[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Somerville 2-21-89 as Ord. No. 1057. Amended in its entirety 11-6-95 by Ord. No. 2006. Further amendments noted where applicable.]
In accordance with and pursuant to the authority of L. 1988 c. 44 (N.J.S.A. 2C:35-7), the Drug-Free School Zone Map produced as set forth below is hereby approved and adopted as official findings and records of the locations and areas within the municipality of property which is used for school purposes and which is owned by or leased to any elementary or secondary school or school board, and of the areas on or within one thousand (1,000) feet of such school property. A copy of said map is on file in the Borough of Somerville Municipal Clerk's Office. Said map was originally prepared by E.S. Van Fleet, Borough Engineer; Revised April 10, 1980, by E.R.Westling, III, Borough Engineer; last Revised December 18, 1987, by Richard A. Stabile, Borough Engineer.
Vanderveer Elementary School
Middle School/Central School/ Immaculate Conception School
Immaculata High School/ Somerville High School
The Drug-Free School Zone Map approved and adopted pursuant to this chapter 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 chapter shall be amended to reflect any additions or deletions with respect to the location and boundaries of school property and Drug-Free School Zones.
The School Board or 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 or leased to any elementary or secondary school or school board and which is used for school purposes.
The Clerk of the Municipality is hereby directed to receive and to keep on file the original of the map approved and adopted pursuant to this chapter and to provide at a reasonable cost a true copy thereof to any person, agency or court which may from time to time 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 Somerset County Prosecutor.
Pursuant to the provisions of L. 1988, c. 441 (N.J.S.A. 2C:35-7 et seq.), a prosecutor is not precluded from introducing or relying upon any other evidence or testimony to establish a violation of the offense defined in that statute, including use of the map or diagram other than the one approved and adopted pursuant to this chapter. 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.
All of the requirements set forth in L. 1988, c. 44 (N.J.S.A. 2C:35-7 et seq.), concerning the preparation, approval and adoption of a Drug-Free School Zone Map have been satisfied.
