  1. The Township of Jackson requests the printing upon said general election ballot the following explanatory statement of the proposition question presented:
  2. “In 2001, the voters of Jackson Township authorized the establishment of the Township’s Open Space Trust Fund and the imposition of an open space tax equal to 1.5 cents per $100.00 of equalized valuation. Thereafter, in 2004, the voters of Jackson Township authorized the increase of said open space tax to 3 cents per $100.00 of equalized valuation.
  3. Said tax is currently collected at the rate of 2 cents per $100.00 of equalized valuation, and a “yes” vote on this question would reconfirm the wishes of the Township’s voters to provide for an open space tax at the rate of 3 cents per $100.00 of equalized valuation while permitting said funds to be utilized for the acquisition, development, maintenance, preservation and payment of debt service for conservation, recreation, farmland and historic properties and structures. The increase would fund additional acquisitions and improvements of open space by the Township.”
  4. The Township Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to forward a certified true copy of this Resolution to the County Clerk of the County of Ocean on or before August 14, 2020.
  5. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon adoption.
