The board approved the appointment of Kevin A. Van Hise as the new Board of Health attorney, although the positions for township physician and veterinarian remain vacant. This appointment was part of the resolutions adopted during the meeting.

Adjustmentsttention was paid to the organization and logistics of the upcoming rabies clinic scheduled for January 25, 2025, at Cranbury Station No. 2. The clinic will be for dogs only, requiring pre-registration, which can be completed through the township website. The board emphasized the importance of board member presence at the event, with two members already volunteering to attend. The rabies clinic’s pre-registration requirement is a relatively new process designed to manage participant flow and ensure safety.

The Health Officer’s report covered several public health matters, including satisfactory ratings for local food establishments and recreational facilities. The report also addressed complaints related to bird seed and rodent harborage, which were investigated but required no further action. Additionally, a plan review for a new restaurant, Indo Pac Fresh Market, was initially rejected due to non-compliance with health standards but later approved after adjustments were made.

The meeting concluded with a discussion on animal licensing requirements and the need for pet owners to license their animals by January 31, 2025, to avoid late fees. The board is considering organizing a second rabies clinic in the fall, with further planning contingent on the availability of veterinary services.
