WE ARE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER WINNING SEASON AND THE PATRIOTS OWNERS AND THE MANAGERS WERE SAYING WE PROBABLY NEED TO PREPARE FOR A BIGGER CASE BECAUSE THEY ANTICIPATE DOING CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER CHAMPIONSHIP.

SO IF YOU MISS THE ONE ON MAY 6TH, YOU COULD GO TO THE ONE ON MAY 16TH. AND AS DIRECTOR ROBINSON MENTIONED, WE HAVE OUR CELEBRATION OF 25 YEARS OF BASEBALL. SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET, WHOEVER TOOK THESE PHOTOS DID A REALLY GOOD JOB. IF YOU CAN'T RECOGNIZE THIS FROM THERE. BUT IT REALLY GOES THROUGH SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR TEAM HERE AT SOMERSET COUNTY AND OUR PRIVATE PARTNERS WITH THE [INAUDIBLE] FAMILY, WITH THE PATRIOTS STADIUM, WE CELEBRATED OUR 8 MILLIONTH FAN FOR THE PATRIOTS THE PAST GAME ON FRIDAY AND HAD A NICE CELEBRATION ON THE FIELD. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF PASSING OUT A SIGNED BAT FROM ALL THE PATRIOTS PLAYERS WITH SOME OF THE TEAM MEMBERS THERE. AND THEN THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE CIRCULAR YOU CAN SEE THE MOBILE OUTREACH VAN TO BRING SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITIES. AND RICHARD HALL, PARTNERS WITH ZUFALL TO OFFER MEDICAL DENTAL SERVICES. SO IT KIND OF GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A BACKGROUND. SOME OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS, WHICH YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HEAR AS MUCH, BUT THEY ARE DOING AN EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF WORK. OUR SURROGATE'S OFFICE SURROGATE JALLOH IS LAUNCHING AN ONLINE PROBATE FILING AND OF COURSE, HIGHLIGHTING ONE OF OUR GEMSTONES WITH THE WELCOMING OF HORSES AT LORD STERLING STABLES. ONE THING ON THE BACK, WHICH I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT IS THAT WE ALSO HAVE A SECTION IN SPANISH. SO FOR ANYONE THAT DOES NOT SPEAK ENGLISH AS A FIRST LANGUAGE OR IS LOOKING TO GET MORE INVOLVED AS THEY ARE SETTLING HERE IN THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN NEW JERSEY, WE DO TRY TO MAKE IT INCLUSIVE. THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. THANKS, COMMISSIONER. I HAD THE PLEASURE WITH COMMISSIONERS DRAKE AND COMMISSIONER SINGLETERRY TODAY TO TOUR THE VISIONS AND PATHWAYS FACILITY IN BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP. THEY DO EXTRAORDINARY WORK FOR SOME OF OUR YOUTH THAT ARE DISPLACED. SO GREAT JOBS BY THEM AND ALL OF THEIR ASSOCIATED FACILITIES THAT THEY'RE DOING WORK WITH. SO IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THEM APRIL 22ND. THEY'RE DOING A FUN RUN. SO IF ANYBODY CAN PARTICIPATE AND DONATE TO THE CAUSE, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. SAVE THE DATE. JULY 22ND, WE WILL BE HOSTING OUR HISTORY ON THE GREEN EVENT ON THE COURTHOUSE GREEN WITH HOPEFULLY GEORGE WASHINGTON'S TENT AGAIN. WE ALSO HAVE A FIFE AND DRUM CORPS THAT'S GOING TO BE PERFORMING A CONCERT THAT WEEKEND. SO IT SHOULD BE A REALLY EXCITING WEEKEND IF YOU'RE A HISTORY BUFF THAT'S THE WEEKEND TO MARK ON YOUR CALENDAR. I ALSO HAVE AN UPCOMING EVENT ON MAY 11TH. WE WILL HAVE OUR FAMILY FRIENDLY PICNIC AT DUKE ISLAND PARK FOR THE LGBT ADVISORY COMMITTEE. IT'S TECHNICALLY A PUBLIC MEETING FOR US, BUT IT'S REALLY MORE OF A MEET AND GREET AND A BYOE. [00:10:02] BRING YOUR OWN CHAIR, BRING YOUR OWN FOOD, BRING YOUR OWN DRINK. BUT WE'LL SUPPLY THE CAMARADERIE. AND WE ALSO HAVE MANY SERVICES THAT ARE AVAILABLE. MANY OF OUR PARTNER AGENCIES AND COUNTY DIVISIONS WILL BE THERE EXHIBITING, PROVIDING INFORMATION TO HELP THAT COMMUNITY. SO THAT'S MAY 11TH, FROM 5:30 TO 7:30 AT DUKE ISLAND PARK. AND LASTLY, IN THE LIBRARY REALM, I'M EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE MARY JACOBS LIBRARY 2.0 SHOULD BE OPENING HOPEFULLY LATER THIS MONTH. TIME AND DATE WILL BE ANNOUNCED. BUT AS YOU RECALL, MARY JACOBS DID CLOSE FOR A BIT WHILE THEY DID SOME RENOVATION AT THAT BUILDING. MARY JACOBS 2.0 WILL BE OCCUPYING A SMALLER SPACE IN THAT LOCATION DUE TO THE OPENING OF THE MONTGOMERY LIBRARY. SO THAT SHOULD BE COMING UP VERY SOON, HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THE MONTH. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. YEAH, JUST A FEW THINGS. IT WAS GOOD TO BE PART OF THE PATRIOT CELEBRATION. CERTAINLY GOOD LUCK TO THE PATRIOTS THROUGH THAT GREAT SEASON THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR. BUT THIS COMING YEAR. THE PARKS ARE OPEN WE WERE JUST TALKING BEFORE WITH COMMISSIONER MARANO ABOUT THE COLONIAL PARK PERENNIAL GARDEN. THOSE ARE SOON TO BE BLOOMING. SO GET OUT TO COLONIAL PARK IN THE COMING WEEKS AND YOU'LL SEE SOME SPECTACULAR PERENNIALS COMING INTO BLOOM. ROSE DAY IS JUNE 11TH. THAT'S AT THE RUDOLF VAN DER GOOT ROSE GARDEN AT COLONIAL PARK. ALSO, ALL THE GOLF COURSES ARE OPEN, INCLUDING WARREN BROOK. GOLF COURSE RESERVATION SYSTEM IS UP AND ACTIVE. YOU CAN RESERVE YOUR TEE TIMES ONLINE SEVEN DAYS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY OF THE FIVE COUNTY COURSES AND ALSO RESERVATIONS FOR THE SUMMER CAMP AT THE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CENTER ARE NOW BEING TAKEN FOR THE SUMMER. AND THEN ALSO WITH REGARD TO PLANNING, OUR PLANNING DIRECTOR WALTER LANE WAS ASKED TO PRESENT ON APRIL 4TH AT THE NEW JERSEY STATE PLANNING COMMISSION. AND AS ALWAYS, HE DID A GREAT JOB AND THE STATE PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTED THAT SOMERSET COUNTY IS REALLY THE MODEL FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW AND HOW GREAT REGIONAL AND COLLABORATIVE PLANNING SHOULD BE AND THE GREAT WORK THAT WE DO AND CERTAINLY WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR GREAT WORK THERE, WALTER. THE OFFICE OF PLANNING POLICY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES TO ASSIST BEDMINSTER TOWNSHIP TO ADVANCE THE REPURPOSING OF THE AT&T CAMPUS AS A LIFE SCIENCE CENTER INNOVATION HUB. SO REALLY, I THINK THAT'S DEMONSTRATES HOW COLLABORATIVE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE MUNICIPALITY, WE CAN TAKE THESE PROPERTIES THAT WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME BEING REPURPOSED AND WE WERE ABLE TO HELP THEM DIRECTLY. AND THEN I WANT TO REALLY EMPHASIZE THE HOUSING NAVIGATOR. IT'S AN ONLINE APPLICATION PROCESS, ONLINE APPLICATION USING GIS. IT WAS DEVELOPED BY [INAUDIBLE] AND OUR GIS SERVICES GROUP CONTINUES TO RECEIVE GREAT FEEDBACK FOR PROVIDING A NEW WAY TO SEARCH FOR SENIOR AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES. SO GO TO THAT GIS APPLICATION, THAT APP, AND IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THAT'S GOING TO TAKE YOU TO THE VARIOUS PLACES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY WHERE THAT IS AVAILABLE.

NOW I REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT THEIR WEBSITE, 22ND CENTURY TECHNOLOGIES. THERE'S NOTHING ON THEIR WEBSITE ABOUT COVID OR MEDICINE. IT'S A THEY CALL THEMSELVES A MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY COMPANY. SO MY TWO QUESTIONS ARE, WHY ARE WE SENDING OVER $40,000 TO THIS COMPANY IN VIRGINIA WHEN I'M SURE WE CAN HAVE THOSE SERVICES HERE IN NEW JERSEY? AND WHY THREE SEPARATE CONTRACTS WITHIN A MONTH? THANK YOU. UPA IS PROBABLY BEST TO ANSWER THAT SO SHE CAN EXPLAIN THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS ON HOW WE PICK THAT COMPANY. 22ND CENTURY TECHNOLOGIES IS A COMPANY THAT'S OFF OF THE NEW JERSEY STATE CONTRACT, SO THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY HAS AWARDED THEM A CONTRACT AND THEY ARE BASICALLY THE FUNCTION OF HOW WE GATHER NURSES. SO THEY'RE ARE TEMP SERVICE AND THOSE ARE THE TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING TO US FOR THE COVID CLINICS. SO THE STATE HAS VETTED THEM. THEY HAVE AWARDED THEM A STATE CONTRACT. WE'RE PERMITTED TO UTILIZE THE STATE CONTRACT AS A LOCAL AGENCY, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE UTILIZING IT FOR, TEMPORARY NURSING SERVICES. WE ALSO CAN'T GIVE PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT JUST TO A NEW JERSEY COMPANY. IF THEY'RE QUALIFIED AND THEY RESPOND, THEN THEY'RE QUALIFIED. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO COME FORWARD. DO WE HAVE ANYTHING ONLINE? WE DO NOT. ANYONE ON THE PHONE? NO. SEEING NONE AND HEARING NONE. OTHERS TAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC PORTION. MOTION. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. AYES HAVE IT. * This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
