A.
The Borough Council may authorize the Planning Board
from time to time 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 Borough
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.
In addition to any of the requirements in Subsection 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 said 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.
