Department updates

As a result of two NJ department eliminations the below is being noted on the original department posts.  The quotes were gathered from current the NJ Budget.

Abolished-NJ Commerce Commission Department.

“The Urban Enterprise Zone Authority was transferred to the Department of Community Affairs from the New Jersey Commerce Commission in fiscal year 2009.”

Also, most business activities formally under the Commerce Commission were transferred to the Economic Development Authority (EDA) - in, but not of the Treasury Department.

Abolished-NJ Department of Personnel

“The Civil Service Commission was created in fiscal year 2009 pursuant to P.L.2008, c.29.  For comparison purposes, evaluation data from fiscal years 2007, 2008, and 2009 were transferred from the Department of Personnel [to Labor & Workforce].”

“The Human Resource Development Institute and Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action programs were transferred from the Department of Personnel in fiscal year 2009 and consolidated into the Department of Treasury as the Workforce Initiatives and Development program.”

Note that the Department of Personnel was never posted but the information above is included for historical purposes.

Position Data

Position data can be a challenge, as measurements by various departments have their own concerns in mind.  The Office of Management & Budget (in Treasury) would be interested in employees who are on the payroll at the time of a certain period.  For personnel measurements, the concern would center on employees who are active and inactive, seasonal and intermittent, and per diem (per day) during a certain period.  Personnel numbers would always be more if these variables exist.

The following position data, from the NJ Budget, are being added to the original department posts.

Work in progress-NJ Structure

Before continuing on the massive outlines of the structure of New Jersey (all filed under Branches/Departments/Divisions) a brief update and informational statement is in order.  All of the departments are posted.  We will call this the first round.

Departments are part of the Executive (Governor) branch of government.  The Governor’s office,  and Legislative and Judicial branches are yet to be posted.  Before continuing on I will be going back and enhancing and updating the earlier departments.  Links will be checked, and structural components, for any changes made by the state.  New information and enhancements will also be added.  Notice will be made when such changes are made.

The project began as a ‘brain child’ of Steve Lonegan and from there I was willing to tackle the work.  The original visual behind the outlines was the “Wall of Pork” which has been publicly viewed a couple of times.

I welcome comments, corrections, and suggestions on this project as the goal is to create the most concise information and user friendly summary possible.

It certainly continues to be a very educational venture and the more that is seen the more I expose that the State of New Jersey is full of its own very expensive fiefdoms (aka: authorities, boards, commissions, etc), that should be eliminated.

But instead of cleaning its own house others are being targeted, such as small municipalities and small school boards.   More often than not, these are simply used as scapegoats and are being targeted, and ‘picked-off’ for elimination by the state.

••MUNICIPAL AID
“In the municipal aid program, funds are appropriated by the Legislature for municipalities in each county based on a formula contained in legislation. Additionally, $5M is allotted for those municipalities that qualify for Urban Aid. Urban Aid is distributed by a formula that is computed by the Department of Community Affairs.”
•STATE AID FOR JERSEY CITY & NEWARK
“In addition to the Municipal Aid, Jersey City and Newark are allocated funds not less
than their combined total of 1984 apportioned Federal Aid Urban System funds and state
match including their portion of any non-attributable funds made available to Small Urban
Areas.”
•COUNTY AID
“County Aid funds are appropriated by the Legislature annually for the improvement of public roads and bridges under county jurisdiction. Public transportation and other transportation projects are also included. Counties are allotted funds not less than their combined total of 1984 apportioned Federal Aid Urban System funds and State match including their portion of any non-attributable funds made available to Small Urban Areas. The minimum allotment is $300,000.”
•CENTERS OF PLACE

The program provides an opportunity to apply for funds to support non-traditional transportation improvements that advance municipal growth management objectives.
·Is a designated center with boundaries designated by the State Planning Commission (SPC).
·Has a Strategic Revitalization Plan and Program approved by the SPC.
·Is within an endorsed urban complex consisting of two or more municipalities and a designated center in the Metropolitan Planning Area.

Pinelands Towns and Villages are now receiving treatment equivalent to State Plan designated Centers in this program, in accordance with an agreement signed in June 1999 by the Pinelands Commission and the State Planning Commission.”
•DISCRETIONARY FUNDING (LOCAL AID INFRASTRUCTURE)
“Subject to funding appropriation, a Local Aid Infrastructure Fund is established to address emergencies and regional needs throughout the State. Any county or municipality may apply at any time.
These projects are approved at the discretion of the Commissioner. Payment of project costs is the same as the Municipal Aid Program. Under this program a county or municipality may also apply for funding for pedestrian safety and bikeway projects.”
•BIKEWAYS
“The New Jersey Department of Transportation’s Bikeway Grant Program provides funds to counties and municipalities to promote bicycling as an alternate mode of transportation in New Jersey. A primary objective of the Bikeway Grant Program is to support the State’s goal of constructing 1,000 new miles of dedicated bike paths (facilities that are physically separated from motorized vehicular traffic by an open space or barrier either within the highway right of way or within an independent right of way). In an effort to establish regionally connected bicycle networks, this program is available to every municipality and county throughout New Jersey. Although priority will be given to construction of new bike paths, the proposed construction or delineation of any new bicycle facility will be considered.”
•HISTORIC BRIDGE PRESERVATION
“The Historic Bridge Preservation Program is designed to provide funding to county governments for minor repair and enhanced maintenance projects to prolong the life span of New Jersey’s historic bridges. Historic bridges are an important and good visual reminder of New Jersey’s transportation heritage. This program will provide incentives to county governments to help prevent the loss of these important historic resources.
The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) has programmed $500,000 in its Fiscal Year 2009 Transportation Capital Program for this program. The program will provide 100% state funding for small scale projects.”
•SAFE STREETS & NEIGHBORHOODS
“The New Jersey Department of Transportation’s (NJDOT) Safe Streets and Neighborhoods program is designed to provide funding to eligible cities and municipalities for Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) that will allow communities to better manage congestion and incidents at key intersections, improve transportation mobility, efficiency and safety, and provide timely information to emergency operation centers through the installation and integration of traffic and surveillance cameras.”
•SAFE STREETS TO TRANSIT
“On September 18, 2006, Governor Corzine announced a comprehensive Pedestrian Safety Initiative. One element of that initiative administered by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) is the Safe Streets to Transit (SSTT) program. This program provides funding to counties and municipalities in improving access to transit facilities and all nodes of public transportation. The objectives of the SSTT program are:
·To improve the overall safety and accessibility for mass transit riders walking to transit facilities.
·To encourage mass transit users to walk to transit stations.
·To facilitate the implementation of projects and activities that will improve safety in the vicinity of transit facilities (approximately one-half mile for pedestrian improvements).”
•TRANSIT VILLAGE

“The New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act (N.J.S.A. 34:11-56.25 et seq.) requires that the Department of Labor and Workforce Development establish and enforce a prevailing wage level for workers engaged in public works in order to safeguard their efficiency and general well being and to protect them as well as their employers from the effects of serious and unfair competition.”
