Ordinance #16.082 requires cer-

tain employers of non-managerial

service employees to follow certain

procedures when a property is sold,

control is transitioned from one entity

to another, or a service contract is

terminated or cancelled. Any suc-

cessor firm for building services con-

tracts must retain the employees of the

terminated firm for at least 90 days.

At the end of this 90 day period,

the employer must provide a written

evaluation of the employee, and must

retain that employee if the employee

receives a satisfactory evaluation.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE...

from page 9.

Certainly there are interests deserv-

ing of the protection proposed by

these ordinances; however, if adopt-

ed, these ordinances will significantly

reduce the discretion which associa-

tions now have in engaging service

employees. CAI-NJ has joined with

several industry associations in oppos-

ing these ordinances. The LAC is fol-

lowing the ordinances in light of their

inevitable financial and operational

impact upon property managers and

community associations.

H.R. 1301.

In closing, a com-

promise has been reached on H.R.

1301, which would have prohib-

ited community associations from

imposing a blanket prohibition on the

installation of ham radio antennas.

CAI has advocated for the ability to

impose such a prohibition in the con-

text of the governance of community

associations; however, such prohibi-

tions were opposed by the ham radio

lobby intent on ensuring amateur

radio communications in the event of

a local disaster.

As part of the compromise, anten-

nas are not allowed to be installed

on common property. A community

association may adopt and enforce

reasonable written rules concerning

the installation, placement, and aes-

thetic impact of exterior antennas.

Notification and prior approval of

antenna installations is required.
