[Ord. #74-22, preamble]
The provision of adequate services to the people of our municipalities
is in great measure dependent on the skills and training of municipal
officers and employees; and constant changes and technological innovations
in all service areas demand continuing in-service training and retraining
programs and the upgrading of technical and executive skills. Such
training as has been available is fragmented among a variety of agencies
and educational institutions, with little or no central coordination
or policy focus. The training opportunities available to employees
of our municipal governments are inadequate to meet the demand and
need; and there is a clear and immediate need for consolidation of
resources and central coordination, supervision and planning of training
programs for municipal officers and employees of the contracting communities.
The Township of Cherry Hill has offered to establish, with the assistance
of the State of New Jersey, a program for the development and training
of municipal officers and employees. The Senate and General Assembly
of the State have enacted an Act entitled the "Interlocal Services
Act" (N.J.S.A. 40:8A-1) whereby municipalities may contract among
themselves to provide public services.
[Ord. #74-22, § 1]
The Township of Cherry Hill authorizes the appropriate Township
officers to execute an agreement with other municipalities to establish
and participate in a program for the development and training of municipal
officers and employees. A copy of the agreement is on file with the
Township Clerk.
[Ord. #74-22, § 2]
The appropriate officers of the Township are authorized to take
all additional steps and actions and to expend funds as may be necessary
and proper to carry to completion the purpose set forth in the foregoing
subsection, and to fulfill the obligations of the Township under the
above described agreement.
[Ord. #87-1, preamble, 1-29-87]
By virtue of N.J.S.A. 43:16A-47.1, enacted as Chapter 141, Laws
of 1985, Cherry Hill may adopt an ordinance allowing full-time fire
fighters to be enrolled in the Police and Firemen's Retirement
System, which would entitle the full-time firefighters to receive
better benefits than their present pension system; and the Statute
sets forth that employer expenses are "...applicable to, and shall
be included in the budget of the Fire District in which that fireman
is employed" rather than in the municipality.
[Ord. #87-1, § 1, 1-29-87]
The provisions of Chapter 141, Laws of 1985 are adopted.
[Ord. #87-1, § 2, 1-29-87]
The Clerk shall immediately notify the Board of Trustees of
the Police and Firemen's Retirement System of New Jersey.
[Ord. #2014-6, 7-14-14]

direct deposit of their compensation as of September 1, 2014 in accordance

[Ord. #2014-6, 7-14-14]
Seasonal and temporary employees who are employed by the Township
of Cherry Hill are exempt from the direct deposit mandate.
[Ord. #2014-6, 7-14-14]
Municipal employees may request, in writing, an exemption from
the direct deposit mandate to the Township of Cherry Hill Chief Financial
Officer. Such requests will be presented to the Mayor or designee
within five (5) business days from the effective eligible date. The
Mayor or designee may grant such an exemption in writing and only
for good cause.
