[Ord. No. 03-18, Preamble]
The State of New Jersey has recognized the need to increase
the incentives for persons to volunteer their time and efforts in
volunteer firefighting, which activities have a long history and tradition
of providing essential services to many municipalities in this State,
by recently enacting the "Emergency Services Volunteer Length of Service
Award Program Act;" and the Borough of Matawan has one of the finest
Volunteer Fire Departments in the United States.
The Mayor and Council recognizes the personal commitment and
time involved in the training and response to calls required by these
volunteers, and deems it appropriate and necessary to act to ensure
retention of existing members and to provide incentives for recruiting
new volunteer Firefighters for the Borough of Matawan Volunteer Fire
Department. The Borough of Matawan has determined that the creation
of a Length of Service Awards Program will enhance the ability of
the Borough and the Volunteer Fire Department to both retain existing
members and recruit new Volunteer Firefighters.

by the Borough annually to a tax deferred income account for each
volunteer member whom the Borough determines meets the annual eligibility
