[Ord. #679, S 401]
a.Â
The Council may authorize the Planning Board 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 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.
In preparing the program, the Planning 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.
Any such program shall include an estimate of the displacement
of persons and establishments caused by each recommended project.
b.Â
In addition to any of the requirements in paragraph a of this section,
whenever the Planning Board is authorized and directed to prepare
a capital improvements program, every department, authority or agency
shall, upon request of the Planning Board, transmit to the 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 Planning Board.
[Ord. #679, S 402]
Whenever the Planning Board has prepared a capital improvement program pursuant to Section 22-40 of this chapter, it shall recommend such program to the Council which may adopt such program with any modification approved by affirmative vote of a majority of the full authorized membership of the Council and with the reasons for the modification recorded in the minutes.
[Ord. #679, S 403]
Whenever the Planning Board shall have adopted any portion of
the Master Plan, the 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 Planning 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 municipal.
