[Adopted 10-23-1995 by Ord.
No. 95-10]
The purpose of this article is to establish a residency preference for
the appointment or hiring of all municipal employees hired subsequent to the
date of this enactment, other than those exempted by statute.
Before any person shall be appointed as an employee of the Borough of
Clementon, the appointing authority shall classify, in accordance with the
certification of eligibles list hereafter described, all the duly qualified
applicants for the position or positions to be filled in the following classes:
A.
Class I: persons who have resided within the Borough
of Clementon from the announced closing date of the Department of Personnel
examination up to and including the date of appointment.
B.
Class II: other persons who have resided in the County
of Camden from the announced closing date of the Department of Personnel examination
up to and including the date of appointment.
C.
Class III: other persons who have resided in counties
contiguous to Camden County from the announced closing date of the Department
of Personnel examination up to and including the date of appointment.
D.
Class IV: other persons who are residents of the State
of New Jersey from the announced closing date of the Department of Personnel
examination up to and including the date of appointment.
E.
Class V: all other persons who are qualified applicants.
In making such appointments, the governing body shall first appoint
all of those in Class I and then those in each succeeding class in the order
above listed and shall appoint a person or persons in any such class only
to a vacancy or vacancies remaining after all qualified applicants in the
preceding class or classes have been appointed or have declined an offer of
appointment.
The classes of qualified applicants defined herein shall be considered
as separate and successive lists of eligibles, and the New Jersey Department
of Personnel shall, when requested to certify eligibles for position, make
such certifications from said classes separately and successively and shall
certify no persons from any such class until all persons in the preceding
class or classes have been appointed or have declined offers of appointment.
In making temporary appointments, the Borough Clerk shall utilize the
classifications set forth herein and shall classify accordingly all duly qualified
applicants for the position or positions to be temporarily filled.
