Cranbury Board of Health Prepares for Changes with New Electronic Inspection System
- Meeting Overview:
The Cranbury Board of Health meeting focused on transitioning to a more digital approach for inspections and recognized the departure of a dedicated staff member, Scout, who is moving to a new role as clerk in North Hanover Township.
During the meeting, a significant topic of discussion was the introduction of an electronic inspection program for health inspections. Previously conducted on paper, inspections will now be facilitated through a new online portal, allowing inspection results to be signed on a tablet and emailed directly to business owners. This initiative aligns with a broader movement toward digital processes, although Middlesex County, where Cranbury is located, is one of the last to adopt this system. The health officer informed that this transition is not part of a statewide mandate but a county initiative to improve efficiency.
In old business, the Board reviewed the outcomes of the recent rabies clinic. A total of 35 dogs were vaccinated, with a mix of pre-registered and walk-up attendees. There was a discussion regarding the potential recognition of Dr. Madzy as the township veterinarian. While he expressed willingness to continue his association with the Board, clarity was sought on the responsibilities and official recognition associated with the township veterinarian role.
The meeting also covered routine updates, such as animal licensing. The Board reminded residents of upcoming deadlines, with late fees and fines detailed for unlicensed pets. An online payment option is now available to facilitate the licensing process.
