that all such ordinances or part of ordinances now existing or in effect unless the same are in
conflict or inconsistent with any provision of this Ordinance shall remain in effect.
The provisions of this Ordinance are declared to be severable and if any section, subsection,
sentence, clause or phrase thereof for any reason be held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a

approval for said premises shall be suspended. The Zoning Officer shall issue a notice of
suspension to the licensee and to the owner of the property. Any subsequent application for use

industrial zone districts as set forth in sections §196-17 through §196-19 of the Code as use-by-
review, requiring a public hearing, in accordance with the Municipal Land Use Law and Open

the guidelines set forth herein. Medical Cannabis Dispensaries are not permitted in residential
zone districts.

ground floor (i.e. street-level) of any building in which it has been approved to be located. Any
such Medical Cannabis Dispensary shall be accessible directly from the right-of-way through a
separate entrance, independent from any other retail or residential ingress to the building. Only a
secured, one-way emergency exit from the establishment may be integrated with common egress.

established by law and in effect in the zone in which it is to be located as of the time of the
licensee’s application.

are submitted. To be deemed complete, all applications shall be accompanied by the following:
(1) The applicant shall submit proof of prior approval by the State licensing authority for a
Medical Cannabis Dispensary.
(2) The applicant shall submit proof that the applicant has or will have lawful possession of the
premises proposed for the Medical Cannabis Dispensary, which proof may consist of the
following: a deed, a lease, a real estate contract contingent upon successful licensing, or a
letter of intent from the owner of the premises indicating an intent to lease the premises to

zoning laws and the location restrictions set forth in §196-33.1 of this municipal code.

license. Standards for proof of financial capability shall be determined by the Director and
adopted by rule or regulation.
(6) The applicant shall submit annually, an application or renewal fee of $15,000 for a Medical
Cannabis Dispensary license.
(7) In addition to complying with any other State or City requirements related to good character
and having no criminal background, any person proposed to have an ownership interest in
the license shall not have committed any cannabis licensing violation affecting public safety,
as defined in the rules and regulations regarding State or City Medical Cannabis Dispensary
licenses in the preceding year.
(8) The applicant and the contents of the application shall otherwise comply with any and all
qualification standards set forth in the State and City laws, regulations, or requirements.
(1) Any City license for a Medical Cannabis Dispensary issued pursuant to this Chapter shall be
valid for a period of 1 year from the date of issuance.
(2) The Director may, at his/her discretion, adjust the annual renewal date of the local license to
correlate with an applicant’s State licensing and renewal schedule, and the annual license fee
shall be increased or decreased to prorate the period, accordingly.
(3) Upon renewal of a Medical Cannabis Dispensary license, the licensee shall be governed by any
Code amendments, additional restrictions, or changes in requirements adopted since the previous
license was issued or renewed.
(4) Transfer of ownership of a Medical Cannabis Dispensary license, change of location of any
license, or modification to expand a licensed premise shall be treated as a new application,
subject to City land use review and approval as set forth in section196-33.1 of the Code.
(5) If the licensee has received notice of violation of any law or regulation relating to their Medical
Cannabis Dispensary license, including disciplinary action against any past or current cannabis
license, the applicant for renewal shall include a copy of the notice of violation or disciplinary
action with their application.
Packet Pg. 16
1.2
B. Summary suspension. When the Director has reasonable grounds to believe that a Medical
Cannabis Dispensary licensee has engaged in deliberate and willful violation of any applicable
law or regulation, or that the public health, safety, and/or general welfare has been jeopardized
and requires emergency action, the Director may enter a summary suspension order for the
immediate suspension of such license pending further investigation.
(1) The summary suspension order shall be in writing and shall state the reasons therefore.
(2) The Director shall convene a review panel consisting of the Director, a second Director or
administrative officer designated by the Mayor, and the Chair of the Hoboken Planning Board or
his or her designee. To the extent practicable, the hearing shall be scheduled within 30 days of
the date of the summary suspension order. The hearing shall be open to the public and shall be
legally noticed as a public hearing in accordance with the Open Public Meetings Act.
(3) The review panel, by majority vote, is authorized to impose any fines, conditions, restrictions,
suspensions, or combination thereof authorized by the State of New Jersey. In the absence of
State specified penalties, the City may issue fines up to $25,000 per offense and/or issue a
suspension of that Medical Cannabis Dispensary license for a period up to, but not exceeding, 6
months.
C. Inactive licenses. The Director may suspend or revoke any Medical Cannabis Dispensary license
if the licensed premises have been inactive or unoccupied by the licensee for 6 months or more.
D. State license. The Director shall suspend or revoke any license if the corresponding State license
for the subject location is expired, surrendered, suspended, or revoked.
All ordinances or parts thereof in conflict or inconsistent with this Ordinance are hereby
repealed, but only to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency, it being the legislative intent
that all such ordinances or part of ordinances now existing or in effect unless the same are in
conflict or inconsistent with any provision of this Ordinance shall remain in effect.

sentence, clause or phrase thereof for any reason be held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a
court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
sections, subsections, sentences, clauses and phrases of this Ordinance, but shall remaining in
effect; it being the legislative intent that this Ordinance shall stand notwithstanding the invalidity
of any part.
This Ordinance shall take effect upon passage and publication as provided by law.

CITY OF HOBOKEN
ORDINANCE NO.: 18-790
WHEREAS, the City of Hoboken held its first community meeting on Monday,
November 19, 2018 to hear from the public regarding proposed legislation that would allow for
“Marijuana Establishments” in Hoboken’s zoning code, pending the passage of legislation on the
state level; and,
WHEREAS, at the community meeting, the Mayor requested that the Zoning and Land
Use Subcommittee of the City Council review the proposed legislation and recommend changes,
if any; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council feels that the feedback from the community from the
limited number of people who participated was neither definitive or conclusive, and therefore it
would be in the City’s best interest to have additional community outreach and receive additional
input to inform the decision of what type of marijuana establishments should be permitted in
Hoboken and where they would be permitted, if at all; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council feels that it should wait to formally enact any long term
policies until after the State level legislation is decided so that the Hoboken legislation can be
better tailored to State regulation; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council feels that further analysis should be completed prior to
introducing longer term legislation including the potential economic benefits of allowing
Marijuana Establishments in Hoboken, more thorough understanding of health and safety
concerns, and plans for enforcement, training and education, and related costs for each; and,
Packet Pg. 20
1.3
Hoboken to guide our municipal boards, if and when the State level legislation is decided, there
is greater risk that a variance for such use in any location may be approved without proper local
regulation; and,
WHEREAS, Hoboken’s neighboring cities of both Jersey City and Weehawken are
among the many in New Jersey that have recently enacted zoning legislation to reduce such risk
by prohibiting the sale of marijuana for recreational uses until such time that the State legislation
is finalized and comprehensive policy can be completed; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council wants to also emphasize that this legislation is not meant
to limit or prohibit the personal use of prescribed medical marijuana or any personal uses that
may be legalized through subsequent state legislation; and,
WHEREAS, in no way does this ordinance reflect the long-term view of the City
Council, but rather is a short-term safe guard until the City Council can evaluate and pass an
updated ordinance.
Chapters 196 “Zoning” of the Code of the City of Hoboken shall be amended as follows;
additions to the current ordinance are noted in underline.
§196-10
Marijuana establishments, including but not limited to, medical marijuana dispensaries, retail
marijuana stores, marijuana-infused products manufacturing facilities, marijuana cultivation
facilities, marijuana testing facilities, and/or a marijuana storage facilities are not permitted in
any zoning district within the City of Hoboken, unless explicitly permitted by the Hoboken City
Code.

The provisions of this Ordinance are declared to be severable and if any section, subsection,
sentence, clause or phrase thereof for any reason be held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a
court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
sections, subsections, sentences, clauses and phrases of this Ordinance, but shall remaining in

WHEREAS, on or about October 8, 2015, Just Block 112, LLC submitted an initial Pre-
Submission Form to the City seeking to be designated as the Redeveloper of the Project Site, a

information as requested by the City, including updates to the Pre-Submission Form; and,
WHEREAS, after considering the Pre-Submission Form and the proposed project
overall, the City, by Resolution of the City Council dated July 6, 2016, conditionally designated
Just Block 112, LLC as the Conditional Redeveloper of the Project Site in accordance with the
terms of an Interim Cost and Conditional Designation Agreement (“Conditional Designation
Agreement”) that had been executed between the City of Hoboken and Just Block 112, LLC on
June 23, 2016, and where such Conditional Designation Agreement had been amended by
Resolution of the City Council on March 1, 2017; and,
WHEREAS, Just Block 112, LLC most recently submitted conceptual site plans for the
Project Site on April 5, 2017, and since this time, the City and Just Block 112, LLC have been

WHEREAS, the 2013 New Jersey Revised Statutes Title 11A – Civil Service commonly
known as the “Civil Service Act” among others, describes the requirements to hire civil service
employees for public positions; and
WHEREAS, the Civil Service Commission, established by the Civil Service Act
designates all public employees as falling under Senior Executive, Unclassified or Career
Service categories (the latter which is further classified into Competitive and Non-Competitive);
and
WHEREAS, the Civil Rights Act restricts the number of Senior Executive and
Unclassified Service positions allowed and exempts such positions from the Act; and
WHEREAS, section 11A:3-5 of the Civil Service Act provides for Unclassified Service
employees at the local level only in certain instances unless relief is sought from the Civil
Service Commission for exceptions; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 51 of the Hoboken Municipal Code: Office of the Mayor was
originally adopted in 1973; and,
WHEREAS, 51:1(b) “Personnel Staff” was amended in 1987 and states “The personnel
staff in the Office of the Mayor shall include a Secretary, Clerk-Stenographer and Confidential
Aide” reflecting, as a whole, outdated titles and functions; and
WHEREAS, according to the Civil Service Commission’s local title listing, the
classification of these titles are: Secretary – Unclassified, Clerk-Stenographer – Career Service –
Competitive, and Confidential Aide – Unclassified; and
WHEREAS, under the prior administration, conforming to Chapter 11A:3-5 of the Civil
Service Act, the Hoboken mayor had TWO Unclassified Service positions in the Office of the
Mayor who provided a range of services which included supporting services for the mayor,
communications and public relations, and constituent services; and
WHEREAS, the administrative support and the day-to-day scheduling for the mayor was
handled by a Career Service - Competitive position that was included in a department other than
the Office of the Mayor; and
Packet Pg. 55

WHEREAS, this aforementioned arrangement remains under this administration and this
ordinance will have no effect on that position; and
WHEREAS, as had previously been the case under prior administrations, the current
administration re-established, and the City Council agrees was justified, a separate office of
Constituent Services and hired someone to run this effort; this significantly reduced the related
day-to-day responsibilities of the TWO Unclassified Service positions within the Office of the
Mayor and allowed these positions to focus on supportive services for the mayor and
communications and public relations; and
WHEREAS, the net effect of these hires has been to DOUBLE, from TWO to FOUR, the
number of people providing supporting services to the mayor, communications and public
relations and constituent services, while at the same time the mayor then took on a second job as
Of Counsel at a law firm; and
WHEREAS, the Office of the Mayor now includes THREE Unclassified Service
positions that currently are inconsistent with both Chapter 51 of the Hoboken Municipal Code
and the Section 11A: 3-5 of the Civil Rights Section and include: a Secretary to the
Board/Commission (functions as Deputy Chief of Staff to the Mayor), a Confidential Assistant
(functions as Chief of Staff to the Mayor), and a Confidential Aide (functions as Communication
Manager); and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to reduce costs relating to the Office of the Mayor
and ensure that the Hoboken Municipal Code conforms with the Civil Service Act 11A: 3-5 and
therefore is legislating to reduce the number of Unclassified Service positions back to TWO and
eliminating the outdated Clerk - Stenographer position altogether which is currently vacant; and
WHEREAS, the City Council acknowledges the three Unclassified Service positions
within the Office of the Mayor are currently occupied; and
WHEREAS, the effect of this proposed ordinance on the Office of the Mayor will be to
ultimately reduce the number of Unclassified Service positions in the Office of the Mayor by
one, but the ordinance will not take effect until such time as one of the existing three
Unclassified Service positions within the Office of the Mayor is vacated by the person who
currently exists in the role; and

been done so after the recently announced hiring of a new Communications Manager and as
such, is forward looking from the date of passage.

Predictable renewals
We have developed a comprehensive renewal approach to provide customers with fair and predictable renewals. Sun Life
Stop-Loss renewals include all of the following:
• An explanation about how pooling helps deliver rate stability
• A claims summary showing how your plan is performing
• Education about market factors that affect stop-loss rates
• A clear renewal illustration that outlines current rates and renewal options
Consistent renewals
Claims
Premium
Dollars $
The chart above shows how our pooled approach can provide protection against significant changes in renewal
costs. Your Stop-Loss claims can rise and fall from year to year, largely due to the volatility often associated with
catastrophic claims. In a non-pooled approach, your renewal premium would likely be adjusted each year to reflect
your individual claims experience. The corresponding rate changes might be extreme, depending on how poor or
how favorable the experience was during the most recent contract periods. Pooling decreases volatility, since the cost
of the catastrophic claim is shared by the entire customer pool.
Our pooled approach has provided stability for our clients in good times and bad.
Over the last three years, only 4% of renewal increases were greater than 40%, only 12% were
greater than 30% and only 23% exceeded 20%.

Assumptions
• Transplant rider
Sun Life assumes that if a Transplant rider is in place with your health-care plan, Sun Life is
designated as secondary claims payer.
Producer commissions
Sun Life pays the following commission percent to the Stop-Loss producer: 0.0%.
Sun Life will not reimburse for claims expenses incurred outside the Policy Year parameters.
General coverage
• Assumptions
The above rates assume that your underlying plan will be brought into compliance with the Mental Health
Parity Act and that covered expenses, as defined under the Mental Health Parity Act, will be covered as
"any other illness". This renewal proposal also assumes that there are no underlying plan limits that are
inconsistent with the guidelines established by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Disclosures
1. As of year-end 2016, SLF's U.S. group benefits business was the seventh-largest group benefits carrier
(excluding group health care) in the U.S. based on revenue, from publicly disclosed financial data for U.S.
Group Benefits businesses, as compiled by Sun Life.
2. $1.2 billion of in-force premium as of December 31, 2016.
3. Data as of 2013–2016.
4. For current financial ratings, please visit www.sunlife.com.
Producer licensing
All Sun Life Financial companies require producers using insurance quotes we issue for the purpose of
soliciting, selling, or negotiating insurance to be licensed both by the state where the prospective client is
located and by any state where the solicitation, sale, or negotiation of insurance occurs, if different. This
requirement pertains to all forms of solicitation, sale, or negotiation of insurance, including but not limited to
solicitation, sale, or negotiation conducted in person, by telephone, by email, by fax, or otherwise.
Currently, group underwriting companies include Sun Life and Health Insurance Company (U.S.) and Sun Life
Assurance Company of Canada. Sun Life Financial Inc., the publicly traded holding company for the Sun Life Financial
group of companies, is not an insurance company and does not guarantee the obligations of these insurance
companies. Each insurance company relies on its own financial strength and claims-paying ability.
Stop-Loss information
The Sun Life Stop-Loss catastrophic cancer claim reimbursement must be based on the International Statistical
Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) cancer codes 140-239. To receive a reduction in the

RAVINDER S. BHALLA STEPHEN D. MARKS, PP, AICP
Mayor Business Administrator
PATRICK WHERRY
Assistant Business Administrator
On June 6, 2018 the City Council will consider a resolution authorizing use of a competitive
contracting process for the selection of a business or consortium to partner with the City to
implement Hoboken’s Smart City Initiative.
The Smart City initiative has several components. It is envisioned as a public-private partnership
to deliver free, superfast, communitywide wifi in public places and public spaces (i.e. parks,
municipal buildings, city roads, the waterfront, etc.). However, it is not meant to replace
existing, BPU-regulated telephone or internet service. The City also anticipates partnering with
the Hoboken Public Schools and Hoboken Housing Authority to deliver services on their
respective campuses.
The initiative envisions the installation of a network of sensors throughout the city to deliver
real-time information regarding emergencies, community events, weather conditions, air quality,
water quality, flooding, parking, etc. It is also anticipated that applications will be developed by
respondent(s) to promote local businesses through marketing, advertising and promotions to
residents and visitors alike. The City will require an “open data platform” to publish aggregated
data (e.g. “heat maps”), while protecting the privacy rights of individual users. No individually
identifiable data will be generated, shared or sold.
The Hoboken Smart City Initiative will be funded largely through public advertising,
sponsorships and naming rights. It is envisioned that the sale of traditional print media on such
things as bus shelters, solar belly garbage cans and HOP buses, as well as digital advertising
through the installation of internet kiosks (which will replace existing payphones), will generate
sufficient revenue for this initiative.
The City will use the competitive contracting process subscribed in both the New Jersey Local
Public Contracts Law (NJSA 40A:11-4.1, et seq. and NJAC 5:34-9.4) and the Broadband
Telecommunications Service Act (NJSA 40:9D-7, et seq.). Pursuant to New Jersey Local
Public Contracts Law (NJSA 40A:11-4.2) concessions may be for a term of up to five years.
Pursuant to the Broadband Telecommunications Act (NJSA 40:9D-7), a contract for a
wireless community network may be awarded for a term of up to seven years, and may be
extended for an additional term of three years by mutual agreement of the parties.
Attachment: Hoboken Smart City Initiative - Plan for Proposed Activities 2018-06-01 - Revised 2018-06-04 (Resolution Approving Competitive
Through a public-private partnership the City will leverage its ability to grant concessions and its
ownership of real property and municipal rights-of-way to leverage investment from the private
sector. The City will require a $10,000 per month rental fee and 25% of all gross revenues from
the concession.
Respondents will need to have a net worth of at least $1 million and shall submit a surety bond to
guarantee performance. Respondents shall also invest no less than $250,000 per year on system
operations and maintenance. The City will incentivize the employment of locally disadvantaged
residents for system operation and maintenance through the evaluation process.
Respondents shall submit Annual Financial Reports as prepared by a certified public accountant.
Respondents shall submit a business plan, anticipated revenue projections and key performance
indictors (KPI).
Through the competitive contracting RFP process, respondents shall identify all relevant
financial and operational information, including, but not limited to the following:
(1) the costs and source of financing for those costs that are associated with the installation,
maintenance and operation of infrastructure for the wifi community network;
(2) the amount of funding anticipated from the public advertising concession;
(3) a projected implementation schedule for the wifi community network and the projected
location of wifi infrastructure;
(4) the process by which the plan for the wifi community network deployment will be evaluated,
which shall include at least one public hearing prior to the decision on the plan;
(5) a description of how the wifi community network is to be provided and what geographic
areas are to be covered by such service;
(6) an evaluation of the current availability of wifi service provided by other private entities
within the city to identify appropriate internet service linkages, partners, and applications;
(7) a review of the risks, financial and otherwise, associated with the deployment of wifi
infrastructure via the wireless community network;
(8) a study that considers other alternatives for the deployment of the wifi community network,
including, but not limited to, other business models; and
(9) a review to determine the most appropriate technology and feasibility, including the design
of wifi infrastructure and related equipment used for such deployment. The plan shall be made
available to the public and submitted for review and comment to the State of New Jersey.
Since the governing body (Mayor and Council) are stewards of City property, it is anticipated
that the concession and every proposed location must be approved by the Mayor and City
Council. After award of the concession contract it is envisioned that the administration, along
with a City Council Subcommittee, will meet regularly (no less than monthly) with the selected
respondent to oversee the successful implementation and rollout of this initiative.
If you have any questions or need additional information or assistance, please let me know.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

To whom it may concern,
Thank you for giving Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) the opportunity to present these qualifications to provide the City of Hoboken (“the City”) with advisory and analytic services to assist the City
and the City Council in its role as the Redevelopment Authority for the City. We have assembled a team with in-depth knowledge and experience in hotel and real estate development and

the role.
EY is well-positioned to serve you as a trusted business advisor - having a broad array of clients in the public- and private-sectors gives us a unique perspective of their respective objectives
related to hospitality and mixed- used development. As such, we are committed to providing you with appropriate resources and strong executive engagement. We have carefully considered
the nature of your business needs and the requirements of this particular contract, and we believe that the following differentiators can help us function as a true business advisor:
► The right team and experience. We have hand-picked your team. The team has proven experience in real estate development and advisory across all asset types, with a strong focus and
deep experience in the lodging sector. Our multi-dimensional experience and expertise enables us to provide a holistic approach to the project. Additionally, we will partner with Real
Estate Solutions Group, LLC (“RESGroup”), which provides real estate consulting services to all levels of government and private developers to structure public/private finance and

and the RESGroup team out of Princeton, NJ, we live and breath this region. Our team members have personally conducted numerous assignments throughout the region, some of which
are summarized within this document. From ongoing economic development advisory and strategy work for the City of Newark, NJ, to market and cash flow analyses for the development
of a destination hotel, restaurant, banquet facility and club in Somerset County, NJ, EY and RESGroup exhibit deep expertise and experience in real estate development advisory in the New
Jersey and Greater New York City region.
► Depth of resources and sector knowledge. EY’s global presence and interconnectedness ensures that you will benefit from the experience, institutional knowledge and network of
professionals focused on the real estate sector. EY has one of the market leading real estate advisory practices in the country with experience advising clients across all aspects of real
estate including residential, commercial, industrial and hospitality property types. We also have a dedicated local team that understands the local New Jersey and greater New York City
Metropolitan Area real estate markets. This team is committed to helping our clients whether that may be on feasibility, cash flow, operations, financing, acquisition/disposition, or
strategy analyses.
► Invested in the local community. EY currently leases 170,000 square feet of office space, housing more than 1,000 EY employees at 121 River Street in Hoboken. The firm is a prominent
member of the local business community, and we have a significant direct economic impact on the region through the jobs the firm creates and the professional capacity EY builds in the
City’s professional services sector. We are eager to continue to contribute to the economic growth and the quality of life in the Hoboken area.
We are pleased to provide these qualifications with an overview of our credentials, team, and estimated fees. We are looking forward to introducing you to our team, but in the interim if you
have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact Lindsay Gordon at Lindsay.A.Gordon@ey.com or 212-773-1474; or Brian Tress at Brian.Tress@ey.com or 212-773-8359.

each entity may submit a separate $30,000 or $10,000 grant application addressing its role in the project.
Applicants do not have to be certified in their respective Sustainable Jersey program to be eligible to receive a
grant. However, fifty percent of the funding available for this grant cycle will be reserved for certified communities
and school districts with certified schools.
Proposed grant projects that would be eligible for funding or rebates available from the New Jersey Board of Public
Utilities Clean Energy Program (NJCEP), New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s (NJDEP), “It Pay$
to Plug In” electric vehicle charging grants, regional utility company programs, or other state government incentive
programs must leverage these resources in addition to the Sustainable Jersey grant as part of the overall
project budget. See Section J in the Application Information Package for more information on NJCEP, NJDEP,
and utility incentives.
Lighting upgrades of any kind are not eligible for funding. This includes street lighting, stadium lighting,
parking lot lighting, and other exterior and interior lighting.

d. Impact of Project
Describe how the completion of this project will advance your energy conservation, energy efficiency,
energy resiliency or renewable energy efforts. Also address how the project will augment existing green
team efforts and/or be a catalyst to advance your energy initiatives.
Impact of Project on the Municipal City Hall has been continuously occupied for 135 years, having been
or School Community in use as the municipal offices of the City of Hoboken since 1883 and
listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places since
1976. As the home to the majority of Hoboken’s municipal offices, the
4-story, 22,500 square foot building accounts for a high percentage of
the municipal government’s energy consumption, with 217 kW peak
electric demand. Once installed, the submetering system will support
measurement and verification of City Hall energy usage at the circuit
level and ongoing commissioning for energy-intensive equipment
Through this initiative, the City will have access to granular, real-time
energy data and the ability to review consumption metrics for City
Hall over quarterly and annual intervals. The data will enable City
Officials to make informed, strategic investments in City Hall’s
building envelope and demonstrate the value of submetering and
continuous commissioning for monitoring consumption at other City
buildings in support of the City’s overall goals for energy efficiency
and reduced emissions. Further, the Green Team will be able to work
with private-sector actors and other large consumers of energy in
Hoboken to replicate the project in other high-consumption buildings
such as schools, hotels, transit facilities, corporate offices, and high-
density housing complexes.
e. Budget Narrative
Describe how the grant funds will be spent. Eligible expenses include salaries, consultant or contractor
service fees, equipment, and supplies. If the total project budget is larger than your grant request, provide
the total budget for the project and describe any in-kind or cash matches that have been approved or
proposed in next year’s budget and/or funding from other sources.
Identify the specific NJCEP, NJDEP, utility-sponsored, or other state-sponsored incentives/grants your
program will utilize to fund the project (if applicable). If the project is eligible, the detailed budget should
include your best estimate of the anticipated funding. If the grant is awarded, the budget can be revised
when the actual amount of funding is confirmed. A list of NJCEP, NJDEP, and utility-sponsored incentive
programs is provided in Section J of the Application Information Package.

budget. If incentives are being utilized, make sure your uploaded budget includes the incentives that will
be received to indicate the overall contribution to the cost of the project.
During the project implementation phase, the City will explore options
for public engagement such as linking real time data collection to our
website or having the data presented on a live screen on the digital
bulletin board in City Hall. If this is incorporated into the project, the
City will collect feedback and input from public audiences to asses
quantitative and qualitative outcomes on public engagement efforts.

provide related services all in accordance with the requirements of the Local Public Contracts
Law (N.J.S.A. 40A:11-4.6 & 4.1).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the NJSBA, through ACES and its professional
energy consultant, shall be responsible for complying with the “Local Public Contracts Law,”
N.J.S.A. 40A:11-1.1 et seq. and all other applicable laws in connection with the preparation,
bidding, negotiation and execution of contracts in connection with the ACES Cooperative
Pricing System and the ACESplus Program.
Memorandum
To: Jennifer Gonzalez
The purpose of this memo is to provide an overview of the ACESplus program, which
can serve as a viable contracting vehicle between the City of Hoboken (Hoboken or the
City) and Gabel Associates (Gabel) to support the City’s participation in the Community
Solar Pilot Program. ACESplus is an established contracting method that is used by
various public entities, such as school districts, municipalities, and authorities.
The Alliance for Competitive Energy Services (ACES) is a Cooperative Pricing System
that was formed by the New Jersey School Boards Association (NJSBA) in 1999, and
approved by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA). In addition to
NJSBA as the lead agency, the co-sponsors of this collaborative partnership include the
New Jersey Association of School Business Officials (NJASBO) and the New Jersey
Association of School Administrators (NJASA).
The NJSBA engaged Gabel as the ACES Administrator through an open, competitive
procurement process as provided by Local Public Contract Law, with the most recent
procurement and award taking place in September 2018.
ACES has procured electricity and natural gas at discounted prices for New Jersey
schools for over eighteen years. The goal of the program is to help public entities save
money on their energy expenses. In 2014, the ACESplus program was implemented
within and as part of the overall ACES program to include sustainability measures (with
the NJSBA and NJASA as the sponsors).
The DCA has established Cooperative Pricing Regulations set forth N.J.A.C. 5:34-7.1 et
seq. Based on these Rules, ACES can accept, and has accepted, municipalities and
counties as members of the ACES Cooperative Pricing System. Specifically, the
Cooperative Pricing Regulations at N.J.A.C. 5:34-7.6 indicates that any contracting unit
can join a Cooperative Pricing System and sets forth the step-by-step process of how a
new contracting unit can join a purchasing system. Further, the Cooperative Pricing
Regulations at N.J.A.C. 7:34-7.2 sets forth the definition of “contracting unit,” which
clearly includes municipal entities such as Hoboken. These regulations collectively
make it clear that any municipality or county can join a Cooperative Pricing System.
Any public entity (including municipalities) can access our services through the
ACESplus program. To engage Gabel, the City would simply adopt a standardized
resolution to: (1) join the ACES Cooperative Pricing System (and sign the associated
Agreement) and (2) participate in the ACESplus program. A sample resolution and a
copy of the Cooperative Pricing System Agreement can be found in Attachment 1.
In addition, Attachment 2 includes a legal memo that states municipalities can participate
in the ACESplus program.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with the City and support its leadership role in
Community Solar.
Please let us know if you have any questions or would like to discuss further.

NJ’s Electric Vehicle Charging Grant Program
Application Form and Instructions
Overview
It Pay$ to Plug In provides grants to offset the cost to purchase, install and maintain electric vehicle
charging stations1. This program is designed to expand New Jersey’s growing network of electric vehicle
infrastructure, allowing residents, businesses, organizations and government2 agencies to purchase and
drive electric vehicles. EVs reduce greenhouse gases and other pollutants and improve air quality.
Additional Guidance
• An applicant may choose to charge a reasonable fee for use of a charging station. A reasonable fee
could include the actual cost of electricity and a minor administrative cost.
• For workplace charging, we recommend (but do not require) that employers with more than 50
employees use an employee survey (sample provided in “Plug-In Electric Vehicle Handbook for
Workplace Charging Hosts”) to determine the number of Level 1 and Level 2 charging stations that
may be needed to satisfy demand.
• Resources for charging stations hosts are available at www.drivegreen.nj.gov/charging.html

Definitions
1
“Charging station” or electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) means the physical location your employee will
plug in and charge his/her vehicle. It includes all hardware and software required to connect an electric vehicle to
a suitable electrical supply. A typical charging station consists of a console wired into the electrical supply and a
cable and connector to plug into the electric vehicle. Optionally, the charging station may include metering and
monitoring capabilities.
2
“Government” means a federal, state or local government agency (including a school district, municipality, city,
county, special district, transit district, joint powers authority, or port authority, owning fleets purchased with
government funds), and a tribal government or native village.
3
“Multi-Unit Dwelling” means multi-family residences, including apartments, condominiums, and townhouses.
There must be a minimum of 4 units.
4
“Level 1” charging means a 120 Volt AC 15 Amp electrical outlet. Electric vehicles are typically connected to the
charging station via a cable supplied by the vehicle manufacturer that consists of an SAE J1772 connector on one
end and a regular 3-prong plug on the other end.
5
“Level 2” charging means a 240 Volt AC circuit supplying between 20 and 80 Amps. Most commonly, level 2
charging is at 30 to 40 Amps. This requires a charging station that connects to the electrical service via a dedicated
line. It delivers energy to the electric vehicle through a cable terminated in an SAE J1772 connector.

CITY OF HOBOKEN
RESOLUTION NO.:
WHEREAS, Hoboken has some of the most valuable property in the State of New Jersey
with its waterfront location on the Hudson River and its proximity to New York City and given
the attractiveness of this land, there is significant planning and development activity in Hoboken;
and,
WHEREAS, the City of Hoboken is often party to this type of activity including, but not
limited to, its role as owner of real property that may be considered for sale or redevelopment; as
redevelopment authority over privately owned real property; as planning authority; as a potential
purchaser of real property through eminent domain; or as party to settlements that may involve
real property and any or all of the aforementioned; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that a fair and reasonable contractual
agreement for all parties relies upon an evaluation and understanding of the economic
consideration for the real property being sold, acquired, traded, redeveloped and/or re-zoned
under any agreement to which it is a party; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that the City, and therefore the residents and
taxpayers of Hoboken, are negatively positioned in agreements that the City is party to
concerning real property and redevelopments if there has been no financial evaluation by an
experienced and reputable real estate professional; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council acknowledges there has been recent precedent for having
such evaluations including the appraisal valuations prepared for land that was purchased by the
City of Hoboken for the BASF Park and the Southwest Park, and the economic evaluations and
advice to the City as party to the redevelopment projects known as the Hilton Hotel and the
Western Edge Redevelopment (which includes a hotel) with the former specifically cited by
Mayor Bhalla in his determination of the final proposed agreement; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council is often required to vote on transactions and agreements
involving real property and finds it difficult to assess whether the proposed transaction is
economically fair to the taxpayers of Hoboken without an economic evaluation performed by an
experienced professional; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that it would be both beneficial and necessary to
the residents and taxpayers of Hoboken, the Administration and the City Council, to create a
policy whereby the Administration and the City Council would receive such evaluations in
advance of having to vote on any proposed transaction or agreement involving real property, no
less than ten (10) days prior to the vote; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that such evaluations should include common real
estate analytics including, among others, income forecasts, levered and unlevered IRR
calculations and appraised value calculations using industry standard methodology, and an
assessment of all underlying forecast assumptions including land value (as zoned), construction
costs, expenses, rents and/or cap rates; and,
WHEREAS, Corporation Council has informed the City Council that under the Falkner
Act, the City Council is not allowed to mandate by law (via an ordinance) that the City contract
with an expert for the financial evaluation of real estate related activities; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council encourages the Mayor to have an appropriately qualified
person with specific experience advise and perform economic evaluation of all real property
involved in all transactions in which the City is party to, so that the City Council can make an
informed decisions when it is presented to them and advises the administration that it will have
difficulty approving any matters relating to real property without such analysis.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Hoboken City Council respectfully
requests that an appropriately qualified real estate professional be consulted with and provide the
Council with the above requested evaluations and analyses before the Council is requested to
make decisions related to the above categories of matters.

to conduct an investigative study of the NJ Transit Bus Route 126 current service and provide

findings of the City’s bus route study; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council feels it is appropriate for NJ Transit reimburse the City for
the cost of the study of the NJ Transit Bus Route 126, and by way of this resolution requests the
same; and,
WHEREAS, if NJ Transit chooses not to make meaningful changes to improve 126 bus
service or to reimburse the City for its study, the City Council will take appropriate action and
encourage other providers to supplement bus routes in Hoboken.

requests that NJ Transit reimburse the City of Hoboken for the cost of the study conducted by
Remington & Vernick; and,
