[Adopted 11-24-1998 by Ord. No. 98-13 as
Ch. 6 of the 1998 Code]
A.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Sewerage Authorities
Law of the State of New Jersey (P.L. 1946, c. 138; N.J.S.A. 40:14A-1
et seq.), there is hereby created a joint sewerage authority to be
known as the "Ewing-Lawrence Sewerage Authority," which shall have
and exercise all of the powers and perform all of the duties provided
for by the Sewerage Authorities Law and by any other statutes heretofore
or hereafter enacted and applicable thereto.
B.
As provided by law, the Sewerage Authority shall consist
of six regular members, three of whom shall be appointed by resolution
of the Township Council and three members who shall be appointed by
the governing body of the Township of Lawrence, whose compensation
for services as such members shall not be in excess of $1,500 per
annum.
[Amended 6-11-2013 by Ord. No. 13-23]
C.
In
addition to regular members of the Sewerage Authority, the governing
body of the Township of Ewing and the governing body of the Township
of Lawrence shall each appoint not more than two alternate members.
Alternate members for Ewing Township shall be designated as "Ewing
Township Alternate No. 1" and "Ewing Township Alternate No. 2." Alternate
members for Lawrence Township shall be designated as "Lawrence Township
Alternate No. 1" and "Lawrence Township Alternate No. 2." Alternate
members shall serve during the absence or disqualification of any
regular member or members of their respective township. Alternate
members may participate in discussions of the proceedings but may
not vote, except in the absence or disqualification of a regular member.
A vote shall not be delayed in order that a regular member may vote
instead of an alternate member. The term of each alternate member
shall be five years commencing on February 1 of the year of appointment;
provided, however, that in the event that the governing body of the
Township of Ewing or the governing body of the Township of Lawrence
appoints two alternate members, their initial terms shall be four
and five years, respectively. The terms of the first alternate members
appointed shall commence on the dates of their appointments and shall
expire on the fourth or fifth January 31 next ensuing after the dates
of their appointments. There will be no compensation for services
of alternate members.
