Director Chegwidden read the following statements prior to the publicspeaking:

AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESOLUTION

Resolution #42 on the agenda this evening is the Freeholders’ responseto the multiple affordable housing bills proposed by the StateLegislature.

The resolution states that we are aware of the need for affordablehousing, but reject the Residential Transformation Act, also know asthe Foreclosure Bill. As many of you are aware, the Foreclosure Billallows the State to purchase foreclosed homes and create affordablehousing even if the host municipality is not in agreement.

Resolution #42 also reinforces support for extending the municipalaffordable housing trust fund deadline four years in order to give the

municipalities more time to spend the funds they have collected fromdevelopers.

In the case that the extension approach fails, the resolution alsosupports Senator Bucco’s bill to allow the return of expired municipalaffordable housing trust funds to the County to re-distribute throughour Community Development process.

All of the Freeholders agreed to add this resolution to the agenda forthis evening’s meeting.

STATE STRATEGIC PLAN

We just learned that the State Planning Commission will not bereleasing the “red-line” version of the draft final State StrategicPlan until after a second public comment period on the original draft

has concluded.

We understand that only one public hearing will be scheduled and is tobe held in Trenton during the day.

Conducting another public hearing on the original Draft Final StateStrategic Plan serves no purpose, other than procedural, since OPA hasalready modified the plan.

We have yet to receive responses from OPA to our comments on the DraftFinal State Strategic Plan. According to OPA, the “red-line” versionaddresses most of the issues and concerns raised by the County and thegeneral public. However, it is impossible to know if this is accurateuntil we are able to review the plan.

7/31/2019 FH Minutes - 2012-05-23



424

Prior to the expiration of the 60-day deadline for adoption of theplan, OPA had announced the imminent release of the “red-line” version,which failed to materialize.

The New Jersey Office for Planning Advocacy should release the “red-line” version of the State Strategic Plan as promised and allow forcomment on the revised version prior to the State Planning Commissionconsidering adoption.

The Freeholder Board has directed the County Administrator to draft aletter to the Lt. Governor to request that the revised draft or “red-lined” version of the Plan be released and that ample time be providedfor review prior to the public hearing. A similar letter will also besent to each of the County’s legislators.
