Fort Monmouth special improvement district.
Status: in_force

22. a. For the purposes of this section: "Affected municipality" means a municipality that is located within, in whole or in part, a Fort Monmouth special improvement district established pursuant to subsection b. of this section. "Fort Monmouth special improvement district" means an area within the project area designated by resolution of the authority and by concurring ordinance of an affected municipality as an area in which a special assessment on property within the project area shall be imposed for the purposes of promoting the economic and general welfare of the project area. The resolution shall exempt residential properties, residential portions of mixed use properties, or parcels with any number of residential units located within the Fort Monmouth special improvement district from special assessment. The resolution may exempt vacant properties within the Fort Monmouth special improvement district from special assessment. b. A Fort Monmouth special improvement district resolution may be adopted if the authority finds: (1) that an area within the project area, as described by lot and block numbers and by street addresses in the enabling resolution, would benefit from being designated as a Fort Monmouth special improvement district; (2) that the authority would provide administrative and other services to benefit the businesses, employees, residents and consumers in the Fort Monmouth special improvement district; (3) that a special assessment shall be imposed and collected by the affected municipality or municipalities with the regular property tax payment or payment in lieu of taxes or otherwise, and that all or a portion of these payments shall be transferred to the authority to effectuate the purposes of this act and to exercise the powers given to it by resolution; and (4) that it is in the best interest of the public to create a Fort Monmouth special improvement district. If the authority determines that the imposition and collection of the special assessment will involve annual costs to an affected municipality in addition to the initial cost of the imposition and collection of the regular property tax payment or payment in lieu of taxes or otherwise, and that such annual costs relate to property tax payment imposition and collection activities peculiar to the Fort Monmouth special improvement district, and distinguished from property tax payment imposition and collection activities normally provided by the municipality outside of the Fort Monmouth special improvement district, the authority shall provide that the property tax payment imposition and collection activities of the affected municipality be conducted pursuant to the provisions of this act and provide that no more than 25 percent of the funds generated from the proceeds of the collection of the special assessment be retained by the affected municipality to cover the costs of the property tax payment imposition and collection activities of the affected municipality conducted pursuant to the provisions of this act. The percentage amount of funds to be retained by the affected municipality for such purpose shall be established by agreement with the authority and by concurring ordinance of the affected municipality prior to the collection of the special assessment, and such percentage amount shall not be changed throughout the duration of the agreement. c. The authority may, by resolution, authorize the commencement of studies and the development of preliminary plans and specifications relating to the creation and maintenance of a Fort Monmouth special improvement district, including, whenever possible, estimates of construction and maintenance, and costs and estimates of potential gross benefit assessment. These studies and plans may include criteria to regulate the construction and alteration of facades of buildings and structures in a manner which promotes unified or compatible design. d. Upon review of the reports and recommendations submitted, a resolution may be adopted authorizing and directing the establishment and maintenance of a Fort Monmouth special improvement district. In addition to other requirements for the consideration and adoption of resolutions, at least 10 days prior to the date fixed for a public hearing thereon, a copy of the proposed resolution and notice of the date, time, and place of the hearing shall be mailed to the owners of the lots or parcels of land abutting or included in the Fort Monmouth special improvement district proposed by the resolution. e. A Fort Monmouth special improvement district resolution may provide that a Fort Monmouth special improvement district shall be deemed a local improvement in accordance with this act and the provisions of chapter 56 of Title 40 of the Revised Statutes, R.S.40:56-1 et seq.; that all costs of development, construction, and acquisition relating to the provision of improvements for a Fort Monmouth special improvement district, as the case may be, shall be financed by the authority and assessed by the affected municipality or municipalities, as the case may be, to properties especially benefited thereby as provided generally by R.S.40:56-1 et seq., and the resolution shall list and describe, by lot and block numbers and by street addresses, all properties to be assessed for the Fort Monmouth special improvement district improvements. The affected municipality or municipalities, as the case may be, may provide by ordinance or parallel ordinance for one or more special assessments within the Fort Monmouth special improvement district in accordance with chapter 56 of Title 40 of the Revised Statutes, R.S.40:56-1 et seq.; provided that the special assessment carried out pursuant to this section shall be deemed an assessment for benefits and shall be as nearly as may be in proportion to and not in excess of the peculiar benefit, advantage, or increase in value which the respective lots and parcels of real estate shall be deemed to receive by reason of such improvement. f. If the authority determines that the improvements will involve annual costs to an affected municipality, in addition to the initial cost of constructing and making the improvements, and that such annual costs relate to maintenance services peculiar to the Fort Monmouth special improvement district, and distinguished from maintenance services normally provided by the municipality outside of the Fort Monmouth special improvement district, and will provide benefits primarily to property included in the district, rather than to the municipality as a whole, the resolution shall provide that the improvements and facilities thereof shall be operated and maintained pursuant to the provisions of this act and the municipality shall be authorized to provide that the costs thereof be assessed or taxed to benefited properties or businesses pursuant to the provisions of section 16 of P.L.1972, c.134 (C.40:56-80). At any time after the Fort Monmouth special improvement district resolution has been adopted or lands have been acquired or improved for a Fort Monmouth special improvement district, the authority may upon such determination provide, by separate resolution or by amendment to the resolution, that the improvements and facilities thereof shall be so operated and maintained and the costs so assessed to benefited properties or businesses. In any such case, such resolution shall describe the properties to be assessed, or in which any businesses may be contained which may be assessed, for such annual costs, which area may be given the name "(name of Fort Monmouth Special Improvement District) Fort Monmouth Improvement District."

Legislative findings and declarations
Status: in_force

The Legislature hereby finds that in recognition of the different health and health related problems experienced by the various age groups in the general population, numerous health care facilities have been constructed and placed in operation to provide specialized health and health related services to particular such groups; that in providing such services to the elderly it is essential to recognize that while the members of this age group possess the same civil and human rights as members of every other age group, such rights may be far more difficult for certain of the elderly to secure since such persons may be afflicted with physical and mental infirmities, deprived of the comfort and counsel of family and friends, and forced to exist with minimum economic resources, all of which may preclude them from defending and acting in their own best interests; and, that to the degree that certain of the elderly may experience difficulty in securing their civil and human rights as patients, residents and clients of the health care facilities created to serve their specialized needs and problems, it is the obligation of the State to take appropriate action through the creation of an adequate legal framework by which those difficulties may be eliminated. The Legislature, therefore, declares that it is the public policy of this State to secure for elderly patients, residents and clients of health care facilities serving their specialized needs and problems, the same civil and human rights guaranteed to all citizens; and that to this end there should be established as an agency of the State Government the Office of the Ombudsman for the Institutionalized Elderly, to receive, investigate and resolve complaints concerning certain health care facilities serving the elderly, and to initiate actions to secure, preserve and promote the health, safety and welfare, and the civil and human rights, of the elderly patients, residents and clients of such facilities.
