A.
The
head of each department, known as the "Director," shall, subject to
the supervision of the Business Administrator and subject to the Charter
and ordinances of the City:
(1)
Have, exercise and discharge the functions, powers and duties of
the department.
(2)
Prescribe the internal organization of the department and the duties
of his or her subordinates and assistants.
(3)
Administer the work of the department through the divisions established
by this chapter and such other units of administration as he or she
may find necessary or desirable.
(4)
Appoint officers and employees employed within the department and
assign functions, powers and duties to them.
(5)
Delegate such of his or her powers as he or she may deem necessary
for the efficient administration of the department, to be exercised
under his or her direction and supervision by division heads.
B.
Said
supervision and required reports shall not extend or apply to the
Department of Law or to the office of the City Clerk and shall not
extend or apply to the exercise of the control function in the management
of the finances of the City, which control function is required by
statute (N.J.S.A. 40:69A-48) to be exercised by an officer of the
City other than the Business Administrator.
Whenever a vacancy exists, by resignation, removal or otherwise,
in the office of a Director of any City department, the Mayor may
temporarily fill such vacancy in cases not specifically provided for
in the Charter or ordinances by appointing an Acting Director from
among the existing officers and employees of the City, who shall perform
all the duties and functions of such department head, until the office
shall be filled permanently. Any such appointment of an Acting Director
shall terminate not later than 90 days after the date of the appointment,
unless the Council shall, by resolution, authorize one or more extensions
thereof.
Whenever any administrative officer or the head of any administrative
department or division thereof is, by reason of absence or disability,
unable to perform his or her official duties, one or more officers
or employees under his or her supervision whom he or she has designated
may perform the ministerial duties of such office during such time
as the absence or disability of the officer may continue. It shall
be the duty of the head of each department and division to designate
one or more such persons. When any person so designated to perform
the duties of an officer during his or her absence or disability is
required to sign any official document pertaining to such office,
it shall be signed in the name of such officer and by the subordinate
as designee.
