[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Council of the Township of Franklin 7-9-1991
by Ord. No. 1656 (Ch. 35 of the 1990 Code). Amendments noted
where applicable.]
The Township of Franklin has had in the past and will continue to have
among its employees persons who are notaries public in the State of New Jersey.
There is a need to establish a uniform policy in the Township on what fees,
if any, such notaries public are entitled to charge for the performance of
notary services while employed by the municipality during municipal work hours
and on municipal property. There is also a need to establish a policy as to
the fees that are to be paid by the Township of Franklin in connection with
an employee becoming or renewing his or her notary commission.
The Township Manager shall designate and approve those employees of
Franklin Township who shall be termed "municipal notaries."
A.
Any employee who has been designated by the Township Manager
as a "municipal notary" shall be reimbursed the following costs associated
with obtaining or renewing a notary commission:
B.
With respect to the fees associated with obtaining seal, the
Township shall pay such fees upon the employee becoming a notary and shall
not be obligated thereafter for any fees associated with replacement of such
seal.
When any such municipal notary shall perform notary services during
municipal business hours on municipal property, the Township of Franklin shall
charge for such notary services in accordance with applicable New Jersey statutes,
and all proceeds therefrom shall be placed within the general Township fund.
Any such municipal notary may not retain a fee or any portion thereof for
services rendered during municipal business hours at municipally owned or
leased facilities.
No Township employee who has not been designated as a municipal notary
shall perform notary services during Township business hours from a municipally
owned or leased facility.
