OLD BUSNESS

Water Quality of Cranbury Brook – The Secretary advised that the Environmental
Commission has not conducted any recent water tests at Brainerd Lake.

The Board opined that the water should be tested in May prior to the Fishing Derby
scheduled for June. Standard testing should be done for, including, but not limited to, nitrates,
BOD, phosphates and fecal coliform.

Rabies Protocol – Cat Licenses – Mr. Butler provided copies of Ordinances from other
municipalities for the Board’s review. Chairwoman Coyle advised that she spoke with Christine Smeltzer, Township Administrator, regarding the possibility of implementing licensing for cats and
was advised that the Township has previously addressed this issue. Chairwoman Coyle will
contact Pari Stave, the Township Committee Board of Health Liaison. Dr. Notterman stressed the
fact that the Township Committee needs to be well informed of the ramifications of not licensing
cats.

Dog Census – Mr. Longo advised that there was almost full compliance from residents in
connection with the dog summonses. Out of the total summonses issued, only three residents were
charged with failure to appear in court.

Needs Assessment – Christine Smeltzer, Township Administrator, provided a Memorandum
to the Board advising that the First Aid Squad receives $70,000.00 annually from the Township.
The Board opined that the First Aid Squad should be required to do some type of reporting, mainly
for the purpose of being able to plan for growth. Chairwoman Coyle will contact Pari Stave for
recommendations on how to get information from the First Aid Squad.

Senior Center Health Screenings – Dr. Robyn Notterman is available on May 30, 2008, at
1:00 p.m. to conduct dermatologist and skin screenings. A privacy screen will need to be provided
as well as a nurse to help.

AED Equipment in Public Places – Dr. Shakun reported that Four Seasons and the
Cranbury Presbyterian Church have AED equipment, but the Cranbury Methodist Church does not.
Dr. Shakun will contact St. David’s Episcopal Church and the Chimmaya Mission to inquire if they
have AED equipment.

Mrs. Gerberich spoke to the Mayor, who advised that the Township Committee should
purchase AED equipment for Town Hall and the Friends of the Library should be asked to purchase
equipment for the Library. Training on the equipment would need to be provided and someone
would have to be responsible for the apparatus and testing. Mrs. Gerberich suggested that training
be held in conjunction with the training held at Cranbury School run by CentraState. She will get
information and also contact the Friends of the Library.
