40:81-16.  Council to act as body;  investigating committees
    It is the intention of this subtitle that the municipal council shall act in  all matters as a body, and it is against the spirit of this subtitle for any of  its members to seek to influence the official acts of the municipal manager, or  any other officer, or to interfere in any way with the performance by such  officers of their duties.  Nothing herein contained shall prevent the municipal  council from appointing committees or commissioners of its own members or of  citizens to conduct investigations into the conduct of any officer or  department, or any matter relating to the welfare of the municipality, and  delegating to such committees or commissions such powers of inquiry as the  municipal council may deem necessary.
