ORDINANCE NO.:
WHEREAS, currently, the City’s Rent Control ordinance utilizes 1988 as the year from
which any increases in property taxes are calculated for the purposes of the assessment of a tax
surcharge collectable from a tenant; and,
WHEREAS, because of the thirty (30) year gap between 1988 and the present, tax
surcharges can result in a significant additional assessed amount to be added to the allowable
rent even in cases where the landlord has not owned the property since 1988 and thus has not had
to absorb the corresponding tax increases along with the limitations on increasing the base rents,
as imposed in Chapter 155 of the code; and,
WHEREAS, on the other hand, it is recognized that many landlords depend upon the tax
surcharge in order to be able to afford to continue to maintain their rental properties; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to address these issues by maintaining tax
surcharges that are currently in effect as is, but also by limiting the calculation of tax surcharges
moving forward to the actual period of ownership of the property by the landlord so as to make
the tax surcharge more fair to and less onerous on tenants; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council therefore seeks to amend the Rent Control ordinance so
that future tax surcharges will be calculated from either 1988 or the date that a landlord acquired
the property, whichever assessment date is later, as of the effective date of this ordinance; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Hoboken does hereby Ordain as
follows (additions noted in underline, deletions noted in strikethrough):
SECTION ONE: AMENDMENTS TO HOBOKEN CITY CODE CHAPTER 155 “RENT
CONTROL” AT §155-6 “TAX SURCHARGE FROM TENANTS”:
§155-6 Tax Surcharge from tenants.
A. For all tax surcharges that were in effect and current prior to the effective date of this Formatted: Font: Not Bold
ordinance, a landlord may continue to collect a tax surcharge from a tenant in the amount Formatted: Font: Not Bold
heretofore approved for those taxes that are in excess of those assessed for the 1988 tax year. For Formatted: Font: Not Bold
such properties where a tax surcharge was in effect and current prior to the effective date of this
ordinance, a landlord may annually reapply for a new tax surcharge once every twelve months to Formatted: Pattern: Clear
replace the old surcharge. For such properties, if a landlord fails or elects not to annually reapply Formatted: Pattern: Clear
for a tax surcharge, the tax surcharge shall lapse, and should that landlord seek a new tax Formatted: Pattern: Clear
surcharge on that property, the landlord must seek a tax surcharge in accordance with subsection Formatted: Pattern: Clear
C. of this section of the code. The rental increase permitted for taxes is determined, charged, and Formatted: Pattern: Clear
treated in the manner set forth in subsection C., below. A tax surcharge is “current” if the
Formatted: Pattern: Clear
Packet Pg. 29
1.4
landlord has applied for a tax surcharge or reapplied for a new tax surcharge within the past Formatted: Pattern: Clear
twelve months. Formatted: Pattern: Clear
Formatted: Pattern: Clear
B. If properties with tax surcharges in effect and current prior to the effective date of this Formatted: Pattern: Clear
ordinance are sold or otherwise transferred, the new owner/landlord may continue to collect a tax Formatted: Pattern: Clear
surcharge from a tenant in the amount heretofore approved for those taxes in the same manner as
the prior owner, as set forth and in accordance with subsection A., above.
CA. For any application for a tax surcharge after the effective date of this ordinance, a landlord
may seek a tax surcharge to be charged to from a tenant because of an increase in municipal
property taxes if said taxes are in excess of those assessed for the year that the landlord acquired
the property or for the 1988 tax year, whichever assessment date is later. Any such application
for a tax surcharge shall be accompanied by a copy of the deed to the property to establish the
year in which the property was acquired by the landlord for the purpose of determining the tax
surcharge. The rental increase permitted for taxes is determined by the Rent Regulation Officer
pursuant to a formula approved by the Rent Control Board. The rent increase for taxes that each
tenant is liable to pay shall be paid in twelve12 equal monthly payments, 1/12 each month. The
surcharge shall not be considered rent for purposes of computing cost-of-living rental increases.
Determinations under this section shall be made by the Rent Regulation Officer. If an initial
rental decontrol as set forth in § 155-37 occurs, the base year shall be the date of the first paid
four quarters in the taxes after the initial rental decontrol.
D. Tax surcharges are in effect for twelve months. A landlord with a tax surcharge must reapply Formatted: Pattern: Clear
for a new tax surcharge every 12 months. Formatted: Pattern: Clear
Formatted: Pattern: Clear
EB. Notice on standardized form.
(1) The landlord shall, upon approval by the Rent Regulation Officer of its tax surcharge
application, notify its tenants, by personal service, on standardized forms, setting forth:
(2) This notice shall be filed with the Rent Regulation Officer.
FC. Any tax surcharge that has been approved may only be imposed at the commencement of a
lease term or upon renewal of a lease term and must be included in the lease/renewal,
otherwiseor it may not be imposed.
(1) In no case shall the landlord be permitted to impose a tax surcharge without removal
of the pervious tax surcharge.
(2) Nothing herein requires a landlord to impose a tax surcharge or to impose the full
amount of the allowable tax surcharge after having been approved to do so.

repealed, but only to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency, it being the legislative intent

The provisions of this Ordinance are declared to be severable and if any section, subsection,

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

Rate District 2, Westchester County, New York
Since 2009, CDM Smith has been the design engineer for SUEZ Water Westchester (SWW) – Rate District 2’s LTMRP.
To date, CDM Smith has designed and permitted approximately 8,000 linear feet of new water mains and over 7,000
linear feet of cleaning and lining of various sizes on streets in the SWW service area. The table below is a listing of each

Project Schedule
At each stage of the project, City and CDM Smith team managers must know the status of
the project in terms of both budget and schedule. In addition, these managers must be able to
prepare accurate, timely reports for other senior managers to make decisions and to control
the direction of the project. CDM Smith will use a suite of proven project control tools to
monitor and report project health.

Budget Control. It is vital that all project and work task managers know the status of the bud-
get. Our computer-based cost accounting system is organized into a series of reports including
a weekly Current Period Charges Report, a monthly Billing Cost Detail Report, and a monthly
Project Status Report, all of which serve as monitoring aids for cost control.
These tracking tools have also proven to be useful in monitoring the actual amount of work
that is being executed by our team members so that our team maintains its commitments.
Schedule Control. In addition to controlling work task costs, CDM Smith will also pay close
attention to the schedule for execution of each work task. Using the task WBS, CDM Smith will
prepare a work task schedule. Depending on the complexity of the work or the desires of the
City, CDM Smith may use either Microsoft Project or Primavera Project Planner (P3).

management. Schedule float will also be monitored
closely so that decisions taken early in the work
will not have adverse impacts later in the work.
Schedule updates will be done as frequently as
necessary.

Cost Proposal
4 The CDM Smith Team has developed a comprehensive approach to upgrade the
City’s critical drinking water infrastructure. Our approach utilizing both local and
regional specialists who have significant experience with Hoboken’s critical drink-
ing water infrastructure will enabled our Team to develop a high quality, cost
competitive design. By utilizing our proven team of specialists who are intimately
familiar with Hoboken’s drinking water infrastructure, we can deliver an expe-
dited project that exceeds the City’s expectations in a cost-effective manner. As
requested in the RFP, our price proposal has been divided into two components:
Table 4-1 presents the price proposal for the water infrastructure upgrades.
Table 4-2 presents the price proposal for the roadway improvements.

BACKGROUND
Drinking water for the City of Hoboken (City) is purchased from the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority
(JCMUA). The City of Hoboken owns the drinking water distribution system and holds a contract for
public/private partnership and operation, maintenance and management services of the municipal water
system with SUEZ. The distribution system ranges in age from 100 years and older to sections installed in
2017, and the pipe sizes range from 4” to 30.”
SUEZ contracted CDM Smith to conduct an evaluation of the Hoboken system in 2016. The evaluation
developed a risk-based prioritization of system improvement projects, considering historical main breaks,
age, hydraulic criticality, and fire flows, among other factors. CDM Smith’s evaluation, prepared for SUEZ,
did not consider ongoing and planned redevelopment activities (i.e., approved or proposed
redevelopment plans), or local utility improvement activities (i.e., PSE&G upgrades, roadway
improvements). Subsequently, the City contracted with Louis Berger to balance the findings of the CDM
Smith evaluation with more recent water main break data, development information, and local utility
improvements obtained from the City and relevant external agencies. The City utilized both studies to
produce a priority list of locations for water system renewal. See Attachment A, City of Hoboken Water
System Renewal Program. The Water System Renewal Program includes 67 water main replacement
locations is shown in Section 2 of Attachment A. The first phase of the City’s Water System Renewal
Program includes 11 of the 67 water main replacement locations, which are anticipated to be constructed
in early 2019.
Attachment: Prequalified Firms_RFP_Water Main Replacement_FINALrev2 (CDM Smith Contract - Engineering Design Water Main Upgrades
This project is the second phase of the City’s Water System Renewal Program. It includes 12 of the 67
water main replacement locations (see Table 1, Figure 1). The project will upgrade the existing water
mains in these segments to meet current standards, including the expansion of any 6” mains to 8” mains,
and upgrade service lines and valve boxes from the water mains to the curb stops. Following the water
infrastructure upgrades, the associated roadways will be resurfaced from curb to curb with roadway
improvements to meet current standards and the City’s complete streets policy.
The City Council approved bond ordinance 17-340, Z-497 and will seek a low-interest loan from the New
Jersey I-Bank to fund this project.

WHEREAS, the Hoboken City Council believes that effective communication is critical

WHEREAS, the City of Hoboken contracts with a company called Everbridge Nixel to
use their Nixel platform to provide important notifications to residents in our community; and
WHEREAS, Nixel describes their service on their website as “One Software Platform

limitations to the type of information that can be communicated via its system and specifically
PROHIBITS certain information from being communicated that can broadly be described as
abuse, harassment, political, or misleading; and
WHEREAS, under its Terms of Service, Nixel, among its other remedies, can block
access to their services to any user in violation of the Terms of Service; and
WHEREAS, the City of Hoboken has historically used this system to provide emergency
alerts, traffic related matters, community events and other matters that directly affect residents of
Hoboken; and
WHEREAS, on January 10th (Mayor Bhalla Veto Statement) and January 11th (Update
from Mayor Bhalla regarding Southwest Redevelopment Plan), the City of Hoboken issued
communications through the Nixel system that violated the following provisions of the Terms of
Service:
- The messages sent using the Nixel service were used to publicly harass and offend other
elected officials, despite Nixel’s terms of service prohibiting acting in any" unwanted,
threatening, harassing, abusive or offensive manner" (“Conduct”, section a).
- The messages sent using the Nixel service were used for a political purpose, despite Nixel’s
terms of service prohibiting "use any of the Services for political, commercial or advertising
purposes" (“Conduct”, section b).
- The messages sent using the Nixel service accused elected members of the city's government of
breaking the law, despite Nixel’s terms of service stating that a user may not "post ….
anything… harmful, tortious, defamatory,…libelous,…” (Conduct”, section c), “discuss,
incite or otherwise solicit illegal activity" (“Conduct”, section h) and “transmit fraudulent,
deceptive, or misleading communications….” (“Conduct”, section K).

harassing, defamatory,…or otherwise objectionable material of any kind, including, but
not limited to, any material that… give rise to civil liability..” (“Prohibited
Communications”, section (i)).
- The message sent on Jan 10 using the Nixel service was a clear political attack on City Council

service prohibiting users from "expressing a political or other similar message" (“Prohibited
Communications”, section (ix)).
- The message sent on Jan 11 using the Nixel service was a clear political attack on City Council
members, with no basis other than for political purpose, despite Nixel’s service prohibiting users
from "expressing a political or other similar message" (“Prohibited Communications”,
section (ix)).
WHEREAS, a number of City Council members received complaints from residents who
expressed their opposition to using the Nixel alert system for the type of political propaganda
that was used in the subject messages; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that a system that is paid for by taxpayers should
not be used for political attacks, propaganda or personal statements from the mayor; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is concerned that the actions of the mayor and/or his staff
with regards to the Nixel communications on January 10th and January 11th have jeopardized the
ability for the City of Hoboken to provide necessary and helpful communications to the residents
of and visitors to Hoboken.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of

employee to abuse the Nixel service and breach the Terms of Service under its contractual
agreement with Everbridge Nixel and to stop putting communications with our community at
risk; additionally the City of Council also requests that this resolution be sent to the appropriate
department at Nixel.

seeking the support of these council members for Carepoint Health’s acquisition of the former
Hoboken University Medical Center; and,
WHEREAS, in this letter, Carepoint Health made certain commitments to these council
members to address their stated concerns regarding the acquisition, and invited them to select a
member to serve on HUMC OPCO’s Board of Directors (“the Board”); and,
WHEREAS, with respect to the reservation of a board seat for these council members,
the letter stated that: “This role will ensure that the Council will have full access to information,
[the] ability to participate in major policy developments, and [be able] to help guide the Hospital
through the restructuring it needs to ensure its survival”; and,
WHEREAS, ultimately, the City Council did approve of the hospital sale; and,

Eduardo Gonzalez, who has participated in Board meetings; and,
WHEREAS, it is the City Council’s understanding that, in June 2018, Mr. Gonzalez was

follows and are dependent upon the type of monthly pass purchased, which are based upon the
frequency and times the resident will be utilizing the parking garage:
Garage B Garage D
Resident monthly standard $235 $185
Resident monthly limited $180 $140
Resident monthly reserved $310 $235
(1) Resident monthly standard: Residents may park their car in unreserved spaces of the garage
24/7 on a first-come, first-served basis.

a first-come, first-served basis, except from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Residents may park from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday for two days per
month ("24/7 days") and any unused 24/7 days may accrue during the months in which the
resident holds a valid resident monthly limited parking pass. For example, if the resident does
not utilize the two 24/7 days in January, they would be entitled to four 24/7 days in February.

during a special event, in which case the parking rate and time increment shall be determined by

A. Upon the effective date of this ordinance, with the exception of the City of Hoboken
and/or its agents, no person or entity shall install or maintain any improvements or
appurtenances of any kind in, over, or upon any sidewalk, street, public lane, alley, or
other public ground without first obtaining a revocable consent from the Department of

MEMORANDUM
Date: 11/26/2018
Subject: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 168 “STREETS AND SIDEWALKS” OF THE CODE OF
THE CITY OF HOBOKEN TO PERMIT ENCROACHMENTS BY REVOCABLE CONSENT
City Council members have requested criteria and a streamlined process for licensing of encroachments over
the public right-of-way. This ordinance is intended to provide standards and a process to address the
following issues:
Design Standards: Several property owners have expressed interest in having design standards that will
provide guidance to their builders and architects so they know what will and won’t be approved even before
they submit plans. This ordinance provides these design standards.
Timeline and Process: Property owners are unclear of the review timeline and process. This ordinance
would streamline the process with set standards for obtaining revocable consent. Applicants won’t have to
wait weeks for approval while the license is prepared, submitted for City Council approval, reviewed without
criteria, and (if approved) processed for executing signatures.
Fee Schedule: The City has received feedback from many applicants that they understand there may be a
fee, yet they welcome the standards so they know what they can have approved and at what cost. The fee
schedule makes it clear to all parties involved, up front.
Maintenance of the Public’s Rights and Ownership: While each encroachment taken by itself doesn’t have a
significant impact on the right-of-way, the combination of encroachments and the unauthorized creep of
structure elements has substantially affected pedestrian egress on many streets. By adopting design
standards and fees, the City establishes ownership and boundaries for use of public space and the process
