Green Township is governed under the Township form of
government outlined in Chapter 63 of Title 40A of the New Jersey Statutes
Annotated. The Administrative Chapter has been drafted in conformity
with the Township law and in many instances, provisions have been
restated in the Code. Other enabling laws pertaining to the Administrative
Chapter are N.J.S. 40A:14-18, Police Department; N.J.S. 40A:14-7,
Fire Departments; N.J.S. 2A:8-1 et seq., Municipal Court; N.J.S. 40:55D-69,
Zoning Board of Adjustment; N.J.S. 40:55D-23, Planning Board; N.J.S.
26:3-1 et seq., Board of Health; N.J.S. 40:48-2 and 40:55D-27, Environmental
Advisory Committee; and N.J.S. 40:8-107 et seq., Local Assistance
Board. Other authority to regulate the internal affairs of the Township
is contained in N.J.S. 40:48-2.
For statutes requiring the taking of oaths of office and
requiring bond of certain officers and employees, see Local Fiscal
Affairs Law, N.J.S. 40A:5-33 et seq.
For salary grades and ranges, wages, compensation and
fees of all officers and employees of the Township, see the current
salary ordinances of the Township. Such ordinances are not included
in these Revised Ordinances, but are saved from repeal in the Adopting
Ordinance.
The Administrative Chapter has been revised from previous
ordinances to conform to current uses and State Statutes. If there
is no source history following a section or subsection, it is adopted
as a part of the Adoption Ordinance which adopts the entire codification.
