[Ord. #8-1984, § 1]
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:9-1.4, the Township hereby limits the
eligibility of applicants for positions and employments in the classified
service of the Township to residents of the Township. A resident for
the purpose of this section shall be defined as a person having a
permanent domicile within the Township and one which has not been
adopted with the intention of again taking up or claiming a previous
residence acquired outside of the boundaries of the Township.
[Ord. #8-1984, § 2]
All nonresidents subsequently appointed to positions or employments shall become bona fide residents of the Township within one year of their appointment, except as otherwise provided in subsections 5-4.3, 5-4.4 and 5-4.6. It shall be the duty of the hiring authority to insure that all such employees hired remain bona fide residents of the Township. Failure of any such employee to maintain residency in the Township shall be cause for removal or discharge from service. The procedure set forth in N.J.S.A. 40:9-1.5 shall govern.
[Ord. #8-1984, § 3]
a.
Whenever the appointing authority shall determine that there cannot
be recruited a sufficient number of qualified residents for available
specific positions or employments, the Township shall advertise for
other qualified applicants. In such case, the hiring authority shall
thereupon classify all qualified applicants for such positions or
employments in the following manner:
b.
The hiring authority shall first appoint all those in Class 1 and
then those in each succeeding Class in the order above listed and
shall appoint a person or persons in any such Class only to a position
or positions, or employment or employments, remaining after all qualified
applicants in the preceding Class or Classes have been appointed or
have declined an offer of appointment.
c.
The preference herein established shall in no way diminish, reduce
or affect the preferences granted pursuant to any provision of law.
d.
Any officers and employees hired pursuant hereto, who are not residents
of the Township, shall, as a condition of their continued employment,
become bona fide residents of the Township within such reasonable
period of time as is specified at the time of employment.
[Ord. #8-1984, § 4]
Whenever the hiring authority of the Township shall determine
that there are certain specific positions and employments requiring
special talents or skills which are necessary for the operations of
the Township and which are not likely to be found among the residents
of the Township, such positions or employments shall be filled without
reference to residency. The hiring authority shall determine, and
set forth in writing, the formal criteria for such positions and employments
at the time of determination of the need to fill such positions or
employments, giving due regard to experience, qualifications, formal
training, proximity to the Township, availability, specialization,
and similar matters directly related to the specific positions and
employments involved.
[Ord. #8-1984, § 5]
Preference in promotion to positions and employments in the
classified service of the Township shall be given to officers and
employees who are bona fide residents of the Township. When promotions
are based on merit, the Borough shall employ, inter alia, ratings
received by the officers and employees as set forth through the Township's
performance evaluation system, if any, as an objective criteria of
merit. In such cases of merit promotions, a resident of the Township
shall be given preference over a nonresident in any instance where
the other criteria are equal.
No preference herein granted shall in any way diminish, reduce
or affect the preference granted pursuant to any provision of law.
[Ord. #8-1984, § 6]
Notwithstanding anything contained in this section to the contrary,
this section shall not be applicable to officers, employees or positions
of the Township who, or which, are (a) in the unclassified civil service,
(b) are employed pursuant to professional service contracts authorized
by resolution or ordinance, or (c) are employed to perform extraordinary,

Board of Adjustment or Solicitor for the Planning Board.

Board, Board of Health and other similar boards and commissions.

also hold such official, officer or employee harmless from the payment,
settlement or judgment resulting from the proceedings, except in the

Where the official, officer or employee has been specifically found
by the trier of facts in proceedings, civil or criminal, to have acted
with actual fraud, actual malice or willful misconduct.

Where the official, officer or employee is found to have acted in
violation of the Township ordinances, rules or regulations.
d.
Where the legal proceeding involves a proceeding concerning the election
laws.
[Ord. #5-1988, § III]
The Township Committee may refuse to provide for the defense and indemnification referred to in Subsection 5-7.2 if it determines that:
a.
The act or omission was not within the scope of the person's employment
or official duties.
b.
The act, or the failure to act, was because of actual fraud, willful
misconduct or actual malice.
c.
The defense of the action or proceedings by the Township would create

or employee.
[Ord. #5-1988, § IV]
An official, officer or employee requesting defense of any action
or claiming indemnification under this section shall cooperate fully
and in good faith with the Township and with any attorneys, adjustors,
investigators, experts or technical personnel engaged for purposes

aforesaid, the Township Committee, after hearing on 10 days' written
notice to the official, officer or employee and for cause, may declare
all rights created under this section for the benefit of such official,
officer or employee to be forfeited and terminated. Any such vote
shall be by majority vote of the full membership of the Township Committee.

or employee pursuant to this section, the Township may assume exclusive
control of the representation of such official, officer or employee.
[Ord. #5-1988, § V; Ord. #21-1988, § 1]
Nothing in this section shall be deemed to authorize the Township
to pay for damages resulting from the commission of a crime or for
exemplary or punitive damages, provided that the Township may indemnify
an employee for exemplary or punitive damages resulting from the employee's
civil violation of State or Federal law if, in the opinion of the
governing body of the Township, the acts committed by the employee
upon which the damages are based did not constitute actual fraud,
actual malice, willful misconduct or an intentional wrong.
[Ord. #5-1988, § VI]
An official, officer or employee shall not be entitled to indemnification
or the cost of defense under this section unless within 10 days of

he delivers the same, or a certified copy, to the Township Clerk.
Upon receipt of same, the Township Clerk shall notify all members
of Township Committee, the Business Administrator and the Township
Solicitor of the receipt of same. The aforesaid time period for receipt
of notice of suite may be extended, for cause, by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the full membership of Township Committee.
[Ord. #5-1988, § VII]
In the event that this section conflicts with any existing negotiated
contracts between the Township and its employees, the terms of the
contract applying to the respective employee shall govern.
[Ord. #5-1988, § VIII]

to cooperate with the Township in the conduct of the defense. Whenever

employee shall be obliged to be represented by that attorney unless
there be a conflict of interest as certified by the attorney, the
presiding Judge of the Court in which the matter is pending or the
Advisory Committee of Professional Ethics of the New Jersey Supreme
Court. The refusal of the municipal official, officer or employee
to cooperate with the Township shall terminate the Township's obligation
to reimburse the municipal official, officer or employee.
[Ord. #5-1988, § XI]
If the legal proceeding is terminated by settlement among the
parties, then the Township shall not be obligated to reimburse the
municipal official, officer or employee unless the Township approves

or employee for a portion of reasonable expenses incurred in connection
with the proceedings, prior to a final decision provided, however,
that the Township gives prior approval to the undertaking of the expenses.
[Ord. #5-1988, § XIII]

official with respect to any and all such ordinances. In the enforcement

of the Employee Handbook and State law, including the rules and regulations
of the Department of Personnel or the decisions of the Merit System
