Bill > A2959

Introduced Session

This bill designates the Morris Plains rail station in recognition of the Honorable Frank J. Druetzler to commemorate his outstanding service to Morris Plains and Morris County. Under the bill, the Morris Plains rail station will be renamed the "Frank J. Druetzler Station - Morris Plains, New Jersey." During his 38 year public service career, Frank J. Druetzler was an exemplary Councilman, Mayor and Freeholder for Morris Plains and Morris County. As Mayor for 32 years, Frank J. Druetzler established many community events, memorials and centers, including the annual Memorial Day parade, "Family Day" on the Fourth of July, a 9/11 memorial and a community center. As a freeholder for 15 years, Frank J. Druetzler was involved in several successful projects, including the construction of a $32 million, state-of-the-art correctional facility in Morris Township and the expansion and renovation of the county juvenile center and human services building. Consistent with current practice, the bill provides that State or other public funds are not to be used for producing, purchasing, or erecting signs bearing the designation for the "Frank J. Druetzler Station - Morris Plains, New Jersey." The Executive Director of the New Jersey Transit Corporation is authorized to receive financial assistance from private sources for the costs associated with producing, purchasing, erecting, and maintaining signs bearing the designation.
