Title: Adopting a Green Grounds and Maintenance Policy

 

WHEREAS, across New Jersey, municipalities are facing rising costs at the same time as attempting to respond to significant environmental challenges; and

 

WHEREAS, municipally maintained parks, gardens and landscaped areas are some of the very sites where these environmental challenges are met; and

 

WHEREAS, the maintenance of those grounds is the operation by which some of those challenges are met, and where costs are incurred; and

 

WHEREAS, effective and affordable grounds maintenance is a function of sustainable practices that are rooted in the principles of conservation and efficiency; and

 

WHEREAS, adoption of a Green Grounds and Maintenance Policy will articulate a set of operational guidelines that abide by those principles,

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Council of the Borough of Hillsdale to adopt the Green Grounds and Maintenance Policy.
