property owner. And on the 17th, there was a solid waste complaint, but there was no cause for action. Do you want me to do the um environmental next or the July? May I ask a question? Were you those complaints addressed?
So 12 Cranberry Neck Road is actually a property where now the owner is living in South Carolina. So it's been difficult to get in touch with him. So I actually wrote two separate they'll be on the following month reports um two separate notice of violations and I just issued a summary. So, we have court this
Wednesday, which I still have not. So, I've actually emailed the ticket to South Carolina and also to his um address in Cranberry as well, but I've never heard response. So, I'm assuming he will not in on
Wednesday. Thank you. What do you do like if someone leaves? Is can someone go out there and just like cut the stuff at some point or Well, that's what like if the court the court might order in they're like, "Hey, we got to cut the lawn." Right. Well, that's what the issue is
because they're basically the complaintant that lives behind him. He keeps his property immaculate and well-maintained. So, I see there's really nothing that this is as far as I can go. I can't Yeah. He was asking about putting a lean against his property and everything.
That's really Yes. Yeah. That's court. Yeah. Any other questions? If not, environmental environmental for the month of June for septic activities. On the 24th, there was a

there was a complaint on from 63 staff main street that there was overgrown vegetation, bushes, and shrubs. And on the 9th, the same complaintant that I inspected the property and their shrubs were not impacting pedestrian access to the sidewalk. So I deemed it no cause
for action. Anyone have any questions? So, um, when when you go check out the the complaint about the sidewalk and stuff, is that is that the standard basically like if the shrubs aren't growing too far out the sidewalk and people can just like walk by or
whatever, then just you don't have to really worry about it. Basically, it was it was the landscaping that someone just wasn't happy that the type of bush it was. I see they weren't happy that it was sticking out a little bit too far, but it Yeah, people could walk by.
100%. You could fit two people walking by. Yeah. What happened with the dumpster? The dumpster. Um, I'm trying to remember now. Oh, that was someone was complaining
that there was a the um property next to them, but it was really for like an event that they were having. So, it was taken away. They got that. So, it was nothing. Okay. Thank you. For environmental the month of July, for

but the bathroom in the garage was not reflected in the permit. So, the permit had to be rescended. I can double check with our environmental decision to see what that address was. And then for water activities on the 9th there was a trench inspection completed and approved
at 114 South Main Street. Questions? Yeah. So will you update the report with the address? Is that what So I actually don't prepare the environmental. So I do all the food ones. The environmental basically sends me this. So I basically just read it to you and any questions I I'll get back.
Okay. Basically Kim Ho that was here. Um, yes, she's a supervisor, so I go to her and ask. Okay. Or she publish that. Yes. All right. Thank you. Thanks, Taylor.
Old business. I had the last discussion was any outstanding licenses that we had that were still outstanding. Have they all been updated? Um, those were the residents that received the court summons. So, it would be in the courts now.
How many were there? Um, I believe three. I don't want to misspeak, but it was just around three or so. Will the court notify us of any action to or we just wait to hear for the next license? Even if they resolve the the court fine,
they would have to still come in to renew their license with me. Do we ever get like a town bit? Yes. He's in. He's in. Oh, great. It's great.
Yeah. Yeah. I think between me and Jean, we got That's great. So, he's committed. That's great. Which is a perfect segue to the first new business. segue nicely. Did you want to talk about it or should
I No, I could talk about it. Um, so for the rabies clinic, um, the board will decide if we're hosting the free rabies clinic for the town by December 1st. Um, and if so, then we would complete a, um, it's a one-page report. Um, and it's a
notice of intent that would be sent to the county to let them know. Very good. So maybe for discussion, I just want to affirm last year we did January 23rd, I believe, at the end of the month. That worked, I thought, very well and we were mentioning briefly on
the recap that because we had a degree of registration, we were still able to manage the flow but also accept walk-ins. I think that worked well. Um, so I guess in terms of the rabies clinic, I'll propose that we select a date very close, which would be I think
Saturday, January 24th, so pretty much the same time for this coming January is if that is acceptable. I can reach out to Dr. Madsy and see if he would be willing to come on that Saturday. Yes. And then I would make sure that the
firehouse is available um and that the animal control officer could be there. So, Saturday, January 24th. So, to follow up on that, Lauren, do I just message you once I hear back? Yes, I posted, right? 2026 meeting dates. I know
everybody is thrilled that we spend so much time together, but we do have proposals for changes for next year. And so, uh, for the meeting dates, I know Lauren's already put out a couple proposed dates here. Uh, the first of
which, uh, Jean and Kathy, for sure, is to move to an every other month schedule and a consideration to move it to Tuesdays instead of Mondays. And that would enable Lauren, who is also works a
shortened week but longer hours. this would be in keeping with the working time schedule. So do we have a copy that everyone can look at? I know we don't have calendars here in front of us but I think an area for discussion and consideration is can
we move or are there any concerns moving to every other month schedule and any concerns for known schedule conflicts with Tuesdays and if necessary we can take this and follow up with it but that's the discussion topic. anything
you wanted to add? Um, just the asterisks I pointed out um are just noting that it's primary and general election those days. Um, so that's why those wouldn't be the first Tuesday of that month. So let's say uh for argument sake
something comes up uh pressing for the board of health in between the meetings, right? So, we could probably like spin up a meeting if we needed to like, you know, if it was You can always schedule um a meeting. I
would just have to do like the legal ad process. Exactly. But definitely if something came up, you would just Yeah. What is the notification period if it were to happen at hawk? Um, so I typically try to do it um two weeks before and that's um we would do the
legal ad in the newspapers um and then we would send the agenda for that meeting 48 hours before I for all right take a motion or is there for discussion? Um, we could we could do a vote if we approve the dates.
Let's do a a motion. Do we have a motion to vote on uh changes to the schedule for 2026? Motion to change the schedule. Motion. I'll second that. And then a roll call vote. Miss Estes, yes. Dr. Greywall, yes.
Mr. Markham, yes. Mr. Marsher, yes. Mr. McDermott, yay. Right. Thank you. Right. So, uh, the proposed date change is going to move to every other month and also to convert from a Monday, first
of the month to the Tuesday with the two exceptions being in March and November consistent with both the primary and the general election. So, can I get a motion to those date changes? Do we have to vote on that as well?
I thought that was what the vote was. One was to change. I didn't All right. So, very good. We'll keep that. All right. Very good. So, then we'll consider it pass. Awesome. Please.
Come up with a list of phone numbers just in case we wanted to have another meeting. Did we do that? I have everyone's cell phone numbers, too. So I could definitely we should maybe share that so that we
all can get in touch in case we need to. Are we able to use a WhatsApp? So to my understanding um you can't have three board members meeting in a in a discussion. So it would be more you guys would go through
me. So I can definitely give you my number and I have everyone's personal cell phone numbers too just in case. Yeah. So the next topic is the 2026 budget. I know it's a massive budget that we oversee here at board of health.
It's really an incredible change. But we did have and will be submitting the budget. I think things that are consistent on the annual fee. I'm just looking here. um any suggested changes. So what we had had that was of line item interest was
advertising for rabies clinic. We did have membership dues which are available I believe this month for the board of health in general and we do have some professional service available to us should we require an attorney. That's pretty much the entirety of the
budget. I didn't know if anyone had any proposed suggested additions to the budget outside of what we typically do. I'm sensing that's a no. Have much we used this year.
So, we used the $95 registration fee. We did not use any legal fee. And I do intend to create some type of signage hopefully for the rabies clinic. Yeah. That would be it. How how much is allowed for the attorney? 1550.
Okay. And and what about the other? So no other suggestions. Okay. Sounds good. Very good. So I did have one addition to discussion for new business and this has to do with communications and the
website for the tangent. There's a number of public health topics that are obviously of interest and I would like to propose and suggest discussion with the board of having some of those things included on our own website meaning links outward. So I didn't know if
members of the board had any specific areas of interest. I'll note three that I know I wanted to bring up. One, the state of New Jersey continues to track measles outbreaks in the state of Jersey and as of this moment, there were 10 cases still ongoing, nonk known to be
communities. So, I think we should continue to keep track of any outbreaks. It does not it is not the case in New Jersey, but that we continue to link to the state. Um, there's also health management programs and I know Taylor can help represent if necessary with
questions, but there are county uh health management programs. There's actually one that's enabled through registration of this Wednesday. It's a six-week program for individuals. So, the idea of being post any of these additional public health interest programs or educational events so that
the town also has a link to ongoing opportunities. And then also we recognize there's a number of changes from the CDC ACIP related to public health and I thought it would be good to link also to our state Austin government websites on what is that information so
that when they have meaning people and our patients in our town have discussions with their healthcare provider they can do so with the right information. So that that was the area of discussion. um any concerns or issues or interests to ensure that we can
connect the link of our community site to some of these other ones as well. Yeah, I tend to tend to favor more more information is better. I think the the problem of linking out is always like when the link goes bad or like no one's
paying attention and you know, you know, things there and stuff. So, as long as we're like willing to kind of keep it up or whatever. It's a good idea. Yeah, I'm willing to keep it updated at least.
Yeah, double check and see what current status is. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, I think it's a great idea more resources for you know local. I think um we should do like a formal
motion second for the budget. Just a formal. Okay. So, let's formally vote. Do we have a motion to pass the outline of renewal for the budget? A motion for the budget to vote on the budget. Yeah.
To accept uh renewing the budget as funded in 2024 for 25. So, meaning we would focus on three areas. Those three are again education uh membership dues and professional
services line item for attorney fees if you're necessary. Those would be the three line items. The total amount for 2025 was 1,900. So 1900. Thank you. Motion to approve to approve
the budget. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Can I have a second? Second. All right. Then I'll do a roll call vote. Miss Estz, yes. Dr. Greywall, yes. Mr. Maramp, yes. Mr. Marsher,
yes. Mr. McDermott. All right. Thank you very much. question. [Music] So, it's $95 to um I have the it's the
board of health um membership like the annual membership is $95 to the state. Oh, okay. Thank you. Any
other new business? If not, we could do everyone's favor. Public comment. I see no one here for public comment. So, with that, I'll make a motion to adjourn the meeting. All those in favor.
Thank you. Thank you.
