40:54A-3. Employees and assistants; compensation; selection; civil service; offices; records
Insofar as may be practicable, the employees and assistants required by the authority shall be recruited from the public officers and employees of the municipality served by the authority. The municipal counsel shall be the counsel to the authority; the municipal engineer shall be the engineer of the authority; and the several departments of the municipal government shall be available to the authority for the purposes of the authority's business. Municipal employees serving the authority shall do so without compensation other than their regular compensation as employees of the municipality. The authority shall, from time to time, make known to the mayor or other executive head of the municipality served by it, its wants in the nature of services by employees of the municipality, and the mayor or other executive head shall designate which of the municipality's employees, if any, shall render such services.
To the extent that the authority shall deem it necessary to carry on its function, and to the extent that it shall consider the services of existing employees of the municipality insufficient for its purposes, it may employ such additional employees or services and at such compensation as may be approved by resolution of the governing body of the municipality. Its requirements in this direction shall be submitted from time to time in writing to such governing body.
The Civil Service laws, rules and regulations of the State, applicable to the municipality served by the authority, shall govern the appointment of employees of the authority. Such laws, rules and regulations shall not be deemed to prevent the use of services of existing employees, without extra compensation therefor, nor shall the use of such services operate to enlarge the civil service rights or the status of the municipal employee rendering the same.
The authority shall have and maintain a suitable office, where its maps, plans, documents, records and accounts shall be kept, subject to public inspection at such times and under such reasonable regulations as the authority shall determine. If practicable, existing office facilities of the municipality served by the authority shall be used without charge by the municipality, and the office and similar equipment of the municipality shall, wherever possible, be used by and be made available for the use of the authority without charge.
