directed to forward a certified copy of it to the Chief Financial Officer and to Martin Tave.
DATED: 02/10/03
TOWNSHIP CLERK EDEN: She explained that Resolution 86R-03 which approves the appointment of Matthew Thompson as Alternate Municipal Prosecutor, has a typo in the bottom paragraph. Mr. Thompson’s name appears as Harrison.
ATTORNEY STARKEY: He explained that he just noticed that in the first paragraph of this Resolution it states that this contract provides payment of $200 per client. That's not the way the Township does this for Alternate Municipal Prosecutors. The way it works is if the Municipal Prosecutor is unable to make it and the Alternate fills in then the Municipal Prosecutor pays the Alternate. So he recommended a deletion of that.
WHEREAS, N.J.S.A. requires municipalities within the State of New Jersey to appoint Alternate Municipal Prosecutor (s) to act in the absence of the Municipal Prosecutor; and
WHEREAS, the Township accordingly needs to appoint Alternate Municipal Prosecutor(s) in accordance with the requirements of said law; and
WHEREAS, the Local Public Contact Law (N.J.S.A. 40A:11-1, et. seq.) requires that the Notice of a resolution authorizing the award of contracts for “Professional Services” without competitive bids must be publicly advertised; and
WHEREAS, it is now the desire of this governing body to make appointments of attorneys that can serve in said capacity; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Mayor and the Committee of the Township of Jackson, County of Ocean, State of New Jersey as follows:
ANN MARIE EDEN, RMC TOWNSHIP CLERK
