THE OCEAN CITY
UTILITY ADVISORY
COMMISSION
OCEAN CITY, NEW JERSEY
Updated: September 1, 2022
FAQ’S ABOUT YOUR WATER & WASTEWATER SERVICES
Starting on January 1, 2021, each customer began seeing a separate line item for the Wastewater Service Charge
and the Purchased Wastewater Treatment Adjustment Clause surcharge (“PSTAC charge”) labeled as “Purchased
Wastewater Surcharge”. The Wastewater Service Charge covers NJAWC’s expenses to collect wastewater,
maintain the collection system, pay local, state and federal taxes, and invest in the aging infrastructure of the
wastewater collection system. The PSTAC charge represents the costs the Company pays to the CMCMUA to treat
and dispose of the sewage generated within Ocean City. Like the PWAC, the PSTAC charge is a pass-through of
actual costs. Prior to January 1, 2021, the Wastewater Service Charge and PSTAC charge were combined as
the Wastewater Service Charge line item on a customer’s bill. The Purchased Wastewater surcharge line
item is not a new charge. Please see the FAQ’s below for more information.
I have a problem or question about my water or wastewater services, whom should I
call?
New Jersey-American Water Company (“NJAWC” or the “Company”) works diligently to provide accurate monthly
billings for their services. If you have questions related to either your water or wastewater services, please contact
NJAWC’s Customer Service Center directly @ 1-(800)-272-1325 during the operating hours of 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM.
I called New Jersey American Water Company about my water and wastewater service,
and they told me to call the City. Why?
We have worked diligently with the management of NJAWC on this issue, and they have informed us that they have
instructed their Customer Service Center (CSC) representatives to answer questions from Ocean City customers
and not to refer them back to the City itself. If a customer service representative mistakenly tells you to call the City
about your concern, please simply ask them if you may speak with a supervisor.
How is my water rate determined?
The cost of delivering high-quality, reliable water service that meets or surpasses local, state and federal laws and
regulations depends on two key factors, Capital Investments (Infrastructure) and Operation and Maintenance
(O&M) Expenses.
The calculation of the water rate uses these factors to determine the cost the Company can charge its customers.
The rates charged by the Company go through an extensive review process and are approved by the New Jersey
Board of Public Utilities (BPU). Before the Company can change its rates, public hearings are held at which time
the public and City representatives are afforded an opportunity to speak on the proposed changes in rates or
services.
Additional information can be found on the NJBPU website @ https://www.nj.gov/bpu/.
Key Factor Terms:
Capital Investments - New and replacement infrastructure investments in the water supply system.
Operation and Maintenance - Expenses associated with operating and maintaining the water supply
system.
o
Power Costs to pump the water from its source in the ground to the homes and businesses within
the NJAWC service area or community.
o
Staffing costs, including compensation and benefits, for its service technicians, water quality
specialists, meter readers, administrative personnel and others who help run the water utility on a
day-to-day basis.
What are the main components of my water bill?
Fixed Service Charge: The fixed service rate is based on the size of the meter that was installed at the service
address. For residential customers who have a 5/8” meter, the fixed service charge is $19.85 per month.
Water Charge: The water charge is based on the water consumed (used) in between meter readings. The rate
per 100 gallons is $0.77752 for all water used.
Purchased Water Adjustment Clause (PWAC) Surcharge: The current PWAC rate is $0.04606 per 100
gallons. NJAWC purchases water from a number of water purveyors to supplement its own surface water and
groundwater supplies. These supplies are critical to providing a reliable source of water supply for the
Company’s customers. The PWAC surcharge is a pass-through surcharge, which enables NJAWC to recover
its cost of purchasing water from other water purveyors. The PWAC rate changes on an annual basis (generally
in April). Since NJAWC is a regulated water utility, they are required to file for permission from the BPU each
time they wish to change the PWAC rate to recover costs associated with the purchased water supply.
Subsequently, the BPU performs a thorough review of the request/petition and after required public hearings
can either deny, modify or approve the fee increase/decrease.
Why does NJAWC charge for wastewater service in Ocean City?
NJAWC owns and maintains the wastewater collection system, pipelines and pump stations that are utilized to
collect wastewater from homes and businesses in Ocean City. The wastewater collected is then transferred to the
Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority (CMCMUA) Sewage Treatment Facility located at 45th Street & West
Avenue in Ocean City. The CMCMUA owns and maintains the treatment plant, pumps and pipes necessary to treat
and dispose of the collected and treated sewage. Instead of customers receiving a separate bill from the CMCMUA
for the cost of treating the sewage, NJAWC bills the customers on its monthly invoice for the sewage sent to
CMCMUA. Each municipality that sends wastewater to the CMCMUA plant is required to pay for the volume they
send to be processed. All the wastewater collected from Ocean City is sent to be processed at the CMCMUA facility.
Thus, all Ocean City customers bear a portion of the cost to operate the CMCMUA facility and to process the
sewage on an annual basis.
Starting on January 1, 2021, each customer will see a separate line item for the Wastewater Service Charge and
the Purchased Wastewater Treatment Adjustment Clause surcharge (“PSTAC charge”) labeled as “Purchased
Wastewater Surcharge”. The Wastewater Service Charge covers NJAWC’s expenses to collect wastewater,
maintain the collection system, pay local, state and federal taxes, and invest in the aging infrastructure of the
wastewater collection system. The PSTAC charge represents the costs the Company pays to the CMCMUA to treat
and dispose of the sewage generated within Ocean City. Like the PWAC, the PSTAC charge is a pass-through of
actual costs.
What are the current Wastewater rates in Ocean City?
Wastewater Service Charge: The Wastewater Service Charge for a customer is determined every January 1
for the year based on the water usage for the prior July, August & September meter readings ("Summer Quarter
Consumption") but in no event will a customer be billed for less than 7,480 gallons per year for wastewater
service. The current service charge is $1.35 per 100 gallons of water usage billed at the property during the
prior year’s summer quarter (July, August & September), but not less than 7,480 gallons, or $100.98 per
year. This charge is then divided by 12 and is billed equally over the period of January through December
each calendar year.
Sewer Usage Charge: In addition to the above monthly Wastewater Service Charge there is a volumetric
charge of $0.23250 per 100 gallons based on the water consumed for the current month based on the meter
readings.
Purchased Wastewater Treatment Adjustment Clause (PSTAC) Surcharge: Like the PWAC, the PSTAC
charge is a pass-through charge based on actual wastewater treatment costs. The PSTAC charge reflects
the costs that NJAWC pays to the CMCMUA for treating and disposing of wastewater collected in Ocean City.
Each year, the PSTAC charge changes (generally in April) and may increase or decrease depending on the
amount of wastewater NJAWC sends to the treatment plant and the CMCMUA’s costs associated with treatment
and disposal. The current PSTAC charge is $3.26814 per 100 gallons of water used at the property during the
prior year’s summer quarter (July, August & September), but not less than 7,480 gallons, or $244.46 per
year. This PSTAC charge is then divided by 12 and billed monthly from January through December each
calendar year.
What is the purpose of the Purchased Wastewater Treatment Adjustment Clause
(PSTAC) Surcharge?
As mentioned above the PSTAC surcharge is a pass-through charge which enables the Company to recover the
expense it pays to the CMCMUA for the treatment and disposal of the wastewater. Each year the PSTAC charge
is reset in January and may increase or decrease depending on your prior year summer quarter consumption.
The total PSTAC charge is shown as a separate line item on your bill.
Why was the bill redesigned for the wastewater line items?
Understanding the calculation of the Ocean City wastewater rate has been a challenge for both the Company and
our customers. Because this is a pass-through charge, displaying the PSTAC as a separate line item in the Other
section on the customer’s bill allows customers to understand how much of their wastewater bill is for the pass-
through PSTAC charge, and be aware of their summer quarter consumption usage.
Why is this year’s Wastewater Service Charge and PSTAC charge based on last year’s
summer quarter (July, August & September) usage?
The CMCMUA built the 45th Street Wastewater Treatment Facility in the mid 1970's to handle the tremendous peak
flows Ocean City generates during the summer months and to handle the future growth and development of the
community. The CMCMUA develops its annual user charge based on the previous year’s sewage flows to the
wastewater treatment facility during the summer quarter (July, August & September). Thus, NJAWC calculates the
passed-through PSTAC charge on the same basis. NJAWC also utilizes the same methodology to calculate its
Wastewater Service Charge, billing customers in the current year based on the prior year’s summer consumption.
In both cases, the use of the prior year’s usage allows these charges to be billed equally over a 12-month period.
Why am I being billed for wastewater services when I am not there or utilizing the
property?
Wastewater services are billed to all customers regardless of the volume of water utilized that month. You may only
be a seasonal resident and do not utilize the water service or experience any water volume use during certain
months of the year, but you are still responsible for the wastewater services monthly. The annual Wastewater
Service Charge and PSTAC charge are based on the water usage billed during the prior summer quarter
(July, August and September) and covers the costs associated in providing reliable wastewater service to the
community.
NJAWC is sensitive to the impact on its customers if the full amount of wastewater service used was due only once
a year. The Company realizes that such a charge could be burdensome to some customers. Thus, in the mid
1970's, both the City and the Company agreed on a equitable billing plan that would permit the payments to be
spread out equally over a 12-month period, so that customers are billed 1/12th of this charge each month throughout
the calendar year.
For the average property owner, it is more advantageous to have the payments spread out equally. This affords the
customer an opportunity to budget the cost over the entire calendar year. In a way, it is a type of budget billing plan,
similar to what is currently offered by other public utilities for the services that they provide. The difference is that
the entire Ocean City customer base is on the budget plan, which was negotiated on your behalf by City
representatives at the time the new processing plant was built in the mid 1970's.
It is imperative that customers remain conscious of their intended water use during the summer quarter (July,
August and September). Overly high water usage during this time period will dramatically affect your wastewater
service bills in the coming calendar year.
THE SEWER SERVICE CHARGE CALCULATIONS
1. To calculate your sewer service charge, add up your total water usage recorded during the prior summer quarter
(July, August & September). If that total is less than 7,480 gallons, then the minimum service charge of
$100.98 per year or $8.42 per month and the PSTAC charge of $244.46 per year or $20.37 per month will
be billed to your account for the monthly bill of $28.79 for the Service Charge and PSTAC charge.
2. If your total water usage recorded during the prior summer quarter (July, August & September) is greater
than 7,480 gallons, then you must multiply the total water used by the rate of $1.35 (service) and $3.26814
(PSTAC charge) per 100 gallons.
3. Divide the amount determined in (2) above by 12 for your monthly sewer service charge.
Sample of the Ocean City Sewer Charge Calculations
July
90 (CGL)
August 80 (CGL)
+ September 70
(CGL)
240 (CGL for the summer quarter)
Service Charge - 240 x $1.35 (rate per 100 gallons) = $324.00 annual or $324.00 / 12 months = $27.00
per month
PSTAC Charge - 240 x $3.26814 (rate per 100 gallons) = $784.35 annual or $784.35 / 12 months = $65.36
per month
In addition to the monthly Service Charge and PSTAC charge, above of $92.36 ($27.00 + $65.36, respectively),
the customer will be billed the actual volume charge on the current month’s water usage at $0.23250 per 100
gallons. Therefore, if the customer’s water usage for the current month is 5,520 gallons, then the customer will
be billed $12.83 (55.2 x $0.23250), in addition to the $92.36 in the above sample for a total monthly sewer bill
of $105.19.

DEVELOPMENT FEE ORDINANCE OF CITY OF OCEAN CITY
Purpose.
a. 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 the Council on Affordable Housing's (COAH's)
adoption of rules.
b. Pursuant to P.L.2008, c.46 section 8 (C. 52:27D-329.2) and the Statewide Non-
Residential Development Fee Act (C. 40:55D-8.1 through 8.7), COAH is authorized
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 the
Council or court of competent jurisdiction and have a COAH-approved spending plan
may retain fees collected from non-residential development.
c. This ordinance establishes standards for the collection, maintenance, and expenditure
of development fees pursuant to COAH's regulations and in accordance P.L.2008,
c.46, Sections 8 and 32-38. Fees collected pursuant to this ordinance shall be used for
the sole purpose of providing low- and moderate-income housing. This ordinance
shall be interpreted within the framework of COAH's rules on development fees,
codified at N.J.A.C. 5:97-8.
25-1900.3
Basic Requirements.
a. This ordinance shall not be effective until approved by the Court.
b. The City of Ocean City shall not spend development fees until the Court has

25-1900.4
Definitions.
The following terms, as used in this ordinance, shall have the following meanings:
1
Affordable Housing Development means a development included in the Housing Element
and Fair Share Plan, and includes, but is not limited to, an inclusionary development, a
municipal construction project or a 100 percent affordable development.
COAH or the Council means the New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing established
under the Act which has primary jurisdiction for the administration of housing
obligations in accordance with sound regional planning consideration in the State.
Development Fee means money paid by a developer for the improvement of property as
permitted in N.J.A.C. 5:97-8.3.
Developer means the legal or beneficial owner or owners of a lot or of any land proposed
to be included in a proposed development, including the holder of an option or contract to
purchase, or other person having an enforceable proprietary interest in such land.
Equalized Assessed Value means the assessed value of a property divided by the current
average ratio of assessed to true value for the municipality in which the property is
situated, as determined in accordance with sections 1, 5, and 6 of P.L.1973, c.123
(C.54:1-35a through C.54:1-35c).
Green Building Strategies means those strategies that minimize the impact of
development on the environment, and enhance the health, safety and well-being of
residents by producing durable, low-maintenance, resource-efficient housing while
making optimum use of existing infrastructure and community service.
25-1900.5
Residential Development Fees.
a. Imposed Fees.
1. Within the City of Ocean City residential developers, except for developers of the
types of development specifically exempted below, shall pay a fee of one- and
one-half percent (1.5%) of the equalized assessed value for residential
development provided no increased density is permitted.
2. When an increase in residential density pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d(5)
(known as a "d" variance) has been permitted, developers is required to pay a
development fee of six percent 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 one- and one-half percent (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.
b. Eligible Exactions, Ineligible Exactions and Exemptions for Residential Development.
1. Affordable housing developments, developments where the developer is providing
for the construction of affordable units elsewhere in the municipality,
developments where the developer has made a payment in lieu of on-site
construction of affordable units, nonprofit institutions and other tax-exempt
entities shall be exempt from development fees.
2. 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
2
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.
3. Development fees shall be imposed and collected when an existing structure, other
than a detached single-family dwelling, is constructed, demolished and replaced,
or expanded (if the expansion is not otherwise exempt from the development fee
requirement). The development fee shall be calculated on the increase in the
equalized assessed value of the improved structure.
4. Existing detached single-family dwellings that are reconstructed, renovated or
expanded shall be exempt from development fees.
5. Developers of existing lots that result in the construction of a detached single-
family home shall be exempt from paying a development fee provided the single-
family home is not the result of a subdivision. If the single-family home is the
result of a subdivision, a development fee shall apply to all single-family homes
which are a net increase over the number of homes on the site prior to the
subdivision.
6. For the demolition of an existing residential structure with a replacement of two or
more residential structures, the development fee shall be calculated by subtracting
the equalized assessed value at the time of the structure demolition from the
equalized assessed value of the new residential replacements.
7. Owner occupied residential structures demolished and replaced as a result of a
fire, flood or natural disaster shall be exempt from paying a development fee.
25-1900.6
Non-Residential Development Fees.
a. Imposed Fees.

improvements, for all new non-residential construction on an unimproved lot or
lots.

specifically exempted, shall also pay a fee equal to two and one-half (2.5) percent
of the increase in equalized assessed value resulting from any additions to existing
structures to be used for non-residential purposes.
3. Development fees shall be imposed and collected when an existing structure is
demolished and replaced. The development fee of two and a half percent (2.5%)
shall be calculated on the difference between the equalized assessed value of the
pre-existing land and improvement and the equalized assessed value of the newly
improved structure, 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 non-residential development fee shall be zero.
b. Eligible Exactions, Ineligible Exactions and Exemptions for Non-Residential
Development.
1. The non-residential portion of a mixed-use inclusionary or market rate
development shall be subject to the two and a half (2.5) percent development fee,
unless otherwise exempted below.
2. The 2.5 percent fee shall not apply to an increase in equalized assessed value
resulting from alterations, change in use within existing footprint, reconstruction,
renovations and repairs.
3

residential development fee, in that event, within three years after that event or
after the issuance of the final certificate of occupancy of the non-residential
development, whichever is later.
5. If a property which was exempted from the collection of a non-residential
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 non-residential
development fees under these circumstances may be enforceable by the City of
Ocean City as a lien against the real property of the owner.

a. 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.

Summary -
The adoption of this ordinance is part of Ocean City's Affordable Housing strategy.
This ordinance replaces and updates existing Article 1900, which is the City's
Development Fee Ordinance, and which requires fees to be paid into the City's
affordable housing trust fund by developers of certain new constructions projects.
The major substantive changes to the existing ordinance are as follow:
• References the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) are replaced with the Court
in recognition of the Court's role in providing oversight over the City's use of fees in its
affordable housing trust fund.
• The Residential Development Fee is increased from 1% to 1.5%.
• Owner-occupied residential structures demolished and replaced as a result of fire,
flood or other natural disaster are exempted from paying a development fee.

ORDINANCE NO. 18-22
Master Plan Consistency Report
Introduction.
Ordinance 18-22 "An Ordinance Amending and Supplementing Chapter XXV, Zoning
and Land Development of the Revised General Ordinances of the City of Ocean City,
New Jersey (Development Fee)" will be introduced and adopted on first reading by
City Council on November 29, 2018, and will be advertised according to law and
scheduled for second reading and public hearing on December 13, 2018.
The "Municipal Land Use Law" provides the Planning Board with thirty-five (35) days
from the referral date to prepare, review, adopt and transmit their consistency report
regarding Ordinance 18-22 to City Council. NISA 40:55D-26 describes the Planning
Board's responsibility regarding the master plan consistency review as follows:
"... the planning board shall make and transmit to the governing body, within 35 days
after referral, a report including identification of any provisions in the proposed
development regulation, revision or amendment which are inconsistent with the master
plan and recommendations concerning those inconsistencies and any other matters as the
board deems appropriate."
The statute requires that every zoning ordinance must "either be substantially
consistent with the land use plan element and the housing plan element of the master
plan, or designed to effectuate such plan element." NJSA 40:55D-62a.
While formerly only zoning ordinances and amendments thereto were required to be
submitted to the planning board, it is now clear from the wording in NISA 40:55D-26
that all "development regulations" must be referred to the planning board for comment
and report. The statute requires that every zoning ordinance must "either be
substantially consistent with the land use plan and housing plan of the master plan, or
designed to effectuate such plan elements." The "Master Plan" referred to herein is the
City of Ocean City Master Plan adopted February 3, 1988, and as subsequently
amended.

Ordinance 18-22
Master Plan Consistency Report
Ordinance Summary.
Ordinance 18-22 is part of Ocean City's Affordable Housing strategy and is required by
the Settlement Agreement¹, and is being adopted expressly for the purpose of assisting
the City of Ocean City in meeting its affordable housing obligation. This Ordinance
replaces the existing development fee ordinance; it includes a residential fee of one-and-
one-half percent (1.5%) of equalized assessed value, and recognizes the City's
Judgement of Compliance from the Court. Fees collected pursuant to this Ordinance
shall be used for the sole purpose of providing low- and moderate-income housing.
Analysis and Conclusion.
As noted above the Planning Board's responsibility in terms of the master plan
consistency review is to evaluate the ordinance with regard to the land use plan and
housing plan; identify any provisions in the ordinance which are inconsistent with the
Master Plan; and make recommendations concerning those inconsistencies and any
other matters as the Board deems appropriate.
In defining "substantial consistency" the Supreme Court in Manalapan Realty v.
Township Committee made it clear that some inconsistency is permitted "provided it
does not substantially or materially undermine or distort the basic provisions and
objectives of the Master Plan." The "Municipal Land Use Law" does not define the term
inconsistent.
The following Master Plan Goals and Objectives are relevant to Ordinance 18-22:
To support the upgrading of substandard housing, increase the diversity of housing
choices, housing affordability and year-round population; and maintain and
enhance existing residential areas as the foundation of a desirable and vibrant
family resort community.
To encourage municipal actions which will guide the long range appropriate use
and development of lands within the City of Ocean City in a manner which will
promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of present and future
residents.
To encourage coordination of the numerous regulations and activities which
influence land development with a goal of producing efficient uses of land with
appropriate development types and scale.
➤ To promote the establishment of appropriate population densities in locations that
will contribute to the well-being of persons, neighborhoods and preservation of the
environment.

Master Plan Consistency Report
Having considered Ordinance 18-22, the Municipal Land Use Law and the Master Plan,
it is my professional opinion that Ordinance 18-22 is consistent with the City Master
Plan since it is designed to effectuate the Housing Plan element and will advance the
Master Plan Goals and Objectives cited herein.

CITY OF OCEAN CITY/CAPE MAY COUNTY
BACKGROUND
REGION # 6
Prepared by James Cordingley, Supervising Planner
October 25, 2006
CORH
Ocean City, Cape May County, received second round substantive certification of its Housing
Element and Fair Share Plan addressing its total 1987-1999 fair share obligation on October 4, 2000. On
March 10, 1998, the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) approved Ocean City's development fee
ordinance. On October 4, 2006, Ocean City petitioned COAH for third round substantive certification.
The City included a proposed development fee ordinance amendment and spending plan with its petition.
The development fee ordinance amendment is the subject of this review pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:94-6.
II. PROPOSED ORDINANCE
Ocean City's revised development fee ordinance proposes to impose on residential developers
mandatory development fees of one percent (.01%) of the equalized assessed value of new residential

provided no increased density is permitted. Unchanged from the City's second round development fee
ordinance, if a 'd' variance is granted pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d(5), then the additional residential
units realized, above what is permitted by right under the existing zoning, will incur a bonus development
fee of six percent (6%) on the equalized assessed value for each additional unit. The ordinance also
applies a mandatory fee of one percent (.01%) on new non-residential developments and on the increase
in the equalized assessed value for expansions of existing structures.
Ocean City has exempted affordable housing or developments and developers that have received
preliminary or final approval prior to the effective date of the development fee ordinance unless the
developer seeks a substantial change in the approval. Also exempt are developers of single family lots
that result in the construction of a single family home, provided the single family home is not the result of
a subdivision. If the single family home is the result of a subdivision, a development fee shall apply to all
single family homes which are a net increase over the number of homes on the site prior to the
subdivision. For the demolition of an existing residential structure which is replaced by the construction

petition, fails to obtain substantive certification, allows its certification to lapse, or its substantive
certification is revoked by COAH, this ordinance is null and void.

EXCERPT FROM ORDINANCE #25-1900.5: "Residential Development Fees:
Within the City of Ocean City residential developers shall pay a fee of one and a half percent (1.5%) of the equalized assessed value
for residential development provided no increased density is permitted."
EXCERPT FROM ORDINANCE #25-1900.6: "Non-Residential Development Fees:
1. Within all zoning districts, non-residential developers, except for developers of types of development specifically exempted, shall
pay a fee equal to two and one-half (2.5) percent of the equalized assessed value of the land and improvements, for all new non-
residential construction on an unimproved lot or lots."
2.Non-residential developers, except for developers of the types of development specifically exempted, shall also pay a fee equal to
two and one-half (2.5) percent of the increase in equalized assessed value resulting from any additions to existing structures to be used
for non-residential purposes."
3.Development fees shall be imposed and collected when an existing structure is demolished and replaced. The development fee of
two and a half percent (2.5%) shall be calculated on the difference between the equalized assessed value of the pre-existing land and
improvement and the equalized assessed value of the newly improved structure, 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 non-residential development fee
shall be zero."

SUPERSEDES ORDER #: OCPD 2:16 (7-03-18)
PURPOSE: The purpose of this written directive is to establish a personnel early warning system.
POLICY:
It is the policy of this department to implement and utilize Guardian Tracking® Software as
an early warning system for tracking and reviewing incidents of risk and provide timely
intervention consistent with the New Jersey Attorney General's Law Enforcement
Directive No. 2018-3.
OCEAN CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT - Early Warning System - Page 1 of 6
PROCEDURE:
1.
EARLY WARNING SYSTEM
A.
B.
The Early Warning System is designed to detect patterns and trends before the
conduct escalates into more serious problems. As such, employees must
understand that the early warning system is not identical to the disciplinary
process. Although it is possible that disciplinary action may be taken as the result
of evidence that rules and regulations were violated, this is not the sole or even
primary intent of the system. The primary intent of an early warning system is to
address potential problems through the use of appropriate management and
supervisory strategies before formal discipline is warranted.
Many different measures of employee performance (actions or behaviors) can be
regularly examined for patterns or practices that may indicate potential problems.
These performance measures shall include, but are not limited to, the following
documented indicators:
1.
Internal affairs complaints against an employee, whether initiated by
another employee or by a member of the public;
2.
Civil actions filed against the officer;
3.
Criminal investigations of or criminal complaints against an employee;
4.
Any use of force by the officer that is formally determined or adjudicated
(for example, by internal affairs or a grand jury) to have been excessive,
unjustified, or unreasonable;
5.
Domestic violence investigations in which the employee is an alleged
subject;
6.
An arrest of the employee, including on a driving under the influence
charge;
7.
Sexual harassment claims against an employee;
8.
Vehicular collisions involving the officer that are formally determined to
have been the fault of the officer;
9.
A positive drug test by the officer;
10.
11.
Cases or arrests by the officer that are rejected or dismissed by a court;
Cases in which evidence obtained by an officer is suppressed by a court;
12.
Insubordination by the officer;
13.
Neglect of duty by the officer;
14.
Unexcused absences by the employee;
15.
Vehicular pursuits.
OCEAN CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT - Early Warning System - Page 2 of 6
II.
C.
D.
Generally, three (3) instances of questionable conduct or performance indicators
(as listed in section B, above) within a 12-month period would initiate the early
warning system process.
If one incident triggers multiple performance indicators, that incident shall not be
double or triple counted, but instead shall count as only one performance indicator.
: ADMINISTRATION OF EARLY WARNING SYSTEM:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
The early warning system is primarily the responsibility of the Internal Affairs Unit,
but any supervisor may initiate the early warning process based upon his or her
own observations. Emphasis should be placed on anticipating employee problems
before it results in improper performance or conduct.
Internal affairs shall be alerted by the Guardian Tracking® Software if an employee
has the emergence of a pattern, practices or trend of inappropriate behavior or
misconduct. In addition, the internal affairs supervisor shall query the Guardian
Tracking® Software and review an individual employee's history any time a new
complaint is received.
1.
Using this information and their experience, internal affairs investigators
may be able to identify employees who may need remedial/corrective
intervention even before such is indicated by the Guardian Tracking®
Software.
If the Guardian Tracking® Software indicates the emergence of a pattern,
practices or trend of inappropriate behavior or misconduct, the internal affairs
supervisor shall consult with the employee's supervisor and/or commander.
The internal affairs supervisor and the employee's supervisor and/or commander
shall review the information provided by internal affairs along with any other
relevant information from department records for the purpose of initiating a course
of intervention designed to correct/interrupt the emerging pattern, practice or trend.
1.
2.
3.
If the Guardian Tracking® Software ha's returned an incorrect identification
or "false positive," that conclusion should be documented.
If the Guardian Tracking® Software reveals that an employee has violated
department rules and regulations or written directives, the supervisor in
consultation with the internal affairs unit should proceed with an internal
investigation and possible disciplinary action.
If the Guardian Tracking® Software reveals that the employee has
engaged in conduct which indicates a lack of understanding or inability to
comply with accepted procedures, the supervisor shall consult with the
internal affairs unit to determine the appropriate course of
remedial/corrective intervention.
At least every six (6) months, internal affair's personnel shall audit the agency's
tracking system and records to assess the accuracy and efficacy of the tracking
system.

SUPERVISORS
A.
B.
C.
An employee's first line supervisor is usually the first member of the department to
encounter and document specific incidents that affect an employee. It is essential
for the supervisor to speak with the employee, document these incidents and
report findings to their commander and if warranted, the internal affairs supervisor.
The success of this program relies heavily on the first line supervisor's
participation and involvement.
If a supervisor has initiated remedial/corrective intervention, the internal affairs unit
shall be formally notified of such efforts through the Guardian Tracking® Software.
The incident narrative placed in the Guardian Tracking® Software may serve as
adequate documentation.
Guardian Tracking® Software
1.
Guardian Tracking® Software allows supervisors the ability to document
routine performance in one centralized location during the course of an
evaluation period. As incidents are entered, Guardian Tracking® Software
will monitor the frequency of specific incidents to determine if early
intervention is warranted.
IV.
2.
Supervisors will not document routine performance in any other format. All
performance documentation will be entered into the Guardian Tracking®
Software.
3.
Supervisors will have access to make entries and view all employees under
their chain of command.
4.
5.
Supervisors, who identify deficiencies with other personnel outside of their
chain of command, will submit the nature of the performance deficiency
directly to the employee involved. Supervisors within the chain of
command will, by default, have access to this newly created
documentation.
a. This process does not relieve the documenting supervisors of the
obligation to take immediate action to correct serious infractions
that may result in liability, injury, and/or disrepute.
Supervisors, who identify and wish to document positive performance
conduct on other personnel, outside of their chain of command, will submit
the nature of the performance directly to the employee involved.
Supervisors within the chain of command will, by default, have access to
this newly created documentation.
DIVISION COMMANDERS
A.
In addition to the regular data audits conducted by internal affairs, the division
commanders shall periodically audit an individual employee's history. Using this
information and their experience, the division commander may be able to identify
employees who may need remedial/corrective intervention even before such is
indicated by the Guardian Tracking® Software.
OCEAN CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT - Early Warning System - Page 4 of 6
V.
B.
When under early warning system monitoring, the employee's division commander
and supervisor shall meet with the employee to discuss the situation in depth to:
1.
Identify problems or potential problems;
2.
Determine short and long-term goals for improvement;
3.
Come to a consensus commitment on a plan for long-term improved
performance;
4.:
Advise of the monitoring process and the repercussions of future sustained
transgressions.
C.
D.
Generally, personnel should expect to remain under intensive monitoring and
supervision for at least three (3) months when an early warning flag is triggered or
until the supervisor concludes that the employee's behavior has been remediated
(whichever is longer).
Supervisor/Employee Meeting
1.
2.
All supervisor/employee meetings shall be thoroughly documented in the
Guardian Tracking® Software, which will automatically be forwarded to the
Chief of Police or his designee. The affected employee and supervisor
shall meet on a regular basis, minimally monthly, to discuss progress
towards the agreed upon goals and objectives.
All regular monthly progress/status reports shall be submitted via the
Guardian Tracking® Software.
Ε.
3.
An additional six (6) months of documented monitoring is required following
removal from the early warning system. Monthly monitoring reports from
the direct supervisor are required.
Any statement made by the officer in connection with the early warning system
review process may not be used against them in any disciplinary or other
proceeding.
REMEDIAL/CORRECTIVE INTERVENTION
11
A.
Supervisory or command personnel may initiate remedial/corrective intervention to
correct behavior. Remedial/corrective intervention may include, but is not limited
to:
1.
Training;
2.
Retraining;
3.
Counseling;
4.
Intensive supervision;
5.

7.
Peer counseling.
B.
C.
D.
Internal disciplinary action, remedial/corrective intervention, and fitness for duty
examinations are not mutually exclusive and should be jointly pursued if and when
appropriate.
When remedial/corrective intervention has been undertaken, the Chief of Police
shall ensure that such actions are documented in writing. No entry should be
made in the employee's personnel file, unless the action results in a sustained
investigation. If the remedial/corrective intervention is a training program,
attendance and successful completion of that program should be noted in the
employee's training record.
All reports shall be forwarded to the Chief of Police through the Guardian
Tracking® Software for review. These reports have the same confidential status
as Internal Affairs documents and are subject to the same disclosure and retention
regulations and guidelines.
NOTIFICATION TO SUBSEQUENT LAW ENFORCEMENT EMPLOYER
A.
If any officer who is or has been subject to an Early Warning System review
process applies to or accepts employment at a different law enforcement agency
than the one where he or she underwent the Early Warning System review
process, it is the responsibility of the prior or current employing law enforcement
agency to notify the subsequent employing law enforcement agency of the officer's
Early Warning System review process history and outcomes. Upon request, the
prior or current employing agency shall share the officer's Early Warning System
review process files with the subsequent employing agency.
