AND THEN, OTHERWISE, WE'LL GO ON WITH OUR MEETING.
ALL RIGHT. WE WILL MOVE ON WITH OUR REGULAR.
WE WILL MOVE ON WITH OUR REGULAR SCHEDULED PROGRAM.
I WILL KEEP MY REMARKS VERY BRIEF SO THAT WE CAN MOVE THIS PROGRAM RIGHT ALONG.
SO WITH THE CIACC, THE CHILDREN'S INTERAGENCY COORDINATING COUNCIL THEY MET ON TODAY, BUT THERE IS A QPR, WHICH IS A SUICIDE PREVENTION CERTIFICATION COURSE.
IT IS A FREE TWO HOUR EVIDENCE BASED TRAINING.
AND THEY WILL BE OFFERING COURSES ON THE FOLLOWING DATES.
BUT CERTAINLY YOU CAN GO ON THE WEBSITE. IT WILL BE JULY 10TH, 2025, 6 P.M.
TO 8 P.M. THE 22ND. 9 A.M. TO 11 A.M. JULY 29TH.
6 P.M. TO 8 P.M. AND JULY 30TH. 9 A.M. TO 11 A.M.
AND AS A CERTIFIED QPR, WHICH IS QUESTION, PERSUADE, REFER.
YOU RECOGNIZE THE WARNING SIGNS OF SUICIDE. INCREASE AWARENESS OF STIGMA.
UNDERSTAND SUICIDE IS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE. OFFER HOPE TO THOSE WHO NEED IT.
IDENTIFY LOCAL AND NATIONAL RESOURCES AND YOU WILL BE JOINING OVER 50, EXCUSE ME.
5 MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE WORKING TOGETHER TO SAVE A LIFE.
AND AGAIN, THIS IS A TWO HOUR EVIDENCE BASED TRAINING PROVIDING PRACTICAL AND PROVEN SUICIDE PREVENTION STRATEGIES FOR HOME, SCHOOL, WORK AND IN YOUR COMMUNITY. THE HOMELESSNESS TRUST FUND COMMITTEE MET, COMMISSIONER DRAKE AND I ATTENDED, AND IN MARCH OF 2025, THE AVERAGE RENT LISTED FOR A TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT IN THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE COUNTY WAS $2,831, WHICH REQUIRES AN ANNUAL SALARY OF $113,240 TO RENT AFFORDABLY.
WE ALSO HAD A FINANCIAL SUMMARY, WHICH THE FUND HAS COLLECTED SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2011 OF $1.7 MILLION, AND FUNDS HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATED FOR ADMINISTRATION FEES, CODE BLUE, CONSTRUCTION, LEGAL SERVICES TO PREVENT EVICTION, SERVICE PROGRAM AND RENTAL ASSISTANCE. WE CURRENTLY COLLECT A SURCHARGE OF $5 ON THE FEE TO RECORD A RELEASE DOCUMENTS THAT ARE PROCESSED THROUGH THE COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE. SO WE CONTINUE TO DO THE IMPORTANT WORK.
AGAIN, HAPPY GRADUATION TO ALL OF OUR GRADUATES, WHETHER COLLEGE, MIDDLE SCHOOL, PRE-K, KINDERGARTEN, HIGH SCHOOL. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE GREAT THINGS THAT YOU'VE DONE.
I WILL YIELD MY TIME WITH THE VOTECH TO COMMISSIONER DEPUTY DIRECTOR MARANO, WHO GAVE EXCELLENT REMARKS AND A POWERHOUSE OF STELLAR STUDENTS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF SOMERSET COUNTY VOTECH.
THEY ARE SECOND TO NONE. PHENOMENAL, PHENOMENAL, PHENOMENAL.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH, DIRECTOR. SO VERY BUSY FEW WEEKS.
I HAD A CHANCE TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH TEAM IN SOMERVILLE THE OTHER FRIDAY NIGHT.
[00:10:01]
AND SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, I THINK, UNTIL THROUGH NOVEMBER.SO WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF TIME ON THERE, BUT A GREAT EVENT WAS THERE.
IT'S GREAT HAPPENINGS THERE. UPCOMING, REMEMBER THAT THE 4H FAIRGROUNDS WILL HOST THE FIREWORKS AND CONCERT ON THE 4TH OF JULY, WHICH IS A FRIDAY NIGHT THAT'S ALWAYS A PACKED HOUSE.
WE'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE HISTORY ON THE GREEN ON JULY 19TH, RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF THE COURTHOUSE, WHICH OUR CULTURAL AND HERITAGE TEAM WILL BE OUT THERE.
RE-ENACTORS, I BELIEVE GEORGE AND MARTHA ARE BOTH COMING THIS YEAR.
WE'RE GETTING THE DYNAMIC DUO FROM THE POWER COUPLE, SO THAT SHOULD BE.
IT'S ALWAYS A LOT OF FUN FOR THAT EVENT ON THE GREEN.
OUR PUBLIC WORKS, WE HAD HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE WITH 871 CARS ON JUNE 28TH.
THIS SATURDAY, WE WILL BE HAVING OUR SHRED EVENT AT THE SOUTH COUNTY GARAGE IN HILLSBORO.
OUR TRANSPORTATION TEAM GOT TWO NEW LIGHT DUTY PUBLIC TRANSIT BUSSES THAT ARRIVED.
OUR EV BUSSES ARE ON RECALL, SO WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR A FEW MORE OF THOSE TO BE COMING AND BE DELIVERED, BUT THEY SHOULD BE HERE SOON. OUR VOTECH, AS THE DIRECTOR HAD SAID, I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THE GRADUATION, AND I GOT TO TELL YOU THAT THE SPEECHES BY THE VALEDICTORIANS AND THE SALUTATORIANS WERE SO POWERFUL.
SO AS THE DIRECTOR SAID, WE HAVE A LOT OF GREAT TALENT HERE IN SOMERSET COUNTY THAT WE'RE CULTIVATING, WHICH IS AWESOME. I ALSO HAD A CHANCE TO ATTEND THE MEETING BECAUSE COMMISSIONER SINGLETERRY NOW BEING VACATED FROM THE BOARD AND THEY AWARDED, THE VFW WAS THERE TO AWARD THE NATIONAL TEACHER OF THE YEAR TO ED GRAF OF THE VOT ECH.
AND HE'S THE PERSON THAT RUNS THE PROUD TO BE AMERICAN DAY.
SO, SO WELL DESERVED. AND BECAUSE ED WAS THE TEACHER OF THE YEAR, THE SOMERSET COUNTY VO TECH IS THE SCHOOL OF THE YEAR, AND THEY WERE AWARDED A $1,000 CHECK TO BE USED BY THE STUDENTS.
SO IT WAS REALLY EXCITING AND ESPECIALLY EXCITING AT VOT ECH IS CONSTRUCTION IS COMING ALONG.
IT SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY JULY 16TH, FINGERS CROSSED.
THEY ARE ANTICIPATING GET THE STUDENTS IN THERE FOR SEPTEMBER.
SO IT'S REALLY CLOSE ON THE TIMELINE BY THE TIME THEY FINISH CONSTRUCTION, GET EVERY PERMIT DONE, SIGN OFF ON EVERYTHING, AND GET ALL THOSE DESKS AND SUPPLIES IN THERE.
BUT THEY'RE RIGHT ON TRACK. SO THIS IS SO, SO EXCITING FOR VOTECH.
OUR LGBT BOARD IS TONIGHT AT THE PATRIOTS PARK.
THEY'RE DOING A PRIDE NIGHT AT THE BALLPARK. AND ON THURSDAY, OUR TEAM IS ALIGNING WITH DOWNTOWN SOMERVILLE ALLIANCE FOR THE PRIDE EVENT HERE IN DOWNTOWN SOMERVILLE. SO THAT'S TAKING PLACE 7 TO 10 HERE IN SOMERVILLE THIS THURSDAY.
EVERY SOMERSET COUNTY TOWN IS NOW A RED NJ TOWN WITH THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY .
IT TOOK A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA POKING AND PRODDING ON MY PART BY REMINDING PEOPLE TO DO THIS, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT BECAUSE WE ARE NOW AT 100%, EVERY TOWN IN SOMERSET COUNTY.
SO WE ARE THE ONLY COUNTY IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY TO HAVE 100% COMPLIANCE ON THAT.
SO WE'RE EXCITED AS WE PREPARE FOR THE 250TH.
AND LAST, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, WE HAD A WONDERFUL MEETING HERE LAST WEEK WITH [INAUDIBLE].
REPRESENTATIVES FROM AMTRAK, NEW JERSEY TRANSIT, THE REGIONAL PLANNING AUTHORITY.
WHO AM I MISSING HERE? YEAH. THE NJTPA. I HAD TO WRITE THEM DOWN.
WE HAD REPRESENTATIVES FROM BOTH OF THE US SENATORS OFFICES, CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATION, BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, MAYORS FROM, I THINK, CLOSE TO 20 TOWNS THROUGHOUT THE RARITAN VALLEY LINE.
THIS IS THE MAYOR'S RARITAN VALLEY ALLIANCE THAT WAS REKINDLED TO REALLY PUT UP THE PRESSURE.
HOW DO WE GET A ONE SEAT RIDE ON THE RARITAN VALLEY LINE? WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO? SO, GOOD NEWS IS, PHASE ONE OF THAT PROJECT IS DONE.
IT'S NOT DONE. IT'S FULLY FUNDED. IT WON'T BE DONE FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
BUT THAT'S THE NEW TUNNELS. AND IT'S ALSO THE PORTAL NORTH BRIDGE.
[00:15:05]
BIPARTISAN PRESS. BECAUSE PHASE TWO IS NOT FUNDED.THE HUNTER FLYOVER, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS FUNDED, BUT IT'S NOT.
AND THAT COULD GIVE US SOME DIM HOPE. WE HAVE DIM HOPE IF WE DON'T GET THIS PHASE TWO FUNDING.
SO WE MUST GET TOGETHER. PLEASE PETITION YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT WE NEED THIS.
HOW DOES THAT CHANGE IN NEWARK AFFECT YOUR LIFE? I KNOW I TOLD MY TESTIMONY OF HOW, WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MOTHER AND HAD INFANTS AT HOME CHANGING TRAINS IN NEWARK, THAT'S COSTING ME A HALF HOUR A DAY. THAT COST ME THE TIME SO THAT NOW WHEN I GET HOME, I'VE GOT SCREAMING BABY INSTEAD OF HAPPY BABY.
SO THESE LIVES ARE REAL. AND I ASK YOU, I'M BEGGING YOU, PLEASE PETITION YOUR FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES THAT WE NEED THE PHASE TWO FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT FOR THE GATEWAY TUNNEL. SO THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. AND OVER AT THE SOMERSET COUNTY BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP, WE HAD BIZ FEST, THIS WAS OUR LARGEST ONE YET. WE HAD OVER 900 BUSINESSES PARTICIPATE AND THAT WAS ON A RAINY DAY AT THE PATRIOTS BALLPARK.
SO WE'RE EXCITED FOR HOW QUICKLY WE ARE GROWING, ESPECIALLY WITH THE EXCITEMENT FROM THE HUB.
LAST TUESDAY OVER AT THE PALACE WE HAD THE MEET THE GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES.
AND THERE WAS GREAT CONVERSATION BETWEEN BOTH CANDIDATES.
HOW ARE WE PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE? HOW ARE WE MAKING SURE THAT WE REINVEST INTO HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION? AND WHAT'S GREAT IS THAT WE KNOW THE PROBLEMS AND THEY HAVE PROPOSED FANTASTIC SOLUTIONS.
SO IF YOU WERE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND, IT WAS STANDING ROOM ONLY.
WE HAD A GREAT TURNOUT RIGHT HERE IN SOMERSET COUNTY, AND IT WAS THEIR FIRST REALLY DEBUT TOGETHER.
SO I DO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO TUNE IN ALONG THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ELECTION, AS THEY ALL ARE.
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE.
OVER AT MATHENY, WE HAD THE GRADUATION ALONGSIDE OF OUR VOTECHS AS WELL.
I SERVE AS THE LIAISON FOR THE NJTPI. THAT'S THE NORTH JERSEY TRANSPORTATION AND PLANNING AUTHORITY.
EVEN THOUGH WE ARE CENTRAL, THEY DO LOOP US IN THERE.
THE HUNTER BRIDGE FLYOVER, THAT IS GOING TO BE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION.
I HAVE BEEN MAKING SURE THAT WE ADVOCATE FOR THAT ALONGSIDE OF OUR OTHER MEMBERS ON THE RARITAN VALLEY LINE, BECAUSE THAT IS ABLE TO ELIMINATE A LOT OF THE BOTTLENECKING THAT'S OCCURRING IN ORDER TO KEEP OUR TRAINS MOVING AND KEEP THEM ON TIME AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. I JUST WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO COMMISSIONER GRANER.
I'M SURE WITH COMMISSIONER MARANO, ALWAYS A GREAT EVENT.
AND MY LAST COMMENT WAS THAT STARTING SUNDAY, THE 6TH OF JULY, DUKE ISLAND PARK WILL START THE CONCERT SERIES AT DUKE ISLAND PARK, WHICH IS ALWAYS A GREAT. FAMILY FUN STARTS AT 6:30 AT DUKE ISLAND PARK LAST ABOUT 8:00.
AND IT'S A FREE EVENT, SO COME ON OUT AND ENJOY SOME GREAT MUSIC AND THERE'LL BE FOOD TRUCKS.
AND JUST BRING YOUR LAWN CHAIRS. AND THAT'S INTO MY REPORT.
OKAY. THOUGH I DO NOT YET HAVE A REPORT FOR PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY, I DO WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY HOW HONORED AND GRATEFUL I AM TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH EXCELLENT COMPANY.
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO BUILDING ON YOUR LEGACY IN ORDER TO KEEP SOMERSET COUNTY A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE FEEL SEEN, HEARD AND RESPECTED AND VALUED. THANK YOU. I FAILED TO MENTION THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 27TH ON THESE
