Regular Meeting Minutes – May 9, 2016
Health
Mr. Catalanello, Chair of the Committee made the following comments:
The Madison Health Department held two food handler’s courses on April 18th,
noting the goal of these courses is to protect citizens from contracting and
transmitting of food borne illnesses and to educate food service operators about
safe food handling practices. Once a year, the public health nurse is required to
conduct immunization audits of all daycare centers, public schools and contract
communities. The goal is to insure all children in the community are properly
vaccinated and immunized against illness, noting if a child is not up to date on
vaccines, that child will be excluded from school unless they have a religious
exemption or a bona fide medical exemption. Madison had a 3.8% exemption rate
in the childcare preschool setting for mandated vaccines and a 2% exemption rate
for public school students. Most exemptions submitted in Madison are religious
requests. May is skin cancer awareness month. There are 3.5 million cases and
over 2 million people are diagnosed annually, noting that skin cancer is one of the
most common forms of cancer in the United States. Skin cancer is also one of the
most preventable forms of cancer. Mr. Catalanello reminded the public to take
precautions for over exposure to the sun. These precautions include covering up
with proper clothing and head wear, using the appropriate amount of sunscreen and
seeking shade whenever possible. In addition the Madison Health Department will
host a free skin cancer screening event at the Madison Community Pool on July
10th from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. The Madison Health Department is also gearing up for
their springtime screenings. There will be a woman’s cancer screening on May 16th,
from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and a men’s cancer screening on June 6th from 6:00
p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The Health Department is also hosting a comprehensive metabolic
profile fasting blood analysis on June 8th from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Registration
is now open and is required for all screening events.

within the Communications Division of the Police Department. Two recently

April 27th, the Madison Police donated two truckloads of toys to the Goryeb
Children’s Hospital in Morristown. On May 5th the Police Department received
$16,387.00 from the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Forfeiture Program, noting

private partnerships. Madison’s TriTown 55+ focus group emphasizes the need for
housing for seniors downsizing in search of smaller homes, noting that builders are
replacing smaller homes with larger homes and seniors are forced to relocate
elsewhere. Between 2010 and 2015 Transportation for Madison seniors has
doubled from 2,275 riders per year to 4,502 per year. A merchant outreach program
was created. Madison is well-positioned for life-long learning due to its proximity to
Drew University, the Fairleigh Dickinson FILL program, St. Elizabeth’s, Drew’s mini-
courses, the summer seminars and the Adult School. The Madison Chamber of
Commerce will again feature their Look Good, Feel Good Madison program, noting
it will showcase businesses in the fields of health, wellness and beauty. The Extra

schedule continues to grow, noting Madison has 22 different programs across 15

Seven Oaks, Sinclair, the Madison Recreation Complex access road, and the library
parking lots. The residents’ cooperation was greatly appreciated. Special thanks to
the traffic safety unit of Madison Police Department for keeping roads safe during
construction and keeping residents up to date on progress via the Nixle alert
system. Signage and striping will be completed by separate contractors under a
county cooperative pricing agreement. Cifelli & Sons Construction initiated the 2016
Road Improvement work on Loantaka Terrace this week. Subcontractor Reivax
Construction has started the water utility work on West Street. Sidewalk deflections
caused by Borough tree roots, which the staff recorded over the past year, will also

The Borough was awarded a $172,500 NJ Department of Transportation grant for
the Prospect Street Road Reconstruction project. Final cost estimates have been
produced and transmitted to the state. An appropriation request for $500,000 has
been made to fund this work from municipal General Capital Fund. Downtown
paver material orders have been placed with Grinnell and Hanover for delivery

will be replaced this summer by Bayer Masonry. PSE&G has informed Madison it
plans to replace gas mains and services on the following streets: Fairview, Hoyt,
Westerly, Central, Lorraine, Buckingham, East, Greenwood, West End and
Broadway. We have requested a five year projection so that Madison can work
more closely with the utility on replacement and resurfacing work. PSE&G has
committed to repave Fairview Avenue and Buckingham Drive within two weeks.
Quotes for irrigation improvements and seeding of existing fields are also being
assembled for work this fall. The final application of topsoil and seeding was
completed last week on the Memorial Park Skating Rink field. New irrigation work

Score Board at Madison Recreation Complex has been installed. The girls’ softball
