic congestion on the streets of the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach. The parking of motor vehicles on the streets of the Borough has contributed to this congestion to such an extent as to interfere seriously with the primary use of such streets for the movement of traffic, and such parking prevents the free circulation of such traffic in, through and from the Borough, impedes rapid and effective fighting of fires and the disposition of police forces, and endangers the health, safety and welfare of the general public. Such parking threatens irreparable loss in valuations of property in the Borough which can no longer be readily reached by vehicular traffic. This parking crisis which threatens the welfare of the community, can be reduced by providing sufficient off-street parking facilities, properly located in the residential, commercial and industrial areas of the Borough. Adequate provisions of properly located terminal space for automobiles is a public responsibility and the parking problem cannot be remedied by regulatory process, and cannot be effectively dealt with by private enterprise. The establishment of a parking authority will promote the public safety, convenience and welfare.
Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 11A of Title 40 of the Revised Statutes of New Jersey, there is hereby created a body corporate and politic which shall be known as "The Parking Authority of the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey," which authority shall constitute an agency and instrumentality of the Borough of Police Pleasant Beach.
As authorized by the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40:11A-3 and N.J.S.A. 40:11A-4, the Borough Council, having charge of the finances of the Borough, shall nominate and vote to appointed all vacancies in the office of parking authority commissioner for a term of five years unless the appointment is to fill a vacancy created before the commissioner's term expires, in which case the appointment shall be for the unexpired term.
The nomination of a commissioner to fill a vacancy on the authority shall take place within 30 days of said vacancy. The Borough Council shall make the appointment to that office within 30 days of being presented with such nomination by a majority vote of the members of the Council present at the meeting, providing that at least three affirmative votes shall be required for such purpose, the Mayor to have no vote thereon except in the case of a tie.
No commissioner of the authority may be an officer or employee of the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach; provided, however, that the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach may appoint its Chief of Police to the authority. A commissioner shall hold office until his successor has been appointed and has qualified. A certificate of the appointment or reappointment of any commissioner shall be filed with the Clerk and such certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the due and proper appointment of such commissioner. A commissioner shall receive no compensation for his services but he shall be entitled to the necessary expenses, including traveling expenses incurred in the discharge of his duties. The powers of each authority shall be vested in the commissioners thereof in office from time to time. A majority shall constitute a quorum of the authority for the purpose of conducting its business and exercising its powers and for all other purposes. Action may be taken by the authority upon a vote of the majority of the commissioners present, unless in any case the bylaws of the authority shall require a larger number. The authority shall select a chairman and vice-chairman from among its commissioners, and it may employ a secretary, technical experts and such other officers, agents and employees, permanent and temporary, as it may require, and shall determine their qualifications, duties and compensation. For such legal services as it may require, an authority may call upon any chief law officers of the municipality, or the county, as the case may be, or may employ its own counsel and legal staff. An authority may delegate to one or more of its agents or employees such powers and duties as it may deem proper. No commissioner or employee of an authority shall acquire any interest direct or indirect in any parking project or in any property included or planned to be included in the project nor shall be have any interest direct or indirect in any contract or proposed contract for materials or services to be furnished or used in connection with any parking project. If any commissioner or employee of an authority owns or controls an interest direct or indirect in any property included or planned to be included in a parking project he shall immediately disclose the same in writing to the authority and such disclosure shall be entered upon the minutes of the authority. Failure so to disclose such interest shall constitute misconduct in office. Upon such disclosure such commissioner or employee shall not participate in any action by the authority affecting such property. For inefficiency or neglect of duty or misconduct in office, a commissioner of an authority may be removed by the Borough Council, but a commissioner shall be removed only after he shall have been given a copy of the charges at least ten days prior to the hearing thereon and had an opportunity to be heard in person or by counsel. In the event of the removal of any commissioner, a record of the proceedings, together with the charges and findings thereon, shall be filed in the office of the Clerk.

The voucher shall contain a certification of the party claiming payment that it is correct. No bill, claim or demand shall be considered for payment unless the voucher has attached to it or includes a certification from the department head or other designated Borough employee, having personal knowledge of the facts, that the goods have been received by, or the services rendered to the Borough and that those services or goods are consistent with an existing contract or purchase order. The Chief Financial Officer shall have the duty to audit, warrant and make recommendations on all claims and bills.
After the bill or claim has been duly certified, the Borough Clerk shall include it in the proceedings of the next immediate formal meeting of the Borough Council. It shall be the duty of the Borough Clerk to examine all bills or claims submitted for payment in order to ascertain if proper administrative procedures have been followed. All claims or bills to be considered by the Borough Council shall be listed systematically and without preference and such list shall be made available to every member of the Borough Council at least three full days prior to formal action by that body.
All vouchers submitted by the Borough Clerk shall be reviewed by the finance committee of the Borough Council and the chairman of the committee whose department will be charged with the expenditure. If the voucher is found to be in proper form, three Council members with at least one from the finance committee and one from the appropriate standing committee shall affix their signatures to the voucher, thus signifying their approval of payment.
It shall be the duty of the Borough Clerk to record all claims in the official minutes or through an appropriate claims register, indicating that the Borough Council has by formal action approved such claims with appropriate records as to any claims disapproved or rejected. All records pertaining to approved or disapproved bills or claims shall be available for public inspection.
At the next ensuing public meeting of the Borough Council, the Borough Clerk shall present a resolution itemizing all vouchers which have been previously approved in the manner hereinabove set forth. No payment may be made pursuant to such voucher unless at that meeting or any subsequent public meeting, the voucher is approved by a majority of the members of the Borough Council then present.
The Chief Financial Officer shall make disbursements upon receipt of an order by Borough Council, attested by the Borough Clerk. If in the event that the Mayor vetoes the payment of any claims or bills, the Chief Financial Officer may be authorized to make payment by a vote of the Borough Council, provided at least two-thirds of all the Councilmen vote to override such veto of any claim or bill.
After the clerk has certified that the claims have been approved, the clerk shall transmit such claims to the Chief Financial Officer, who shall forthwith prepare the necessary checks for the payment thereof, which checks shall be signed by the Mayor and thereafter countersigned by the Chief Financial Officer or other custodian of funds. After preparing checks for the payment of claims, the Chief Financial Officer shall record them in proper books of account and thereafter mail the checks to the claimants.
Any person employed by the Borough or any person acting in his or her appointed capacity on any board established by the governing body of the Borough shall be entitled to legal representation in any proceeding whereby any official act of such employee or appointed official or representative has resulted in the institution of any litigation for punitive damages.
Any legal representation afforded to any individual in any action in which punitive damages are sought shall be at the discretion of the individual from whom the damages are sought and that individual shall be free to hire any licensed practitioner of the State of New Jersey to represent them provided the person so representing agrees as follows:

e.
That no legal fee will be paid by the municipality in the event any judgment is returned against the individual from whom punitive damages are being sought.
The governing body agrees to pay these legal fees only if a judgment is not returned against the individual from whom punitive damages are sought.
In the event judgment is returned against the individual from whom punitive damages are sought it will be the sole responsibility of that individual to pay for both legal representation, the judgment and any other costs.

Whereas, the County of Ocean consists of 33 municipalities, 32 of which have municipal police or fire departments operating for or within the Township of Barnegat, Borough of Barnegat Light, Borough of Bay Head, Borough of Beach Haven, Borough of Beachwood, Township of Berkeley, Township of Brick, Township of Dover, Borough of Harvey Cedars, Borough of Island Heights, Township of Jackson, Township of Lacey, Borough of Lakehurst, Township of Lakewood, Borough of Lavallette, Township of Little Egg Harbor, Township of Long Beach, Township of Manchester, Borough of Mantoloking, Borough of Ocean Gate, Township of Ocean, Borough of Pine Beach, Township of Plumsted, Borough of Point Pleasant, Borough of Point Pleasant Beach, Borough of Seaside Heights, Borough of Seaside Park, Borough of Ship Bottom, Borough of South Toms River, Township of Stafford, Borough of Surf City, Borough of Tuckerton and Township of Eagleswood, which regularly interact and provide assistance to each other in police related emergencies;

For purposes of this section, the term "emergency" shall be defined to include situations in which the number of available police officers, in a participating municipality is insufficient to meet the public need in a particular situation and situations where police aid involving special expertise or training is required in order to protect life and property or to assist in suppressing a riot or disorder. No formal declaration of emergency is required to implement the provisions of the mutual aid agreement.
The Chief or acting head of the Police Department or Mayor, or chief executive officer of a participating municipality, is hereby authorized to request assistance from the Chief or other head of the Police Department of any other participating municipality to provide aid in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40A:14-156, et seq.

Members of the police force of the providing municipality suffering injury, or their legal representatives, if death results while rendering assistance in the requesting municipality, shall be entitled to all such salary, pension rights, workmen's compensation or other benefits, as they would have accrued if such injury or death had occurred in the performance of duties in their own municipality, with such benefits to be the responsibility of the providing municipality.
A municipality receiving police assistance hereunder pursuant to the terms of the County Critical Incidental Management Plan shall not be required to directly reimburse the regional team for services so provided. The member municipalities shall however otherwise support the function of the respective regional response teams by providing the necessary manpower, equipment and supplies on an ongoing annual basis pursuant to the terms of the County Critical Incident Management Plan.

This section shall take effect upon final passage and publication according to law. It shall become effective with respect to this municipality's activities with another participating municipality, when such other participating municipality has adopted an ordinance reciprocal to this one, and such ordinance has become effective in that municipality.
