HER COMMENTS AS WELL. SO OFF TO YOU, MA'AM. ALL RIGHT. SO UPDATES FROM FOR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. WE PARTICIPATED IN THE FPS WIND SURVEY. THAT'S ONGOING CURRENTLY. AND SO WE'RE EXCITED THAT MONTGOMERY IS A PART OF THAT. IT'S A SURVEY TO, YOU KNOW, COLLECT INFORMATION ON THE GOVERNMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE AS WELL AS COLLECT INFORMATION ON ANY CHALLENGES AND NEEDS FOR THE LOCAL. FROM THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS OR HEALTH DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SO ONCE THOSE RESULTS ARE FINALIZED AND SHARED, I'LL BE SURE TO, YOU KNOW, SEND THAT INFORMATION TO YOU ALL.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO WE'RE USING AN ONLINE APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING SYSTEM. I'M NOT SURE IF ANY OF YOU HAVE USED THAT. BUT IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN WORKING WELL AND WE'RE HOPING TO GET OUR IMMUNIZATION INFLUENZA ON A ROLL WITH THE NEW JERSEY STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT FOR THIS YEAR. AS WELL. WE ALSO DID VOTE IN VAX HERE AT THIS BUILDING. THE LAST TUESDAY NOW. AND IT WAS VERY WELL ATTENDED.WE HAD OVER 50 PEOPLE COME OUT. SO JUST TO GET THEIR FLU VACCINE. SO WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO VOTE IN VAX. INITIATIVE THREE. WE'VE BEEN BEEN CONTINUING TO DO OUR MONTHLY BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS AT THE SENIOR CENTER, WHICH WERE VERY WELL RECEIVED. IN THE PAST, EMS USED TO ACTUALLY WE USED TO HAVE I THINK PATTI FROM EMS GO OUT TO DO THOSE BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS AND WE'RE HOPING TO EXPAND ON THAT INITIATIVE. JOE HAD BROUGHT UP THE NEED FOR SOME TYPE OF INITIATIVE WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS IN TOWN. SO WE'RE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE WORKING ON. AND I THINK THE INITIATIVE THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT REALLY, IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIREFIGHTERS KNOW THEIR BASELINE BLOOD PRESSURES. SO THE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES CAN DEFINITELY HELP WITH THAT. THEY CAN EVEN HELP GO OUT AND DO SOME EDUCATION. AND THEN WE CAN SET SOMETHING UP WHERE THERE CAN BE LIKE A SELF-GUIDED, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN JUST CHECK YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE. PERIODICALLY AND JUST KIND OF MAKE NOTE OF IT. AND THE TRACKER THING THAT THEY HAVE.
WE'VE BEEN DOING OUR INFECTION CONTROL TRAININGS AT STONEBRIDGE AS PART OF THE PROJECT. FIRST LINE INFECTION CONTROL TRAINING AND WE WANT TO EXPAND OUR INFECTION CONTROL TRAINING TO
[00:05:04]
OUR CHILD CARE CENTERS. AND ALSO PROVIDE EDUCATION ON THE IMPORTANCE OF VACCINES AND THE VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS IN THE STATE. WE HAVE BEEN SEEING AN INCREASE IN RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS. SO WE THAT DOES MAKE US NERVOUS. WE PARTICIPATED IN THE WALK FOR WELLNESS THIS PAST SATURDAY. WE IT WAS AT THE VETERANS PARK. WE HAD A RUTGERS COOPERATIVE EXTENSION DIETICIAN REGISTERED. NUTRITIONIST COME OUT REGISTERED DIETICIAN AND A NUTRITIONIST COME OUT. PROVIDE EDUCATION AS WELL AS A CHIROPRACTOR FROM DOCTOR KAUFMANN FROM I THINK, KAUFMANN CHIROPRACTIC. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S HIS NAME. THE NAME OF THE BUSINESS IS, BUT DOCTOR KAUFMANN WAS THERE AND HE PROVIDED SOME GREAT EDUCATION INFORMATION TO THE GROUP. THERE. WE HAD WE WERE PARTICIPATED IN TRUNK OR TREAT. WE HAD. THAT'S RIGHT. HEALTHY HARMFUL HABIT STATION. WE WERE ALL LIKE A LITTLE TRIO THERE. THEY WERE NEXT TO. WE WERE THERE. YEAH. CHRIS WAS ACROSS THE WAY. EMS WAS THERE AND YOU WERE NEXT TO US THERE. OH, YEAH. YES. WE WERE JUST ON THE OTHER END. YEAH. YEAH. THEY WERE LIKE, WELL OVER A THOUSAND PEOPLE THAT SHOWED UP. OH, REALLY? A REALLY GOOD TURNOUT. YEAH. 12,000 PEOPLE. YEAH. THEY HAD A LOT OF FUN. I'M SURE THEY DID WITH 1000, THOUGH. YEAH, I THINK LAST YEAR WAS AT LEAST OVER 2000. YEAH. IT WAS. IT WAS DEFINITELY OVER A THOUSAND. OH, YEAH. THEY HAD A HIGH TURNOUT. YUP. WE ARE PARTNERING WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE GREAT AMERICAN SMOKEOUT, WHICH IS NOVEMBER 21ST. SO OUR HEALTH EDUCATOR, SIGRID, WILL BE THERE DOING SOME TABLING AND PROVIDING EDUCATION TO THE STUDENTS. EVERYONE ALSO INCORPORATED EDUCATION ABOUT VAPING AS WELL. AND THEN ANY ANY TOBACCO CESSATION RESOURCES THAT WE CAN PROVIDE. THE OTHER THING THAT WE ARE PLANNING TO DO AS PART OF GREAT AMERICAN SMOKEOUT, BUT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AFTER GREAT AMERICAN SMOKEOUT IS TO REALLY WORK ON APPROPRIATE SIGNAGE AROUND THE CAMPUS, ON THE EXTERIOR OF THIS BUILDING AND THE INTERIOR, AS PART OF THE NEW JERSEY SMOKE FREE AIR ACT REGULATIONS. SO THE SMOKE FREE AIR ACT AND THE NEW JERSEY INDOOR SMOKE FREE AIR ACT HAVE STIPULATIONS ON, YOU KNOW, ON SIGNAGE THAT SHOULD BE, YOU KNOW, VERY CONSPICUOUS AND IT SHOULD BE THEY HAVE LIKE REQUIREMENTS ON WHERE THEY SHOULD BE POSTED. BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT IN THIS BUILDING. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH. OUR WE HAVE AN EMPLOYEE SAFETY COMMITTEE AND AN INTERN ADRIJA WHO'S, YOU KNOW, OUR BS, MPH INTERN WHO WILL BE HELPING US WITH THAT INITIATIVE TO MAKE SURE WE GET THOSE NO SMOKING, NO VAPING SIGNS IN, AND AROUND THE BUILDING. BUT IF ANYBODY IS INTERESTED IN PARTNERING WITH US AND HELPING US. ADVOCATE TO GET THE SIGNS UP, LET ME KNOW. I THINK WHEN WE FIRST MOVED IN, THERE WAS IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET SOME OF THE SIGNS UP. SO WE HAD SIGNS FROM TOBACCO FREE NEW JERSEY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO POST AROUND ON THE IN THE PARKING LOT AROUND THE CAMPUS, BUT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING INSIDE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN ADVOCATE FOR POSTING THIS IN CASE THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS. AS TO OKAY, I WONDER WHY SOMEBODY WOULD POST FROM YOUR ANTICIPATING RESISTANCE. IS THAT WHAT I'M HEARING? NO, WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT GETS DONE.WE DON'T WANT TO PROLONG IT. OH I SEE, I SEE. OKAY, COOL. YEAH. YEAH. BECAUSE THERE'S LIKE VARIOUS LIKE SIGNAGE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON IN TERMS OF, LIKE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE AROUND THE BUILDING, APPROPRIATE HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY, SIGNAGE TO THE ELEVATOR. SO THERE'S THE SIGNAGE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE. SO DO THE APPROPRIATE SIGNS FOR THE SMOKING. LIKE DO THEY EXIST ALREADY? LIKE DO YOU HAVE AN OFFICIAL SIGN OR THEY HAVE TO GET DESIGNED OR WHAT'S INVOLVED? SO WE WOULD NEED TO GET PURCHASE THE SIGNS. BUT WE HAVE THE BUDGET TO DO THAT. AND YOU KNOW WHERE TO GET THEM. AND THAT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. SO JUST GETTING THEM AND PUTTING THEM UP RIGHT. SO WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE SOME SIGNS FROM THE SMOKE FREE FROM TOBACCO FREE NEW JERSEY. BUT THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE SAFETY COMMITTEE WAS THAT THEY HAVE THE THICK CLOUD GRAPHIC WITH BLUE SKIES AND WHITE CLOUDS IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE NO SMOKING SIGN, AND THEY SAID THAT IT'S DISTRACTING AND PEOPLE DON'T REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO JUST THE NO SMOKING SIGN. AND THERE'S A LOT MORE. ARE THESE FREE SIGNS? YEAH. AND ALSO, THEY CAME FROM NO SMOKING INITIATIVE. HE DESIGNED THEM. I'M ASSUMING. YES. SO WE. SAFETY
[00:10:01]
FIRST. SAFETY. SAFETY SPEAK. HOLD ON, HOLD ON. LET'S DO ONE AT A TIME. SORRY. I APOLOGIZE.THAT WAS WEIRD. GO AHEAD. SO, JEREMY HAS A QUESTION. SORRY. I SHOULD THE SAFETY PERSON SAFETY COMMITTEE. SAFETY? WHERE IS THAT LOCATED? OH, IT'S JUST IT'S A GROUP OF EMPLOYEES HERE IN THE TOWNSHIP. YEAH. OKAY. OKAY. SO WE WERE JUST TRYING TO GET, YOU KNOW, WE WERE TRYING TO MAKE THIS, LIKE, A COLLABORATIVE GROUP, YOU KNOW, EFFORT IN GETTING THE SIGNS OUT. SO WE WERE TRYING TO SOLICIT, YOU KNOW, INPUT FROM THEM ABOUT THE SIGNAGE AND NOBODY KNEW THAT THE SIGNS THAT WE HAVE AROUND THE BUILDING ARE THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT AS THEY'RE NOT BEING VISIBLE.
THEY'RE NOT BEING SEEN. OKAY. SO WE NEED LIKE I'LL BE HONEST, I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM. YEAH. I HAVE NOT SEEN THEM. OF COURSE I'VE NEVER HAD LIKE THAT'S SO THAT'S SO THAT'S THEIR CRITIQUE IS BECAUSE OF THE, THE WAY THEY ARE. LIKE I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE THEM. YEAH. LIKE LIKE.
YEAH. THAT'S WHAT I'M SO MESMERIZED BY. SO THERE ARE SIGNS THAT NOW THAT WE'RE NOT SEEING. JEN, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? YEAH. DO YOU HAVE A SIGN? IT IS. IS THERE A SIGN AVAILABLE TO THEIR RIGHT OUTSIDE MY OFFICE? THE NO SMOKING? OH, YEAH. YOU WANT ME TO GRAB ONE? APPARENTLY, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO. THAT'D BE GREAT. IT'S NOT SOMETHING I SHOULD LOOK UP. NO.
LOOK, CAN YOU LOOK AT THE LAPTOP? BUT I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE. THERE'S A LOT OF THEM. ARE THERE? BLUE. BLUE SKY AND WHITE CLOUDS. JEN. THANK YOU. OH, THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID. HERE WE GO. THE BREEZE IS. BREATHE EASY. THAT WOULD BE OKAY. SO IS THERE A WAY? SO JUST MANY OF THEM. WE SEE THIS ALONE, RIGHT? YEAH. ONE WITH A RED ONE ON THE CROSS. THAT. HELLO. BUT ARE THEY. ARE THEY UP RIGHT NOW? OUTSIDE. RIGHT OUTSIDE THE BUILDING. PROBABLY THEY GET DISTRACTED, LIKE WITH THE OCEAN VIEW. YEAH. YES. I'VE HAD I'VE HAD TO TELL PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, TO STOP SMOKING OUTSIDE AND IT GETS. ISN'T THERE A LAW THAT THERE'S A CERTAIN RADIUS? OKAY, SO FROM THE DOOR. OH, YOU CAN'T SMOKE. ALL RIGHT. IT'S NO SMOKING ALLOWED ON THIS CAMPUS.
ON THIS CAMPUS, EVEN IN THE PARKING LOT. AND WE DO I GUESS WE DO GET WE DO GET PEOPLE SMOKING AND VAPING. AND I'VE HAD TO GO OUT AND PERSONALLY TELL THEM TO STOP. AND WE ALSO HAD ONE INCIDENT WHERE WE WERE DOING A CANCER SCREENING EVENT AND THERE WAS A PERSON SMOKING RIGHT OUTSIDE THE MAIN ENTRANCE, AND THERE'S CHILDREN WALKING IN TO GO INTO THE LIBRARY. SO, SO IT SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD ALSO BE MAYBE A SIGN AT THE ENTRANCE. THIS IS A SMOKE FREE CAMPUS.
YEAH. SO YOU MEAN LIKE A BIG SIGN? YEAH. BIG SIGN? YEAH. SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE TEMPORARY SIGNAGE THAT IS FREE. YEAH. AND DISTRIBUTED TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT. SO WE CAN USE THOSE IN A TEMPORARY WAY, AND THEN POTENTIALLY PURCHASE PERMANENT SIGNS TO PUT UP. AND WHO HAS TO WHO HAS TO APPROVE THE PERMANENT SIGNAGE? TOWN ADMINISTRATION AND TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE SAFETY COMMITTEE A FIELD TRIP TO OUTSIDE SAFETY COMMITTEE. BUT IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY POST THEM ON THE BUILDING TO DO THAT, IN ORDER TO POST THEM ON THE BUILDING, WE WOULD NEED ADMINISTRATION AND TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE. OKAY, SO IS THERE A PROCESS WE NEED TO PUT IN PLACE NOW? YES. DO YOU GUYS HAVE SIGNS OUTSIDE? I THINK IT'D BE BETTER IF IT'S SIMILAR TO LIKE. SO WHAT WOULD THE PARK DO? YOU KNOW, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THE PROCESS WOULD BE IF THE BOARD OF HEALTH CAN MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE THAT WE NEED THE SIGNS THAT AUTOCORRELATION THERE? SURE. OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO ADD IT. WE HAVE WE HAVE THE OXYGEN FILLING ROOM WHERE WE FILL OXYGEN TANKS. WE HAVE A SIGN THAT SAYS WE'RE GOING TO DO WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO INITIATE A PROCESS RIGHT NOW. SO JEN'S GOING TO COME BACK WITH THE SIGN. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A PEEK AT THAT SIGN. THAT IS THE TEMPORARY TURF OUTSIDE TO SEE THE SIGN. YOU CAN BY ALL MEANS GO AHEAD. AND I'M SURE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING RIGHT NOW, NOT ON THE BUILDING IN THE PARKING LOT. LIKE IF YOU I THINK AND ON LIKE THAT ON THE TELEPHONE POLE. YEAH. OR ON THE WHERE THE STOP SIGNS ARE. OKAY. SO ON THE STOP SIGN SIGNS, THERE ARE SIGNS THAT SAY NO SMOKING AND THAT'S IT. YEAH. OKAY. YES. AND JEN'S GOING TO GET THAT.
YOU'RE DRIVING YOUR CAR. OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A RECORD. SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE TEMPORARY ONES. WE'RE GOING TO ASK THAT THEY ARE PUT UP IN A TEMPORARY BASIS UNTIL. OH THEY'RE LITTLE TOO. THAT IS THE SIGN THAT SAME THING. THANKS, JEN. SO THOSE ARE THE SIGNS THAT ARE OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. YEAH. NO, THAT I'VE NEVER NOTICED. I'VE NEVER EVER. OKAY. YEAH. NO ONE'S EVER NOTICED. I'VE NEVER NOTICED. NO. OKAY. HAVE YOU SEEN IT NOW? NO. LIKE NEAR THE PARKING LOT. WHAT DO YOU MEAN? IT SHOULD BE ON THE BUILDING. YES. IS THIS WHAT, LIKE THE STATE RECOMMENDS? YEAH. THIS IS THE STATE. THIS IS A STATE. GENERALLY, IT'S ONLY THOSE RED CIRCLE WITH THE CROSS. RIGHT? LIKE WHAT WE SEE IN MANY BUILDINGS. IT SHOULD BE VERY SIMPLE. NO SMOKING. YES. BUT I THINK WHAT WE CAN JUST SAY, LIKE THIS IS A SMOKE FREE CAMPUS.
LIKE, WE CAN MAKE IT MORE. WE CAN. YES, YES, YES. PASS IT AROUND. OR IS THERE A DESIGNATED SMOKING AREA? NO, NO, NOT ON NOT ON SITE IN YOUR OWN HOUSE. IN YOUR HOUSE, IN YOUR FRONT LAWN.
BUT HOW ABOUT A SIGN LIKE A AND I DON'T KNOW. OKAY, SO CAN I ASK FOR A VOTE? WE HAVE A GOOD IDEA.
[00:15:05]
I LIKE THIS ONE HERE. YEAH, THIS THIS PUBLIC PROPERTY IS 100% SMOKE FREE. IT'S PERMANENT.OKAY. SO WHAT I'M. JEN. CAN CAN THEY JUST DO A VOTE TO RECOMMEND THAT THE TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE APPROVE SIGNAGE ON THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING TO DESIGNATE THIS AS A SMOKE FREE CAMPUS. I MEAN, I DON'T SEE WHY NOT. WE'RE ALREADY SMOKING, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S. I MEAN, NO, IT'S A SIGNAGE. YEAH. WE STILL HAVE TO GO IN FRONT OF THE TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE OR SOMETHING.
I DON'T KNOW. I'M SORRY. WHAT DID YOU SAY? I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD STILL HAVE TO GO IN FRONT OF TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE. LIKE, DO THEY NEED TO APPROVE IT AS WELL? I BELIEVE SO IF YOU IF YOU RECOMMEND IT TO THE TO THE TC. OKAY. WE'LL BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME SORT OF, YOU KNOW. YEAH. SO I'LL JUST CALL FOR A VOTE. CAN WE JUST HAVE A QUICK VOTE FOR THE RECOMMENDATION TO THE TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE THAT WE PURCHASE PERMANENT SIGNAGE TO DESIGNATE THE CAMPUS AS A SMOKE FREE CAMPUS? DID YOU HAVE AN AMENDMENT? I HAVE A COMMENT.
YES. CAN YOU MAKE IT TO PURCHASE SIGNAGE THAT DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT PUTTING UP AND PUTTING IT UP? YES, MA'AM. PURCHASE AND PUT UP. WHERE DO YOU WANT IT PUT UP? WE WANT IT AT X 20 FOOT INTERVALS. WELL, I MEAN, DO YOU WANT IT? YOU WANT IT HERE. I THINK WE HAVE TO BE VERY SPECIFIC OR NOTHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN. SO WE CAN DO IT BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SAFETY COMMITTEE. OKAY. YES. BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATION. GREAT. YES. BUT I DON'T I DON'T KNOW. WE DEFINITELY WANT ONE ON THE FRONT DOOR. I THINK THE DOOR AS WE ENTER IT, AS WE ENTER AND WE ENTER THE CAMPUS WINDOWS, YOU KNOW, SO THE SIDEWALK. SO I FEEL LIKE THERE'S NOBODY'S LIKE, IF YOU GO OUTSIDE, LIKE YOUR POINT NEAR THE LIBRARY, IF YOU KNOW KIDS ARE COMING IN AND OUT AND WHATNOT. WHAT ABOUT LIKE, A CONGREGATING SIGN FLAKED ON THE SIDEWALK LIKE A, YOU KNOW, WET FLOOR SIGNS THAT GET THEIR ATTENTION? YOU KNOW, THOSE HAVE A BIG TRIFOLD OR THOSE, WHAT DO YOU CALL THEM? I MEAN, ON THE SIDEWALK. SO YOU COULD I FEEL LIKE I FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT GOING TO BE SEEN SOMEHOW. I MEAN, HOW BIG IS IT? DEPENDS HOW BIG IT IS OR HOW BRIGHT IT IS. BUT I WAS TRYING, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE JUST AT THIS POINT, LET'S JUST MAKE IT RIGHT. WE WANT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO THE TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE THAT WE NEED SIGNAGE THAT IS VISIBLE, INAPPROPRIATELY PLACED ON CAMPUS TO DESIGNATE THE. I JUST THINK THAT HAS TOO MANY WORDS. IT SHOULD JUST SAY NO SMOKING. PROPER SMOKE FREE CAMPUS SMOKE FREE CAFE SMOKE FREE CAMPUS. AND IT CAN HAVE THOSE THREE CAMPUS EMBLEMS RIGHT. THAT IT SHOULD INCLUDE ALSO THE PARKING AREA BECAUSE. YEAH. YEAH. BUT APPARENTLY ALSO RECOMMEND WE'RE GOING TO RECOMMEND THAT DEEWANGI WORKS WITH THE COMMITTEE TO PUT UP THE APPROPRIATE SIGNAGE. YEAH, I HAD AN INTERN WORK ON IT SO WE CAN WE CAN HAVE HER PRESENT IT TO THE TO YOU GUYS TOO. THAT'S GREAT. SO I'D SAY THAT'S PROBABLY BETTER I LIKE THAT. THAT'S FINE. YEAH.

CAMPUS WHATEVER. WE I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT WE CALL THIS AREA. I THOUGHT IT WAS CALLED A CAMPUS, WHATEVER WE WANT TO CALL IT. I DON'T KNOW. RIGHT. WHATEVER YOU CALL IT. PROPERTY.
TOWNSHIP PROPERTY HAS A NAME ON THE MAP, BUT. YEAH, BUT IT SHOULD BE, LIKE, ON BOTH SIDES.
LIKE GOING OUT OF THE BUILDING AND COMING INTO THE BUILDING BECAUSE, YES, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE COME IN THIS WAY. YOU MAY SEE THEM WALK OUT AND THEY FEEL LIKE THEY CAN SMOKE. SO THAT'S RIGHT.

I HOPE THAT IT GETS FINALIZED BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. IF NOT, IT'LL HAVE. IT'LL HAVE TO BE IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE YEAR. SO, YOU KNOW, JUST TO THE BOARD, STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES FROM THE CHA AND THE CHIP. IS THIS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SOMERSET HEALTHIER SOMERSET? SOMERSET.

THERE WILL BE A SLEW OF DOCUMENTS THAT WE WILL NEED YOUR HELP IN REVIEWING AND APPROVING.ONE OF THEM THAT I ORIGINALLY HAD ON THE AGENDA, BUT WE WEREN'T REALLY READY TO SHARE IT OUT IN TIME FOR YOU TO REVIEW IT. I JUST WANTED TO ALSO GIVE YOU A CHANCE. YOU HAD A I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS WERE AWARE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING SO THAT NEXT, AT NEXT MONTH'S BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING, ALL WE WILL NEED IS JUST A VOTE FROM THE BOARD TO APPROVE THE BRANDING PLAN. THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAD DURING OUR INITIAL ACCREDITATION EFFORTS. BUT SINCE SINCE BEING ACCREDITED SINCE 2020, WE HAVE A NEW MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP LOGO. THERE'S A NEW ACCREDITATION LOG, AND WE'VE UPDATED OUR EMAIL SIGNATURES FOR THE STAFF AND WE'VE WE'RE KIND OF USING THE PLAN TO CREATE MORE OF AN SOP FOR NEW EMPLOYEES AS WELL. SO THIS IS JUST SOMETHING WE WILL NEED YOU TO REVIEW. IT'S ESSENTIALLY SAYING THAT WE WILL HAVE THESE VARIOUS TEMPLATES FOR OUR FLIERS, OUR EMAIL SIGNATURES, OUR BRANDING INTERNALLY FOR OUR ON OUR VEHICLES AND OUR BUSINESS CARDS. AND SMOKE FREE SIGNS. YEAH. AND SO WE'LL, YOU KNOW, WE'LL SHARE THIS WITH YOU AT THE, YOU KNOW, FOR THE NEXT MEETING AND HAVE YOU GUYS VOTE ON IT. AND THE PLAN WILL INCLUDE ELEMENTS THAT HELPS MEET PUBLIC HEALTH RE-ACCREDITATION STANDARDS. SO STAY TUNED FOR THAT. CAN YOU GIVE US AN IDEA OF HOW LONG IT IS? IT WILL BE. MAYBE. OH NO.
THIS ONE'S A DRAFT. YEAH. UNDER TEN PAGES. LESS THAN TEN PAGES. YES. OKAY. THE I THINK THOSE ARE THE MAJOR UPDATES, BUT WE HAVE A NEW EMPLOYEE THAT I REALLY WANTED TO TALK ABOUT. I'M NOT SURE. IS THIS UNDER HEALTH OFFICER COMMENTS? THIS IS. OH, YES. SO WE SORRY I THOUGHT THAT WAS PART OF MY TALKING POINTS. THANKS, JEREMY. YOU'RE WELCOME. PRINCETON. PRINCETON UNIVERSITY REACHED OUT TO ME. BIANCA. FRIDA. SHE. I'VE WORKED WITH HER WHEN SHE WAS AT RUTGERS, AND SHE'S AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY NOW. THEY ARE. THEY CREATED THIS NEW PROGRAM. THESE ARE MICRO INTERNSHIPS. THEY WANT STUDENTS TO HAVE AND TO GAIN SOME EXPERIENCE DOING WORK WITH DIFFERENT SITES OVER WINTER BREAK. AND SO BIANCA REACHED OUT. AND THANK YOU, JEREMY, FOR CONNECTING US AND MAKING SURE WE GOT THIS DONE WITHIN THE TIMELINES AND DEADLINES TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. BUT TO HAVE PRINCETON UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WORK ON A PROJECT OVER WINTER BREAK, WE IDENTIFIED CERTAIN PROJECTS THAT HELPED MEET OUR PUBLIC HEALTH ACCREDITATION WORK, SO WE'RE HOPING THAT IT WORKS OUT. BIANCA FEELS, YOU KNOW, THAT. SHE FEELS THAT SHE FEELS OPTIMISTIC ABOUT US GETTING THIS DONE. AND IT'S A GREAT WAY FOR US TO ENGAGE STUDENTS. PRINCETON IS RIGHT HERE. SO IF YOU KNOW, IF THESE STUDENTS YOU KNOW THEY LOVE WHAT THEY'RE DOING WITH US AND THEY ARE INTERESTED IN CONTINUING, CONTINUING ONCE THEY GET BACK ON CAMPUS, IT'S JUST ANOTHER WAY FOR US TO RECRUIT YOU KNOW, A GOOD INTERNSHIP, GOOD INTERNS, AND CONTINUE WITH OUR INTERNSHIP PROGRAM BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE TOUGH SINCE COVID IN GETTING MORE INTERNS TO COME OUT FOR IN PERSON INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE. BUT THIS WILL BE FULLY REMOTE SO IT DOESN'T MATTER, YOU KNOW, IF THE STUDENTS GO HOME DURING THEIR WINTER BREAK, WE WILL STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE VIRTUALLY. SO RIGHT NOW, THE PLAN IS TO HELP US WITH SOME OF OUR DATA ANALYSIS WORK THAT WE NEED HELP WITH THAT MEETS ACCREDITATION STANDARDS. AND EITHER IT COULD BE A LITERATURE REVIEW, SOME TYPE OF DATA ANALYSIS ON A CERTAIN TOPIC, A NEEDS ASSESSMENT, BEST PRACTICES REVIEW, HELPING US CONDUCT A SURVEY OR ANALYZE SURVEY RESULT. SO WE HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL SUPPORT HERE, WHICH IS GREAT.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER AMRITA PAUL. SHE WAS A MONTGOMERY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WHO HELPED DO THIS MENTAL HEALTH SURVEY. SHE SURVEYED HER PEERS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL AND PRESENTED THE RESULTS BEFORE COVID. SHE HELPED US DURING COVID, COMING OUT TO VOLUNTEER AT OUR, YOU KNOW, DRIVE THROUGH FLU VACCINE CLINICS BEFORE THE COVID VACCINE WAS AVAILABLE. AND SHE ALSO HELPED OUT AT OUR COVID VACCINATION CLINICS. SHE WENT ON TO MAJOR IN PUBLIC HEALTH, AND SHE'S INTERESTED IN COMING BACK TO DO AN INTERNSHIP WITH US. SO I'D LOVE TO HAVE HER BACK.
THAT'S GREAT. SO SHE'S EXPRESSED INTEREST IN IN INTERNING WITH US IN THE SPRING SEMESTER. SO I
[00:25:05]
JUST WANTED THE BOARD TO BE AWARE OF THAT. JEN, DO WE NEED TO VOTE FOR INTERNS OR. OKAY, SO I GUESS WE HAVE A BOARD APPROVAL. YES. THAT'S GREAT. YOU KNOW, IT WILL BE ALL HANDS ON DECK IN THE FIRST THREE MONTHS. THAT'S WHEN OUR INITIAL APPLICATION FOR FAB IS DUE. SO NOT BEGINNING. WELL, BEGINNING A COUPLE MONTHS AGO THROUGH, YOU KNOW, JANUARY, WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING EVERYTHING READY FOR OUR INITIAL APPLICATION SUBMISSION FOR FAB. AND THE GOAL WILL BE TO GET THAT SUBMITTED BY MARCH. THEN FAB WILL REVIEW OUR SUBMISSION AND THEN COME BACK WITH COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK. SO THERE MIGHT BE SOME TIME. I THINK IT'S ABOUT A MONTH OR I THINK IT'S ABOUT A MONTH THAT WE HAVE TO COMPLETE ALL OF THOSE REQUESTS AND SUBMIT IT BEFORE THEY MAKE THEIR FINAL DECISION FOR REACCREDITATION. SO WE ARE ABOUT SIX MONTHS OR SO BEHIND PRINCETON. PRINCETON JUST SUBMITTED THEIRS. AND SO WE'RE HOPING TO GET TO GET SOME BEST PRACTICE TIPS FROM THEM AS WELL. NJDOE THEY HAVE THEIR THEIR REGIONAL LIAISONS, I THINK I MENTIONED IT AT THE LAST MEETING WE HAD KAREEMA, WHO IS OUR LIAISON, COME OUT TO YOU KNOW, JUST VISIT US, MEET THE STAFF. AND SHE JUST WANTED TO LEARN ABOUT LIKE SOME OF OUR NEEDS AND CHALLENGES OF, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE ALREADY SHARED HERE WITH, YOU KNOW, JUST STAFFING CAPACITY AND SUSTAINABLE FUNDING, THINGS LIKE THAT. SO SHE'S SHE'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO MAKE SOME VISITS AND TALK TO US. BUT YOU GUYS ARE INTERESTED IN MEETING WITH HER.LET ME KNOW. I INVITED HER TO A BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING. SO SHE SAID EITHER IF DECEMBER DOESN'T WORK, SHE DEFINITELY WANTS TO PLAN TO MAKE IT TO ONE OF OUR 2025 MEETINGS AND THEN THE AS PART OF THIS LIAISON PROGRAM, THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, THEY HAVE THE LISTENING TOURS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WITH RUTGERS. SO THEY HAVE THEIR FIRST LISTENING SESSION TOMORROW. AND THIS IS OPEN ONLY TO HEALTH OFFICERS RIGHT NOW. BUT WE'RE HOPING THAT THIS WILL EXPAND TO OTHER HEALTH DEPARTMENT STAFF BECAUSE THE MORE INPUT THAT WE CAN GIVE THEM, THE BETTER. AND THEN WE'RE CONTINUING TO ADVOCATE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITY FUNDING. WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING YET FROM THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, BUT WE'RE HOPING THAT MAYBE THE NEXT BUDGET. SO IF WE DO NEED TO PASS A RESOLUTION, WE'LL WE'LL COME TO THE BOARD FOR THAT REQUEST.
AGAIN, I KNOW YOU GUYS HAD HELPED WITH THE RESOLUTION LAST YEAR, AND IF NEEDED, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. OKAY. SO I WILL BE ATTENDING THE LEAGUE OF MUNICIPALITIES NEXT WEEK. JEN AND KRISTEN WILL BE THERE TOO. THERE ARE A LOT OF SESSIONS THAT ARE BEING HOSTED BY THE NEW JERSEY ASSOCIATION FOR COUNTY AND CITY HEALTH OFFICIALS. ONE OF THE SESSIONS IS HOW TO MODERNIZE PUBLIC HEALTH IN NEW JERSEY. SO I'LL BE FACILITATING THAT, AND I'LL BE FACILITATING MODERATING A PANEL. AND STEPH WILL BE ON THAT AS WELL. SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT? WHAT IS THE FUTURE IN PUBLIC HEALTH LOOK LIKE. SO I'LL BRING BACK SOME NOTES FOR YOU FOR THE BOARD AS WELL FOR THE DECEMBER MEETING. THERE WAS A STUDENT WHO HAD REACHED OUT, I DON'T KNOW, LAST MONTH OR SO. SHE IS INTERESTED IN. SHE WAS A VICTIM OF HOME INVASION IN TOWN, AND SHE WANTS TO DO A PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM ON PUBLIC SAFETY, BUT SPECIFICALLY HOME INVASIONS AND HOW YOU CAN. ANY TIPS TO PREVENT IT? YOU KNOW, ANY IF SHE IF THERE'S ANYTHING SHE CAN DO TO HELP EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT SHE WANTS TO DO. SO REACHED OUT TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S KIND OF HELPING HER COPE WITH HER EXPERIENCE. SHE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY EVER HAS TO GO THROUGH THAT. BUT IF THERE ARE, SHE'S A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT. IF THERE'S IF EVER, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE THERE WAS A STUDENT OR EVEN A CHILD WHO WHO EXPERIENCED THIS. SHE WANTS TO BE AVAILABLE AS A RESOURCE. SO I HOPE NOBODY DOES HAVE TO THAT DOES EXPERIENCE THIS. BUT SHE IS A RESOURCE. IF YOU'D LIKE MORE INFORMATION OR IF YOU'D LIKE HER TO COME OUT TO TALK TO A COMMUNITY GROUP OR AN HOA, YOU CAN REACH OUT TO ME. I CAN SHARE HER INFORMATION, SHE SAID. THIS IS PART OF HER HEALING PROCESS AND IT'S HELPING HER COPE BETTER IN TERMS OF PROVIDING EDUCATION AND HELPING OTHER PEOPLE. SO IF YOU IF WE'RE SUCCESSFUL IN PLANNING AN EVENT, WE MIGHT WE MIGHT SHARE THAT
[00:30:09]
INFORMATION OUT. BUT THIS IS STILL IN THE PLANNING STAGES. THERE'S ANOTHER GIRL SCOUT WHO HAD REACHED OUT AS PART OF HER GOLD AWARD PROJECT. SHE IS INTERESTED IN CREATING A WELCOME PACKET FOR NEW RESIDENTS, AND THESE ARE NOT ONLY RESIDENTS NEW TO MONTGOMERY, BUT NEW TO THE COUNTRY. SO THIS IS FROM LIKE INITIAL FEEDBACK FROM EMS, POLICE AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ABOUT HOW THERE IS A NEED TO EDUCATE. YOU KNOW, THIS THIS POPULATION ON WHEN TO CALL FOR HELP AND TO CALL THE POLICE, WHEN TO CALL EMS, WHEN TO CALL 911. WHAT TO DO IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK? WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS? WHERE CAN YOU GO? IT'S NOT JUST CALL 911 AND GO TO THE E.R. FOR EVERYTHING. SO THERE'S THESE DIFFERENT TOPIC AREAS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED. AND SO THIS GIRL SCOUT, HER NAME IS ANGELINA BUSH. SHE'LL BE SHE'LL BE WORKING ON THAT. SO RIGHT NOW SHE'S JUST GETTING APPROVALS FROM HER GIRL SCOUT BOARD. AND ONCE THAT GETS APPROVED, YOU KNOW, WE WANT THE GIRL SCOUTS TO FOLLOW THE SAME PROCESS THAT THE BOY SCOUTS AND CUB SCOUTS DO. SO SHE'LL COME OUT TO PRESENT TO TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE ONCE THEY APPROVE IT, THEN, YOU KNOW, SHE'LL START WORKING ON GETTING EVERYTHING TOGETHER. SHE'S ALREADY STARTED COMPILING THINGS, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS. BOARD OF HEALTH MEMBERS ON WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE INCORPORATED INTO THAT PACKET, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. AND I CAN EVEN CONNECT HER TO YOU. SHE'S VERY ENTHUSIASTIC AND SHE WANTS TO HELP. AND SHE'S A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT. AND HOW WOULD YOU REACH OUT TO THE NEW RESIDENTS? SO THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF HER PLAN. BUT, YOU KNOW. YEAH, I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH WE DO THE TOWN DOES PARTNER WITH THE NBA AND THEY SEND OUT A PACKAGE WITH A WELCOME PACKAGE ALREADY FOR BUSINESSES TO EVERY SINGLE HOUSEHOLD THAT COMES INTO TOWN.SO I KNOW THE TOWNSHIP ALSO PUT TOWNSHIP INFORMATION IN THAT PACKET AS WELL. MAYBE THEY CAN REACH OUT TO THEM AND SAY, HEY, CAN WE PUT THIS ADDITIONAL FLIER OR INFORMATION? IT'S ALREADY GOING OUT TO NEW, NEW HOUSEHOLDS. YEAH. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE IDENTIFIED IS THAT THE WELCOME PACKETS THAT THE TOWNSHIP SENDS OUT IS FOR HOMEOWNERS, WHEREAS A LOT OF THE TENANTS AND OTHER PEOPLE, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY GET THOSE WELCOME PACKETS. AND WE ARE SEEING MORE TENANTS WHERE THERE IS MORE EDUCATION NEEDED, ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO THESE TOPICS, BUT ALSO PET LICENSING AND WILD ANIMALS THAT PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT. YEAH. ARE THERE ANY OTHER TOPICS THAT YOU GUYS THINK OF? I DO, YEAH. WHEN THEY'RE WHEN THEY'RE IN APARTMENTS IS A LOT HARDER TO REACH OUT TO THEM BECAUSE IF THE IF THE LANDLORD DOESN'T DON'T REALLY ALLOW US TO GET IN AND GO INTO THE BUILDING. SO THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS IF THEY HAVE A LOBBY, WE CAN PUT INFORMATION OUT THERE. BUT REALLY TO GET THE HOUSEHOLDS, IT'S MORE DIFFICULT.
YEAH, BUT THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF HER PROJECT. YEAH. TO HELP, TO HELP GET THE WORD OUT AND GET THIS INFORMATION TO THESE NEW RESIDENTS COMING INTO TOWN. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER TOPIC IDEAS, PLEASE LET US KNOW. OKAY. ANY INTERESTING YOU KNOW, I GET REQUESTS ALMOST EVERY WEEK. I THINK I WAS TELLING EMILY TODAY THAT IF I DON'T HEAR FROM A STUDENT, IT HASN'T BEEN A WEEK. IF I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM SOMEBODY INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING OR INTERNSHIPS. SO THERE IS A THERE IS A STRONG DEMAND AND IT'S GROWING FOR VOLUNTEERING AT A HEALTH DEPARTMENT. BUT I CAN'T I CAN ONLY DO 1 OR 2 STUDENTS. MAX A SEMESTER. SO YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE. YEAH, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE LIKE A PUBLIC HEALTH TRAINING ACADEMY. SOMEDAY, SOMEDAY. I LOVE THAT THE NEXT GENERATION IS GETTING ENTHUSIASTIC AND INVOLVED IN THIS. YEAH THEY ARE. YEAH, YEAH. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M COVERING ALL MY BASES HERE. BUT YEAH, THE OTHER BIG THING GOING ON IS THE FOOD INSECURITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT. BUT. THAT CAN WAIT BECAUSE I WANT EMILY TO SPEAK T. THAT. IS THERE SOMETHING SPECIFIC ABOUT THE FOOD INSECURITY NEEDS? OR WHY DON'T WE LET EMILY SPEAK AND THEN YOU CAN. YEAH. TURN BACK TO THAT.
HOW'S THAT? THAT WORKS. OKAY. EMILY'S BEEN PATIENTLY STANDING. I KNOW EMILY, SHE'S LIKE SIGNAG.
[00:35:08]
REALLY? PLEASE JOIN US AT THE PODIUM. THESE MEETINGS ARE RECORDED, SO YOU HAVE TO. YEAH.THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. HI. I'M EMILY SCHREINER. I'M THE NEW PUBLIC HEALTH PLANNER. I GUESS A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND. I GOT MY MPH IN 2020 AND IN DC, AND I WORKED AT A LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA DURING COVID. AND THEN MOST RECENTLY, I WORKED AT NACCHO ON THEIR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TEAM. AND THEN I JUST MOVED UP TO NEW JERSEY IN JUNE. SO I AM NEW TO NEW JERSEY. WELCOME. I THINK THAT STATE IN THE UNION, I'M ENJOYING IT. SO FAR. I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE AND YOU'LL GET THERE. BUT YEAH, SORT OF JUST HELPING ON LOTS OF THINGS.
HELPING ON FAB ACCREDITATION, FOOD INSECURITIES, EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS. YEAH, ALL KINDS OF STUFF. OKAY, GREAT. YEAH. GLAD TO HAVE YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US? WE DIDN'T GET ME SO EXCITED. I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY AT THE MOMENT, BUT YEAH, WELL, WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU IN ANY WAY. IF YOU EVER HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH US, WE'RE VERY HAPPY TO HELP. WE ARE ALSO A VERY ACTIVE BOARD. SO I THINK ALMOST EVERYBODY WHO WAS ON THE BOARD AT THE TIME DURING COVID PARTICIPATED IN OUR VACCINATION CLINICS OR, YOU KNOW, WE ALL PITCHED IN AND DID SOMETHING. SO WE'RE ALWAYS EAGER TO HELP WITH ANYTHING YOU CAN DO. YEP. GREAT.
THANK YOU. THANKS, EMILY. YEAH. THANK YOU. YEAH. SO, YOU KNOW FOOD INSECURITY WE'VE SO WE'VE HEARD FROM MULTIPLE COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS. THERE'S BEEN THERE'S BEEN THERE HAVE BEEN CONCERNS RAISED. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE YOU KNOW THE ELKS ELLEN DOES A FANTASTIC JOB WITH THE FOOD PANTRY. BUT EVERYTHING'S FRAGMENTED IN TOWN. AND THERE HAVE YOU KNOW, THERE ARE DIFFERENT REASONS FOR THAT. BUT WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO IDENTIFY WHAT ARE THE NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY SO WE CAN BETTER COORDINATE, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT ENTITIES. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMEBODY COORDINATING THIS A LOT OF THE TIMES THE REQUESTS COME TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND DOING THAT NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS SOMETHING THAT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, WE CAN HELP WITH. WE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO RUN FOOD PANTRIES OR TO MANAGE THAT OR TO BRING A FOOD BANK AND, YOU KNOW, RUN A FOOD BANK IN TOWN. BUT WE CAN HELP START WITH THE DATA COLLECTION, IDENTIFYING WHAT THE NEEDS ARE, WHAT ARE THE GAPS IN TERMS OF WHAT CAN RESOURCES WISE AND CAPACITY WISE, INFRASTRUCTURE WISE? WHAT DO WE HAVE TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS AND WHERE ARE WE FALLING? FALLING SHORT? WHO ARE THE DIFFERENT KEY PLAYERS IN THE COMMUNITY? AND SO EMILY AND ANDRIJA ARE WORKING ON, YOU KNOW, ON THAT DATA COLLECTION PIECE, ANDRIJA HAS BEEN REACHING OUT TO KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS IN TOWN TO SCHEDULE KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS. IF THERE'S ANY KEY, IF THERE ARE KEY PEOPLE THAT YOU THINK WE SHOULD TALK TO, LET US KNOW. BUT WE'RE HOPING TO GET THIS DONE AS SOON AS WE CAN BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF CONCERNS RAISED ABOUT THE LACK OF, YOU KNOW, FOOD PROGRAMS AT THE SCHOOLS AND THE LACK OF FOOD RESOURCES IN TOWN. BUT AGAIN, WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT WHAT THE DEMAND IS. I KNOW IT WAS IT WAS A LOT DURING COVID. IT HAS DROPPED SINCE THEN, BUT I WOULD I'M JUST FROM ANECDOTAL INFORMATION FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS. IT SEEMS AS IF THE NEEDS ARE ARE INCREASING AND WE JUST WANT TO HAVE A BETTER WAY TO TRACK THAT. RIGHT. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE BEEN PASSIONATE ABOUT SINCE LAST YEAR. WE'VE ASKED FOR SOME SORT OF LIKE TASK FORCE FROM THE TOWN TO INITIATE. WE HAD ONE MEETING AND THEN NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT, BUT WE REALLY NEED TO FOLLOW UP WITH THAT TASK FORCE TRYING TO CREATE A COMMUNITY TASK FORCE WHERE WE SO WE HAVE AN AMAZING WE HAVE TWO GREAT PANTRIES, RIGHT? ONE IS ELLEN, WHO IS AMAZING, AND SHE PROVIDES LIKE MANY SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY. BUT SHE WAS BY HERSELF AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO MANAGE A WHOLE PANTRY BY HERSELF. I THINK THERE'S A FEW PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO HELP HER OUT, WHICH IS GREAT. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE ONE IN OUR TOWNSHIP THAT
[00:40:07]
IT'S UNDER TOWNSHIP AUTHORITY AT OTTO KAUFMANN. SO WE DO HAVE TWO. WE WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE A TASK FORCE THAT HAS ELLEN INVOLVEMENT AS WELL AS OUR TOWNSHIP INVOLVEMENT. AND THEN ALL THE MAYBE RELIGIOUS LEADER LEADERS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS IN TOWN TO TRY TO FIND OUT THE SUPPORT FOR OUR COMMUNITY. SO MAYBE WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT TASK FORCE. SO I Y SO I DON'T THAT SOUNDS GREAT, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE A LITTLE BIT MAYBE WE'RE REINVENTING THE WHEEL IF WE ALREADY HAVE TWO FOOD BANKS IN TOWN THAT MAYBE THEY NEED TO TALK TO EACH OTHER AND. RIGHT. AND THAT'S THE THING IS TO IS TO BUILD THE BRIDGE BETWEEN EACH, EACH FOOD BANK. BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT THEY'RE REALLY COMMUNICATING. I THINK THAT'S TRUE. RIGHT. SO IT REALLY NEEDS TO WORK TOGETHER TO, TO FULLY HELP OUR COMMUNITY. RIGHT. AND THEN AS PART OF THE RECENT COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT, THEY DID, YOU KNOW, THEY DID A FOOD INSECURITY. THEY HAVE SOME FOOD INSECURITY DATA IN THERE. AND THERE ARE POCKETS IN MONTGOMERY THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS FOOD DESERTS. THERE'S ALSO A FOOD FOOD INSECURE. YEAH. FOOD INSECURITY INDEX. THERE'S A TASK FORCE THAT'S WORKING ON THAT RIGHT NO.AND AGAIN, MONTGOMERY HAS COME UP IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS. SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO GET ON THE TASK FORCE. THERE'S ALSO SOMERSET COUNTY FEEDING COALITION THAT WE SHOULD THAT MONTGOMERY SHOULD BE A PART OF. SO FOR NOW, YOU KNOW, WE WILL HAVE HEALTH DEPARTMENT STAFF ON THOSE MEETINGS. AND UNTIL WE CAN FIGURE OUT, OKAY, WHAT ARE, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THEIR GOAL FOR THIS GROUP? HOW CAN OUR REPRESENTATION HELP MONTGOMERY.
AND WE'RE REALLY HERE IN TERMS OF DATA SHARING REALLY. BUT AS AS IT GETS, AS WE GO GET MORE DEEP INTO FOOD INSECURITY, ONCE WE START TALKING ABOUT ACCESS AND UTILIZATION AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, THAT'S WHERE WE WOULD WANT THAT'S WHERE WE WOULD NEED, YOU KNOW, DEDICATED HUMAN SERVICES PERSONNEL OR ANOTHER ANOTHER GROUP OTHER THAN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO BE INVOLVE.
SO WE'RE JUST HERE TO KIND OF HELP INFORM THE PROCESS AND MAKE SURE THAT THE RIGHT INFORMATION IS BEING SHARED. BUT THEN THE GOAL IS TO HAVE THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMEBODY ELSE TO TAKE THAT AND GO AND MOVE FORWARD IN TERMS OF PROVIDING RESOURCES AND HAVING A MORE SUSTAINABLE WAY OF MANAGING THESE REQUESTS COMING IN, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THEY ALL COME TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
THERE'S NOBODY ELSE. WE DO HAVE THE TOWNSHIP FOOD PANTRY. SO JOHN KROGER, WHO'S THE DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION, HE ALSO HAS BEEN ONE OTHER PERSON THAT WE CAN RELY ON WHEN WE NEED TO GET SOMEBODY FOOD IN EMERGENCIE. BUT SOMETIMES SOME OF THESE PEOPLE NEED HELP FOR LONGER THAN JUST THAT ONE OFFER, RIGHT? AND IT CAN'T JUST BE DURING LIKE, YOU KNOW, WORK HOURS. IT HAS TO BE AFTER HOURS. THERE HAS TO BE KIND OF A NUMBER THAT THEY CAN CALL TO GET SERVICE. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I'VE EVEN HEARD THAT THERE'S, THERE'S CHILDREN IN TOWN THAT ARE JUST NOT EATING AND AREN'T ABLE TO GET, BE FED. SO THAT'S IT'S VERY DISHEARTENING. AND WE REALLY NEED TO, TO SUPPORT OUR CHILDREN I THINK. IS THERE A WAY LIKE OUR OF OUR TOWNSHIP, LIKE THE SCHOOL NURSES, AND IS THERE A WAY WE COULD GET MORE IDENTIFIERS OR FAMILIES THAT ARE IN NEED? BECAUSE THE UPDATED LIST MAYBE. SO WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHO TO HELP OUT. WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR AGGREGATE DATA, RIGHT NOW. SO EMILY'S REACHED OUT TO THE SCHOOLS TO GET UPDATED INFORMATION ON THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS ON FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH, AND TRY TO DO KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WITH SCHOOL STAFF AND OTHER, YOU KNOW, OTHER KEY PEOPLE IN TOWN TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT, HOW MANY, HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THEY THINK AND THE AND THE DIFFERENT AGENCIES THAT ARE DOING FOOD DRIVES OR FOOD PANTRY WORK. WHAT IS THEIR CASELOAD, IF YOU WILL? LOOK LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THE DEMAND? AND WE'RE TRYING TO PIECE EVERYTHING TOGETHER TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, BECAUSE WE ARE ABLE TO MAKE IT WORK NOW, BUT IN EMERGENCIES IT BECOMES EVEN MORE CRITICAL THAT WE HAVE A COORDINATED WAY OF GETTING THESE RESOURCES OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT. YOU SAY EMERGENCIES LIKE NATURAL DISASTERS OR POWER OUTAGES, NATURAL DISASTERS. SO NOT LIKE A FOOD AND WATER PERSONAL HEALTH. IT'S LIKE A COMMUNITY. OKAY. SO WHEN YOU'RE COLLECTING THIS DATA, LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE GO TALK TO LIKE ELLEN. ALL RIGHT. BECAUSE I KNOW, YOU KNOW, SHE'S, YOU KNOW, IN FRONT OF THE. YES OKAY. SHE'S SEEN A LOT.
[00:45:05]
AND YEAH. PERFECT. YEAH. IT IS A GROWING YOU KNOW I'VE, I KEEP GETTING YOU KNOW, COMMENTS AND CALLS FROM RESIDENTS THAT ARE CONCERNED. SO THAT'S NOT BEING ADDRESSED OR CONCERNS THAT THEY THINK IT'S BOTH EVERYTHING. AND THEN ALSO RESIDENTS WHO NEED HELP. IT HASN'T BEEN AS MUCH FROM THE RESIDENTS DIRECTLY. BUT AS AS WE GET INTO THE COLDER MONTHS. YEAH. SO WE ANTICIPATE SEEING THAT WE EXTEND THESE QUESTIONS. AT THIS YOUNG GENERATION INTERESTED IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH, MAYBE, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE ONLY ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE ONLY ABLE TO SUPPORT TWO PROJECTS A YEAR, MAYBE WE CAN DIRECT THEM TO HELP OUT, LIKE THE FOOD BANKS OR SOMETHIN.SO IT HELPS SERVE THE MISSION OF THE, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC HEALTH TO ME. AND I'M SURE I KNOW ELLEN MEANS A LOT LIKE, YEAH, THERE'S A LOT ON ELLEN'S PLATE. AND I'M SURE SHE WOULD WELCOME ANY HELP SHE CAN GET. BUT WELL, RECENTLY THERE'S BEEN ABOUT 18 PEOPLE HAVE SIGNED UP TO HELP HER. OH, OKAY. THERE'S AN INITIATIVE GOING ON TO VOLUNTEER AS WELL THAT IS STARTING TO HAPPEN. OH, GOOD. I'M GLAD. YEAH, IT'S STILL A LOT FOR ONE PERSON. YEAH, SHE DOES A LOT. AND THEN SHE DOES A LOT WITH THE SQUAD TOO. SO YEAH IT'S A LITTLE CRAZY. YEAH I DON'T I REALLY DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH SHE SLEEPS BECAUSE SHE'S DOING SO MUCH AND SO MUCH FOR OUR TOWN. IT'S A LOT THAT SHE DOES AND IT'S, IT'S SO APPRECIATIVE OF HER AND SHOWS HOW MUCH SHE CARES ABOUT OUR TOWN. SO THE MORE SUPPORT WE CAN GIVE HER. I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. AND IF, IF PEOPLE WANT TO REACH OUT TO HER AND SAY, HEY, HOW CAN I SUPPORT? I'M SURE SHE HAS A WHOLE LIST OF THINGS THAT THAT YOU THAT WE CAN DO. SO. YEAH. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR FOOD INSECURITY. BUT WE WILL SHARE OUR RESULTS WITH WITH YOU ALL. SO WE'RE HOPING TO JOIN THE FEEDING COALITION AND GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT WHAT'S GOING ON COUNTY WIDE. AND TRY TO FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS TASK FORCE. IT'S A TRI COUNTY TASK FORCE. WE ALSO HAVE THAT JOINT VEHICLE WITH HILLSBOROUGH. SO WE STILL GOT TO FIGURE OUT WE DIDN'T GET THE GRANT. WE DIDN'T GET IT. WE DIDN'T GET THE GRANT. IT WAS SO HILLSBOROUGH DIDN'T GET IT EITHER. AND SO OKAY. BUT IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT HILLSBOROUGH HAS IDENTIFIED THIS AS A NEED IN THEIR COMMUNITY TOO. BUT HILLSBOROUGH HAS A SOCIAL SERVICES AND SO DOES PRINCETON. RIGHT. SO WE DON'T YEAH. FOR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT BECOMES A SOURCE OF SOCIAL SERVICE. YEP. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING. IS FIELDING RESOURCES. YEAH. WHAT CAN ARE YOU SEEING THE TREND LIKE THE PERCENTAGE OF THE NEED. IS IT GOING HIGH OR DO WE HAVE LIKE A NUMBER VALUE. LIKE THIS WAS LIKE SO MUCH PERCENTAGE A YEAR BEFORE. WHAT IS IT RIGHT NOW AND SO FORTH? YEAH, WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING THAT INFORMATION. I KNOW THAT THE NUMBERS DID GO UP AT LEAST LIKE 2 OR 3 YEARS IN A ROW FOR FREE, AND THE NUMBER OF KIDS ON FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH, THAT'S OUR MAIN INDICATOR. THE BIG QUESTION IS REALLY FOR THE FOOD PROVIDERS IN TOWN, LIKE THE FOOD PANTRY PROVIDERS. SO THAT'S THAT'S INFORMATION WE'RE COLLECTING RIGHT NOW. SO YEAH, I'LL SHARE THAT ONCE WE GET THA.
[VII. NEW BUSINESS]

SO MONTGOMERY EMS, I THINK OCTOBER 19TH WAS THE DATE IT CAME OUT HAS BEEN AWARDED NEW JERSEY COUNCIL, NEW JERSEY EMS COUNCIL SQUAD OF THE YEAR. YEAH.SO IT'S. VOLUNTEER. SO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT'S AWARDED TO A VOLUNTEER SQUAD THAT'S IN GOOD STANDING WITH THE VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY AND HAS PROVEN TO, YOU KNOW, DO A LOT FOR THE COMMUNITY AND EXCELLENCE OF SERVICE. AND SO WE'RE ALL VERY PROUD OF THAT. AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF LIKE PUTTING OUT SOME SIGNS TO KIND OF HIGHLIGHT THAT AND LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE COVERED BY A SENIOR AWARD, BY AN AWARD WINNING CREW. YEAH. THAT'S AMAZING. AND ONCE AGAIN, THEY'RE FULLY VOLUNTEER. SO YES, YOU KNOW, AND THE AND THE YOU KNOW,

DOCTOR NEWMAN DID NOT WANT ME TO SAY THIS, AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE LOOK ON HER FACE, I DON'T EVEN KNOW. I DON'T I JUST KNOW YOU WON AN AWARD, AND I WANTED TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON WINNING AN AWARD. BECAUSE SHE'S TRYING TO KEEP IT ON THE DOWN LOW. AND I'M NOT GOING TO LET HER. THE OTHER THING, TOO, I JUST WANTED TO BRING TO PEOPLE'S ATTENTION IS THERE IS A5K IN VETERANS PARK.
