Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:9-1.4, the Borough of Wildwood Crest
hereby limits the eligibility of applicants for positions and employments
in the classified service of the Borough of Wildwood Crest to residents
of the Borough of Wildwood Crest. A "resident," for the purpose of
the ordinance, shall be defined as a person having a permanent domicile
within the Borough of Wildwood Crest 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 Borough of Wildwood Crest.
All nonresidents subsequently appointed to positions or employments shall become bona fide residents of the Borough of Wildwood Crest within one year of their appointment, except as otherwise provided in §§
46-11,
46-12 and
46-14 of this ordinance. It shall be the duty of the hiring authority to ensure that all such employees hired remain bona fide residents of the Borough of Wildwood Crest. Failure of any such employee to maintain residency in the Borough of Wildwood Crest shall be cause for removal or discharge from service. The procedures set forth in N.J.S.A. 40A:9-1.5 shall govern.
Whenever the hiring authority of the Borough of Wildwood Crest
shall determine that there are certain specific positions and employments
requiring special talents or skills which are necessary for the operations
of the Borough and which are not likely to be found among the residents
of the Borough, such positions or employments shall be filled without
preference 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 Borough of Wildwood Crest, availability,
specialization and similar matters directly related to the specific
positions and employments involved.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this ordinance to the
contrary, this ordinance shall not be applicable to officers, employees
or positions of the Borough of Wildwood Crest who, or which:
A. Are in unclassified Civil Service;
B. Are in the Borough's paid Fire Department and Police Department;
C. Are employed pursuant to professional service contracts authorized
by resolution or ordinance; or
D. Are employed to perform extraordinary, unspecifiable services as
defined by the Local Public Contracts Law pursuant to contracts authorized
by resolution.
A certified copy of this ordinance shall be forwarded to the
New Jersey Civil Service Commission by the Borough Clerk.
If any section, paragraph, subdivision, clause or provision
of this ordinance shall be adjudged to be invalid, such adjudication
shall apply only to the section, paragraph, subdivision, clause or
provisions so adjudged, and the remainder of the ordinance shall be
deemed valid and effective.
All ordinances, or parts thereof, inconsistent with the terms
of this ordinance, are hereby repealed insofar as such inconsistency
exists.
This ordinance shall become effective 20 days after its final
passage. Publication shall be made as provided by law.
