Programs: Historical preservation, environmental protection and public information services
police patrols - working with the new jersey state police and the morris county sheriff's office to add police patrols to the lake at key times when traffic is high and when no patrols would otherwise be taking place. Police were focused on quality-of-life issues, such as speeding, excessive noise, dui, etc.
water quality - prevented a gap in water quality monitoring to keep track of the health of lake hopactong's waters and ensure the lake is eligible for certain storm water management grants. Monitoring continued throughout the summer growing season of 2013, with a detailed quality report generated by the environmental consulting firm at the end of the year.
