[Adopted by Ord. No. 1107 (§ 2-12A of the 1987 Code)]
A.
Effective enforcement of state and local parking regulations
enhances the efficient flow of traffic throughout the Borough thereby
contributing to the health, safety and well-being of the inhabitants
of the Borough.
B.
Appointment of parking enforcement officers with power
to issue summons for violations of Title 39 of the New Jersey Statutes
and municipal ordinances will enable the Borough to enforce such laws
in a cost-effective manner.
C.
It is, therefore, in the public interest that an ordinance
authorizing employment of parking enforcement officers be enacted
by the Borough Council.
The Borough Council may, consistent with the
requirements of state law, appoint persons to perform the duties and
responsibilities authorized by P.L. 1987, c. 260.[1] Such persons shall be strictly prohibited from carrying
or using firearms while on duty.
