Garden State Preservation Trust Fiscal Year 2012 Annual Report
This is the Annual Report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the Fiscal Year 2012 from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. It has always been the goal and mission of the Garden State Preservation Trust to place preservation first. This has been traditionally measured in the number of acres preserved as parks, nature refuges and farmland. But substantial share of Garden State Preservation Trust funding has gone to recreational development, an elusive metric because the allocations of dollars are not easily sorted into specific parks or projects. In Fiscal Year 2012 this reporting was accomplished and is included in this annual report for the first time. This is to be construed as the full annual report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the 2012 Fiscal Year in compliance with P.L. 1999 C.152 section 8C-15. It is also intended to be a comprehensive summary of required financial reporting from FY2000 through FY2012 – a “one-stop” document of the career of the Garden State Preservation Trust since July 1999. The principal author is Executive Director Ralph Siegel. Special thanks are owed to Bryan Lofberg of the State Agriculture Development Committee, Joseph Lombardo of the NJ Treasury Office of Management & Budget and Eric Knudsen of the NJDEP Office of Green Acres for their crucial assistance. Please note that any errors are the fault of the author.

1. Preservation & Recreation
The Garden State Preservation Trust component programs have preserved 371,000 acres since the year 2000. This represents a land mass larger than Atlantic County or, in the north, Sussex County. This achievement is unparalleled by any state preservation program in the United States. In addition, $419 million has been invested in the development of recreational facilities and the preservation of historic sites in the same period. Land preservation, historic preservation and park development has reached an unprecedented pace under the Garden State Preservation Trust with the additional funding provided by the 2007 and 2009 referendums. Over this period, the GSPT’s component land preservation programs have saved New Jersey’s most precious open lands at a far higher rate than it is being lost to development, and have made sure those recreational lands are put to good use for all residents. All residents benefit from the fact that a third of the dry land mass in New Jersey has been permanently preserved. Most public lands are open to all. Jersey Fresh produce is a benefit to all. In contrast, over-building and unmanaged sprawl ruin landscapes, choke highways and degrade the ecosystem’s ability to cleanse the air and water. These losses threaten the quality of life of every resident, even for those who do happen to live near a forest or farm. But for many, the investment by the Garden State Preservation Trust in their neighborhood parks, riverfronts and cultural institutions of historical significance is most critical interest. In a major city, the refurbishment of small parks in neglected neighborhoods is immeasurably more significant than the preservation of coastal marshland. Recreational development projects have occurred in 191 municipalities with grants totaling $336.5 million since 2000. A stable source of funds over multiple years has enabled Garden State Preservation Trust project dollars to secure acres and recreational assets in the majority of communities in the State. A total of 114 towns have each preserved more than 1,000 acres through multiple programs since 2000. Each of New Jersey’s 21 counties has been profoundly affected by the GSPT’s conservation, agricultural, recreation and historic preservation efforts.
New Jersey, of course, also has historic sites of global importance, from the Crossroads of the American Revolution battlefield sites to the research sites of garden state preservation trust annual report FY2012 You Are Viewing An Archived Copy From the New Jersey State Library 3
Thomas Edison and Alfred Vail. But the truly impressive, important aspect of New Jersey's historic preservation accomplishments is found at the local level: in the 448 historic project sites located in 213 cities and towns in each of our 21 counties. In the past 20 years, the Historic Trust with GSPT funding and with funding from other bond issues has invested $132.2 million in the preservation, restoration and rehabilitation of historic sites. The array of projects in each community represents the values and goals in each community. “Quality of life” and “smart growth” take on unique meaning connected to local values. Each city, town, suburb and village faces localized threats to this vision. Conservation, recreation and historic preservation are important tools to address these concerns. The Garden State Preservation Trust has become the essential financial partner. ______The following pages provide single-page "handout" summaries of the recreational, land conservation and historic preservation achievements in each of the 40 Legislative Districts. They are listed town by town for Green Acres, Farmland Preservation and Historic Preservation under the Garden State Preservation Trust from FY2000 through FY2012. Rural and suburban legislative districts with vast conservation resources have high totals of land acquisitions. Cities and densely suburbanized areas show a focus on endangered historic sites and recreational development in crucial neighborhood parks. Taken in the balance, these statistics show the coordination and unity of effort of myriad GSPT programs pulling together year after year to make all of New Jersey a better place.

2. Financing & Refinancing
The Garden State Preservation Trust has managed one of the most well- funded conservation programs in the history of the 50 states. The dedicated staffs of the conservation and historic preservation agencies did the work to use these funds for natural land and park acquisition, for recreational development and for farmland and historic preservation. The role of the GSPT was on the fiscal side to provide financing, monitor appropriations and keep track of expenditures. The GSPT financing program began when voters on Nov. 3, 1998, approved Public Question #1 to amend the New Jersey Constitution to dedicate $98 million a year from the Sales and Use Tax for land preservation, historic preservation and park development. Under the authority of the constitution, these dedicated funds, plus any bonds issued against these funds, plus any interest earned on the balances of these funds, could be used for no other purpose. The annual dedication of $98 million began in Fiscal Year 2000 and it continues until 2029. It does not expire before then and cannot be changed without another voter referendum. Phase One of the dedication ran from 1999 to 2009. The objective was to use this annual dedication totaling $980 million to fund a 10-year preservation program, including the use of the dedicated funds to finance the issuance of $1 billion in bonds. This was intended to provide $144 million a year for Green Acres and Farmland Preservation projects in each of those 10 years, plus $6 million a year for historic preservation. Phase Two of the dedication runs from 2010 to 2029. During this final 20 years, the constitutionally dedicated funds could only be used for the payment of the debt service in the bonds. The constitution capped the debt service at $98 million. The constitution also stipulated that if less than $98 million was needed in any given year, only the required sum was to be dedicated. This combination of the bond proceeds, the bond premium, the annual dedicated funds and the annual interest earnings on this funds made a total of more than $2 billion available for conservation during the first 10 years, compared with the $1.4 billion the Legislature and Governor had first envisioned. In FY2012, a new refinancing bond issue of $281 million was executed to reduce debt service payments. The GSPT board approved the bond sale on March 28 and the bonds were issued in April, cutting debt-service payments on GSPT bonds by $23 million in FY2012 and FY2013, with additional savings of $3.8 garden state preservation trust annual report FY2012 You Are Viewing An Archived Copy From the New Jersey State Library 48 million through FY2024. This was a significant savings for the State Budget’s debt service burden but could not be applied to conservation projects. Under evolving IRS regulations, the GSPT in FY2012 also developed a Tax Compliance Procedure to ensure proper, legal use of its tax-exempt bond funds. The most common threat of a violation is the use by a private or commercial entity of assets acquired with public tax-exempt funds. The GSPT was one of the first agencies in State Government to draft and develop a procedure in partnership with the State Agriculture Development Committee and the Office of Green Acres. It was adopted by the full board on July 31, 2012. In FY2010, a new funding source came into play with the proceeds of General Obligation bonds authorized by the voters in two ballot referendums totaling $600 million. Combined with GSPT funding provided through the $98 million dedication, these additional ballot referenda meant the taxpayers had committed $2.6 billion for conservation from FY2000 to FY2012. The Legislature extended the GSPT’s fiscal responsibilities to include the management and monitoring of the funds from the $200 million bond referendum approved in November 2007 and the $400 million bond referendum approved in November 2009. Fiscal Year 2012 closed on June 30 with unexpended balances of $220 million in the three Garden State Preservation Trust funds plus $56 million in the 2007 and 2009 Trust Funds. The conservation and preservation agencies are still in the process of expending these funds on hundreds of projects. In addition, projects and grants from old appropriations are cancelled on a regular basis. A grant cancellation makes these funds available for “reallocation” to a new project or grant. These reallocations require the same approval from the GSPT board as a new appropriation.

3. Projects
The Garden State Preservation Trust’s three component agencies – the Office of Green Acres, the State Agriculture Development Committee and the New Jersey Historic Trust – prepared for the final round of new appropriations from the 2009 Bond Fund totaling $178.3 million during FY2012. These appropriations will bring the cumulative appropriations from FY2000 to FY2013 to a landmark total of $2.54 billion for the conservation and historic preservation programs. It maintains the status of the Garden State Preservation Trust as one of the largest land conservation programs in the history of the United States. The Green Acres State Acquisition Program has projects totaling $45 million for FY2013 for natural areas, nonprofit summer camps, historic sites and urban parks, and also for acquisition and development projects in 10 regional project areas, plus $12 million in “Blue Acres” flood property acquisitions. The Green Acres Local Grants program approved applications of $55 million for municipal parks and wildlife areas with grants tailored to recognize the fiscal challenges in urbanized communities and to provide flexibility to “planning incentive” communities with multiple projects and dedicated local funding to support them. New Jersey’s nonprofit land trusts shared $8.9 million in grants designed to fund the best and most viable acquisition and park development projects. The Farmland Preservation Program in Fiscal Year 2012 approved applications for $79.5 million for its multiple program components, with $38.5 million provided to those counties active in preserving farms. The main effort is made through the Planning Incentive Grants of between $500,000 and $1 million to 15 counties with approved farmland preservation plans, giving them the flexibility to apply these funds to their best projects. In addition, a $25 million competitive fund was appropriated for statewide use. These 15 counties can apply for additional funds for a total of up to $5 million each once they have used their base grant. There is also a Planning Incentive Grant (PIG) program for municipalities with approved project areas. In addition, New Jersey’s nonprofit land trusts have also grown in importance as partners in farmland preservation, with grants totaling $4.1 million to enable them to pursue the preservation of targeted farms. garden state preservation trust annual report FY2012 You Are Viewing An Archived Copy From the New Jersey State Library 53
The historic preservation component of the GSPT represents the first stable source of multi-year funding for this program, $60 million over 10 years. The 2007 and 2009 Bond Referenda added $18 million. Since most of these grants are administered as 50-percent matches, the $78 million will leverage investments totaling more than $150 million to protect and preserve the buildings and grounds that constitute New Jersey’s irreplaceable historical heritage. The Historic Trust in FY2012 prepared a comparatively small grant round of $1.4 million in Historic Site Management grants intended to help owners of historic sites develop restorations plans or to improve the visitor experience. The land conservation agencies expended $117 million during FY2012. These expenditures came from multiple sources: $49.1 million from the GSPT trust funds, $14.6 million from the 2007 Bond Referendum trust funds, $35.6 million from the 2007 Bond Referendum trust funds, and $17.6 million from the older 1989, 1992 and 1995 bond funds and “Green Trust” loan repayment funds. On the historic preservation side, the New Jersey Historic Trust expended $4 million during FY2012, paying grant reimbursements to the municipal and nonprofit owners of historic sites which had either completed their projects or had completed major phases. These expenditures came from multiple sources: $2.3 million from the GSPT historic preservation trust fund, $14.6 million from the 2009 Bond Referendum trust fund, $240,000 from the 2007 Bond Referendum trust fund and $21,000 from the older bond funds.

4. Office Budget
The Garden State Preservation Trust during Fiscal Year 2012 received the traditional legislative appropriation of $476,000 for its operating budget to fund payroll, office facilities, supplies and agency operations. Most of this funding was in place as a contingency fund to enable the GSPT to engage professionals to expedite real estate closings in the event that expenditures by conservation agencies fall behind. Most of this appropriation is not used because no expenditure problem occurred. As a result, $313,000 of the GSPT’s total budgeted funds – 66 percent – was not used. There is no “waste” in this MINOR OBJECT ACCOUNTS practice of over-budgeting. The Trust’s SALARIES, WAGES, BENEFITS & PENSION $152,000 office funding is an “off-budget” item 21-PRINTING AND OFFICE $1,000 that comes directly from the GSPT trust 30-TRAVEL $1,000 funds, not from general State revenue. 31-TELEPHONE $2,000 The appropriation for the GSPT is drawn 32-POSTAGE $2,000 from the larger administrative budgets of 34-INFORMATION PROC. EXTERNAL $5,000 TOTAL $163,000 the three funded programs: Green Acres Program, which totaled $5,665,576; the ALL SUMS ROUNDED TO $1,000 BY TREASURY DIV. OF ADMINISTRATION New Jersey Historic Trust, which totaled $241,049, and the Farmland Preservation Program, which totaled $2,824,125. The GSPT office budget is a subset of these totals, and is drawn proportionately from each of them. These administrative budgets, a total of $8.7 million, were approved as part of the State’s FY2012 Appropriations Act signed by the Governor in June 2011. When the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the actual expenditures were totaled and the precise cash sum was drawn from the GSPT trust funds. The entire legislative appropriation is not drawn, only the actual funds expended. Unexpended appropriations are simply never drawn. The unused dollars remain in the GSPT’s trust funds for future conservation appropriations. The Trust through its career has conducted seminars and conferences about policies and practices intended to leverage taxpayer funds. It has also engaged in research on questions that have a direct bearing on the financial side of land conservation.

The Mission The voters of New Jersey from 1998 to 2009 committed an unprecedented $2.7 billion to permanent land preservation, development of recreational resources and the preservation of crucial historic sites in every community. The Garden State Preservation Trust is the independent gatekeeper of those funds. In the realm of conservation and historic preservation, the GSPT board has the specific task of setting financial strategies measuring balances monitoring expenditures reviewing project recommendations approving appropriations advocating policies for the efficient use of funds training preservation agencies on cost reductions
The Garden State Preservation Trust is formed as an independent authority managed by a 9-member board. The five public members are citizen volunteers who are appointed on a bipartisan basis by the Governor, the Senate President and the Assembly Speaker. The four other members are State officials representing major officers of the Governor’s cabinet. New Jersey voters have approved referenda in 1998, 2003, 2007 and 2009 to maintain and expand the funds they want invested in land conservation and historic preservation. These taxpayers have stoutly maintained their generosity during times of high taxes, economic turbulence and political upheaval. The Garden State Preservation Trust mission is premised on maintaining the taxpayers’ confidence that the funds they have approved are used in a manner that is responsible objective balanced efficient The GSPT pursues its mission in close alliance with the Department of Treasury, with State conservation and preservation agencies, and with New Jersey’s fascinating, diverse universe of nonprofit land trusts, conservation organizations, county and local land preservation agencies. New Jersey has been a leader in land preservation for a half-century. This effort reached unprecedented levels under the Garden State Preservation Trust. Today, one third of New Jersey’s dry land mass is permanently preserved as open space – a total acreage that exceeds the size of Grand Canyon National Park – and more land is preserved every year at a rate that outstrips the pace of development.
