A Board of Recreation Commissioners in the Borough
of Wanaque is hereby established, which shall consist of seven persons,
all of whom shall be citizens and residents of the Borough of Wanaque.
[Amended 11-13-1968]
A.
The members of said Board of Recreation Commissioners
shall be appointed by the Mayor. The members first appointed shall
hold office for one, two, three, four, five, six and seven years respectively
from the first day of the year in which such appointment is made,
and until the successor of each is duly appointed and shall have qualified.
Thereafter, all appointments shall be for the term of five years and
until the successor of each is appointed and shall qualify. All vacancies
shall be filled for the unexpired term only. The members shall receive
no compensation for their services.
B.
In the event any member of said Board fails to attend
three consecutive regular-meetings of the Board without good cause,
his membership in said Board shall immediately cease. The Board, through
its Secretary, shall notify the Mayor and Council of such nonattendance.
Upon receipt of such certification, the Mayor and Council shall thereafter
direct the Borough Clerk to notify such member of such certification
and shall fix a time and place for hearing, at which time and place
such member shall appear before said Mayor and Council to determine
whether such nonattendance of such member was without good cause,
which member shall receive at least 10 days' notice of such hearing.
If the Mayor and Council are of the opinion that such nonattendance
was without good cause, the membership of said member in said Board
shall immediately cease and be considered vacant, and the Mayor shall
then appoint a new member to said Board for the balance of such member's
term.
The Board of Recreation Commissioners shall
at all times be subject to the general authority of the Mayor and
Borough Council, but shall have the powers, duties and authority provided
for in the Revised Statutes of the State of New Jersey, Sections 40:12-3
to 40:12-8 inclusive, as amended and supplemented.
The Board of Recreation Commissioners shall
organize and elect such officers and adopt such rules and regulations
as the Board may deem necessary for the faithful discharge of its
duties and for the proper exercise of the powers conferred on said
Board as provided for in the Revised Statutes of the State of New
Jersey, and may appoint such personnel as they shall deem necessary
and proper and shall fix and determine their respective salaries subject
to the approval of the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Wanaque.
The Board of Recreation Commissioners shall
make an annual written report on or before the first day of January
of each year, and shall transmit the same to the Mayor and Council
of the Borough of Wanaque: said annual written report shall contain
an itemized accounting of all activities, receipts, disbursements
and expenditures.
In the event the Mayor and Borough Council appropriate
moneys to the Board of Recreation Commissioners for the conduct of
its affairs, policies and programs, at no time shall the Board of
Recreation Commissioners expend more than the sum so appropriated.
The present Committee or Board of Recreation
of the Borough of Wanaque, or whatever term has heretofore been employed,
shall continue in effect until this chapter takes effect and until
such time as the members appointed by virtue of this chapter have
been duly appointed and qualify, whereupon the same shall automatically
be dissolved and all records be made available to the Board of Recreation
Commissioners hereby established.
