Background checks are required for all employees and volunteers who are 18 or older who participate in activities sponsored by the borough, the Ho-Ho-Kus Recreation commission, and any nonprofit youth organization approved by the borough or its recreation commission. “For purposes of interpreting the information recorded in a criminal history record to determine the qualifications of the employee or volunteer of a nonprofit youth-serving organization and/or the employee or volunteer involved with borough sponsored programs involving minors, the borough shall presume that the employee or volunteer is innocent of any charges or arrests for which there are no final dispositions on the record,” the ordinance states. “Any employee or volunteer dissatisfied with the determination shall be entitled to file an appeal with the Criminal Background Check Appeal Panel created pursuant to this chapter.” The measure also states, “Each employee, volunteer, and participant shall be required to undergo the background check not less than once every three years, provided that the borough reserves the right to require more frequent testing.” This ordinance will be considered for final passage following a Feb. 26 public hearing that will be part of the regularly scheduled 8 p.m. council meeting.
