Whereas, N.J.S.A. 40A:14-156.1 provides that the governing bodies
of two or more municipalities may by reciprocal ordinances enter into
agreements with each other for mutual police or fire aid in case of

The Chief of the Long Hill Police Department desires to enter
into mutual aid agreements with surrounding police departments.
The Long Hill Township Police Department and most other police
departments have contractual provisions with their officers permitting
off-duty employment, including but not limited to construction traffic
duty, for third parties when such work is provided through the police
department and the officer is paid by the third party.
There are times when there are no local officers available to
perform off-duty traffic duty for third parties.

[Ord. No. 346-15]
a.
Preamble. The State of New Jersey has been engaged in a process to
establish a competitive market place through deregulation and restructuring
the electric utility market and natural gas market.
The establishment of a government aggregator and an energy aggregation
program to purchase electric generation service and natural gas pursuant
to N.J.S.A. 48:3-93.1 et seq. and N.J.A.C. 14:4-6.1 et seq. will increase
competition for the provision of electric power and natural gas to
residential and nonresidential users, thereby increasing the likelihood
of lower electric rates and natural gas rates for these users without
causing any interruption in service.
Under the aggregation process the residential and nonresidential
ratepayers may likely receive a direct reduction in their electric
bills and gas bills.
The Borough of Wharton passed a resolution on June 9, 2014 establishing
an Energy Aggregation Program and thus becoming the Lead Agency and
aggregator of electricity and natural gas pursuant to N.J.S.A. 48:3-91.3
to 98 for all member municipalities to achieve maximum energy cost
savings.
The Borough of Wharton shall only award a contract for service
to consumers where the rate is the same or lower than the price of
basic generation service pursuant to N.J.S.A. 48:3-57 at the time
of award.
The realization of energy cost savings is in the best interest
of all residents of the Township of Long Hill.
The Township of Long Hill's Governing Body has determined that
aggregation could benefit their residents and businesses.
The aggregation consultant administers the bid process at no
risk or cost to the Lead Agency, municipality or consumer.
The Township of Long Hill wishes to join the Morris Area Energy
Cooperative Program in order to realize maximum energy cost savings.
b.
The Township of Long Hill shall participate in the Morris Area Energy
Cooperative pursuant to N.J.S.A. 48:3-93.1 et seq;
c.
The Mayor of the Township of Long Hill be and is hereby authorized
to execute any and all documents necessary to participate in the Morris
Area Energy Cooperative and the Township of Long Hill Municipal Clerk
is hereby authorized to attest to the execution of said documents.
