[Amended 2-26-1985]
A.
The Committee shall consist of seven regular members
and two alternate members to be appointed by the Township Committee.
B.
The terms of the regular members shall be for a period
of five years, with the exception that the initial terms shall be
staggered so that not more than two members shall have terms expiring
in any given year.

The terms of the alternate members shall be for a
period of five years, with the exception that the initial terms shall

member. In the event that a choice must be made as to which alternate
member is to vote, Alternate No. 1 shall vote.
