[Adopted 6-15-2017 by BOH Ord. No. 004-2017]
The Board of Health may enact and amend health ordinances, and
make and alter necessary rules and regulations in the execution of
any power delegated to it or in the performance of any duty imposed
upon it by law.
Ordinances may be introduced and read on first and second reading
by reading the title only. Upon the adoption of any amendment following
second reading, the amended ordinance shall take the course prescribed
by law. Copies of each ordinance and resolution, in printed or typewritten
form, bearing a notation by the Board Attorney as to their approval
as to form and legality, shall be forwarded by the Secretary to the
Board to each Board Member at least 48 hours prior to introduction,
provided that the failure of the Secretary to the Board to make such
forwarding shall not invalidate any action taken by the Board.
Any person feeling aggrieved at the official action of the Board
or any of its members or employees shall be entitled to a hearing
during any regular meeting of the Board. In the event that the Board
determines that additional time or further consideration is necessary,
the Board in its sole discretion may adjourn and reschedule the meeting
and/or hearing and conduct additional investigation and/or research
or the like before making its final decision.
A.
Inspection of premises. The Board of Health, its agents and employees
shall have the right to inspect any premises in the Township of Bloomfield
if they have reason to believe that any provision of this chapter
or any health-related ordinance is being violated, or as part of a
regular program of inspection.
B.
Search warrant. If the owner or occupant of any premises refuses
to permit entry for the purpose of inspection, the Board of Health
may apply to the Municipal Judge for a search warrant. The application
shall be based upon an affidavit setting forth that the inspection
is part of a regular program of inspection or that conditions and
circumstances provide a reasonable basis for believing that a nuisance
or unsanitary or unhealthy condition exists on the premises. If the
Judge is satisfied as to the matters set forth in the affidavit, they
shall authorize the issuance of a search warrant permitting access
to and inspection of the premises.
The provisions of this article are declared to be severable,
and if any section, subsection, sentence, clause or part thereof is,
for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court
of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity
of any remaining sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or part
of this article.
Any ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent herewith
are hereby repealed.
This article shall become effective in accordance with law.
