[Adopted 2-16-2021 by Ord. No. 02-21]
Whereas, and as part of the lengthy history of the Town of Boonton,
and in consideration that prior to 1917, the governing body was known
as the Common Council. Whereas, and in recognition that the best definitions
reflect terms with clear and well-understood plain meanings. Whereas,
the governing body seeks to ensure that its governance is as inclusive
and representative of the diverse nature of the Town's residents
as possible. Whereas, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen have determined
that updating such definitions, to include the name of the governing
body and its elected members, is in the best interest of the Town.
The governing body of the Town of Boonton shall henceforth be
referred to as "Town Council," and the individual elected officials
of the Town of Boonton governing body shall henceforth be referred
to as "Council Member."
