more than 180,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed this year and over 42,000 people

mammography and clinical breast exams could help the breast cancer death rate drop by
approximately 30%; and
WHEREAS, the American Cancer Society has searched endlessly for a cure
through vital research, and has the mammoth task of educating our community and all Americans of
the risks of breast cancer. Its many volunteers who offer support in the form of support groups,

REPORTS:
Mr. Palmer commented on A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Sept. 18 at the recently
renovated Elm Street Bridge, which connects Hillsborough and Branchburg over the South
Branch of the Raritan River. He noted that it is one of only two remaining lenticular truss
bridges in the state, and one of about 50 in the country. Lenticular trusses have top and bottom
chords that are curved, which creates a unique profile that resembles a lens shape.
Mr. Ciattarelli gave the following update on shared services:
It looks like the agreement between Somerville, Bridgewater and Raritan for the shared
use of Somerville’s wheel park is a go. The resolutions for each town for acceptance are
working its way through the process.
Discussions between Hillsborough and Millstone are set for early October for police
services. Presently, Millstone uses the NJ State Police for coverage and believes there is
a need for greater support. The logical source is Hillsborough. Will keep you in formed
of any progress.
Green Brook Township has decided to join the Business Partnership effective October 1.
I am hoping Bernardsville will be joining us at the same time. The BP did a presentation
for each of the governing bodies to explain the many services and advantages we have to
offer to our members.
This Friday we are sponsoring a program at the County’s OEM headquarters for Business
Recycling. We have over 60 businesses registered to date.
On October 16 we are sponsoring a workshop “Drugs Don’t Work in NJ”. This is an
accredited course offered through Drug Free NJ. We will be marketing this to
municipalities, school districts, and all of our members and partners.
The SCBP distributed a total of $50,000 to 33 businesses in Bound Brook and Manville
through the Grainger Corporation’s Rebuilding America Grant program. Each business
received $1,515.15 to help them recover from the April ’07 flood.
We are working with RVCC’s Small Business Development office and the merchants in
Bound Brook and Manville for bi-lingual seminars and workshops to help with their
recovery from the April flood.
Working with Dean Nancy Jordan of RVCC in cooperation with John Maddocks, our
Economic Development Manager, on a program for employee retention – education;
working with all of the county’s high schools for use of RVCC’s technology labs and
early college experience classes.
Mr. Fontana also commented on the Elm Street Bridge noting that it was originally purchased
by the county in 1896 from Berlin Iron Bridge Company of Connecticut. The bridge is a
lenticular through-truss bridge, which consists of two 137-foot spans supported in the middle by
a stone pier and abutments. He also noted that The Neshanic Mills Historic District, of which
the Elm Street Bridge is a contributing element, is listed on the National and State Registers of
Historic Places.
Mike Amorosa informed the Board that after another inspection of the Woodfern Road Bridge,
it was noted that the pin on the other side is also bent. The inspection confirms the suspicion that
an overweight vehicle went over the bridge and caused the damage. Public Works Staff is
looking into corrective measures to prevent overweight vehicles from using the bridge.
At this time Mr. Miller asked that a resolution concerning the
settlement of a lawsuit be added to the agenda.
After discussion, Mr. Fontana moved that the resolution be added as
R07-654. The Motion, duly seconded by Mr. Palmer was adopted by voice vote.
PUBLIC PORTION
At this time Director Zaborowski opened the meeting to the public and
asked if there was anyone present who wished to be heard.
Ron Haikes, Bridgewater, asked for an update on the Park Commission
and asked now that finance, engineering and purchasing have been moved to the county, whether
or not salaries would be adjusted to reflect the move.
There being no one present who wished to be heard, Director
Zaborowski declared the public portion closed.

RESOLUTION SUPPORTING LEGISLATION ENABLING
HOMELESS TRUST FUND ACCOUNTS
WHEREAS, in 1987 the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders
designated the Somerset County Board of Social Services the lead county agency in responding
to homeless assistance needs; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Social Services has experienced that the
overriding factor contributing towards Somerset County’s homeless problem is a lack of
affordable housing, particularly for low income families and individuals; and
WHEREAS, current levels of available funding along with private
initiatives at low income housing development have not kept up with the growing needs; and
WHEREAS, homelessness negatively impacts the entire community
affecting not only multi-generations of homeless victims but as well as negatively impacting the
quality of life for all residents; and
WHEREAS, other states have passed legislation allowing local
jurisdictions to establish “Homeless Trust Fund” accounts which have been proven effective in
providing local communities with a sustainable source of revenue designed to specifically be
used to address low income housing needs; and
WHEREAS, there is a growing initiative to encourage the New Jersey
legislature to enact similar Homeless Trust Fund legislation that would provide jurisdictions
within New Jersey the authority to voluntarily elect to establish a Homeless Trust Fund; and
WHEREAS, once established the Somerset County Homeless Trust Fund
would also be able to leverage additional Federal and State funding to help increase affordable
housing stock within the county and reduce the number of county residents who experience
homelessness.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Somerset County
Board of Chosen Freeholders endorses the need to establish a Somerset County Homeless Trust
Fund and encourage members of the New Jersey State Legislature to pass enabling legislation as
soon as possible for the Governor of New Jersey to sign such legislation; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the
Governor of the State of New Jersey, the Acting Commissioner of the Department of Human
Services, the Commissioner of the Department of Children & Families, all Legislators
representing Somerset County, the New Jersey Association of Counties and all County Welfare
Agencies.

RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE PROVISION OF ADEQUATE FUNDING TO
NOT-FOR-PROFIT CHILD CARE PROVIDERS
WHEREAS, the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders is
committed to the principles of Welfare Reform and to assisting all families dependent upon
public assistance in developing the necessary skills and having the required community based
support needed to become self-sufficient through employment; and
WHEREAS, community based not-for-profit agencies are essential
partners in any successful effort at welfare reform; and
WHEREAS, Child Care Services are core services basic to this effort; and
WHEREAS, Child Care Providers who are willing to accept the State-
approved reimbursement rates for child care services receive compensation below the cost of
providing these services; and
WHEREAS, there already is an inadequate number of these child care
providers; and
WHEREAS, Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA) provided by the State of
New Jersey to these providers do not adequately account for the actual administrative cost
increases to these service providers; and
WHEREAS, as a direct result of this inadequate funding a crisis situation
exists, which seriously threatens affordable child care providers to continue to provide these
essential services.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Somerset County
Board of Chosen Freeholders finds the support of the local child care community essential
components in the success of county residents ability to become self-sufficient; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Somerset County Board of
Chosen Freeholders urges the State of New Jersey to provide to not-for-profit child care agencies
in Somerset County and throughout the state the financial support they need to adequately serve
all customers in need of child care services regardless of their ability to pay; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the
Governor of the State of New Jersey, the Acting Commissioner of the Department of Human
Services, the Commissioner of the Department of Children & Families, all Legislators
representing Somerset County, the New Jersey Association of Counties and all County Welfare
Agencies.
