Certain appointments to offices and/or employment of the borough are appointments specified by statute and/or ordinance to nominees of the Mayor, with the advice and consent of the Council; and in given circumstances, a time period may not be specified for the Council to act upon such appointment in the event that no Mayoral nominee is named, or named and approved by the Council.
In accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40:48-1 and N.J.S.A. 40:87-16,[1] the governing body shall prescribe and define, except as otherwise provided by law or ordinance, the duties and terms of office or employment, of all officers, employees and appointees; and provide for the employment and compensation of such officials, employees and appointees, in addition to those provided for by statute or ordinance as may be deemed necessary for the efficient conduct of the affairs of the municipality.
