[Adopted 6-20-2012 by Ord. No. 2433-12]
Criminal history background checks for employees and volunteers
involved in recreation programs: The Borough Council of the Borough
of Roselle wishes to ensure that the Borough is providing the safest
possible recreation programs for its youth. N.J.S.A. 15A:3A-1 permits
nonprofit youth-serving organizations to request the State Police
to perform a criminal background check on current and prospective
employees or volunteers, in order to check the criminal histories
of those employees or volunteers who have direct contact with minors,
in order to eliminate those with convictions for certain crimes and
disqualify prospective employees and volunteers who have been convicted
of certain offenses. The Borough Council has determined that all employees
and volunteers of programs sponsored by the Borough of Roselle, or
cosponsored by the Borough in connection with the Department of Community
Services, who have regular, unsupervised access to minors involved
in such programs be required to submit to criminal background checks
at their own expense. The Borough would like all youth programs using
Borough facilities and all programs that are funded or supported by
the Borough, in whole or in part (including but not limited to baseball,
softball, soccer, football, lacrosse, etc.), be required to perform
criminal background checks as a condition of using Borough facilities.
