[Ord. #81-41, § 16.1, 7-13-81; Ord. #90-50, § 16.1, 8-13-90]
It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to allow the greatest flexibility in administrative positions in order to accomplish the aims of local government, the primary aim being services to the general public. In order to accomplish this flexibility, the following items are specifically noted:
a. 
All officers and employees of the Township may, during times of need, be asked to fill other positions on a temporary basis without additional compensation, except as required by collective bargaining agreements.
b. 
Any administrative function, powers or duties of the Township not specifically allocated to some other department is allocated to the Department of Administration.
c. 
The department heads shall appoint subordinate officers and employees within their respective departments and may, with the approval of the Mayor, remove such officers and employees, subject to any tenure rights of the officer or employee.
d. 
All appointing powers of department heads are subject to budget restrictions and limitations.
e. 
A Department head may be appointed on an acting basis so that the Mayor may determine from actual supervision whether such acting department head should be appointed on a permanent basis. An acting department head shall have all rights and powers of the permanent department head. A person may be appointed an acting department head without the advice and consent of Council provided, however, that any such appointment of an acting director shall terminate not later than ninety (90) days after the date of the appointment, unless the Council shall, by resolution, authorize one (1) or more extensions thereof.
f. 
A division head may be appointed as an acting department head and such services shall be without additional compensation.
g. 
All references in other ordinances to Mayor, Council or Manager are hereby amended to read:
1. 
Mayor; as appointing authority for Department heads and as to executive powers;
2. 
Department Head; as appointing authority for Division heads and subordinate officers and employees;
