CURRENT VERSION OF TEXT

     As reported by the Assembly Transportation, Public Works and Independent Authorities Committee on June 14, 2010, with amendments.

  

An Act designating the highway ramp off of State Highway Route No. 23 at Alps Road in Wayne Township as the "Gregory F. Velardi, Sr., Ramp."

 

Whereas, Gregory F. Velardi, Sr., joined the Property Owner League (P.O.L.) Fire Company No. 2 on February 5, 1956, and has faithfully served the Township of Wayne for over 50 years; and

Whereas, During those years, Mr. Velardi served Wayne as a volunteer firefighter and captain in P.O.L. Fire Company No. 2, and in various other capacities, including as a member of two building committees and the Fair Committee; and

Whereas, Mr. Velardi continues to be an active member and Trustee of P.O.L. Fire Company No. 2; and

Whereas, In addition to being a "Life Member" of his fire company, Mr. Velardi is also a "Life Member" of the New Jersey State Firemen's Association and the New Jersey State Exempt Firemen's Association; and

Whereas, It is altogether fitting and proper that the State of New Jersey honor the request of the membership of P.O.L. Fire Company No. 2 that the highway ramp off of State Highway Route No. 23 at Alps Road, which is located near the P.O.L. Fire Company No. 2 quarters, be named the "Gregory F. Velardi, Sr., Ramp" in recognition of his years of dedicated service to the Township of Wayne; now, therefore,

     2.    No State or other public funds shall be used for producing, purchasing, or erecting signs ¹bearing the designation established¹ pursuant to section 1 of this act.  The Commissioner of Transportation is authorized to receive gifts, grants, or other financial ¹[aid in any form from any private source for the purpose of funding the costs associated with producing, purchasing, and erecting signs pursuant to section 1 of this act] assistance from private sources for the purpose of funding or reimbursing the Department of Transportation for the costs associated with producing, purchasing, and erecting signs bearing the designation established pursuant to section 1 of this act and entering into agreements related thereto, with such private sources, including but not limited to non-governmental non-profit, educational or charitable entities or institutions.  No work shall proceed, and no funding shall be accepted by the Department of Transportation until an agreement has been reached with a responsible party for paying the costs associated with producing, purchasing, erecting and maintaining the signs¹.
