AUTHORIZING ASSESSMENT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
WHEREAS, the Borough of Carteret are gravely concerned about the burden that
is placed on the Municipal infrastructure and public schooI facilities by new
development; and
WHEREAS, there is presently pending in the New Jersey Legislature Senate Bill
S-842 and Assembly Bill A-1712 (collectively the "Bills") which am designed to
authorize municipalities to assess development impact fees; and

residential developers make contributions for improvements to infrastructure and

safety facilities and educational facilities, all of which are severely impacted by
