Prior ordinance history: Ordinance No. 2012-05.
[Ord. #2013-02]
For the purposes of this section, unless the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
MUNICIPAL OFFICIAL
Shall mean a present or former municipal employee, appointee, official, professional appointee, elected official or member of the various boards, agencies and commissions of the Township of Frelinghuysen whether full or part time, appointed, elected or hired. The terms of this section and the definition of official, employee and appointee are to be construed liberally in order to effectuate the purposes of this section except that the terms shall not mean a) any person who is not a natural person; b) any person while providing goods or services of any kind under any contract with the Township except for services provided pursuant to an employment contract or a professional services contract; or c) any person while providing legal, engineering, accounting or other professional services for compensation if the action involves professional negligence and is otherwise covered by the person's professional liability insurance policy or unless said person is a full-time employee of Frelinghuysen Township. The use of the terms "official," "employee" or "appointee" shall include all such persons even if not specifically stated in this section.
[Ord. #2013-02]
Pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 59:10-1 et seq. and subject to the provisions of this section, the Township of Frelinghuysen is authorized to and shall provide for the defense of actions brought against its municipal officials, employees and appointees, shall indemnify such officials, employees, and appointees to the extent permissible by law and shall save harmless and protect such persons from financial loss resulting from litigation. Such indemnification shall arise out of any action or legal proceeding of a noncriminal nature directly related, or incidental to, the performance of the duties of the position or office held by such municipal official, employee or appointee. Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 59:10-4, the indemnification and defense provided for in this section shall include exemplary or punitive damages resulting from the official's, employee's, or appointee's civil violation of State or Federal law provided such violation does not constitute actual fraud, actual malice, willful misconduct or an intentional wrong as may be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction.
[Ord. #2013-02]
The Township shall not defray the cost of defending any criminal action against any municipal official except as may be authorized by State statute or other municipal ordinance or resolution of the Township of Frelinghuysen, and in those circumstances, the responsibility for defraying the cost of defending such employee shall be applicable only when such criminal proceeding shall have been dismissed or result in a final disposition in favor of the municipal official. However, should the Mayor and Township Committee determine that there is good cause to dismiss the employee arising out of the incident(s) giving rise to the criminal prosecution, the Township will not reimburse the municipal employee for legal defense and costs in defending this suit, even though criminal proceedings against the employee may be dismissed or the employee found not guilty.
[Ord. #2013-02]
The municipal official shall not be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement pursuant to this section unless within ten (10) calendar days of the time such municipal official is served with any summons, complaint, process, notice, demand or pleading, the official delivers the original or a copy thereof to either the Township Attorney or to the Municipal Clerk. The municipal official shall be obliged to cooperate with the Township in the conduct of the municipal official's defense. Whenever competent and disinterested legal counsel is available to the Township through any insurance coverage, the municipal official shall be obliged to be represented by such counsel. If the Township wishes to use the Township Attorney or the attorney for any board or committee of the Township to defend that action, the municipal official shall be obligated to be represented by that attorney unless there is a conflict of interest. The refusal of the municipal official to reasonably cooperate with the Township shall terminate the Township's obligation to reimburse the municipal official.
[Ord. #2013-02]
If the Township Committee determines to provide a defense as authorized by this section, it may do so by:
a. 
Hiring an attorney of its choice; or
b. 
Reimbursing the municipal official for reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in connection with the defense of the act.
A resolution shall be adopted appointing counsel for the defense and determining counsel fees. The hourly rate shall not exceed the then rate paid to the Township Attorney without a written resolution of the Committee. Nothing in this section shall preclude the Township and/or Township Attorney from demanding and reviewing periodically any costs and attorney's fees in connection with the defense of the municipal official. In the event a dispute over attorney's fees arises, the Township reserves the right to submit the dispute to the Fee Arbitration Committee of the District or pursue any other course of permissible legal action.
[Ord. #2013-02]
The Township shall not be obligated to provide reimbursement in the following instances:
a. 
Where the act or omission was not within the scope of the municipal official's employment or authority;
b. 
Where the act or omission complained of was because of actual fraud, willful misconduct, actual malice or the commission of a crime;
c. 
Where the legal proceeding is instigated or brought by the Township of Frelinghuysen against the municipal official;
d. 
Where the legal proceeding involves a question concerning the election laws;
e. 
Where the action is brought against the Township by the municipal official. If any such legal proceeding shall be dismissed or finally determined in favor of the municipal official or employee, the official or employee shall be reimbursed for the expense of the defense providing (a) the employee proves that the act or omission was within the scope of employment or authority and (b) the Township fails to prove the act or omission complained of was because of actual fraud, willful misconduct or actual malice.
f. 
Where the defense of the action or proceeding would constitute a conflict of interest between the Township and the municipal official.
g. 
Where the defense of the action or proceeding is covered by an insurance policy or policies, however, the Township shall be responsible for the cost of the deductible.
h. 
Where the person is providing legal, accounting or engineering services for compensation and the legal defense is covered by the person's professional liability insurance. However, the Township shall be responsible for the cost of any deductible of the employee's professional liability insurance policy.
i. 
The municipal official has failed to fully cooperate with the defense.
j. 
Where the act or omission is in violation of the New Jersey Local Government Ethics Law, N.J.S.A. 40A:9-22.1 et seq., or any ethics code adopted pursuant to the statute.
[Ord. #2013-02]
The Township shall have exclusive control over the representation of the municipal official and such person shall cooperate fully with the Township and the designated attorney, provided, however, that the municipal official may at any time at the municipal official's option take control of the representation by waiving all rights to indemnification and all rights to payment for the defense costs.
[Ord. #2013-02]
The amount the Township is obliged to reimburse the municipal official shall be reduced by any insurance coverage payable to the municipal official by the net amount, (that is, any recovery less attorneys fees, disbursements and Court costs), of any money received by the municipal official in any counteraction against the person or persons bringing the action against him or her.
[Ord. #2013-02]
If the legal proceeding is terminated by an agreement among or between the parties, then the Township shall not be obligated to reimburse the municipal official unless the Township approves the settlement agreement.
[Ord. #2013-02]
If the municipal official files a counterclaim or cross claim in the legal proceedings, the Township shall not be obligated to reimburse for any attorney fees or court costs attributable to such action.
[Ord. #2013-02]
The obligation of the Township to reimburse a municipal official for expenses shall arise upon the official incurring the expense for the official's defense of the legal proceedings and shall be payable from time to time upon presentation of vouchers by the official for the services rendered and cost incurred.
[Ord. #2013-02]
Any subsection of this section is declared for any reason to be unconstitutional or invalid by a court of confident jurisdiction, such provision(s) shall be deemed severed from the remainder of the section and shall not affect the enforceability of the remainder of the section.
[Ord. #2013-02]
Any and all ordinances or parts thereof inconsistent with the provisions of this section are hereby repealed to such extent as they are so in conflict or inconsistent, provided, however, that the adoption of the section shall not prevent or bar the continuance or institution of any proceedings for offenses heretofore committed in violation of any existing ordinance of the Township of Frelinghuysen.
[Ord. #2013-02]
This section shall take effect upon final passage and publication according to law. Any legal proceeding which may be covered by this section which has not been reduced to a final judgment as of the date of passage shall be covered by the terms of this section.[1]
