Provides for mayor to retain appointing authority under certain circumstances.

This bill clarifies that in New Jersey municipalities using the council-manager form of government, mayors elected at-large (by all voters, not by district) retain the authority to appoint members to the board of education and public library trustees, rather than having that power transferred to the municipal manager. It also specifies that the mayor serves as the fifth member of the board of school estimate. The bill applies only to municipalities where the mayor is elected at-large and ensures the mayor, not the municipal manager, handles these specific appointments as required by existing law. This change does not create new appointment requirements but explicitly defines who has the authority in these circumstances.
