[1982 Code § 3-31; Ord. #598; Ord. #663; Ord. #92-784,
§ 1]
The following departments shall be established:
[1982 Code § 3-32; Ord. #598; Ord. #663]
a.
Each department shall be headed by a director, who shall be appointed
by the Mayor with the advice and consent of the Borough Council. Each
department head shall serve during the term of office of the Mayor
appointing him and until the appointment and qualification of his
successor.
b.
The Mayor may, in his discretion, remove any department head after
notice and an opportunity to be heard. Prior to removing a department
head, the Mayor shall first file written notice of his intention with
the Borough Council and such removal shall become effective on the
20th day after the filing of such notice, unless the Borough Council
prior thereto, has adopted a resolution by a 2/3 vote of the whole
number of the Borough Council disapproving the removal.
[1982 Code § 3-33; Ord. #598]
Whenever a vacancy exists in the office of a director of a department
and there is no holdover incumbent, then the Mayor may temporarily
fill such vacancy, except as provided to the contrary by State Statute.
Such temporary director may be the Mayor, the Administrator or another
individual. Such appointee shall have all of the functions, powers
and duties of the office until it is filled permanently. Any such
appointment of an individual, other than the Mayor or Administrator,
shall terminate not later than 90 days from appointment.
[1982 Code § 3-34; Ord. #598]
a.
The Administrator shall be empowered to allocate and assign all existing
and newly designated employees, administrative functions and powers
and duties of the Borough, whether stated or unstated, to the departments
created by this chapter, subject only to the provisions of this chapter,
the Charter and State Statutes.
b.
The internal organization of each department of the municipality
shall be as recommended by the director, subject to the approval of
the Administrator, provided that the personnel strength, position
classifications and pay plans are within available appropriations,
subject only to the provisions of this chapter, the Charter and State
Statutes.
c.
A director may serve as a division head without additional compensation.
Whenever a vacancy exists in the office of the head of any division
by resignation, removal, disability or otherwise, the director of
the department may fill such vacancy temporarily by appointing an
acting head of such division, who shall have and perform all the functions,
powers and duties of such division head until the office shall be
filled permanently.
[1982 Code § 3-35; Ord. #598]
Employees shall be paid on a biweekly basis in accordance with
a salary ordinance adopted by Borough Council. Every officer and employee
whose compensation is established on a full-time basis shall devote
their entire time during business hours to the duties of their office.
Those employees whose compensation is established on a part-time basis
shall devote equivalent time in proportion.

the Borough are on file in the office of the Borough Clerk.
