Editor's Note: The Municipal Utilities Authority was reestablished by original Section 1-15 of the Administrative Code Ordinance, adopted 10-21-1969 by Ord. No. 20-69 (see Ch. 3, Administrative Code, § 3-74). The provisions of that section were not substantively different from the provisions of this ordinance.
A.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal and County
Utilities Authorities Law (P.L. 1957, c. 183),[1] particularly Section 6 thereof,[2] the Evesham Sewerage Authority is hereby reorganized as a municipal
authority and as a public body corporate and politic under the name and style
of the "Evesham Municipal Utilities Authority."[3]
B.
The Evesham Municipal Utilities Authority shall have
all of the rights and powers granted by said law, and shall be subject to
all of the duties and obligations imposed by said law and subject to the rights
(if any) of the holders of any bonds or other obligations of the Evesham Sewerage
Authority heretofore issued, shall be the successor in all respects to that
Sewerage Authority and shall forthwith succeed to all of the rights, property,
assets and franchises of said Sewerage Authority, and said bonds or other
obligations (if any) of said Sewerage Authority shall be assumed by and become
the obligations of the Evesham Municipal Utilities Authority, and the property
of said Sewerage Authority shall be vested in the Evesham Municipal Utilities
Authority.
C.
As per the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40:14B-4, the Evesham
Municipalities Utilities Authority shall be comprised of five members to be
appointed by the Township Council in accordance with the provisions of said
section. There shall be two alternate members of the Evesham Municipal Utilities
Authority to be designated by the Township Council as Alternate No. 1 and
Alternate No. 2 at the time of the appointment and to serve during the absence
or disqualification of any regular member or members. 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 two alternate members are appointed,
their initial terms shall be four and five years, respectively. 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 Evesham Municipal Utilities Authority hereby created is a municipal
authority as contemplated and provided for by said Municipal Utilities Authorities
