A. 
Every officer or employee of the Township who, by virtue of his office or position, is entrusted with the receipt, custody or expenditure of public funds or moneys, and any other officer or employee who may be required to do so by the Council, shall, before entering upon the duties of his office or position, execute and deliver a surety bond in such amount as may be fixed by resolution of Council, binding him to the Township in its corporate name and conditioned upon the sure and faithful performance of his duty. Each officer or employee required by law to give bond shall execute such a bond with sufficient surety, which bond shall be held by the Township, and deliver the same to the Clerk, except that the Clerk shall deliver his bond to the Treasurer before he enters upon the discharge of the duties of his office or employment.
B. 
If any officer or employee shall neglect to execute and deliver his bond as herein required within 30 days after due notification of his election or appointment, his office may be declared vacant by Council.
C. 
In every case in which any person is required by the laws of the state or by any ordinance of the Township to give a bond for the faithful performance of his duties, such bond shall be secured by a corporate surety authorized to do business in this state, and the premium therefor shall be paid by the Township. Each such bond shall be approved by the Township Attorney as to form and sufficiency, and nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the use of one or more blanket bonds when so approved.
Upon the termination of the term of office or the employment of any officer or employee, he shall forthwith deliver to his successor or, if there be no successor, to the Clerk or other person who may be designated by the Mayor or Business Administrator to receive the same, all moneys, papers, books, memoranda, accounts and any data of any nature whatever pertaining to his office. In addition to any other penalty provided by law, any person who shall violate the requirements of this section may be adjudged a disorderly person.
Pursuant to the Charter (N.J.S.A. 40:69A-37 and 69A-43), the Mayor may, in his discretion, remove any Director after notice and an opportunity to be heard. Prior to removing a Director, the Mayor shall first file written notice of his intention with the Council, and such removal shall become effective on the 20th day after filing such notice unless the Council shall prior thereto have adopted a resolution by a two-thirds vote of the whole number of the Council disapproving the removal.
Pursuant to the Charter (N.J.S.A. 40:69A-37), the Council may, in its discretion, investigate and remove any municipal officer for cause, other than the Mayor, upon a two-thirds vote of the whole number of the Council. Any municipal officer or employee shall, on request of the Council, prepare and submit sworn statements regarding his official duties and the performance thereof.
The public, administrative and executive offices of the Township shall be open for the transaction of public business daily except Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays and at such other times and between such hours as the Mayor may prescribe with the approval of Council. All departments in times of emergency shall provide Township services for 24 hours a day. The Business Administrator or a Director may require any officer or employee to be in attendance for work on any day or days whenever he determines that a public exigency or emergency so requires.
A. 
No Township employee shall directly or indirectly use or seek to use his authority or official influence to control or modify the political action of another person during his hours of duty, or during his hours of duty engage in any political activity or actively participate in political activities or campaigns with respect to any candidate for elective office in the Township government. In addition, any municipal official, employee or appointee is prohibited from soliciting or accepting political contributions in the discharge of official duties.
