[Adopted by Ord. No. 1992-20 (Sec. 2-38 of the 1987 Revised General Ordinances)]
There is hereby established a Meritorious Service Award for
those individuals who serve as volunteers in the Borough of Red Bank
Fire Department, First Aid, Fire Police, Ladies Auxiliary or Scuba
Diving Team. Members who complete 25 years and who complete 50 years
of active service shall receive such awards for their long-standing
service to the Borough.
The nature of the award shall be appropriate for the long-standing
service to the Borough. It is the intent and desire of the governing
body that an appropriate medal be struck and that the fifty-year medal
be struck in silver and the twenty-five-year medal be struck in bronze.
It is further desired that such medals shall be of a type that may
be suspended on a ribbon and be worn with a dress uniform. Additionally,
there shall be a service ribbon appropriate to be affixed for daily
wear on a service uniform.
There shall be an appropriate public meeting or gathering at
which time the honorees shall be ceremoniously presented with their
awards by the governing body.
The Borough Clerk shall maintain lists of all recipients of
this Meritorious Service Award, which lists shall be formally posted
in a conspicuous place in the Borough Hall.
The Meritorious Service Award ceremony shall be held annually.
The first ceremony shall honor those volunteers who have accumulated
50 years or 25 years of meritorious service prior to 1992.
