2 Yes Has your municipality filed a copy of all current shared service agreements and amendments thereto, for which it provides a shared service, along with the estimated savings for each party, with the Division as required by N.J.S.A. 40A:65-4b (excluding cooperative purchasing agreements governed by the Local Public Contracts Law)?

3 Yes If a final judgment has been entered against the municipality in a legal matter such as a tax appeal, tort claim, or contractual dispute, and there is no further adjudication, or if the municipality reached a final settlement of a legal matter in the past year, has your municipality satisfied its obligations under the final judgment or settlement in a timely fashion pursuant to its terms? This question cannot be answered "Yes" if your municipality has satisfied a judgment or settlement but additional interest and/or other penalties have been imposed for noncompliance with its terms.
