Board of Trs. of Mercer County Comm. College v. Sypek

In Board of Trs. of Mercer County Comm. College v. Sypek, 160 N.J. Super. 452, 390 A.2d 629 (App.Div.1978), the court held that the county community colleges and vocational schools that were created by state statute were not agencies with the ambit of the Optional County Charter Law. The court reached this conclusion based on the absence of express power over such agencies under the Optional County Charter Law. The court noted that "a court should not find such power in the county unless the statute under consideration confers it expressly or by unavoidable implication." Id. at 462, 390 A.2d 629.
