There is hereby created the Traffic Advisory
Committee of the Borough of Eatontown, hereinafter referred to as
the "Committee."
The purpose of the Committee is to promote safety with the planning
of orderly traffic patterns and volume within the Borough and its
bordering towns.
The members of the Committee shall elect annually, from among
their number, a Chairperson and Vice Chairperson. The elected officers
shall serve for terms of one year and shall be eligible for reelection
in successive years.
The Committee shall be responsible to the Governing Body for
conducting studies and investigations as requested by the Governing
Body and shall recommend proposals to the Governing Body for lessening
congestion and eliminating and reducing traffic hazards within the
Borough. In addition, the Committee shall be authorized to initiate
in its own traffic studies and investigations for the purposes specified
herein. The Secretary to the Committee shall obtain and provide site
plans from the Planning and Zoning Board Secretary. The Committee
may review the plans and offer written comments as they relate to
their mission. The comments shall be submitted by the Committee Secretary
to the Secretary of the Planning and Zoning Board.
The Committee shall meet at least bimonthly (every other month)
and shall provide the Governing Body with the minutes of its meetings.
The Committee shall function without subsidy or revenue-producing
activities and shall rely solely upon the Governing Body for the financing
of its functions.
The Committee may choose to appoint from its membership a secretary who serves without compensation. Should the Committee determine that its purpose is better advanced with the services of a paid secretary, then such a position, and compensation, may be provided to the Committee at the discretion of the Borough Administrator so long as the position is funded by the Borough budget. In no case shall a Committee member also be a paid secretary or receive any compensation for their services. If the Borough Administrator determines to appoint a secretary to the Traffic Advisory Committee, that individual shall not be counted amongst the Committee's membership as described in §
7-58.
