It is with great pleasure that The New Jersey Forest Service informs you that the Township of Howell has been awarded a Green Communities grant in the amount of $3,000. This award has been endorsed by the New Jersey Community Forestry Council., - BOB MARTIN Commissioner The major goal of the state's Community Forestry Program is to educate all 566 municipalities in the state about the benefits of developing their own distinctive community forestry program and to offer support for these programs. As a community's program develops, the extent of its tree cover will increase and the vitality of its trees will improve. It is our experience that this will lead to greater awareness and appreciation of the benefits of trees. The purpose of this Green Communities grant is to provide funding to hire a qualified expert to assist the Township of Howell in the development of a Community Forestry Management Plan. Now that this award has been made to the Township of Howell, the next step in the grant process is for the Township of Howell and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to enter into a grant agreement. Information is included for the next step of the grant process. Meanwhile please know that no monies from this grant award can be committed or expended until the grant agreement is fully signed.

70 Mr(s).- offered the following Resolution for adoption seconded by Mr(s). Resolution No. R RESOLUTION OF THE TOWNSHIP COUNCIL OF THE TOWNSHIP OF HOWELL AUTHORIZING AMENDMENTS TO THE RULES AND REGLTLATIONS FOR SEWER CONNECTION WHEREAS the Engineering Department of the Township of Howell and the Township Manager have reviewed the Rules and Regulations for Sewer Connection and have determined there is a need to streamline the application process and procedure; and WHEREAS the present Preliminary Approval process was designed when the entire Township was under the Wastewater Management Plan. Under the new Wastewater Management Plan only a percentage of the Township is required to be serviced by a public sewer system. The balance of the Township will be serviced by private systems (i.e., septic system). WHEREAS the present procedure mandates the development of a piece of property a multiple step preliminary application process just to determine if the property is located in or out of a sewer service area. Once it is determined, a resolution is passed by the Township Council declaring the aforementioned is required. The resolution process is a two (2) meeting process (workshop and regular meetings) and an applicant can be waiting for one to two months for this resolution of determination to be passed by Council. WHEREAS, to simplify the process the Township Engineer recommends that the governing body change the preliminary application process to a preliminary/conceptual review application. The Preliminary/Conceptual Review process will direct the applicant to file the appropriate Township application(s) and/or determine the following: 1. Whether or not the lot(s) is located within the Township of Howell's Sanitary Sewer Service area or another private franchise area; 2. Category Classification determination that is contained in the Township's Sewer Regulations; 3. If the applicant must file a tentative and final approval application to the Howell Township Municipal Utilities Department; 4.If the lot is located within the Township Service Area but the existing Township service line is too remote from the lot, the applicant will be directed to file a deed in Monrnouth County Clerk's Office declaring that, if and when a line is installed within 100' of the residential dwelling or commercial building, it will be mandatory for the owner of the property to connect to the Sanitary Sewer system at the property owner's expense; 5. If the lot is located within the Township's sewer service area and if it is a single connection application or a minor connection application. WHEREAS In addition to the foregoing, the present Preliminary Application review process is assigned to the Utility Engineer. However, under the new rules and regulations the

71 review process and assigning is now under the review and control of our in-house Engineering Staff. WHEREAS the present Township Ordinance was written when the Township owned the public water line and had Franchise Agreements with two (2) private water companies (Adelphia Water Co. and Parkway Water Co.). WHEREAS since that time the Township sold the water service to New Jersey American Water Company. Adelphia Water Company sold its franchise rights to New Jersey American Water Company and Parkway Water Company sold its franchise rights to Brick Township MUA. The Township is now divided up into two (2) franchises; New Jersey American Water Company and Brick Township MUA (a resident can also have a private well). WHEREAS, the Township's present procedure requires a developer of a piece of property to go through steps to determine which franchise the property is located in. Once that is determined a resolution from the Council is passed declaring which franchise the lot is in or the applicant can proceed to acquire potable well approval. This procedure is similar to the preliminary sewer approval process. The resolution process requires a workshop and regular meeting. As stated above an applicant can be waiting one to two months for the resolution of determination to be passed by Council. WHEREAS to streamline the process, it is recommend that an application be submitted to the Engineering Department and in response to the application the Engineering Department will inform the applicant what franchise to apply to or if the lot could be serviced by a potable well. Similar to the sewer review process, the review process for water applications will also be handled by the in house Engineering Department. WHEREAS, the Township Manager and the Township Council have reviewed the Amended Rules and Regulations submitted by the Engineering Department which amendments have also been reviewed by the Township Attorney and the Engineering Department and the Mayor and Council have found same to be proper in form and content and find that it would be in the best interest of the township that the revised Rules and Regulations, which are attached hereto and made a part hereof, be adopted; and NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Township Council of the Township of Howell as follows: 1. The revised Rules and Regulations for Sewer Connection be and are hereby adopted in accordance the Revised General Ordinances of the Township of Howell; 2. The Township Clerk shall forward a certified copy of the Resolution to the Engineering Department;

73 TOWNSHIP OF HOWELL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: January 4, TO: FROM: Helene Schlegel - Township Manager William H. Nunziato, Jr., PE - Township Engineer RE: TOWNSHIP WATER AND SANITARY SEWER REV1 ANCE AND RULES AND REGULATIONS As per your direction, The Engineering Department reviewed the existing Township Water and Sanitary Sewer Ordinance and Sanitary Sewer Rules and Regulations to help streamline the review process. We offer the following comments: I PRELIMINARY APPROVAL FOR SANITARY SEWER The present Preliminary ~ ~ ~ r process o & l was designed when the entire Township was under the Wastewater Management Plan. In theory it meant the Township is required to supply a public sewer system to every lot in the Township. Under the New Wastewater Management Plan only a percentage of the Township is required to be serviced by a public sewer system. The balance of the Township will be serviced by private systems (i.e., septic system). The present procedure mandates the development of a piece of property a multiple preliminary application step process just to determine if the property is located in or out of a sewer service area. Once it is determined, a resolution is passed by the Township Council declaring the aforementioned is required. The resolution process is a two (2) meeting process (workshop and regular meetings). An applicant can be waiting for one to two months for this resolution of determination to be passed by Council. I1 RECOMMENDATION To simplify the process we recommend the following: Change the Preliminary Application process to Preliminary/Conceptual Review Application. In response to the application a letter from my Office will inform the Applicant of the following:

74 Page 2 January 4,2011 RE: TOWNSHIP WATER AND SANITARY SEWER REVISED ORDINANCE AND RULES AND REGULATIONS The PreliminaryIConceptual Review process will direct the applicant to file the appropriate Township application(s) andlor determine the following: 1. Whether or not the lot(s) is located within the Township of Howell's Sanitary Sewer Service area or another private franchise area. 2. Category Classification determination that is contained in the Township's Sewer Regulations. 3. If the applicant must file a tentative and final approval application to the Howell Township Municipal Utilities Department. 4. If the lot is located within the Township Service Area but the existing Township service line is too remote fiom the lot, the applicant will be directed to file a deed in Monrnouth County Clerk's Office declaring that, if and when a line is installed within 100' of the residential dwelling or commercial building, it will be mandatory for the owner of the property to connect to the Sanitary Sewer system at the property owner's expense. 5. If the lot is located within the Township's sewer service area and if it is a single connection application or a minor connection application. 111 APPLICATION FEE AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICE ESCROW FEES The present Preliminary Application review process is assigned to the Utility Engineer. During 2009 and 2010 there were 44 Preliminary Sanitary Sewer applications. For professional services the Township received $44, in escrow fees paid by the developer. The Consulting Utility Engineer charges to this escrow fund for their review. By changing the review process and assigning it to the in-house Engineering Staff, the Township will utilize the funds to offset the Township's overhead. IV PRELIMINARY WATER APPLICATIONS The present Township Ordinance was written when the Township owned the public water line and had Franchise Agreement with two (2) private water companies (Adelphia Water Co. and Parkway Water Co.). Since that time the Township sold the water service to New Jersey American Water Company. Adelphia Water Company sold its franchise rights to New Jersey American Water Company and Parkway Water Company sold its hchise rights to Brick Township MUA.

75 Page 3 January 4,2011 RE: TOWNSHIP WATER AND SANITARY SEWER REVISED ORDINANCE AND RULES AND REGLTLATIONS The Township' is now divided up into two (2) franchises; New Jersey American Water Company and Brick Township MUA (a resident can also have a private well). V RECOMMENDATION The Township's present procedure requires a developer of a piece of property to go through steps to determine which franchise the property is located in. Once that is determined a resolution from the Council is passed declaring which franchise the lot is in or the applicant can proceed to acquire potable well approval. This procedure is similar to the preliminary sewer approval process. The resolution process requires a workshop and regular meeting. As stated above an applicant can be waiting one to two months for the resolution of determination to be passed by Council. To streamline the process, we recommend an application be submitted to my Office. In response to the application we will inform the applicant which franchise to apply to or the lot could be serviced by a potable well VI APPLICATION FEE AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICE ESCROW FEE The present Preliminary Application review process is assigned to the Consulting Utility Engineer. During 2009 and 2010 there were 15 applications for water service. For professional services the Township received $1 5, in escrow fund to be utilized by the Consulting Utility Engineer or their review. By changing the review process will expedite the approval process and by assigning it to the in-house Engineering Staff, the Township can utilize the escrow fees to offset the Township's overhead. VII ATTACHMENTS If the aforementioned is acceptable as to an engineering standpoint, I have attached markedup Ordinances and the Sanitary Sewer Rules and Regulations that should be revised. I also recommend the Township Attorney review these documents. Please feel free to call should you have any questions.
