ALSO, ALL VETERANS WILL GET A DISCOUNT ON THEIR MEALS EVERY DAY.
THEY BELIEVE IN GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.
AND THEN ON YESTERDAY WE VISITED FRANKLIN FOOD BANK, WHERE WE WERE PART OF A ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION AS PART OF SENATOR CORY BOOKER'S 21 COUNTY TOUR, WHERE THERE WERE FOOD BANK LEADERS AROUND THE TABLE DISCUSSING THE IMPACTS OF POLICIES TO SNAP BENEFITS, GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE AND THE LIKE.
AND, AND THEY TOLD TESTIMONIES OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY WORKING AND STILL CAN'T AFFORD TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE TO BUY MEDICATION TO NAVIGATE LIFE, AS MOST OF US MAY KNOW IT. AND WHAT THEY'RE ENCOURAGING HIM AND HIS COLLEAGUES TO DO IN MAKING SURE THAT THOSE BENEFITS ARE INTACT AND PEOPLE ARE MADE WHOLE.

THERE WILL BE MUSIC RESOURCE TABLES, COMMUNITY SPEAKERS TELLING STORIES OF LOSS AND RECOVERY, AND A CANDLELIGHT VIGIL THAT ENDS MY REPORT. THANK YOU DIRECTOR.
MY REPORT IS ALL ABOUT AGRICULTURE TODAY. SOMERSET COUNTY BOARD OF AGRICULTURE ADOPTED A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF PRESERVING SMALLER FARMS THAT OFTEN DON'T QUALIFY UNDER THE CURRENT SADC OR STATE PROGRAMS.
[00:05:02]
COMPLETING OR PURCHASING THESE INFILL PROPERTIES HELP TO MAINTAIN CONTIGUOUS TRACTS OF FARMLAND.AND SO, TO DISCUSS APPLICABILITY, YOU CAN REACH OUT TO OUR COUNTY FARMLAND PRESERVATION PROGRAM.
IT'S A REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO HELP TO PRESERVE, AGAIN, THESE SMALL FARMS. AGRICULTURE IS ALSO BEING CELEBRATED IN SOMERSET COUNTY ON SATURDAY THE 29TH AT 10:00 P.M.
TO 2:00 P.M. AT THE LIMA FAMILY FARM. IT'S CALLED SOMERSET COUNTIES AG IN ACTION AND WILL GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY, SORT OF AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM ABOUT THE SOMERSET COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, AND IT SHOWCASES LOCAL FARMING PRACTICES.
YOU GET TO MEET WITH AGRICULTURAL PROFESSIONALS AND SUPPORT THE TOM EVERETT MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP, WHICH WILL HELP. AGAIN, THE 2026 EDITION WILL BE HELD AT THE LIMA FAMILY FARMS, A FIRST GENERATION FARM SPECIALIZING IN REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE AND PASTURE RAISED LIVESTOCK. SO AGAIN, THAT'S 10:00 TILL 2:00 P.M.
AT THE LIMA FARM IN HILLSBOROUGH. AND ALONG WITH THE LIMA FARM EVENT, LATER THAT EVENING AT 4:00, THERE WILL BE THE TOM EVERETT MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP DINNER.
TOM EVERETT WAS A FARMER IN HILLSBOROUGH. HE PASSED SOME TIME AGO.
BUT THIS IS SORT OF AN HONORARY SCHOLARSHIP TO REMEMBER HIM.
THIS SCHOLARSHIP WAS CREATED TO HONOR TOM'S PERSONAL AND AGRICULTURAL LEGACY, HIS INITIATIVE AND, AND LEADERSHIP, AND ALSO RECOGNIZE THIS INDIVIDUAL WHO IT RECOGNIZES INDIVIDUALS WHOSE GOALS ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH TOM'S LIVING DEFINITION OF SUCCESS.
SO IT'S A DINNER THAT'S SUPPLIED BY FARMERS IN SOMERSET COUNTY FROM THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY.
COOKED BY A LOCAL CHEF. THE DINNER WILL NOT ONLY SHOWCASE THE AMAZING FLAVORS OF OUR LOCAL PRODUCE AND MEATS, BUT ALSO SUPPORTS THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
AND FINALLY, LAST SUNDAY, I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND A DINNER AND A MOVIE AT NORZ HILL FARM, WHICH WAS ANOTHER WAY TO BRING ATTENTION TO OUR AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES IN THE COUNTY. FRESH FARM LOCAL RAISED BURGERS WERE ON THE GRILL, AND WE VIEWED A MOVIE CALLED THE FAMILY RECIPE, WHICH WAS REALLY PRETTY COOL. IT WAS A NEW MOVIE FILMED BY A LOCAL FILMMAKER HERE IN SOMERSET COUNTY.
SO IF YOU I REMEMBER MANY OF THOSE SUCH DINNERS GROWING UP.
AND WHEN YOU'RE GOING OUT TO RELATIVES FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER, IF YOU CAN ALL REMEMBER THAT THIS MOVIE SORT OF CAPTURES ALL THAT INTRICATE DETAILS THAT GO INTO THAT. SO REALLY A GOOD MOVIE TO WATCH.
VIEWING WILL BE COMING TO AT THE READING CINEMA IN MANVILLE SOON, SO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR IT.
AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CERTAINLY BEFORE THANKSGIVING TO GO WATCH THE FAMILY RECIPE BY FILMMAKER KARL RYAN ERICKSON FROM HILLSBOROUGH, NEW JERSEY. THAT'S IN MY REPORT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
SO LOTS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE IN ATTENDANCE.
AND IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO SEE OUR GROWING FOOTPRINT FOR BUSINESSES IN SOMERSET COUNTY.
I ATTENDED THE LAST NJTPA MEETING WHERE I'D LIKE TO THANK JOHN BARTLETT COMMISSIONER FROM PASSAIC COUNTY, SINCE THIS IS THE NORTH JERSEY TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AUTHORITY. BUT I WAS ABLE TO ASSUME HIS ROLE AS VICE CHAIR OF THE PROJECT PRIORITIZATION COMMITTEE, WHICH GIVES ME A BETTER POSITION TO BE ABLE TO BRING BACK DOLLARS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS TO SOMERSET COUNTY.
[00:10:04]
AND THAT'S JUST FROM THIS YEAR ALONE. COUNTY WIDE VOLUNTEER IMPACTS.THEY'VE BEEN IN SERVICE FOR 51 YEARS. 2026 MARKS THE 51ST ANNIVERSARY OF THE HOME DELIVERY MEAL PROGRAM, WHICH BEGAN IN 1975. AND JUST FOR SOME RELATIVE NUMBERS, IN 1985, APPROXIMATELY 38,000 MEALS WERE DELIVERED TO HOMEBOUND RESIDENTS DURING JULY 2025 TO JULY 2026. THE COUNTY DELIVERED 97,398 MEALS THROUGHOUT SOMERSET COUNTY FOOD SERVICE.
THE HOME DELIVERED MEAL PROGRAMS PROVIDE MORE THAN NUTRITION.
IT ALSO IS. IT ALLOWS A WELLNESS CHECK FOR HOMEBOUND COMMUNITY, OR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO COME OUT AND ACCESS THE CONNECTION TO OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY. SO THIS ULTIMATELY HELPS PEOPLE WHO EITHER CAN COME IN PERSON TO OUR SENIOR WELLNESS CENTER, OR IF THEY NEED THE ASSISTANCE, WE'RE ABLE TO BRING THOSE SERVICES TO THEM.
THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. LET'S SEE. THERE WE GO.
NICE TO SEE OUR DIVISION HEADS FROM PUBLIC WORKS HERE TONIGHT.
THAT MUST MEAN VINNY'S ON VACATION OR OUT TONIGHT OR SOMETHING.
BUT ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU GUYS HERE. AND LADIES HERE SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.
THANK YOU. I ALSO ATTENDED A SENIOR CENTER VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION AWARDS EVENT.
I WAS AT WARRENBROOK UP IN WARREN TOWNSHIP, RIGHT ON THE BORDER OF GREEN BROOK, MY HOMETOWN.
AND I GOT TO TELL YOU, IT GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS EVERY TIME I GO THERE.
IT'S JUST SUCH A FEEL GOOD PLACE. PEOPLE ARE HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME, AND THEY SO APPRECIATE THE COMMUNITY AND CAMARADERIE, THE NUTRITION AND ALL THE FACTS THAT COMMISSIONER SOOY WAS JUST MENTIONING.
IT ALL COMES TO LIGHT AND YOU'RE THERE AND JUST TALK WITH PEOPLE.
WE'RE JUST SO INDEBTED TO THEM BECAUSE THEY MAKE SO MANY PEOPLE FEEL SO GOOD.
BUT I BELIEVE THAT THEY'RE PROBABLY JUST GETTING AS MUCH FEEL GOOD AS THE PEOPLE THEY'RE HELPING.
IT WAS REALLY SPECIAL. JUST AS A NOTE, NEXT WEEK I'LL BE ATTENDING THE TAX ASSESSORS CONFERENCE.
I FEEL IT'S GOOD TO KEEP THAT SKILL SET UP FOR THIS BOARD'S PURPOSES.
SO I'LL BE DOWN THERE GETTING SOME CONTINUING ED CREDITS.
AND I'M ACTUALLY ON A PANEL THIS TIME TOO, SO THAT SHOULD BE INTERESTING WITH OUR DIRECTOR OF THE TAX BOARD, CHARLES EADER. AND LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE DO I'VE GOT.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, JUST A HAPPY LABOR DAY TO ALL OF OUR STAFF HERE AT SOMERSET COUNTY THAT MAKE IT SUCH A GREAT PLACE TO BE SPECIAL RECOGNITION TO OUR UNION LABORERS FOR ALL THEY DO TO KEEP EMPLOYERS HONEST IN OUR COUNTRY AND TO KEEP US ALL WITH GOOD, SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS. SO THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR LABORERS, UNIONIZED OR NON-UNIONIZED, ESPECIALLY OUR SOMERSET COUNTY TEAM. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

RESOLUTION 26-1665. IS AMENDING R26-012, WHICH IS OUR INITIAL RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE 2026 BANK DEPOSITORIES FOR SOMERSET COUNTY TO ADD MAGYAR BANK.
26. OH I DIDN'T SEE YOU, JAMES. YEAH, I WAS HIDING GOOD EVENING. BEFORE I READ THIS, COLEEN HAD, SINCE SHE'S NOT HERE TONIGHT, HAD.
ASKED ME TO GIVE A BRIEF SUMMARY OF THIS RESOLUTION.
THIS TRANSITION IS AIMED AT ENHANCING THE WEBSITE DESIGN AGENDA, CENTER MANAGEMENT AND MOST CRITICALLY DIGITAL ACCESSIBILITY GOVERNANCE, WHICH IS RIGHT NOW WHAT WE HAVE TO REALLY WORK TOWARDS BEFORE APRIL 26TH NEXT YEAR.
KEEPING WITH THE COUNTY'S ADA WEBSITE REDESIGN OBJECTIVES AND THE FEDERAL MANDATES, CIVICPLUS STANDS OUT FOR ITS ACCESSIBILITY BY DESIGN AND INTEGRATED MONITORING CAPABILITIES, INCLUDING AUDIOEYE, WHICH IS THE AUTOMATIC OR AUTOMATION OF MAKING THINGS ACCESSIBLE.
HAVE ON THAT SCREEN, AND THEN ACQUIA WEB GOVERNANCE THAT WILL ACTUALLY GIVE US REPORTS WHICH ARE REQUIRED QUARTERLY TO PROVE THAT WE'RE REMAINING ACCESSIBLE. AND THEY HAVE THAT ALL BUILT INTO THEIR PLATFORM.
BUT OUR RECENT ATTEMPTS TO ADOPT A NEW WEBSITE TEMPLATE HAD FAILED YOU KNOW, USING OUR CURRENT VENDOR, AND IT DIDN'T EVEN MEET OUR CURRENT FUNCTIONALITY AND OUR ONGOING RELIANCE ON THIRD PARTY ACCESSIBILITY TOOLS TO KEEP OUR CURRENT WEBSITE ACCESSIBLE HAS REALLY PROMPTED US TO LOOK AT OTHER SOLUTIONS.
CIVICPLUS HAS ALREADY BEEN PROVEN ITS VALUE. IT'S CURRENTLY BEING UTILIZED BY FIVE NEW JERSEY COUNTIES, ALONG WITH OUR VERY OWN SOMERSET COUNTY PARK COMMISSION.
AGAIN, THEY'RE BUILT IN COMPLIANCE MONITORING, WEBSITE, HEALTH ALERTS, MONITOR DESIGN, AGENDA CENTER MANAGEMENT, AND ROBUST, ROBUST CONTENT MANAGEMENT MAKES THEM A STRONG MATCH FOR SOMERSET COUNTY'S COMMITMENT TO WCAG, WHICH IS THE WEB CONTENT ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES.
SUSTAINING ACCESSIBILITY GOVERNANCE AND IMPROVING BROADENING PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT.
LOOKING AHEAD TO 22, 2026 AND 2027 PROJECT PRIORITIES.
WE INTEND TO FOCUS ON WEB ACCESSIBILITY IMPLEMENT AUTOMATED ACCESSIBILITY CHECKS AND GOVERNANCE DASHBOARDS USING THE AUDIOEYE AND PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE STAFF TRAINING ON ACCESSIBILITY POLICIES AND PUBLISHING ACCESSIBILITY CONTENT, WHICH HAS BECOME AN ISSUE WHERE WE DON'T WANT OUR PROFESSIONALS IN LIKE HUMAN SERVICES TO LEARN TO BE WEB DEVELOPERS.
WE WANT THEM TO STAY WHERE THEY'RE AT, BE PROFESSIONALS, YOU KNOW, EXACTLY WHERE THEY'RE AT.
WE'LL ALSO PRIORITIZE ON MIGRATING ONLY RELEVANT CURRENT CONTENT AND EFFECTIVELY MANAGING EXPIRED MATERIALS, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE RECENTLY SAW IN AI.
AI IS NOW RETURNING OLD CONTENT TO THE PUBLIC.
[00:45:07]
SO IF IT COMES BACK AS AN ARCHIVE, WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE IT COMPLIANT. IT STAYS THERE.AGAIN, THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO US. BUT FOR 2027 WHICH IS STILL A PART OF THIS PROJECT, WE ARE LOOKING TO DEPLOY CIVICPLUS AI CHAT FEATURE, WHICH IS SOMETHING I'M EXCITED ABOUT. ALL RIGHT.
WE DON'T NEED. WE DON'T WANT IT TO ALWAYS SEARCH THE WEBSITE.
IT CAN BRING YOU AND SAY, HEY, THERE'S SOMETHING ON THIS PAGE THAT WE THINK THIS IS RELEVANT, OR WE CAN ACTUALLY SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE, WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR, BUT WE WANT SOMEBODY TO CONTACT YOU AND YOU CAN PUT YOUR INFORMATION IN THERE AND THEY'LL GIVE YOU A CALL BACK, WHICH IS MUCH BETTER THAN GIVING SOMEBODY THE WRONG ANSWER.
RIGHT. AND THAT'S WHERE I SEE WHERE A LOT OF AI SOLUTIONS FAIL.
WHEN? SO WE HAVE TO BE WEB ACCESSIBLE AFTER THAT, THEN THAT'S WHEN WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO START ADDING ON LIKE THE AI FEATURE.
SO WOULD YOU SAY THAT 2027 WILL BE OUR TRANSITION YEAR WE'LL BE ADDING DIFFERENT THINGS AS TIME GOES ON? YES. WITH AN EXPECTATION OF LIKE BY 2028, WE'RE KIND OF FULLY TURNED THE PAGE ON STUFF? YEAH. I'M GETTING A NOD FROM PIO.
ALL RIGHT. MY PROGRAMMERS AND MY PROGRAMING SUPERVISOR, GREG, HE'S BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD.
I'M TRYING TO GET THE CURRENT DATA UP TO DATE.
OKAY. AND NOW IT'S JUST A MATTER OF NOW. ONCE WE GO TO THIS PLATFORM, THEY HAVE THE FEATURES FOR THIS, THE AUTOMATED FEATURES. AND I'M DEFINITELY EXCITED TO MOVE FORWARD.
I'M EXCITED TOO. THIS IS GREAT NEWS. YES. THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE WELCOME. SO THAT BEING THAT.
