PUBLIC PORTION

Jay Dunham, resident of Oak Ridge and Councilman of Jefferson Township,asked the Board what will happen to the Mosquito Commission since it will bereorganized under the Public Works Department. Director Mastrangelo saidthat the Commission is being integrated into the Department of Public Works,and it is more of an organizational structure that the County is creating todrive some cost savings, but will give some additional benefits to thecontrol of the mosquitoes. The public will continue to see communityoutreach.

Michael Sanchelli, resident of Oak Ridge and Councilman of JeffersonTownship, said the biggest concern is that the Commission itself is made upof directors and other health officials. His concern is in the event thereare on-going updates in changes, will this advisory board be “on call.”Mr. Sanchelli also asked if members of this board will be appointed.Director Mastrangelo said we appreciate all levels of volunteers throughoutthe County so whether advisory board or commission, there are stillvolunteers that will continue to serve the County well.

Director Cabana said we took over the Board of Social Services, andthere were several concerns from the public at that time. The Countycombined social services with human services, and Freeholder Cabana feels itis better than ever now.

James Perrier, volunteer with Milton Township EMT expressed concernsabout the EMT training at Morris County. Scott DiGiralomo, Director of Lawand Public Safety, said that Atlantic Healthcare’s position is that theydon’t get reimbursed. Mr. DiGiralomo’s suggestion is to work through theMunicipal Alliance so they can look at all the options. Director Mastrangelosaid if the Township sends a letter to the Board, the freeholders can writeto our legislators to help resolve this situation.
