Editor's Note: The preamble of this ordinance provided
as follows:
Whereas, the Tort Claims Act of the State of New Jersey provides
that local entities have the authority to indemnify public employees
and public officials; and
Whereas, without such indemnification, public employees and
public officials could not fully and adequately represent the interest
of the municipalities and carry forth their duties; and
Whereas, the Township of Dennis believes it in the best interest
of the Township of Dennis to provide for such indemnification.
Now therefore be it ordained, by the Township Committee of
the Township of Dennis, in the County of Cape May, as follows:
The Township of Dennis shall indemnify the Township employees
and public officials for any claim brought arising out of the official
duties of the public employee and public official to the extent as
provided under N.J.S.A. 59:10-4.
This chapter shall take effect immediately upon adoption and
publication in accordance with law.
