[Adopted 5-18-1976 by Ord. No. 1052]
An Awards Committee is hereby established in
the Department of Community Affairs, which Committee shall be composed
of the Chairman of the Department and two other members of the governing
body to be designated by the Borough Council. All such appointments
shall be on a calendar year basis and until their successors have
been duly appointed and qualified.
The Awards Committee shall promulgate an awards
program and shall make recommendations therein for awards, within
available appropriations, in the form of cash, medals, certificates,
insignia, or other such appropriate devices or tokens of appreciation,
to be awarded to Borough residents, officers and employees for heroism,
efficiency, meritorious suggestions, professional accomplishments
and the performance of duties and municipal services which benefit
the public health, safety or welfare of the residents of the Borough.
Such recommendations, awards programs and the time, place and manner
of presenting same, shall be submitted to the governing body for its
consideration and approval.
Each year, the Committee shall request a budget
appropriation sufficient to cover the estimated annual cost of the
awards program and the governing body shall appropriate such sums
as it deems appropriate. Prior to the budget adoption in each year,
the Committee shall review the records of Borough officers and employees
and the accomplishments of Borough residents in either their vocations
or avocations, and recommend appropriate awards to be made during
the calendar year. The governing body may approve or disapprove each
recommendation and shall make the final determination with regard
to any awards to be made.
