The Mayor and Council have determined that certain individuals
have vandalized, defaced and otherwise damaged tangible property by
use of what is commonly known as graffiti; that spray paint and indelible
markers have been used to permanently deface public and private property;
that the marring of such property has contributed to the degradation
of neighborhoods and public places; that the easy application and
ready accessibility to spray paints and indelible markers have facilitated
their misuse by minors and have hindered enforcement agencies from
preventing persons from defacing public and private property or apprehending
those permitting such conduct; and that a substantial portion of the
defacement of public and private property has been caused by minors
using spray paints and indelible markers, obtained both legally and
illegally.
[1980 Code § 123-2]
As used in this chapter:
Shall mean the painting, writing, drawing or otherwise inscribing
in any fashion and using any type of materials, regardless of the

property.
Shall mean any felt tip marker, china marker or similar device
that is not water soluble.

a.
No retail establishment or persons shall purposely or knowingly sell

which has a writing surface greater than one-half (1/2) of an inch,
to a minor, unless the minor is exercising First Amendment rights
protected by the Federal and New Jersey State Constitution, such as
freedom of speech or free exercise of religion, and unless prior notice
is given by the minor to the Borough by delivering to the Borough
Clerk a written communication signed by the minor and countersigned
by a parent or guardian, where practicable, which notice describes
the amount of spray paint and/or number of indelible markers to be
purchased, in what manner and for what First Amendment right the minor
will be purchasing the spray paint and/or indelible marker(s). Upon
such notification, the minor will be issued a special permit by the
Borough Clerk to purchase spray paint or indelible markers, which
permit will be collected by the retailer at the time of purchase and
all permits collected by the retailer in any one (1) month shall be
returned to the Borough Clerk on or about the first of the following
month.
b.
No minor shall, at the time of the purchase of the items referred to in Subsection a above, knowingly furnish fraudulent evidence of age of majority, including but not limited to a motor vehicle operator's license, a registration issued to a member of the Armed Forces or any document issued by a Federal, State, County or municipal government.

the offender is unable, for any reason, to comply with the above,
the Municipal Court shall have the authority to order the offender
to make the necessary monetary restitution to restore the property
to its original undamaged condition.
c.
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2A:53A-15, any parent, guardian or other person
having legal custody of a minor under eighteen (18) years of age who
fails or neglects to exercise reasonable supervision and control of
the conduct of such minor, shall be liable in a civil action for any
destruction or damage caused by such minor offender under the provisions
of this section.
d.
By this subsection, the Borough authorizes and directs the creation
of a Graffiti Trust Account to be maintained by the Borough for the
following purposes:
1.
To collect, obtain, maintain and distribute the sums described as "monetary restoration to restore the property to its original undamaged condition" described in Subsection b above.

be eligible for remediation out of the funds in the Graffiti Trust
Account.
3.

Any private property owner who fails to remediate this property as described above within thirty (30) days of the notice of damage shall be subject to a mandatory fine of fifty ($50) dollars for the first violation and one hundred ($100) dollars for the second and subsequent violation. If the graffiti/damage remains unremediated for a period of thirty (30) days, the owner or tenant of the private property will be subject to a daily fine of fifty ($50) dollars per day for every day in which the property in question remains unremediated. The fines collected pursuant to this Subsection 3-3.5 shall be deposited into the Graffiti Trust Account as described above.
4.
Any owner or tenant of private property subject to this provision
shall be entitled to receive restitution for the fine assessed in
this subsection from the individual responsible for the graffiti and/or
damage, or parent or guardian thereof.

feet of such school property.
[1980 Code § 17-2]
The Drug-Free School Zone Map approved and adopted pursuant to Subsection 3-4.1 of this section shall continue to constitute an official finding and record as to the location and boundaries of areas on or within one thousand (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 section shall be amended to reflect any additions or deletions with respect to the location and boundaries of school property and Drug-Free School Zones.
[1980 Code § 17-3]
The School Board, or the Chief Administrative Officer in the
case of any private or parochial school, is hereby directed and shall
have the continuing obligation to promptly notify the Municipal Engineer
and the Municipal Attorney of any changes or contemplated changes
in the location and boundaries of any property owned by or leased
to any elementary or secondary school or School Board and which is
used for school purposes.
[1980 Code § 17-4]
The Municipal Clerk is hereby directed to receive and to keep on file the original of the map approved and adopted pursuant to Subsection 3-4.1 of this section and to provide at a reasonable cost a true copy thereof to any person, agency or court which may 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 Union County Prosecutor.
[1980 Code § 17-5]

The failure of the map approved herein to depict the location and boundaries of any property which is, in fact, used for school purposes and which is owned by or leased to any elementary or secondary school or School Board, whether the absence of such depiction is the result of inadvertent omission or the result of any changes in the location and boundaries of such property which have not yet been incorporated into a revised approved map, shall not be deemed to be an official finding and record that such property is not owned by or leased to a school or School Board, or that such property is not used for school purposes.
d.
All of the requirements set forth in N.J.S.A. 2C:35-7, concerning
the preparation, approval and adoption of a Drug-Free School Zone

[Ord. No. 2488-2017 § 1]
This section shall be known and may be cited as, "Smoking on
Public Property Prohibited."
[Ord. No. 2488-2017 § 2]
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:48-2, the Governing Body of a municipality
may make, amend, repeal, and enforce such ordinances, regulations,
rules, and by-laws not contrary to the laws of the State of New Jersey
or of the United States of America, as it may deem necessary and proper
for good government, order, and protection of persons and property,
and for the preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare
of the municipality and its inhabitants, and as may be necessary to
carry into effect the powers and duties conferred and imposed by this
subtitle, or by any law.
Previous State legislation which prohibited municipalities from
passing strict local smoking laws that differed from the State standards
have been repealed and the State of New Jersey now expressly authorizes
municipalities to enact strict ordinances regulating smoking under
N.J.S.A. 26:3D-63.
N.J.S.A. 2C:33-13(b) also provides that the owner and/or operator
of a public place, such as public parks and recreational areas, may
prohibit smoking on said property.
The Roselle Park Governing Body recognizes the well-known health
and safety risks posed by smoking and finds that it is within the
public interest to prohibit smoking in public buildings and on Borough
owned public property, such as public parks and recreational areas.
The Roselle Park Governing Body also finds that the appearance
of public parks and recreational areas can be enhanced and the limited
resources of the Borough of Roselle Park Department of Public Works
can be conserved if smoking was banned from such areas, thereby keeping
such areas free of the litter typically generated by the smoking of
cigarettes, such as cigarette butts, ashes, and packaging.
[Ord. No. 2488-2017 § 3]
Shall mean all areas between a floor and ceiling, extending
to the outer perimeter walls of the structure.
Shall include all structures and property owned, leased,
rented, and/or operated by the Borough of Roselle Park, and/or occupied
by Borough employees and used for official business of the Borough
of Roselle Park.
Shall include all public parks, playgrounds, ball fields,
publicly owned or leased by the Borough of Roselle Park and all property
owned or leased by the Borough of Roselle Park upon which the public
is invited or upon which the public is permitted and where individuals
gather for recreational activities, including all areas adjacent to
such facilities, including but not limited to, any parking area, driveway,
or drive aisle.
Shall mean the burning of, inhaling from, exhaling the smoke
from, or the possession of a lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe, or any
other matter or substance which contains tobacco or any other matter
that can be smoked, or the inhaling or exhaling of smoke or vapor
from an electronic smoking device.
[Ord. No. 2488-2017 § 4]
a.
Smoking shall be prohibited in all municipal buildings as defined
herein. No smoking signs or the international "no-smoking symbol"
(consisting of a pictorial representation of a burning cigarette enclosed

building entrance and within each enclosed area where smoking is prohibited
by this section. The signs shall be clearly visible to the public
and shall contain letters or a symbol which contrast in color with
the sign, indicating that smoking is prohibited therein. The sign
shall also indicate that violators are subject to a fine.
b.
Smoking shall be prohibited within a twenty-five foot radius of the
front entrance of all municipal buildings. No smoking signs or the
international "no-smoking symbol" (consisting of a pictorial representation
of a burning cigarette enclosed in a red circle with a diagonal red
line through its cross section) shall be clearly, sufficiently and
conspicuously posted both on the building and at the twenty-five foot
perimeter of the front entrance of all Municipal Buildings where smoking
is prohibited by the section. The signs shall be clearly visible to
the public and shall contain letters or a symbol which contrast in
color with the sign, indicating that smoking is prohibited therein.
The sign shall also indicate that violators are subject to a fine.
c.
Smoking shall be prohibited in all public parks and recreational facilities owned or leased by the Borough of Roselle Park and all property owned or leased by the Borough of Roselle Park upon which the public is invited or upon which the public is permitted and where individuals gather for recreational activities, including all areas adjacent to such facilities, including but not limited to, any parking area, driveway, or drive aisle. The Roselle Park Municipal Complex, inclusive of the Municipal Court and Police Department, shall be specifically exempt from the provisions of this Subsection c, but shall be subject to all provisions set forth in Subsection b of this subsection. No smoking signs or the international "no-smoking symbol" (consisting of a pictorial representation of a burning cigarette enclosed in a red circle with a diagonal red line through its cross section) shall be clearly, sufficiently and conspicuously posted at each municipal building entrance and within each enclosed area where smoking is prohibited by this chapter. The signs shall be clearly visible to the public and shall contain letters or a symbol which contrast in color with the sign, indicating that smoking is prohibited therein. The sign shall also indicate that violators are subject to a fine.
d.
Smoking shall be prohibited in all vehicles registered to the Borough
of Roselle Park.
[Ord. No. 2488-2017 § 5]
The enforcement authority of this section shall be the Roselle
Park Police Department and the Roselle Park Deputy Code Enforcement
Officer.
[Ord. No. 2488-2017 § 6]
