[Amended 5-8-1986 by Ord. No. 8-86]
There shall be appointed a Borough Clerk, Borough
Treasurer, Borough Attorney, Borough Engineer, Tax Collector, Tax
Assessor, Borough Prosecutor and such other officers as the Council
may deem necessary. They shall perform the duties required by law
and the ordinances of the Borough. All of these officers, except the
Borough Attorney and the Borough Engineer, shall be residents of the
Borough, and all shall hold office at the pleasure of the Council.
No officer shall be removed without being afforded an opportunity
to be heard. Unless sooner removed, they shall hold office for terms
as provided by law and until their successors have qualified.
Except as otherwise provided by the laws of
this state, the Mayor shall nominate and, with the advice and consent
of the Council, appoint all officers directed to be appointed, including
the filling of vacancies in all appointive offices, which shall be
for the unexpired term only. The Mayor shall make such nomination
within 30 days after the office becomes vacant. If the Mayor fails
to nominate within 30 days or the Council fails to confirm any nomination
made by the Mayor, then after the expiration of 30 days the Council
shall appoint the officer directed to be appointed. No appointment
shall be made except by the vote of a majority of the members of the
Council present at the meeting, provided that at least three affirmative
votes shall be required for that purpose, the Mayor to have no vote
thereon except in case of a tie.
