[Amended 12-12-00 by Ord. No. 551]
A. Regular members. There is hereby established in the Borough of Woodstown
a Planning Board of nine members consisting of the following four
classes pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-23:
(1) Class I:
|
The Mayor.
|
(2) Class II:
|
One of the officials of the municipality, other than a member
of the Borough Council, to be appointed by the Mayor.
|
(3) Class III:
|
A member of the Borough Council appointed by it.
|
(4) Class IV:
|
Six other citizens of the borough to be appointed by the Mayor.
The members of Class IV shall hold no other municipal office, except
that one Class IV member may be a member of the Board of Education.
|
B. Alternate Members. The Mayor may appoint four alternate members meeting
the qualifications of Class IV members. These shall be designated
as Alternate Number 1, Alternate Number 2, Alternate Number 3 and
Alternate Number 4. Their terms of office shall be for two years,
and their expiration dates shall be staggered so that two alternates
can be appointed each year. Should a vacancy occur in an alternate
position, then the Mayor may fill that position for the unexpired
term only. Alternates may only serve as provided in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-23.1.
[Amended 12-12-00 by Ord. No. 551]
The term of the Class I member shall correspond with his or
her official tenure. The terms of the Class II and Class III members
shall be for one year or terminate at the completion of their respective
terms of office, whichever occurs first. The term of a Class IV member,
who is also a member of the Board of Education shall terminate whenever
he or she is no longer a member of the Board of Education or at the
completion of his or her Class IV term, whichever occurs first. The
terms of all Class IV members first appointed pursuant to this Article
shall be so determined that to the greatest practicable extent, the
expiration of such terms shall be distributed evenly over the first
four years after their appointments, as determined by resolution of
the Woodstown Borough Council; provided, however, that no initial
term of any Class IV member shall exceed four years, and further provided
that nothing herein shall affect the term of any present member of
the Planning Board, all of whom shall continue in office until the
completion of the terms for which they were appointed. Thereafter,
all Class IV members shall be appointed for terms of four years, except
as otherwise herein provided. All terms shall run from January 1 of
the year in which the appointment was made.
The Planning Board shall elect a Chairman and Vice Chairman
from the members of Class IV and select a Secretary who may be either
a member of the Planning Board or a municipal employee designated
by it.
