The Council of the Borough of Jersey Shore finds
that there is a growing need in our community for a comprehensive
Swimming Pool Advisory Board. Council further finds that the Jersey
Shore Area Swimming Pool Association and Jersey Shore Recreation Board
are interested in promoting, both financially and otherwise, swimming
programs in the municipality. Accordingly, Council adopts the following
provisions.
A Jersey Shore Borough Swimming Pool Advisory
Board is hereby created to be composed and organized and to have the
powers and duties as set forth herein.
A.
The Swimming Pool Advisory Board shall be composed
of seven members. Five members shall be appointed by Jersey Shore
Borough. Of those five members appointed by Jersey Shore Borough,
three must be residents of Jersey Shore Borough. One member shall
be appointed by the Jersey Shore Recreation Board from its member.
One member shall be appointed by the Jersey Shore Swim Team Parents
Association from its members.

The members initially appointed by the Swimming Pool
Association shall serve terms of four, three and two years and shall
be and remain members of the Swimming Pool Association during their

The members initially appointed by Council shall serve terms of four
and three years, respectively. One may be a member of Council and
one may be from the citizenry of the Borough but shall not be members
of the other bodies having appointee powers. The member initially

term, the body which had initially appointed that member shall appoint
another individual to fill the unexpired term. All members shall serve
without pay.
