A.
The Borough Council may authorize the Joint Land Use Board from time
to time to prepare a program of municipal capital improvement projects
projected over a term of at least six years, and amendments thereto.
Such program may encompass major projects being currently undertaken
or future projects to be undertaken with federal, state, county and
other public funds or under federal, state or county supervision.
The first year of such program shall, upon adoption by the Borough
Council, constitute the capital budget of the Borough as required
by N.J.S.A. 40A:4-43 et seq. The program shall classify projects in
regard to the urgency and need for realization and shall recommend
a time sequence for their implementation. The program may also contain
the estimated cost of each project and indicate probable operating
and maintenance costs and probable revenues, if any, as well as existing
sources of funds or the need for additional sources of funds for the
implementation and operation of each project. The program shall, as
far as possible, be based on existing information in the possession
of the departments and agencies of the Borough and shall take into
account public facility needs indicated by the prospective development
shown in the Master Plan of the Borough or as permitted by other municipal
land use controls.
B.
In preparing the program, the Joint Land Use Board shall confer in
a manner deemed appropriate by the Board with the Mayor, the chief
fiscal officer, other municipal officials and agencies and the school
board or boards.
C.
Any such program shall include an estimate of the displacement of
persons and establishments caused by each recommended project.
D.
In addition to any of the requirements in Subsections A, B and C of this section, whenever the Joint Land Use Board is authorized and directed to prepare a capital improvements program, every department, authority or agency shall, upon request of the Joint Land Use Board, transmit to said Board a statement of all capital projects proposed to be undertaken by such municipal department, authority or agency during the term of the program for study, advice and recommendation by the Joint Land Use Board.
Whenever the Joint Land Use Board has prepared a capital improvement program pursuant to § 190-80 of this chapter, it shall recommend such program to the Borough Council, which may adopt such program with any modification approved by affirmative vote of a majority of the full authorized membership of the Borough Council, with the reasons for said modification recorded in the minutes.
Whenever the Joint Land Use Board shall have adopted any portion
of the Master Plan, the Borough Council or other public agency having
jurisdiction over the subject matter, before taking action necessitating
the expenditure of any public funds incidental to the location, character
or extent of such project, shall refer the action involving such specific
project to the Joint Land Use Board for review and recommendation
in conjunction with such Master Plan and shall not act thereon without
such recommendation or until 45 days have elapsed after such reference
without receiving such recommendation. This requirement shall apply
to action by a housing, parking, highway, special district or other
authority, redevelopment agency, school board or other similar public
agency, state, county or municipality. In addition, this requirement
shall apply to any public entity taking any action to permit the location,
erection, use or maintenance of an outdoor advertising sign required
to be permitted pursuant to P.L. 1991, c. 413 (N.J.S.A. 27:5-5 et
seq.).
