A copy of each map adopted pursuant to this chapter shall be
maintained in the office of the Borough Clerk, together with a copy
of this duly adopted chapter.
The drug-free zone maps approved and adopted pursuant to this
chapter shall continue to constitute an official finding and record
as to the location and boundaries of areas on or within 1,000 feet
of property owned by or leased to any elementary or secondary school
or school board which is used for school purposes until such time,
if any, that this chapter shall be amended to reflect any additions
or deletions with respect to the location of boundaries of school
property and drug-free zones.
The school board or chief administrative office in the case
of any private or parochial school is hereby directed and shall have
the continuing obligation to properly notify the Municipal Engineer
and the Municipal Attorney of any changes or contemplated changes
in the location and boundaries of any property owned or leased to
any elementary or secondary school or school board and which is used
for school purposes.
The Borough Engineer, together with the Public Works Department,
shall undertake to post "drug-free zone" signs to advise the public
that the Borough of Raritan enforces drug-free zones. However, it
is not intended by the Borough that any persons shall be entitled
to rely on the existence or nonexistence of such signs to indicate
the limits of the drug-free zones, and the official drug-free zone
maps shall, in all events, serve as the Borough's presumptive
evidence of the limits of the drug-free zones.
The Clerk of the Borough is hereby directed to receive and to
keep on file the original of the map approved and adopted pursuant
to this chapter and to provide at a reasonable cost a true copy thereof
to any person, agency or court which may from time to time request
such a copy, along with a certification that such copy is a true copy
of the map approved and adopted herein and kept on file. It is hereby
further directed that a true copy of such map and of this chapter
shall be provided, without cost, to the County Clerk and to the office
of the Somerset County Prosecutor.
The maps approved pursuant to this chapter may be changed from
time to time pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:35-7 and N.J.S.A. 2C:35-7.1,
as may be necessary, to include or delete certain properties which
may become, or which may no longer be, properties used for the purposes
described herein.
