Mendham Township: Spring Brush Collection, Monday, April 12

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

SPRING BRUSH PICK UP WILL BE ON MONDAY APRIL 12, 2021 The Township Public Works Department conducts a semi-annual brush collection program to help residents remove from their property the sticks, branches and brush that nature has caused to fall during the year. The program is designed primarily for homeowners who have little to no acreage on which to discard the materials, but is open to all Township residents. The Public Works crews will not collect excessive loads cleared from the property by private contractors. If you have brush to be collected by the public works department please follow these simple guidelines: 1. Place material at the side of the road by 7:00 a.m. (during the spring or fall collection period), with ends facing the roadway. 2. Do not tie bundles with wire! Use string only. 3. Do not put steel rods or any metal objects in with the wood. 4. All material must fit through the chipper. That means bundles must be less than twelve inches in diameter and six feet in length. 5. Please no tree stumps, and no logs over six feet long - they will not be collected It is crucial that the above guidelines be followed. In the past, our men have been caught off guard when chipping bundles that contained wire and even metal rods, hidden inside the brush. This will damage the chipper or worse, cause serious injury to our workers.

New Jersey Springs Forward

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

Today marks one year since we declared a Local State of Emergency in Mendham Township. It has been a long year, plagued with much loss, grief, and uncertainty. As we prepare to spring our clocks forward tomorrow (Sunday) and New Jersey reports almost 3,000,000 vaccination doses administered across our state, we are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. This past Wednesday, Governor Murphy announced that on Friday, March 19th, restaurants, indoor amusement and recreation venues, and personal care businesses can increase capacity to 50%. The state feels confident in these steps given the data that has been reported over the past several weeks - COVID-19 hospitalizations have been below 2,000 for the past 15 days. Additionally, the New Jersey Department of Health launched a vaccination scheduling support line this week to help seniors 75 or older who are having trouble scheduling vaccine appointments. Any senior, 75 or older, can call the support line at 1-856-249-7007 to reschedule appointments, register or schedule a vaccine. As we move towards spring and the state continues to administer vaccination doses and lessen restrictions, we will continue providing updates. Have a good weekend! Sarah Neibart Mayor, Mendham Township

NJ Expands Vaccine Eligibility in March

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

As we surpassed the one-year anniversary of the first documented COVID-19 positive case in New Jersey, the state added Pre-K-12 educators and childcare workers in licensed and registered settings to the list of groups eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Currently, the eligible populations in NJ include: healthcare workers, first responders, individuals 65 and older, individuals 18 - 64 with underlying health conditions, and teachers and daycare workers. This past Monday, the Governor announced that additional populations will become eligible in the coming weeks. As of March 15th, eligible populations will include public and local transportation workers, public safety workers, migrant farm workers, members of tribal communities, and individuals experiencing homelessness and those living in shelters. Beginning on March 29th, the following frontline essential workers in the following industries will become eligible: food production, agriculture, and food distribution, eldercare and support, warehousing and logistics, social services support staff, elections personnel, hospitality, medical supply chain, postal and shipping services, clergy, and the judicial system. To receive notifications regarding your eligibility to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and to find out when appointments are available, please sign-up at atlantichealth.org<https://www.atlantichealth.org/conditions-treatments/coronavirus-covid-19/c…> and the NJ Vaccine Scheduling System<https://covidvaccine.nj.gov/>. If you are eligible for the vaccine and prefer not to wait for an appointment alert, you can also make an appointment directly with a vaccination location that does not use the Vaccine Scheduling System. Click here to view these locations.<https://covid19.nj.gov/pages/covid-19-vaccine-locations-for-eligible-recipi…> On a separate but related note, the New Jersey Department of Health launched a new long-term care web page<https://www.nj.gov/health/ltc/>. The webpage features a user-friendly portal to identify the reopening status of facilities, information on current outbreaks, and frequently asked questions. As the state continues to vaccinate residents and patients in the long-term care facilities, there have been questions around residents who are homebound. If you or someone you know will need the COVID-19 administered at-home, please send their information to me directly at sneibart(a)mendhamtownship.org. We are preparing a list for the County for when the state expands the vaccination program to homebound residents. Thanks so much and have a good weekend. Sarah Neibart Mayor, Mendham Township

The COVID-19 Pandemic, One Year Later

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

Today marks one year since the first positive case of COVID-19 was reported in New Jersey. 365 days have passed, and many things are different. Technology has not only assisted in our communication with loved ones, but virtual meetings have replaced in-person embraces, celebrations, and grieving ceremonies. In public, we limit our proximity to others and wear masks. We clean our hands vigorously to such an extent that flu cases are at an all-time low and liquor companies have started producing hand-sanitizer. Many, who are lucky enough to have employment, have had to juggle the work-from-home atmosphere while perhaps also homeschooling their kids. Others have lost their jobs as a result of the economic crisis accompanying the public health one. There have been over 700,000 New Jerseyans that have tested positive for the virus, many who have dealt with complications, and unfortunately, over 21,000 New Jerseyans have died from COVID-19. There is no doubt that this year has taken a toll on all of us in some way or another. We have lived and continue to live through unprecedented times. 2020 (and probably 2021) will forever be marked by social distancing, hand sanitizer and masks… but also change, confusion, uncertainty, fear, loss, and all kinds of struggle. Despite all of the challenges that the world, our country, and community have endured, over the last year, the Mendham Township community came together like never before. We supported each other and accomplished some truly remarkable things. Over the last year, many residents offered to assist their elderly neighbors, cook meals for our first responders, organize online fundraisers, and donate personal protective equipment to our healthcare workers. These incredible acts of kindness have given us so much hope in the face of this pandemic - hope that is much needed as our families, community, and businesses are doing everything they can to survive. On March 13th, 2020, Mendham Township became one of the first towns in the state to proclaim a local State of Emergency and take immediate action to address COVID-19. Since that day, Mendham Township’s Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) has done everything in its power to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Mendham Township. While other towns were trying to figure out what to do in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, this group did everything they could to educate themselves, inform each other, ask questions, challenge the status quo, and share best practices so that Mendham Township could be in the best possible position to protect its residents, employees, and volunteers, keep our students learning, operate during the crisis, and find creative ways to bring joy to our community. Instead of saying “no” to any idea, this group consistently asked, “How can we make this happen?” In addition to operating Mendham Township’s departments and supporting our community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the LEPC brought many smiles to residents’ faces, even under the worst of circumstances and hardships - the Mother’s Day Parade, Easter Bunny Parade, July 4th Parade, Santa Parade, many birthday and teachers’ parades, the set-up and lighting of our Township’s Christmas Tree and Menorah, and the July 4th Fireworks to name a few. We are so incredibly lucky to have this group of people serving our community. They combine the best of professionalism and compassion and, over the last year, they are the glue that has kept us together. The 2020 & 2021 Mendham Township Local Emergency Planning Committee includes: Police Chief Ross Johnson, Police Lieutenant Steven Bittman, Captain of the First Aid Squad George Budd, 2020 Mendham Township Fire Department and 2020 Brookside Engine Company No. 1 Fire Chief Nicholas Witczak, 2021 Mendham Township Fire Department and Ralston Fire Company No. 1 Fire Chief Tom Montgomery, 2021 Brookside Engine Company No. 1 Fire Chief Eric Cooper, 2020 & 2021 Brookside Engine Company No. 1 Deputy Fire Chief Stephen Sauerman, Director of the Office of Emergency Management Evan Thomas (Buzzy), Superintendent of the Department of Public Works David Read Jr., Assistant Superintendent of the Department of Public Works Joe Guanill, Interim Mendham Township Administrator Bob Casey, Mendham Township Clerk Maria Coppinger, Director of Recreation David Guida, Superintendent of the Mendham Township School District Salvatore Constantino, Superintendent of the West Morris Regional School District Michael Ben-David, the Morris County Department of Health, 2020 & 2021 Mayor Sarah Neibart, and 2020 & 2021 Deputy Mayor Nick Monaghan.
