[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Committee of the Township of Westampton
4-16-1990 by Ord. No. 8-1990. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 26:3-1, a Board of Health is hereby established
in the Township of Westampton and shall be known as the "Westampton Township
Board of Health."
The Township Committee, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 26:3-9b, hereby adopts
the provisions of Subdivision B of Article 1 of the Local Boards of Health
Act, N.J.S.A. 26:3-1 et seq. The aforesaid Board of Health shall consist of
five residents of the township appointed by the governing body to serve for
terms of two years from January 1 of the year of their appointment. The terms
of the members first appointed may be up to two years in duration and shall
be so determined that to the greatest extent practicable, the expiration of
such terms shall be distributed evenly over the first two years after their
appointments, provided that the initial term of no member shall exceed two
years. Thereafter, the term of each member shall be two years. A vacancy occurring
otherwise than by expiration of term shall be filled for the unexpired term
only.
The governing body may appoint up to two alternate members who must
be residents of the Township of Westampton. Alternate members shall be designated
by the Mayor at the time of their appointment as "Alternate No. 1" and as
"Alternate No. 2." The terms of any such alternate members shall not exceed
two years. Alternate members may participate in discussions of the proceedings
but may not vote, except in the absence or disqualification of a regular member.
A vote shall not be delayed in order that a regular member may vote instead
of an alternate member. In the event that a choice must be made as to which
alternate member is to vote, Alternate No. 1 shall vote.
The aforesaid Board of Health shall have, possess and exercise all of
the functions, powers, duties and jurisdiction of a Board of Health as prescribed
by N.J.S.A. 26:3-1 et seq. or other applicable law.
