anticipated charges against the account to Thirty-Five (35%) or less of the original amount.
b.

If the professional escrow account falls below Thirty-Five (35%) of the initial escrow deposit, or
the escrow contains insufficient funds to enable the Borough or Joint Land Use Board to perform
required application reviews or improvement inspections, the Joint Land Use Board shall provide
the applicant with a notice of the insufficient escrow or deposit balance. In order for work to
continue on the development or the application, the applicant shall within a reasonable time
period, Ten (10) days, post a deposit to the account in an amount up to One Hundred Percent
(100%) of initial escrow amount. The amount required to replenish the professional escrow
account shall be determined at the discretion of the Joint Land Use Board. Failure to deposit the
required amount to replenish the escrow shall serve as grounds for the denial or dismissal without
prejudice of the application.

c. No further action shall be taken by the Joint Land Use Board, the Professionals
employed by the Board, or the Borough until such time as the applicant
replenishes the escrow account as required by the Board. No site plan or
subdivision shall be signed, nor shall any zoning permits, building permits,
certificates of occupancy, inspections, or any other types of permits be issued
with respect to the application until the professional escrow account is replenished
in full.
d. Failure to post sufficient escrow as required by the Joint Land Use Board shall toll
the period for action by the Board as required by N.J.S.A., 40:55D-1, et Seq.,
N.J.S.A. 40:55D-51, and N.J.S.A. 40:55D-73, thereby barring an applicant from
seeking a default approval pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-10.4.

e. If the professional escrow account fund is depleted after the final disposition of
the application before the Joint Land Use Board, and professional service charges
remain outstanding, the applicant shall pay additional escrow funds to the
Borough upon demand and within Ten (10) days written notice from the Board.
The failure to pay the demanded funds timely subsequent to final disposition of
the application before the Board, shall result in the voiding of any prior approvals.
The Board shall provide written notice of the voiding of the approvals to the
applicant. All outstanding professional fees and costs incurred by the Joint Land
Use Board as a result of the application shall serve as a lien on the property
subject of the application and shall be collectible as in the case of delinquent
municipal taxes. The Board shall provide a certification to the governing body
setting forth with specificity the amounts due and owing by the applicant. The
governing body may adopt a resolution to lien the property subject of the
application in the amount certified by the Joint Land Use Board. All balances due
and owning from an applicant post-disposition by the Board shall bear interest at
a rate of One and One-half percent (1.5%) per month.

the professional escrow account maintained by the Borough. The applicant shall

written request by the business administrator. The applicant shall be responsible
for all costs incurred by the Borough in preparation of the escrow account
inspection.

and invoices submitted by the professional personnel to ensure the services have

performed and billed properly, and that the time and expenses claimed are
reasonable under the circumstances. At such time as the Borough reviews and
approves the professional invoice or bill, payment shall be tendered to the professional
from the professional escrow account
c. A copy of all invoices and bills submitted to the Borough by professionals to be paid from the
professional escrow account shall be simultaneously copied to the applicant by the submitting
professional. In the event an applicant believes the fees or costs charged by a professional are
unreasonable, the applicant may file a written objection to the professional service invoice or
bill, or any part thereof. The objection must be received by the Borough within five (5) calendar
days after receipt by the applicant of the invoice or bill. The objection must be in writing and
shall be served upon the professional whose service fees or costs are being challenged, the
Board Secretary, and the Borough Business Administrator. The objection shall contain a concise
statement of the basis for the objection. Failure by the applicant to file a timely written objection
shall be deemed a waiver by the applicant of any objection or challenge concerning the fees and

costs charged in a particular invoice, and there shall be no subsequent challenge allowable to the
applicant on the specific charges contained therein.
d. Upon receipt of an objection, the Borough, or its designee, shall within a Ten (10) day period
attempt to mediate any disputed charges. If the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of the
applicant within that time, the applicant may appeal to the County Construction Board of
Appeals the disputed charges from the municipal professional or consultant, or the costs of the
installation of improvements estimated by the municipal engineer, in accordance with N.J.S.A.
40:55d-53.2a.

§ 190-94 CHANGE OF APPLICANT OR DEVELOPER; SUBSTITUTED ESCROW

In the event of the sale or transfer of the property subject of the application, or a
change in the identity of the applicant, all funds held in the professional escrow
account shall remain and inure to the benefit of the application and shall transfer to the
new owner/applicant unless the initial applicant provides written notice to the Board
prior to such change, transfer or sale that the initial applicant shall retain ownership
rights in the escrow. In the event that such notice is received by the Board, then no
further action shall be taken by the Board, the professionals in the employ of the
Board, or the Borough on the application until such time as the new or subsequent
owner or applicant has established a professional escrow account in an amount to
be determined by the Board, and executes a new professional escrow agreement for
the application. The applicant initiating the application shall remain responsible for
payment and replenishment of all escrow deposits for professional service fees and
costs until such time as the substituting applicant deposits the required funds for the
professional escrow and executes their own escrow agreement.
§ 190-95 INTEREST ALLOCATION
a. Whenever an amount of money in excess of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) shall be
deposited by an applicant in the professional escrow account, the interest generated thereon,
except as otherwise provided in this section, shall continue to be the property of the applicant.
b. The Borough shall not refund an amount of interest paid on a deposit which does not exceed One
Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for the year. If the amount of interest exceeds One Hundred Dollars
($100.00), that entire amount shall belong to the applicant and shall be refunded to the applicant
by the Borough, except that the Borough may retain for administrative expenses in a sum
equivalent to Thirty-Three and One-Third percent (33 1/3%) of the entire amount of the interest
generated on the account.

§ 190-96 RETURN OF UNUSED ESCROW FUNDS
If the amount of the deposit exceeds the actual cost as approved for payment by the
Borough, the applicant shall be entitled to a return of the excess with such interest as
allowed by N.J.S.A. 40:55d-53.1. Unused escrow funds may be held for a minimum of 180
days from the date of a final decision by the Board. After the 180 day period, the Borough shall
refund to the applicant any excess in the professional escrow account, along with any
interest which may be due to the applicant.

and provisions of this ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistencies.
SECTION 4. Severability. In the event that any section paragraph, clause phrase, term,
