prior to the February meeting to provide an update and ask for guidance. Mr. Van Hise will contact
the Township Administrator to arrange a meeting. It was recommended that Dr. Young be invited to
the meeting. Mr. Jackson will contact Dr. Young.

The Secretary will send the information on cat licensing that is to be published in the
Township Newsletter to Mayor Stave.

Ms. Gerberich advised that she spoke with Laura Zurfluh, a local veterinarian, who will prepare a letter in support of cat licensing.

Ms. Coyle advised that a letter dated December 16, 2008, was received from David Papi,
Director of the Middlesex County Health Department, in support of cat licensing, which also
addressed the Board’s letter dated November 3, 2008, regarding the Informational Guide
Concerning Rabies. Mr. Van Hise will review Mr. Papi’s letter and advise the Board if and how to
respond.

Dr. Notterman reiterated that Mr. Papenberg’s presentation before the Board at its
December meeting was “excellent”.

AED Equipment in Public Places/AED Training – The Secretary spoke to Charlie Smith of the
