There shall be a Secretary to the Borough Clerk,
appointed by the Mayor with the advice and consent of the Council.
The Secretary to the Borough Clerk shall serve for the term of one
year at the pleasure of the Mayor and Council. The Secretary to the
Borough Clerk shall be supervised by the Borough Clerk. The Secretary
to the Borough Clerk shall be a resident of the borough.
Should the position of Secretary to the Borough
Clerk become vacant for any cause whatever, the Mayor shall fill such
vacancy, but for the unexpired time only, by his nomination, subject,
however, to the advice and consent of the Council. The Mayor shall
make such nomination within 30 days after the position becomes vacant.
If the Mayor fails to nominate within said 30 days after such vacancy
occurs, or if the Council fails to confirm any nomination made by
the Mayor, then after the expiration of said 30 days, the Council
shall appoint the Secretary to the Borough Clerk. No such appointment
shall be made except by a 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 such purpose, the Mayor to have no vote
thereon except in case of a tie.
