Salaries and compensation — See Ch. 37.
The day-to-day demand of administrative and
governmental affairs has grown to the extent that it has become increasingly
difficult for the Carneys Point Township Committee to devote adequate
time to the discharge of such duties. The public interest in the economical
and efficient administration of Township business requires the creation
of the position of Township Administrator. The Township Administrator
will provide the Cameys Point Township Committee necessary assistance
in the prompt day-to-day management of the administrative affairs
of the Township of Carneys Point, coordinate the activities of the
various departments within the municipality and assist in planning
and supervising the execution of governmental efforts in those areas
where a continuous and sustained effort is required.
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:9-136 et seq., the
