[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Council
of the Township of Galloway 4-8-1986 by Ord. No. 821. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
This chapter shall apply to the aerial spraying
process only.
As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
Those areas designated by the State of New Jersey as being
eligible for funding, together with those areas which have been designated
by the State of New Jersey as areas in which gypsy moth damage can
be expected at high levels.
In state-designated areas, the municipal government,
through its duly designated coordinator, shall arrange for the aerial
spraying process to take place and the payment therefor by the citizens
located in said areas as follows:
A.
Any and all state and county grant moneys made available
for this project shall first be applied to the total cost. The unpaid
balance shall then be divided among all of the residents of the township
located in those areas that are sprayed. Each property owner shall
be financially responsible, based upon the following formula:
(1)
Each Tax Map lot shall be assessed.
(2)
Each acre or fraction thereof shall constitute one
billing unit.
(3)
In multiple-dwelling-unit Tax Map lots, each four
dwelling units, or fraction thereof, shall constitute one billing
unit. The total number of billing units times the amount per billing
unit charged will then be divided equally by the total number of units
within each Tax Map lot.
B.
Each bill so rendered to a resident shall be due and
payable in full to the Township of Galloway within 30 days from the
date of the rendering of said bill. In the event that the bill is
not paid as set forth, then the amount of said bill shall appear on
the next tax bill, shall appear as a lien against the real estate
and shall be subject to interest and any and all other late charges
and penalties just as if the same were taxes upon the real estate.
C.
Any properties which have not been designated to be
sprayed by the township or any other governmental agency and whose
owners desire to have their properties sprayed aerially may do so
under the following terms and conditions only:
(1)
The spraying may be handled through the Galloway Township
coordinator, who will arrange for spraying after a municipal contract
for the aerial spraying has been awarded and the parties to be serviced
have made payment, in full, in advance to the township.
(2)
Those persons owning property located outside of the
state- or municipally-designated spray areas may make arrangements,
without utilizing the township coordinator, to have their property
sprayed; provided, however, that said spraying process is accomplished
in accordance with state regulations and statutes with respect to
the manner of spraying and the type of products used in the spraying
process.
[Amended 6-28-2005 by Ord. No. 1609; 12-13-2016 by Ord. No. 1951-2016]
Any person who violates this chapter, upon conviction
in the Municipal Court of the Township of Galloway, shall be considered
a disorderly person and shall be subject to a fine of not more than
$2,000, imprisonment for not more than 90 days and/or a period of
community service for not more than 90 days. Each day that the violation
exists shall constitute a separate violation under this chapter.
