New Jersey § 52:27bbb-21

§ 52:27bbb-21.

a. The chief operating officer shall conduct monthly meetings with the mayor, department

heads and the executive directors of any independent boards or authorities created

by the municipality or which otherwise operate in the name of the municipality. Meetings may be held more frequently, as necessary, at the call of the chief operating

officer. b. During the rehabilitation term, the chief operating officer may veto the minutes

of any independent board or authority, including, but not limited to, the housing

authority, parking authority, redevelopment authority, planning board and board of

adjustment. The mayor shall retain this power during the economic recovery term. c. A true copy of the minutes of every meeting of any independent board or authority,

including, but not limited to, the housing authority, parking authority, redevelopment

authority, planning board and board of adjustment, shall be prepared and forthwith

delivered to the chief operating officer or mayor, as the case may be. No action taken at any such meeting shall have force or effect until 10 days, exclusive

of Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, after the copy of the minutes shall have

been so delivered. If, in that 10-day period, the chief operating officer or mayor returns the copy

of the minutes with a veto of any action taken by the board or authority at the meeting,

that action shall be null and void and of no force and effect. Following the completion of the 10-day period, those actions not vetoed shall be

considered approved. d. To ensure the expeditious consideration of any decision by the planning board and

zoning board of adjustment or any other independent board or authority on the part

of the chief operating officer or mayor, as appropriate, the secretary of each board

or authority shall forward a copy of each resolution adopted by each board or authority

within five business days following the adoption thereof. For the purposes of the exercise of the veto power by the chief operating officer

or mayor pursuant to subsection c. of this section, the 10-day period shall commence

upon the receipt, by the chief operating officer or mayor, as appropriate, of those

resolutions.
