Princeton U. drops Wilson’s name from academic buildings By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004

The Princeton University Board of Trustees has agreed to drop President Woodrow Wilson’s name from its Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and from the residential Wilson College. The trustees voted to remove Wilson’s name at its June 26 meeting, on the recommendation of Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber. The trustees cited Wilson’s “racist thinking and policies (that) make him an inappropriate namesake whose scholars, students and alumni must be firmly committed to combating the scourge of racism in all its forms.” The former Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs will be known as the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. It had been named in Wilson’s honor in 1948. The former Wilson College will be known as First College. Plans were already in the works to close Wilson College and retire its name after opening two new residential colleges that are under construction near Poe Field. The Woodrow Wilson Award will continue to be awarded – with its name unchanged – to an alumnus or alumna on Alumni Day to recognize the recipient’s extraordinary public service. When Princeton University accepted the award from an anonymous donor in 1956, it took on a legal obligation to name the prize for Wilson, officials said. Previous winners of the Woodrow Wilson Award include political activist Ralph Nader, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotormayor, former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean, former New Jersey U.S. Senator Bill Bradley and U.S. Army Lt. General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Wilson, who graduated in 1879 from The College of New Jersey – Princeton University’s historic name – grew up in Georgia and South Carolina. He joined the Princeton University faculty in 1890, where he taught politics and jurisprudence. Wilson served as the president of Princeton University from 1902-10. He served two years as the governor of New Jersey before being elected president of the United States, serving from 191421. During his time in office, Wilson initiated the federal income tax, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Trade Commission, which addressed price fixing. He also supported giving women the right to vote, which was established in the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It was ratified in 1920.

Wilson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919 for his efforts to establish the League of Nations in the aftermath of World War I. It was formed in 1920 and subsequently dissolved. The United Nations was the successor to the League of Nations, created after World War II. But it was Princeton University’s Black Justice League that initiated the movement to drop Wilson’s name from the School of Public and International Affairs. It began with student protests in November 2015, aimed at dismantling “the legacy of white supremacy and anti-Blackness on campus,” according to an online petition filed by the student-led group. The student protesters occupied the Nassau Hall office of Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber for 32 hours on Nov. 18-19, 2015. They refused to leave until they reached an agreement with him and university officials. As a result, the Princeton University Board of Trustees created an ad hoc committee to study Wilson’s legacy at Princeton University. In its April 2016 report, the committee recommended reforms to increase the university’s inclusiveness and to recount its history more completely – but it left the names of the school and residential college intact. But last month, the trustees reconsidered its earlier conclusions in the wake of the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and Rayshard Brooks, Eisgruber said. The killings of those Blacks drew “renewed attention to the long and damaging history of racism in America,” he said. Eisgruber said that he and the trustees respected the Wilson Legacy Review Committee’s process and report, “including its presumption that names adopted by the trustees after full and thoughtful deliberation would remain in place, especially when the original reasons for adopting the names remained valid.” “The board nevertheless concluded that the presumption should yield in this case because of considerations specific to Wilson’s racist policies and to how his name shapes the identities of the school and the (residential) college,” Eisgruber said. Wilson actively discouraged Blacks from applying to Princeton University, which admitted its first Blacks to the undergraduate program in the 1940s. “Wilson’s racism was significant and consequential even by the standards of his own time. He segregated the federal Civil Service after it had been racially integrated for decades, thereby taking America backward in its pursuit of justice,” Eisgruber said. Wilson’s action “added to the persistent practice of racism in this country, a practice that continues to do harm today,” he said. Two members of Wilson’s Cabinet, both Southerners, advocated for racially segregating their departments soon after he took office. Wilson did not object, although the expansion of the practice was stopped by the end of 1913 after he was presented with a petition signed by 20,000 opponents of segregation, according to the U.S. Department of Labor website.

“When a university names a school of public policy for a leader, it inevitably suggests that the honoree is a model for students who study at the school. This searing moment in American history has made clear that Wilson’s racism disqualifies him from that role,” Eisgruber said. Princeton University honored Wilson “not because of, but without regard to or perhaps even in ignorance of his racism,” Eisgru-

ber said. But that is ultimately the problem, he said. Princeton is part of an America that has disregarded, ignored or excused racism and which has allowed the persistence of systems that discriminate against Black people, he said. “The steps taken June 26 by the Board of Trustees are extraordinary measures. These are not the only steps that our university is taking to combat the realities

and legacy of racism, but they are important ones,” Eisgruber said. “I join the trustees in hoping that they will provide Princeton University, the School of Public and International Affairs and our entire community with a firm foundation to pursue the mission of teaching, research and service that has defined our highest aspirations and generated our greatest achievements throughout our history and today.”

Three candidates vie for two Democratic nominations for Princeton Council during July 7 primary By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

In otherwise low-key Democratic and Republican party primary contests set for July 7, Princeton’s registered Democratic Party voters will be asked to choose from among three candidates for the nomination to run for two open Princeton Council seats in the Nov. 3 general election. Incumbent Princeton Council members David Cohen and Leticia Fraga are being challenged by political newcomer Dina Shaw. There is no contest for the Democratic Party nomination for mayor because Mark Freda is the sole nominee. The Republican Party did not field candidates for the mayor or Princeton Council. The winners of the two Democratic Party contests will de facto be elected to the respective offices for lack of opposition. The mayor’s term is for four years and the Princeton Council seats carry three-year terms. Also on the ballot are nominations for U.S. President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, the Mercer County Sheriff, the Mercer County Clerk and the Mercer County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Vote-by-mail ballots have been sent out and are due by July 7, Mercer County officials said. Mail-in ballots will be counted as long as they are postmarked by

July 7 and received no later than seven days after the primary date. In Princeton, a drop box for voters who do not want to put their ballots in the mail is in place in the courtyard in front of the Princeton municipal building at 400 Witherspoon St. Limited polling places are available in Princeton – at the Princeton Engine Co. No. 1 firehouse at 23 Chestnut St., the Princeton Hook & Ladder Co. firehouse at 25 N. Harrison St. and the Suzanne Patterson Center at 1 Monument Dr. – for voters who choose to vote in person. Voters should check their voting districts to determine the location of their polling place. They will be voting with provisional, or paper, ballots. Voting machines will be available for people with disabilities. Cohen, who is seeking his second term, said he is running for re-election because many of the issues that are facing the town are issues on which he has the most to offer. Cohen reeled off a list of those issues – implementing the town’s Climate Action Plan and working to improve the town’s land use policies to encourage “smart growth” and more sustainable development. Cohen said he also believes some continuity in government is essential for smooth functioning, and that is another reason why he has chosen to seek re-election.

There has been “enormous turnover” on the council, he said. “There is an enormous amount of information to be mastered if one is to serve effectively, and I feel I am just beginning to get a handle on how best to work collaboratively with staff and fellow elected officials to get things done,” he said. Fraga also is seeking a second term on the council. She is the first Latinx to serve on the Princeton Council.Her family immigrated to Washington State from Mexico when she was 12 years old. During her first term, Fraga said, she has focused on affordability, equity, sustainability and quality of life – all of which defined her initial campaign. Fraga said she sees a second term as a chance to amplify the momentum, goodwill and expertise that she developed in her first three-year term, “and to work alongside of colleagues – elected and volunteer – to build on our accomplishments.” “As a first-generation immigrant and as someone who has been involved hands-on, I have a good understanding of the needs of our vulnerable and underserved population,” she said. She said she uses that perspective in applying an “equity lens” to all policies that the council considers.

ROOTING OUT GUM DISEASE

Gum disease occurs as a result of the accumulation of the sticky film of bacteria called “plaque” that is constantly forming on tooth surfaces. If teeth aren’t brushed and flossed daily, the bacteria can lead to gum inflammation. As a result, gum tissue pulls away from teeth to form spaces called “pockets.” When plaque gets trapped in these pockets and cannot be removed with regular brushing, the dentist may resort to the deep-cleaning procedure known as “scaling and planing.” This involves removing all the plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) above and below the gum line with specialized instruments. Local antibiotics (Periochip, Atridox, and Arestin) may be strategically placed in the newly cleaned pockets to further inhibit bacterial growth. Although plaque is the number one cause of gum disease, other factors can contribute to its taking hold on your teeth. Hormonal changes, medications,

certain illnesses, bad habits, and even a family history of dental disease can all play a part. However, diligence in home care and regular professional visits go a long way to lessen the impact gum disease has on your mouth as well as overall health. We offer a full range of services to meet all your oral health care needs at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman. Please call 609-924-8300 for an appointment. “Our commitment is to relationships of partnership, respect, and appreciation.” “We offer cosmetic and family dentistry as well as Zoom!® and Invisalign®.”

Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com P.S. With direct local delivery of antibiotics to pockets surrounding teeth, the concentration of the antibiotic can be 100 times greater than taking the medication orally.

Advancing Your Mission During COVID-19 and Beyond will continue from 10:30 a.m. to noon on July 23, with a workshop on long-term strategies for resilience in terms of revenues, costs and business models. The sudden and pervasive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is upending revenue streams for many businesses. Non-profit cultural institutions are particularly hard hit as stay-at-home orders necessitate cancellation

of school programs, special events and regular visitation hours. How can non-profits make strategic financial decisions confidently during and after this crisis? Are there new business models, cost-saving strategies, and alternative revenue streams that can help? Does the crisis actually offer new opportunities to reimagine financial sustainability for these organizations? How will institutions ensure that their collections and programming are accessible to communities without resources, and would reaching such communities expand potential funding opportunities? This session will ask participants to consider equity and access alongside fiscal strategy and touch on board engagement and stewardship as well. Readings will be circulated ahead of time to familiarize attendees with some of the issues that may be at play. Each webinar is free to attend with registration. With registration you will receive information to participate via Zoom. The webinars will be recorded and shared publicly following each session.

Cochrane leaves Princeton schools took a few twists and turns. He enrolled at Harvard University and earned a master’s degree in higher educational administration. While he was studying at Harvard, he was a dorm director at Wheelock College in Boston. The small college focuses on preparing teachers of young children. He stayed on and became the associate dean of admissions. As the associate dean of admissions at Wheelock College, he reprised his role as a representative of the college. Only this time, instead of talking about the power and importance of a liberal arts education, he spoke about the power and importance of working with young children. As Princeton alumni occasionally do, Cochrane returned to Princeton University. He became the assistant dean of students, but Wheelock College’s mission stayed with him. “I loved the interaction with the students at Princeton, but I kept wondering if I could make a greater difference with students by working with them at the beginning of the educational process instead of at the end, and in a public school setting rather than at one of the most elite colleges in the world,” he said. In what he admitted was probably the most naive, idealistic and most important decision of his life, Cochrane said, he left a deanship at Princeton University

By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

Becoming an educator – much less serving as a superintendent of schools – was the last thing on Steve Cochrane’s mind as he sat on the lawn in front of Nassau Hall with his classmates in Princeton University’s Class of 1981 on graduation day. Cochrane had his heart set on following his father, who was an Episcopal bishop, into the ministry. After graduation, he was going to work for a year before heading to the seminary. “I had a job lined up as a management intern with Prudential Insurance, but I began to have cold feet about the monotony of commuting to New York every day in my three-piece suit with a thousand other people in their three-piece suits,” Cochrane said. At the last minute, he interviewed for a position as an admissions officer at Princeton University and was hired. He spent the next few years visiting high schools across the country, talking about the value of a liberal arts education. “I loved it,” Cochrane said. The first step in a career in education – which ended June 30, when Cochrane retired as the Princeton Public Schools Superintendent of Schools – had been taken. Cochrane’s career path into the public schools as a teacher and administrator

to teach a multi-age class of fourth- and fifth-graders at an elementary school in the South Brunswick Public Schools. “I have never looked back,” Cochrane said. Cochrane’s career moves took him to the Hopewell Valley Regional School District, where he was the principal of the Hopewell Elementary School and then the Timberlane Middle School. He moved to the Colts Neck Township Schools to become its director of curriculum and instruction. Cochrane accepted the position of superintendent of schools in the Princeton Public Schools in January 2014. Looking back at his career accomplishments – some large, some small – Cochrane said he was honored, as the principal at the Hopewell Elementary School, to join with the staff and families to transform the school into a joyful learning community focused on school-wide enrichment. The transformation at Hopewell Elementary was one that “we accomplished together, which is how all real change happens in education,” he said. “Here in Princeton, I am proud of how we came together as a community when I first arrived to establish a district mission focused on preparing all students to lead lives of joy and purpose. “We have shifted the direction of the district away

from achievement as defined by SAT scores and college admissions. “We have charted a course towards wellness, racial literacy and equity, ensuring that every child achieves their highest potential,” he said. The district changed the starting time at Princeton High School to later in the morning, created longer periods for deeper learning, and focused on authentic problem-based learning, Cochrane said. There is a system in place to review and revise the curricula to ensure it meets the highest standards of learning and engagement, and that it reflects the richness and diversity of the world, he said. Cochrane said he is proud of the teachers and staff and how they handled the “lightning quick” shift to remote learning in the wake of CO-

VID-19 this year. There has been a shift in the pace and priorities of the learning experience. The staff has provided emotional support and even food, as needed, during the pandemic, he said. Cochrane also takes pride in having overseen an approach to anti-racism that begins with relationships. Of the 15 teachers who have been hired for the 2020-21 school year, 10 are Hispanic, Black or Asian. There is more work to do to crate a “truly inclusive and culturally responsive community, but I believe we are headed in the right direction,” Cochrane said. Responding to the virus of racism, school districts across the country -including the Princeton Public Schools – are considering their complicity as well as the actions that must be taken to educate students to be anti-racist, he

said. “We have instituted a racial literacy elective at Princeton High School, but our vision has always been of a racial literacy requirement,” he said. It would begin with the youngest learners and extend through their school experience, culminating with them graduating with the knowledge, skills and values to navigate a racially complex world, Cochrane said. They would be able to address injustice whenever they see it. “If there is ‘unfinished business’ for me, that may be it. But I feel our school board, our staff and our community partners are prepared to make it happen,” he said. “I am leaving the Princeton Public Schools in great hands, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have served it for the past six years,” Cochrane said.

Prevent Painful Shingles Virus by Getting Vaccinated

ave you ever had chickenpox? If so, did you know you are at risk for developing shingles? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 99% of Americans born before 1980 have had chickenpox, meaning almost all older adults in the United States are at risk for shingles. And while an increasing number of younger people are also developing the virus, according to the CDC, the risk for shingles and serious complications increases sharply with age. People 50 and older can protect themselves against shingles and its painful complications by getting vaccinated. What is shingles? Also known as herpes zoster, shingles is a painful rash caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. After chickenpox resolves, the virus lies dormant in your nervous system but can reactivate at any time and cause shingles. The reasons why the chickenpox virus reactivates and causes shingles are not well understood, though the risk increases with a decline in your immune system. This decline can be caused by: • Increasing age • Stress • Cancer, especially leukemia and lymphoma • HIV • Bone marrow or organ transplants • Medications that suppress your immune systems, including steroids and chemotherapy It is important to note that individuals vaccinated against chickenpox can still develop shingles, but they are less likely to suffer from severe symptoms.

SOLUTIONS

are more likely to have longer lasting, more severe pain. Approximately 10-18% of people who get shingles will develop postherpetic neuralgia, according to the CDC. In cases where shingles involves the face and eye, blindness can occur. Rarely, shingles can lead to: • Pneumonia • Hearing problems • Brain inflammation • Death Can shingles be treated? Shingles can often be treated with anti-viral medication that shortens the duration and severity of the virus. However, these medications are most effective if you start taking them as soon as possible after the rash appears. Your doctor may also recommend over-the-counter or prescription medication to relieve the pain and itching. Once you’ve had shingles, the risk for developing it again is low. How can shingles be prevented? If you are 50 or older, the CDC recommends getting vaccinated. As with any vaccine, side effects can occur. The most common are soreness and swelling in your upper arm where the vaccine was given. While you may experience pain for a few days after getting the vaccine, the CDC notes that pain will be less severe than having shingles and the complications from the disease. If you are concerned about your risk for shingles, talk with your doctor about getting vaccinated.

These impacts are the result of our continent’s increasing exposure to ever more numerous, powerful storms, to sea level rise, and to the locating of communities in vulnerable areas. But what is not as immediately evident from these impacts is their rising costs, from recovery and from insurance. And these increasing costs may well damage substantially the U.S. economy. Black Rock, the investment management company, is predicting a 275% increase in major hurricane risk by 2050. Who will pay for this? It is unlikely that private insur-

ers, or their clients, can or would be willing to pay for the increasing costs. Because states cannot borrow, as the federal government can, this leaves the latter as the only actor able to respond. But the pandemic has revealed the difficulties and limits of federal spending, particularly when facing several calamities at once. Already banks are passing risky mortgages to the government-backed lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. But even now the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s flood insurance program is $20 billion in debt. And the increasing borrowing pressures are likely to increase the government’s low cost of borrowing, which, in turn, may slow the economy as a whole. This year has seen an increase in the federal deficit, rising from $1 trillion in 2019 to an expected $4 trillion this year. This increase will require more borrowing, while at the same time reducing the creditworthiness of borrowers. So, what do we do? The common sense answer is to reduce the causes, the drivers, of climate change. And the majority of scientists worldwide point to the necessity of reducing emissions from fossil fuels usage. This seems simple enough, but driving through the State of New Jersey one sees relatively few electric vehicles on the roads – despite the fact that gas-driven vehicles are the state’s leading source of emissions. The sight brings to mind the photos of hundreds of young people swarming southern beaches, despite the warnings of, and now the statistics of, exploding virus numbers. How to get people to reduce emissions? One strategy that is slowly gaining support is a carbon tax. We have seen that the climate crisis is already increasing costs. Therefore it is entirely reasonable to tax carbon usage, which would reduce that usage and raise needed revenue to address climate change costs – revenue that will be needed to be raised in any case. Both the nation and the world need leadership on this issue. There is no hope that our current leader or the Republican Senate majority either understands or is prepared to do anything to make the needed reductions. But our own future, and the world’s (as there is no other nation that has the potential to lead) urgently need that leadership in order to avoid the predicted destruction and the dangerously rising costs.

The Coming Costs

The CDC reports that for reasons unknown there has been a gradual increase in shingles cases among younger adults over a long period of time. About one out of every three people in the Unites States will develop shingles during their lifetime, according to the CDC. What are the signs of shingles? Shingles is characterized by a rash that typically occurs on one side of the body in one or two adjacent dermatomes where the virus has been hiding. Dermatomes are defined areas of the skin that are supplied by one of the nerves coming out of the spine. The most common area for shingles to develop is on your trunk, which is supplied by the thoracic nerve, but it can develop anywhere on your body. However, it rarely crosses the midline, meaning it usually does not affect both sides of your body at the same time. Shingles usually starts with pain, itching or tingling in the affected area. After a few days, clusters of blisters normally develop. These blisters eventually dry and crust over, and typically heal in two to four weeks. Some people may also develop a headache, fever, fatigue, chills, and sensitivity to bright light. It is rare for shingles to be transmitted from one person to another though it can spread through direct contact with fluid from the blisters. If you have symptoms of shingles, contact your doctor. The sooner you begin treatment, the better. What are the complications of shingles? The most common complication of shingles is a condition called postherpetic neuralgia, which is characterized by long-term nerve pain that persists in the area of the rash. This pain can last for weeks or months, and in some cases, years. The risk for developing postherpetic neuralgia increases with age. As the CDC reports, older adults

long with the spreading of the coronavirus, this country is facing a range of destructive changes from the climate crisis. And, not as widely recognized, the climate crisis is also resulting in escalating costs. NOAA warned last year that we faced 14 weather and climate calamities, each costing over $1 billion dollars in damages and recovery. And, NOAA predicted both the number and the costs will be increasing.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

By Michele S. Byers

New Jersey is home to aquatic and semi-aquatic mammals

ou’re walking near a stream or a lake and suddenly catch a flash of a small, sleek creature with dark, glossy fur. Could it be a mink? Or maybe you hear a loud slap on the water, followed by a glimpse of a submerged creature diving under a pile of sticks and logs. Could it be a beaver? l Yes and yes! Mink and beaver are native New Jersey mammals found in and around freshwater. They and other aquatic and semi-aquatic mammals – including otters, weasels, ermine, fishers and muskrats – are in this state we’re in, but they are not easy to spot. “They are incredibly secretive,” said Dr. Emile DeVito, staff biologist for the New -Jersey Conservation Foundation. “Nobody really studies them in New Jersey. They are tan overlooked group of animals, except by trappers.” r Anecdotal evidence suggests these aquatic mammals are becoming more common tdue to cleaner waters, more forest cover and less trapping. But because these animals are most active at dawn, dusk and nighttime, gthey are not often seen. But if you are in the right place at the tright time – possibly even in broad daylight m– here’s what you might see: e • Mink (Mustela vison) – Known for their exceptionally beautiful and soft fur, Ameridcan mink have a lanky body, long tail, short legs and partially webbed toes, which make kthem excellent swimmers. They are a member of the Mustelidae n t

family, which includes otters, fishers, skunks and weasels. Mink are solitary and territorial, feeding on crayfish, frogs, fish, mice, reptiles, earthworms, and waterfowl. Like their skunk cousins, mink defend themselves by spraying a foul-smelling liquid. • Beavers (Castor candensis) – Beaver are among the few animals, other than humans, who completely reshape their environment to suit their needs. After damming a stream to create a pond, they build a separate beaver lodge. They pile mud, rocks and sticks inside the lodge to form a “floor” above the water. On top of this, they weave sticks into a large mound. They burrow up through the floor and chew out branches from within to create a “room.” Beavers live in communal groups and slap their flat tails to warn of danger. Unlike many of the other animals on this list, beavers are not carnivorous – they are part of a unique family in the rodent family, and are vegetarians whose favorite foods include water lily tubers, spatterdock, clover, algae, apples and the leaves and green bark from trees. • River otters (Lutra canadensis) – Otters are the most aquatic members of the mustelid family. Their long stiff whiskers help them find prey, and special flaps allow them to close off their nostrils and ears to remain underwater for up to eight minutes on one breath. They are highly social and form family

groups centered on a female and her young. They eat fish, reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans, mollusks, insects and even small birds and mammals. • Ermine (Mustela erminea) – Ermine is another name for short-tailed weasel. They are famous for snowy white fur, but that’s just their winter coloring. In the summer, ermine coats are brown with white chests and bellies. Like mink and other weasels, they have long bodies, short legs, round ears, long tails and long whiskers. New Jersey is also home to long-tailed weasels (Mustela frenata), which do not change color in the winter. Weasels are carnivores like dogs, cats, bears and raccoons. • Fishers (Martes pennanti) – Fishers are the rarest of New Jersey’s water-loving mammals and are making a comeback in northwestern New Jersey after an absence of 100 years. These fierce carnivores go after squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, mice, raccoons, shrews and even porcupines.

According to the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey website, “The best description of a fisher would be to imagine a cross between a cat and a fox with the nasty attitude of a wolverine.” • Muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) – Despite their name and long, skinny tails, these rodents are not actually rats. Semi-webbed toes on their hind feet help them swim, and they eat roots, stems, leaves and fruits of aquatic plants, as well as small fish, clams, snails, crayfish and turtles. Muskrats sometimes build water houses like beavers, but they do not build dams. They have scent glands that secrete a musky odor – hence their name. Enjoy wildlife watching in New Jersey’s great outdoors and with luck you might spot some of these fascinating aquatic and semiaquatic mammals. Michele S. Byers is the executive director of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, Far Hills. She may be reached at info@njconservation.org

l Continued from Page 1A Shaw, who is making her first bid for elected office, is running on a three-point platform that focuses on managing economic development; communication and inclusivity; and support for the Princeton Public Schools. Shaw’s economic development platform calls for improving the town’s collaboration with Princeton University; promoting “creative” economic development to lower the residential property tax burden; and encouraging residents to patronize local businesses. She also seeks to clearly communicate

plans, ideas, policies and opportunities to the community through diverse platforms and languages, and to promote racial and cultural literacy, inclusion and diversity throughout the municipal government “to better understand and serve everyone in our community.” Shaw also wants to bridge the gap between municipal government and the public school system. Moving toward a more collaborative relationship with the Princeton Public Schools would strengthen the town, she said. NM-00434074

prisingly refined ride quality and spacious cockpit”. For “lows”: “Back seat is not spacious, contrived touchpad controller, should be quicker.” I agree on the back seat and the controller, but not on the “should be quicker” comment. Overall, Car and Driver stated, “The RC has the superficial traits of a sports car but lacks the athleticism.” I’m not sure what these guys were driving, but, sure if you compare it to the AMG Mercedes line, or the M series BMWs, it’s not going to measure up. But, in reality, there aren’t many roads or circumstances where you can even use the power of this car to its full potential. So, what’s the point of those 500 to 600 horsepower stallions? Anyway, for the record, my test vehicle has a base price of $50,905. With added options and destination charges, the MSRP sticker price comes in at $57,785. The added options included: $2,725 for the Navigation/Mark Levinson Audio package; $1,160 for triple beam LED headlamps; $1,100 for a power moonroof; $500 for intuitive parking assist; $150 for an F Sport heated steering wheel and $220 for an all weather package that includes headlamp washers, windshield wiper de-icer, water repellant front door glass and fast-response interior heating. While the exterior of the RC 350 is certainly an aggressive looking sports coupe, the interior is nicely refined. The ergonomics of the dash and all the controls is expensive looking and sporty at the same time. The front bucket seats are form fitting, firm and comfortable. And, the Mark Levinson sound premium sound system is simply “off the hook”. It outfits this coupe with 17 speakers that are capable of pumping out 835 watts of premium surround sound. I was quite impressed with

this audio system. The only knock is that the touchpad center console controller that links to the 10.3-inch color screen is at times finicky and clumsy to use when trying to control the phone, music selection or navigation. The voice command system, which bypasses the need for the touch pad controller, works fine, though. The EPA Department of Transportation fuel economy ratings for this vehicle are 21 miles per gallon overall – with a 24 mpg rating for highway driving and 18 for city driving. The EPA estimates that the annual fuel cost for operating this coupe to be about $2,300 per year as it uses about 4.8 gallons of gas per every 100 miles. This vehicle has not been rated by the government for its 5-star safety rating test. The RC coupe comes in an all wheel drive and rear wheel drive version. It’s available in a 300 model featuring a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder turbo engine that puts out 241 horsepower. There’s a 350 and 350 F Sport with the 3.5 liter, V6 that I drove. And, finally there is a top of the line F model that features a 5.9 liter, V8 that puts out 472 horsepower. The RC 350 I drove comes with loads of standard equipment, including: 19-inch split, five spoke wheels; F Sport grill; Bluetooth; Apple Car play and Android capability; a rear view camera and loads of the newest safety and technology equipment.

An interview with the Mayor of Princeton

Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert

hen you tell your friends and colleagues that you are retiring one year before you actually leave, that last year at work often can assume a laidback and relaxed quality. At the Jan. 2 Princeton municipal reorganization meeting, Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert announced that she would leave her Princeton mayoral position on Jan. 1, 2021. Mayor Lempert, however, had no intention of fulfilling her last year in office in a non-energetic manner. “This isn’t goodbye yet for me,” she said at the reorganization meeting. “A year is a long time, and I look forward to a supercharged year with this energetic council.” It turns out that 2020, thus far, has been about as laid back – as lying back on a bed of nails. Working seven days per week for the past several months on COVID-19 and social justice issues, Liz has expended energy and faced stress in a way that goes far beyond anyone’s definition of “supercharged.” She may be “exhausted but is still positive and hopeful” about the future of the Princeton community. “We are so lucky – this is just an amazing and inspiring community. The people energize me,” Liz said. She recounted the

ria   

numerous “extraordinary” ways in which Princeton’s residents and its institutions have created and implemented initiatives to help people made very vulnerable by this pandemic, while simultaneously mobilizing to support justice for all and to help eliminate systemic racism. Before COVID, I thought I would interview Liz about her eight years as mayor and four years as township committee member by focusing on what I would consider a key element of her legacy – implementing municipal restructuring through consolidation. On Jan. 1, 2013, she became the first mayor of Princeton, the “new” municipality comprising the former Princeton Borough and former Princeton Township. In her calm, wise and steady manner, she guided the Princeton ship through the choppy and complicated waters of consolidating municipal departments, such as the police department, as well as syncing the numerous zoning ordinances and regulations, particularly the ones dealing with parking. The consolidated municipality, Liz said, exceeded fiscal projections of saving money and operational projections of creating more efficient and effective government. Because

of a consolidated 911 dispatch center serving the community and a single emergency operations center, emergency response operations have significantly improved. In addition, under the leadership of Police Chief Nicholas Sutter, the consolidated department thrived, she said. Then COVID-19 invaded and upended life throughout the world and of course in Princeton. The pandemic wiped out not only recent angst over parking meters and road repairs, but also any discussion of Mayor Lempert’s legacy. In addition to consolidation, Mayor Lempert’s legacy would include bicycle mobility, environmental sustainability, community inclusiveness, and town/ gown relations. Instead of being beaten down by the traumatic circumstances of 2020, Liz has focused her efforts on making sure that Princeton will come out of all this as a stronger and more just community. And in my opinion, her infectious positive attitude and intense caring define her legacy more than any one issue. She ticked off multiple ways in which Princeton residents rallied and collaborated to organize relief efforts. Two excellent examples of superb COVID relief initiatives, she said, are the Princeton Children’s Fund and the Princeton Small Business Resiliency Fund. Princeton Children’s Fund (PCF) preCOVID was organized around the mission of providing access to enrichment for Princeton Public School students whose families are unable to afford the extracurricular opportunities. Post-COVID, PCF is like a Transformers toy: becoming a super hero of COVID relief by creating a COVID relief fund. The Coronavirus Emergency Relief Fund is supported with grants from the Princeton University Relief Fund, the COVID-19 Relief & Recovery Fund of the Princeton Area Community Foundation, and 810 individual donors. The mayor also is optimistic about the business community’s ability to recover from the COVID economic trauma thanks to a brand new business relief fund. To support small businesses in Princeton, Princeton University is making an initial contribution of $250,000 to the Princeton Small Business Resiliency Fund (PSBRF). This new relief program, formally launched on June 25 with the university’s contribution, was devised through the leadership of Lempert and Council Member Michelle Pirone Lambros in coordination with the Princeton Mercer Regional Chamber of Commerce

Foundation. The university’s initial contribution to PSBRF of $250,000 will be augmented by its dollar-for-dollar match of the next $100,000 in additional contributions to the fund. Individuals interested in supporting local businesses in Princeton may contribute to PSBRF by mailing a contribution to the fund: c/o Princeton Mercer Chamber of Commerce Foundation, 600 Alexander Road, Suite 3-2, Princeton 08540. The community has been equally impressive, Liz said, in its response to the issues of racism and social justice. Princeton’s nonprofit organizations (religious and secular), political groups, for-profit corporations, government entities, and concerned but unaffiliated citizens cooperated to produce a powerful and unified response to the social justice and economic justice and racial issues. She noted the particularly inspiring event of the Princeton police and a group of Princeton’s Black mothers coming together on a recent Sunday to meditate and pray to put an end to racial injustices. And just this past weekend, Liz said she was really heartened by Princeton University erasing the name of Woodrow Wilson from its internationally renowned public policy and public affairs school. University trustees concluded that President Wilson’s “racist thinking and policies make him an inappropriate namesake for a school or college. … Princeton is part of an America that has too often disregarded, ignored or excused racism, allowing the persistence of systems that discriminate against Black people,” in the words of Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber. Because of the intensity of the present, Mayor Lempert hasn’t given much thought or energy to her professional future. “I want to keep doing what I can do to mitigate the impacts of COVID, to have the town be an effective leader on the racial and social injustice arena,” and to take care of family issues, including honoring her father who died in March but has not yet had a memorial service. “I care about a lot of issues such as sustainability, climate change and the whole spectrum of equity issues, but I mostly just care about Princeton and want to do what I can do to keep it moving forward in a positive fashion.” Liz noted that I sounded like her 89-year-old mother when I asked what she wants to do when she leaves office. I now conclude that the only answer I want to hear is that she chooses not to leave Princeton.

More racist grafﬁti discovered in Princeton By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

For the second time in less than a week, racially motivated hate speech has been discovered on a bridge and the Princeton Police Department is investigating it as a bias intimidation and criminal mischief incident. The spray-painted message targeting African Americans was found June 29 on the concrete foundation of the NJ Transit railroad bridge alongside the D&R Canal State Park towpath, police said. NJ Transit was notified and made arrangements to remove the graffiti.

The incident drew swift condemnation from Princeton Councilwoman Leticia Fraga, who is the Princeton Council’s liaison to the town’s Civil Rights Commission and the Human Services Commission. She is also the police commissioner. Four days earlier on June 25, racially motivated graffiti with derogatory messages toward African Americans was discovered on the underside of a bridge on Poe Road, off Princeton-Kingston Road. The two bridges – on Poe Road and the D&R Canal State Park – are on opposite sides of Princeton. The latest incident is under investigation by the Princeton Police Department,

Vaseful in Princeton celebrates ﬁrst anniversary of providing employment for people with disabilities Vaseful Flower and Gifts in Princeton recently celebrated its one year anniversary. Vaseful is a nonprofit flower store operated by Community Options Enterprises that provides employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Vaseful employees with and without disabilities work side by side to learn valuable retail, floral arrangement and customer service skills, according to Community Options. “The Vaseful in Princeton has been such a wonderful innovative addition to Community Options and the 12 individuals that have been employed by it,” said Geraldina Casalaspro, managing director of Community Options Enterprises. The Vaseful staff typically work threehour shifts and rotate responsibilities, ranging from customer service at the front desk to delivering flowers in the community. Many of the skills they acquire are used to help them pursue competitive employment opportunities in other fields. Vaseful was opened through a generous

contribution from Community Options Enterprises Chair Philip Lian and his wife Joan Mueller. In 2019, the store opened with a ribbon cutting celebration attended by New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney and Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert. “We are grateful to be celebrating Vaseful’s one year anniversary in Princeton,” Mayor Liz Lempert said. “This flower shop helps to provide opportunity for meaningful work and helps create a true sense of community.” This is the second Vaseful operated by Community Options Enterprises. Since first opening in New Brunswick in 1999, Vaseful has been offering high quality floral services and delivery through a nationwide network, according to Community Options. The original location has since moved to Edison and is a self-sustaining social enterprise. Both Vaseful stores service weddings and other special occasions throughout the year.

the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office and the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness unit. It was also reported to the New Jersey State Police. Fraga shared her dismay and disappointment over the incident at the Princeton Council’s June 29 meeting. “It is disgusting that someone would commit a hateful, racist act like this. There is no place in our community for this behavior and mindset,” Fraga said. “This makes not one, but multiple racist threats that have been directed at members of our community. An attack on some members of our community is an attack on all of us. We do not – and will not – toler-

ate racism in any form,” she said. Fraga said it was “despicable” that anyone would use such language or think that it is permissible to do so. It amounts to hate and intimidation, and “it does not conform to our principles of community,” she said. The councilwoman made it clear that “our community stands with all who are targeted by hate speech and racist acts. We will not tolerate that type of behavior.” The Princeton Police Department has launched an investigation into the incident. Anyone with information about the graffiti should call the Princeton Police Department at 609-921-2100.

Provide housing opportunities for very low-, low-, and moderate-income families in order to meet the existing and anticipated housing needs of such persons, maintain a socio-economic mix in the community, provide a range of housing types dispersed throughout the community in a suitable living environment, and satisfy the community’s obligation to provide a fair share of the region’s housing needs; b. Assure that the very low-, low-, and moderate-income units constructed under this program continue to remain available to very low-, low-, and moderate-income households through controls on rental and resale prices to be exercised by the Affordable Housing Board under the guidance of the Municipality’s housing manager; c. Provide for housing opportunities for those who work in Princeton and provide the community with essential services, but who cannot currently afford to live in the community; and d. Provide that developments that create affordable housing demand within Princeton share in the burden of providing such affordable housing, including commercial and institutional developments.

By July 1, 2020, as required pursuant to N.J.S.A. 52:27D-313, the Municipality will post on its municipal website, with a copy provided to FSHC, a status report as to its implementation of its Plan and an analysis of whether any unbuilt sites or unfulfilled mechanisms continue to present a realistic opportunity and whether any mechanisms to meet unmet need should be revised or supplemented. 4. By May 22, 2021, and every third year thereafter, as required by N.J.S.A. 52:27D-329.1, the Municipality will post on its municipal website, with a copy provided to FSHC, a status report as to its satisfaction of its very low income requirements, including its family very low income requirements.

(Ord. No. 90-33, §I.)

A studio shall be affordable to a one-person household;

iii. A two-bedroom unit shall be affordable to a two-person household or to two one-person households. g. The initial purchase price for all restricted ownership units shall be calculated so that the monthly carrying cost of the unit, including principal and interest (based on a mortgage loan equal to 95 percent of the purchase price and the Federal Reserve H.15 rate of interest), taxes, homeowner and private mortgage insurance and condominium or homeowner association fees do not exceed 28 percent of the eligible monthly income of the appropriate size household as determined under N.J.A.C. 5:80-26.4, as may be amended and supplemented; provided, however, that the price shall be subject to the affordability average requirement of N.J.A.C. 5:80-26.3, as may be amended and supplemented. h.

5. No subdivision shall be permitted or approved for the purpose of avoiding compliance with this requirement. A developer may not, for example, subdivide a project into two lots and then plan each of them to produce a number of units just below the threshold. 6. This requirement shall not give any developer the right to any such rezoning, variance, redevelopment designation or redevelopment or rehabilitation plan approval, or any other such relief, or establish any obligation on the part of the Municipality to grant such rezoning, variance, redevelopment designation, redevelopment or rehabilitation plan approval, or other such or further relief.

Regional income units shall be established for the region that Princeton is located within (i.e. Region 4) based on the median income by household size, which shall be established by a regional weighted average of the uncapped Section 8 income limits published by HUD. To compute this regional income limit, the HUD determination of median county income for a family of four is multiplied by the estimated households within the county according to the most recent decennial Census. The resulting product for each county within the housing region is summed. The sum is divided by the estimated total households from the most recent decennial Census in Princeton’s housing region. This quotient represents the regional weighted average of median income for a household of four. The income limit for a moderate-income unit for a household of four shall be 80% of the regional weighted average median income for a family of four. The income limit for a low-income unit for a household of four shall be 50% of the HUD determination of the regional weighted average median income for a family of four. The income limit for a very low-income unit for a household of four shall be 30% of the regional weighted average median income for a family of four. These income limits shall be adjusted by household size based on multipliers used by HUD to adjust median income by household size. In no event shall the income limits be less than those for the previous year.

ii. The Regional Asset Limit used in determining an applicant’s eligibility for affordable housing pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:80-26.16(b)3 shall be calculated by Princeton annually by taking the percentage increase of the income limits calculated pursuant to paragraph (i) above over the previous year’s income limits, and applying the same percentage increase to the Regional Asset Limit from the prior year. In no event shall the Regional Asset Limit be less than that for the previous year.

Section 10B-352 Affordable Housing Utility

Section 10B-356 Enforcement of Affordable Housing Regulations

1. Pursuant to the “Local Budget Law”, N.J.S.A. 40A:4-1 et seq., an affordable housing utility is established in the Municipality of Princeton and the same shall be known and cited as the “Princeton Affordable Housing Utility”.

1. Upon the occurrence of a breach of any of the regulations governing an affordable unit by an owner, developer or tenant, the Municipality shall have all remedies provided at law or equity, including but not limited to foreclosure, tenant eviction, a requirement for household recertiﬁcation, acceleration of all sums due under a mortgage, recuperation of any funds from a sale in violation of the regulations, injunctive relief to prevent further violation of the regulations, entry on the premises, and speciﬁc performance.

2. The affordable housing utility shall commence as of August 3, 1989 and the same shall be retroactive to that date. 3. The affordable housing utility budget shall set forth the appropriations in the form and detail prescribed by the regulations of the local governing body and may include: a. Operations; b. Interest and debt retirement, and c. Deferred charges and statutory expenditures 4. The municipal ofﬁcers and employees are directed and empowered to adopt accounting procedures consistent with this article and the aforesaid statutes in the creation of the affordable housing utility. 5. The affordable housing utility shall be governed by the governing body of the Municipality of

i. The judgment shall be enforceable, at the option of the municipality, by means of an execution sale by the sheriff, at which time the low- and moderate-income unit of the violating owner shall be sold at a sale price which is not less than the amount necessary to fully satisfy and pay off any first purchase money mortgage and prior liens and the costs of the enforcement proceedings incurred by the municipality, including attorney’s fees. The violating owner shall have his right to possession terminated as well as his title conveyed pursuant to the sheriff’s sale. ii. The proceeds of the sheriff’s sale shall first be applied to satisfy the first purchase money mortgage lien and any prior liens upon the low- and moderate-income unit. The excess, if any, shall be applied to reimburse the municipality for any and all costs and expenses incurred in connection with either the Court action resulting in the judgment of violation or the sheriff’s sale. In the event that the proceeds from the sheriff’s sale are insufficient to reimburse the Municipality in full as aforesaid, the violating owner shall be personally responsible for the full extent of such deficiency, in addition to any and all costs incurred by the municipality in connection with collecting such deficiency. In the event that a surplus remains after satisfying all of the above, such surplus, if any, shall be placed in escrow by the municipality for the owner and shall be held in such escrow for a maximum period of two years or until such earlier time as the owner shall make a claim with the municipality for such. Failure of the owner to claim such balance within the two-year period shall automatically result in a forfeiture of such balance to the municipality. Any interest accrued or earned on such balance while being held in escrow shall belong to and shall be paid to the Municipality, whether such balance shall be paid to the owner or forfeited to the municipality. iii. Foreclosure by the municipality due to violation of the regulations governing affordable housing units shall not extinguish the restrictions of the regulations governing affordable housing units as the same apply to the low- and moderate-income unit. Title shall be conveyed to the purchaser at the sheriff’s sale, subject to the restrictions and provisions of the regulations governing the affordable housing unit. The owner determined to be in violation of the provisions of this plan and from whom title and possession were taken by means of the sheriff’s sale shall not be entitled to any right of redemption. iv. If there are no bidders at the sheriff’s sale, or if insufficient amounts are bid to satisfy the first purchase money mortgage and any prior liens, the municipality may acquire title to the low- and moderate-income unit by satisfying the first purchase money mortgage and any prior liens and crediting the violating owner with an amount equal to the difference between the first purchase money mortgage and any prior liens and costs of the enforcement proceedings, including legal fees and the maximum resale price for which the low- and moderate-income unit could have been sold under the terms of the regulations governing affordable housing units. This excess shall be treated in the same manner as the excess which would have been realized from an actual sale as previously described. v. Failure of the low- and moderate-income unit to be either sold at the sheriff’s sale or acquired by the Municipality shall obligate the owner to accept an offer to purchase from any qualified purchaser which may be referred to the owner by the Municipality, with such offer to purchase being equal to the maximum resale price of the low- and moderate-income unit as permitted by the regulations governing affordable housing units. vi. The owner shall remain fully obligated, responsible and liable for complying with the terms and restrictions of governing affordable housing units until such time as title is conveyed from the owner. Section 10B-357 Appeals Appeals from all decisions of an Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Ordinance shall be filed in writing as an action in lieu of prerogative writ in the Superior Court, Law Division in the County with jurisdiction over the Municipality’s affordable housing proceedings, or in such other manner as the Superior Court may direct. Division 6. Development Fees Section 10B-358 Purpose 1. In Holmdel Builder’s Association v. Holmdel Township, 121 N.J. 550 (1990), the New Jersey Supreme Court determined that mandatory development fees are authorized by the Fair Housing Act of 1985 (the Act), N.J.S.A. 52:27D-301 et seq., and the State Constitution, subject to COAH’s adoption of rules. 2. COAH was authorized by P.L. 2008, c. 46, Section 8 (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-329.2), and the Statewide Nonresidential Development Fee Act (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-8.1 through 40:55D-8.7) to adopt and promulgate regulations necessary for the establishment, implementation, review, monitoring and enforcement of municipal affordable housing trust funds and corresponding spending plans. Municipalities that are under the jurisdiction of COAH or a court of competent jurisdiction and have a COAH- or court-approved spending plan may retain fees collected from nonresidential development. 3. In Re: Adoption of N.J.A.C. 5:96 and 5:97 by the New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing, 221 N.J. 1 (2015), also known as the “Mount Laurel IV” decision, the Supreme Court remanded COAH’s duties to the Superior Court. As a result, affordable housing development fee collections and expenditures from the municipal affordable housing trust funds to implement municipal Third Round Fair Share Plans through July 7, 2025 are under the Court’s jurisdiction and are subject to approval by the Court. 4. This section establishes standards for the collection, maintenance, and expenditure of development fees pursuant to COAH’s regulations and in accordance with P.L. 2008, c. 46, Sections 8 and 32 through 38. Fees collected pursuant to this section shall be used for the sole purpose of providing low- and moderate-income housing. This chapter shall be interpreted within the framework of COAH’s rules on development fees, codified at N.J.A.C. 5:93-8. Section 10B-359 Basic Requirements

2. At such time that the Court approves the Municipality’s Third Round Housing Plan Element and Fair Share Plan and the Third Round Spending Plan, Princeton may begin spending development fees in conformance with N.J.A.C. 5:93-8 for the new 2020 Plan activities.

f. Creating and publishing a written operating manual for each affordable housing program administered by the Administrative Agent, to be approved by the Governing Body and the Court, setting forth procedures for administering the affordability controls.

All members of the Affordable Housing Board shall be residents of Princeton during their tenure on said Affordable Housing Board unless the enabling legislation or ordinance creating said Affordable Housing Board permits non-residents to serve.

b. The municipality may ﬁle a court action in the Superior Court seeking a judgment that would result in the termination of the owner’s equity or other interest in the unit, in the nature of a mortgage foreclosure. Any such judgment shall be enforceable as if the same were a judgment of default of the ﬁrst purchase money mortgage and shall constitute a lien against the low- or moderate-income unit.

b. Instituting and maintaining an effective means of communicating information to low- (or very low-) and moderate-income households regarding the availability of restricted units for resale or re-rental.

1. Purpose. The purpose of this subsection is to create an advisory board, the Affordable Housing Board of the Municipality of Princeton, to monitor the compliance of the municipality in providing housing for very low-, low-, and moderate-income families under its Mount Laurel obligation.

iii. In the case of an owner who has rented a low- or moderate-income unit in violation of the regulations governing affordable housing units, payment of an innocent tenant’s reasonable relocation costs, as determined by the Court.

1. COAH had previously approved ordinances which established both the former Township’s and former Borough’s affordable housing trust funds. The Municipality’s development fee ordinance, which has been further amended, remains effective pursuant to the Superior Court’s jurisdiction in accordance with N.J.A.C. 5:93.8.

e. Establishing a program for diverting unlawful rent payments to the municipality’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund; and

a. The Affordable Housing Board (hereinafter referred to as “Board”) shall consist of seven voting members, and two alternate members, all of whom shall be appointed by the Mayor with the advice and consent of council, providing, however, that:

ii. In the case of an owner who has rented a low- or moderate-income unit in violation of the regulations governing affordable housing units, payment into the Municipality’s affordable housing trust fund of the gross amount of rent illegally collected;

Section 10B-351 Affordable Housing Board

2. Membership; Terms of Ofﬁce.

i. A ﬁne of not more than $500.00 per day or imprisonment for a period not to exceed 90 days, or both, provided that each and every day that the violation continues or exists shall be considered a separate and speciﬁc violation of these provisions and not a continuation of the initial offense;

2. After providing written notice of a violation to an owner, developer or tenant of a low- or moderate-income unit and advising the owner, developer or tenant of the penalties for such violations, the Municipality may take the following action(s) against the owner, developer or tenant for any violation that remains uncured for a period of 60 days after service of the written notice: a. The Municipality may ﬁle a court action pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2A:58-11 alleging a violation or violations of the regulations governing the affordable housing unit. If the owner, developer or tenant is adjudged by the Court to have violated any provision of the regulations governing affordable housing units the owner, developer or tenant shall be subject to one or more of the following penalties, at the discretion of the Court:

Section 10B-360 Residential Development Fees 1. Imposed fees. a. Within all Zoning Districts, residential developers, except for developers of the types of development specifically exempted below, shall pay a fee of 1.5% of the equalized assessed value for residential development, provided no increased density is permitted. b. When an increase in residential density pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d(5) (known as a density variance) has been permitted, developers may be required to pay a development fee of 6% of the equalized assessed value for each additional unit that may be realized. However, if the zoning on a site has changed during the two-year period preceding the filing of such a variance application, the base density for the purposes of calculating the bonus development fee shall be the highest density permitted by right during the two-year period preceding the filing of the variance application. Example: If an approval allows four units to be constructed on a site that was zoned for two units, the fees could equal 1.5% of the equalized assessed value on the first two units; and the specified higher percentage up to six percent of the equalized assessed value for the two additional units, provided zoning on the site has not changed during the two-year period preceding the filing of such a variance application. 2. Eligible exactions, ineligible exactions and exemptions for residential development. a. Affordable housing developments, developments where the developer is providing for the construction of affordable units elsewhere in the Municipality, and developments where the developer has made a payment in lieu of on-site construction of affordable units for a fractional of an affordable housing unit less than 0.5 shall be exempt from development fees. b. Developments that have received preliminary or final site plan approval prior to the adoption of a municipal development fee ordinance shall be exempt from development fees, unless the developer seeks a substantial change in the approval. Where a site plan approval does not apply, a zoning and/or building permit shall be synonymous with preliminary or final site plan approval for this purpose. The fee percentage shall be vested on the date that the building permit is issued. c. Owner-occupied residential buildings demolished as a result of a fire, flood, or natural disaster and replaced with a substantially similar residence shall be exempt from paying a development fee. If the new owner-occupied residential building is not substantially similar to the prior, demolished building, then the owner shall pay a development fee based on the net increase in equalized assessed value. d. Residential development of student housing, as defined in Article I, Section 10B-2, shall be exempt from paying development fees. Examples of this type of construction would be dormitories and other types of student housing. e. In addition to the construction of new principal and/or accessory buildings, development fees shall be imposed and collected for the construction of additions or expansions to existing buildings, and/or for the change or conversion of an existing building to accommodate a more intense use, and/or for the demolition and replacement of an existing building except as a result of a natural disaster as covered under subsection c., above, provided that the development fee shall be calculated on the increase in the equalized assessed value of the improved building. Section 10B-361 Nonresidential Development Fees 1. Imposed fees. a. Within all zoning districts, nonresidential developers, except for developers of the types of development specifically exempted, shall pay a fee equal to 2.5% of the equalized assessed value of the land and improvements for all new nonresidential construction on an unimproved lot or lots. b. Nonresidential developers, except for developers of the types of development specifically exempted, shall also pay a fee equal to 2.5% of the increase in equalized assessed value resulting from any additions to existing buildings to be used for nonresidential purposes. c. Development fees shall be imposed and collected when an existing building is demolished and replaced. The development fee of 2.5% shall be calculated on the difference between the equalized assessed value of the preexisting land and improvement and the equalized assessed value of the newly improved building, i.e., land and improvement, at the time final certificate of occupancy is issued. If the calculation required under this section results in a negative number, the nonresidential development fee shall be zero.

2. Eligible exactions, ineligible exactions and exemptions for nonresidential development. a. The nonresidential portion of a mixed-use inclusionary or market rate development shall be subject to the two-and-one-half-percent (2.5%) development fee, unless otherwise exempted below. b. The two-and-one-half-percent (2.5%) fee shall not apply to an increase in equalized assessed value resulting from alterations, change in use within existing footprint, reconstruction, renovations and repairs. c. Nonresidential developments shall be exempt from the payment of nonresidential development fees in accordance with the exemptions required pursuant to P.L. 2008, c. 46, as specified in the Form N-RDF, “State of New Jersey Nonresidential Development Certification/Exemption” form. Any exemption claimed by a developer shall be substantiated by that developer. d. A developer of a nonresidential development exempted from the nonresidential development fee pursuant to P.L. 2008, c. 46, shall be subject to it at such time the basis for the exemption no longer applies and shall make the payment of the nonresidential development fee, in that event, within three years after that event or after the issuance of the final certificate of occupancy of the nonresidential development, whichever is later. e. If a property which was exempted from the collection of a nonresidential development fee thereafter ceases to be exempt from property taxation, the owner of the property shall remit the fees required pursuant to this section within 45 days of the termination of the property tax exemption. Unpaid nonresidential development fees under these circumstances may be enforceable by the Municipality as a lien against the real property of the owner. Section 10B-362 Collection Procedures 1. Upon the granting of a preliminary, final or other applicable approval for a development, the applicable approving authority shall direct its staff to notify the construction official responsible for the issuance of a building permit. 2. For nonresidential developments only, the developer shall also be provided with a copy of Form N-RDF, “State of New Jersey Nonresidential Development Certification/ Exemption,” to be completed as per the instructions provided. The developer of a nonresidential development shall complete Form N-RDF as per the instructions provided. The construction official shall verify the information submitted by the nonresidential developer as per the instructions provided in the Form N-RDF. The Tax Assessor shall verify exemptions and prepare estimated and final assessments as per the instructions provided in Form N-RDF. 3. The Construction Official responsible for the issuance of a building permit shall notify the local tax assessor of the issuance of the first building permit for a development which is subject to a development fee. 4. Within 90 days of receipt of that notice, the tax assessor, based on the plans filed, shall provide an estimate of the equalized assessed value of the development. 5. The construction official responsible for the issuance of a final certificate of occupancy shall notify the tax assessor of any and all requests for the scheduling of a final inspection on property which is subject to a development fee. 6. Within 10 business days of a request for the scheduling of a final inspection, the tax assessor shall confirm or modify the previously estimated equalized assessed value of the improvements of the development; calculate the development fee; and thereafter notify the developer of the amount of the fee.

The ordinance also eliminates any homeowner occupancy requirement.

. Where did you grow up? A. I grew up in Rockaway NJ in a lake community called White Meadow Lake which is in Morris County. After high school, I attended Ramapo College of New Jersey in Bergen County to obtain my Bachelor Degree in Business. I purchased by first condo in Middlesex County and now I live and raise my family in Hillsborough in Somerset County. I love Hillsborough and it’s central location to everything. I’m a life-long Jersey Girl at heart and understand the demographics and housing market in different communities.

. What do you see in the future for Real Estate sales and prices? A. In my 25 years of selling real estate, I have seen markets swing in varying degrees. I have sold in buyers’ markets and sold in sellers’ markets. Although it is very hard to predict the future, the real estate market has been very strong the last couple of years. Interest rates are at an alltime low so many first-time homebuyers are trying to get into the market. I also see an increase in the number of investors looking to enter the market.

. What do you enjoy doing when you are not working? A. In addition to being with my family, I like to stay active by working out, biking and walking. I also recently completed my first Rugged Maniac race. For the past 10

years, I was a volunteer for the Fresh Air Fund where I was the chairperson for all of Somerset and Hunterdon County. I was responsible for recruiting families to host inner-city children for summer vacations. We were also a host family and enjoyed having kids at our house all summer.

. What are the top 3 things that separate you from your competition? A. First, I take a very honest and comprehensive look at my client’s situation, family, financial goals, and the marketplace. Next, I build a relationship with my client and embrace their goals as my own. Finally, I accept a high level of responsibility for my clients’ satisfaction and achievement of these goals.

. How long have you worked in real estate? A. I started in the mortgage business after college and decided to transition to real estate in 1992. I worked as a sales associate with the Top Producing Agent at Prudential NJ Properties. We were the #1 Award Winning Sales Team in the entire company. I switched to Keller Williams Realty in 2013 and have been a Top Producing Agent as well as the Director of Agent Services. I was also involved in the New Agent Mentoring and Training Program.

. What is your specialty? A. I love working with first time homebuyers. There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone purchase their first home. I also work with investors. I have invested in many properties 2230 Route 206, myself, I’m currently a landlord and I have successfully Belle Mead, NJ 08502 flipped homes. This gives me the experience and 908-359-0893 insight into these markets. In addition, I also sell in a lot in adult communities since many of my clients are downsizing.
