emergency which is defined by N.J.S.A. 40A:11-6 as a situation affecting
the public health, safety or welfare which requires the immediate
delivery of articles or the performance of services.
1.
A declaration of an emergency must be made by the Department Head
wherein the emergency occurred by filing a written requisition for
the performance of such work or labor, or the furnishing of materials,
supplies or services with the Purchasing Agent or his deputy in charge,
describing the nature of the emergency, the time of its occurrence
and the need for proceeding pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:11-6.
2.
Upon certification by the Purchasing Agent that an emergency exists,
the Purchasing Agent and/or the Department Head must notify the Mayor
and/or Councilmember in charge of the Department. If neither the Mayor
nor the Councilmember in charge of the Department is available, another
Councilmember on the Committee must be notified.
3.
Subsequent to notification of the Mayor and/or Councilmember, the
Chief Financial Officer must be notified by either the Department
Head or Purchasing Agent.
4.
Following notification, the Purchasing Agent is authorized to award
a contract for the work or labor, materials, supplies, or services,
subject to the following:
(a)
A requisition for any purchase costing under $6,000 requires the
signature of the Department Head, Purchasing Agent and Chief Financial
Officer.
(b)
A requisition for any purchase costing in excess of $6,000 requires
the signature of the Department Head, Mayor and/or Councilmember in
charge of the department, Purchasing Agent and Chief Financial Officer.
5.
If the estimated cost provided by the Department Head to the Purchasing
Agent is under the current bid threshold, the balance of the Borough
Council is to be notified of the emergency by either the Department
Head or the Purchasing Agent by telephone.
6.
If the estimated cost provided by the Department Head exceeds the
current bid threshold, then a special Council Meeting will be called
as soon as a quorum can be assembled to take such action as shall
be required to provide for the payment of the contract price.
[Ord. No. 944 § 1]

No change in this section shall take effect until filed with the Commissioner.
b.
The State Commissioner of Insurance shall, within 15 days of the
receipt of a copy of any ordinance adopted pursuant to this section,
notify each carrier of fire insurance within the State of the adoption
of the ordinance.
c.
The official Certificate of Search may, from time to time, be altered
by the bonded official responsible for preparing such certificates
in order to correct any errors or omissions or to add any municipal
liens or related charges due and payable subsequent to the preparation
of the official certificate.
[Ord. No. 944 § 2]
Unless a resolution is received in accordance with subsection 2-79.3 by an insurance company writing fire insurance policies in the Borough of Milltown, such insurance company is hereby authorized and required, prior to the payment of any claims for fire damages in excess of $2,500, to pay to the Borough of Milltown the amount of the liens appearing on the official certificate and such other recorded liens or related charges as may be certified to the insurance company; provided, however, that if an appeal is taken on the amount of any lien or charge, other than an appeal on the assessed valuation of real property pursuant to N.J.S.A. 54:3-21, the insurance company shall withhold 75% of the full amount of the lien or charge being contested pending termination of all proceedings, at which time such moneys and all interest accruing thereon at a rate paid on interest-bearing accounts in banking institutions or savings and loan associations in the State shall be discussed in accordance with the final order or judgment of the Court.
[Ord. No. 944 § 3]
The Borough Council may enter into an agreement with the owner
of any fire-damaged property to pay in full all delinquent taxes,
assessments or other municipal liens by installments pursuant to N.J.S.A.
54:5-19 or, for the redemption of the tax sale lien, by installment
payments pursuant to N.J.S.A. 54:5-7 if the Borough Council is satisfied
that the claim for fire damages is to be used to restore or improve
the fire-damaged property. An insurance company receiving a certified
copy of a resolution of agreement from the Borough Council is authorized
to make full payment on the claim to the insured person.
[Ord. No. 944 § 4]
a.
A municipal claim made in accordance with the provisions of this
section shall be paramount to any claims on the proceeds of the fire
insurance policy, except the claim of a holder of a mortgage on the
fire-damaged property, where the fire insurance policy at the time
of the loss listed the mortgagee as a named insured, in which even
the claim of the mortgagee to the proceeds shall be paramount to the
municipal lien under this section only to the extent of the amount
due and payable to the mortgagee under the mortgage contract.
b.
Nothing in this section shall be construed:
1.
To obligate an insurance company for any amount in excess of the
value of the fire insurance policy on the property or the amount of
the liability of the insurance company thereunder:
2.
Except as provided in the case of appeals under subsection 2-79.2 to obligate the insurance company for any liens not appearing on the official certificate of any certified changes submitted by a bonded official; or
3.
To affect the authority of the Borough to enforce a municipal lien
under any other law of this State.
[Ord. No. 944 § 5]
In addition to the standard provisions for fire insurance policies
set forth in N.J.S.A. 17:36-5.20, every fire insurance policy issued
on property situated in the Borough of Milltown shall be subject to
the provisions of this section.
[Ord. No. 1054 § 1]
This ordinance shall be known as "An Ordinance Banning the Use
of Government Buildings and Government Equipment for Political Fundraising."
[Ord. No. 1054 § 2]
Political contributions have a profound impact on government
decision making. Whereas our laws in New Jersey do not presently ban
solicitations or acceptance of contributions by public office holders
and employees while on public property or by use of public facilities.
A conflict may arise between the business of political fundraising
and the business of government in Borough Hall and other government-owned
premises, and this may cause a distraction from the People's business.
Whereas, the most appropriate method to prevent this conflict
and to insure the integrity of government decisions is the prohibition
of political fundraising on or by use of public property, it is accordingly
found and determined that the paramount public interest in a clean
and accountable government requires the prohibitions of political
fundraising on public property or by use of public facilities.
[Ord. No. 1054 § 3]
As used in this section:
Shall mean any individual seeking election to a public office
of the Federal government, State, County, municipality, school district
or political organization at an election.

and all pledges or other commitments or assumptions of liability to
make any such transfer. Contributions shall be deemed to have been

Shall mean any person holding elective municipal office or
holding an appointed position in the municipal government, or in any
agency, commission, board, or office thereof, whether the position
is full-time or part-time, compensated or uncompensated; and any employee
of municipal government or in any agency, commission, board or office
thereof, whether the position is full-time or part-time.
Shall mean the Borough of Milltown and any officer, department,
board, commission, or agency thereof.
Shall mean any two or more persons acting jointly, or any
corporation, partnership or any other incorporated or unincorporated
association which is organized to, or does, aid or promote the nomination,
election or defeat of any candidate or candidates for Federal, State,
County, municipal or school board office. "Political organization"
includes, but is not limited to, organizations otherwise defined as
"political committee," "joint candidates committee," and "legislative
leadership committee."

computers or other office equipment or supplies and other real or
personal property owned, leased or controlled by the municipality,

organization in or on the Property of the Municipality or utilizing
the Property of the Municipality.

if one exists, or in the alternative, to the Municipal Prosecutor
and the Municipal Clerk who shall report same to the Governing Body.
d.
Whistleblower Provision. It shall be unlawful for any employee, elected
official or appointee to be dismissed, reprimanded, retaliated against
