As the Committee is working on constructing a list of properties for
open space acquisitions and Trails Plan Implementation, special meetings
will be held as well as those meetings listed.
The Open Space/Recreation Committee was established in 2000 through
Article Three of Chapter 5 "Open Space Committee" of the Code
of the Borough of Hopatcong. In 1999 the voters of the Borough authorized
a one-cent per $100 of assessed valuation of each annual tax levy commencing
with the year 2000 to be placed in an "Open Space and Recreation
Fund". The Committee is charged with the preparation of an Open
Space and Recreation Plan and with recommending to the Mayor and Council
the use of the "Open Space and Recreation Fund". The Plan
has been completed and accepted. The Planning Board has also adopted
it as an element of the Borough Master Plan. The Open Space/Recreation
Committee consists of an eight member committee, consisting of the Mayor
and a resident-at-large appointed by the Mayor, and six members appointed
by the Council consisting of a council member, a member of the Planning
Board, a member of the Zoning Board, a member of the Environmental Commission,
a member of the Recreation Commission and a resident-at-large. The Committee
elects a chairperson, a vice-chairperson and a secretary. The Borough
provides a recording secretary. On the occasion of a tie vote, the chairperson
is given an extra vote to break the tie.
