The first section of the plan shall be a water and sewer subplan where necessary. The water and sewer subplan shall provide a detailed blueprint for the separation of storm drains from the sewer system throughout the municipality, which improvements shall be completed within four years. In addition, the water and sewer subplan shall coordinate the overlay of municipal roads following the separation of underground lines and designate those roads which require reconstruction and allocate administrative and financial responsibility among various agencies for effectuating the plan. Funds shall be earmarked by the appropriate State agencies from the "Transportation Trust Fund Account," created pursuant to section 20 of P.L.1984, c.73 (C.27:1B-20) and the "New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust" created pursuant to section 4 of P.L.1985, c.334 (C.58:11B-4), in order to accomplish the work plan set forth in the water and sewer subplan. The capital improvement and infrastructure plan shall include those features of the municipal capital improvement program authorized pursuant to section 20 of P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-29). In addition, the plan shall specifically incorporate: a time frame for making any improvements necessary in the public water system to accommodate proposed redevelopment in the municipality and surrounding areas; a parks and open public space subplan which encompasses projects to improve the streetscapes, parks, public spaces, and any other relevant aspects of the public environment; and an analysis of public building needs, including administrative offices of the municipality, firehouses, police stations, libraries, and any other municipal government functions in light of the organizational and functional analysis of municipal government operations contained in the municipal management study. The capital improvement and infrastructure plan shall recognize the plans of the county in which the qualified municipality is situated, any regional authorities with jurisdiction in the municipality, the State Department of Transportation, the New Jersey Transit Corporation, any State universities situated within the municipality, and any other public and nonprofit entities which operate in the municipality. Any municipal plan which affects the physical development of the municipality and is adopted by the municipality or any agency or instrumentality thereof after the adoption of the capital improvement and infrastructure plan shall be consistent with that plan. b. The capital improvement and infrastructure plan shall be adopted upon an affirmative vote of a majority of the full authorized membership of the board. L.2002,c.43,s.42.
