The regular scheduled Board of Health meeting of the Mayor and Committee of the Township of Oxford was held on January 15, 2008 in the Township Municipal Building, 11 Green Street, Oxford, New Jersey.

Mrs. Riley who announced that the meeting had been properly advertised in compliance with the OPMA of 1975, called the meeting to order at 9:35 PM.

In attendance were Bonnie Riley, Angelo Accetturo, William Bray and Sheila L. Oberly. 

The minutes of December 11, 2007 meeting was approved as submitted on motion by Mr. Accetturo and seconded by Mrs. Riley.

Mr. Accetturo read the monthly Warren County Board of Health Reports of December 14, 2007 and January 11 2008.

Mr. Accetturo opened the meeting to the public.  There being no public comments, the public comment period was closed.

Mr. Bray asked what could be done in regard to the screwdriver factory (Oxtech) in terms with the health department compelling the clean up since it is obvious Mr. Kellner is not working with the Township. Mr. Bray stated that even though there is a fence around it, it is still considered a health hazardous. Mr. Bray said that the best thing the Township should do now is to keep pressure on Mr. Kellner to get the site cleaned up and then get a conscientious of the public of a specially plan for the site.  He said he talked to Mr. Kellner and he told him cleanup would be starting within the next two to three weeks. Mr. Bray said he wants to see that site cleaned up immediately.

Mr. Accetturo said he hopes that Mr. Kellner will clean this up but the Township has not had any help from the state, Board of Health, or DEP and has exhausted all the avenues to get this cleanup done.

On motion by Mr. Accetturo and seconded by Mrs. Riley, the Board of Health meeting was adjourned at 10:00 PM.
