[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
The Mayor shall have all the powers and duties provided by state
statute. He shall, inter alia, see to the faithful execution of the
laws of the state and ordinances of the Borough, recommend to the
Council those measures he deems necessary or expedient, maintain peace
and good order and have power to suppress riots and tumultuous assemblies,
all as provided in N.J.S.A. 40A:60-5. He shall nominate and, with
the advice and consent of Council, appoint all officers in accordance
with N.J.S.A. 40A:60-5. As provided by N.J.S.A. 40A:60-5, he shall
preside over meetings of the Council and may, in the event of a tie,
cast the deciding ballot. Otherwise, he shall not vote. He may veto
ordinances in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40A:60-5.
Such veto may be overridden by a two-thirds vote of the Council.

If
the Mayor is absent from the Borough for three days or is otherwise

the Mayor. The Mayor shall notify the President in writing if he intends
to be absent for more than three days at any one time, and the President
shall become Acting Mayor upon receipt of such notice and continue
to act until the Mayor's return.

In
case of the inability of the President to assume the duties of Acting
Mayor, the member of the Council having the longest term of service

As provided by state statute, the members of the Borough Council
shall be chosen at the general election by popular ballot of the eligible
voters of the Borough of Kenilworth. The Council shall consist of
six members. Their terms of office shall be for three years beginning
