Department: Department of Health Respondent: John Ditinyak, Director of Finance Responsible Employee(s): John Ditinyak, Director of Finance; Michael Fonzino, Director of Health Finding Number: 2023-12 (Page 162) 1. Condition: Several monthly Dog License Reports were not filed with the State of New Jersey in a timely manner. For the months of January, February, and March (CY 2023), the reports were filed on May 5, 2023. 2. Auditor’s Recommendation: That all monthly Dog License Reports be filed with the State of New Jersey on a monthly basis. 3. Township Response and Corrective Action: The Township disagrees with this recommendation in that the guidance from the State of New Jersey Department of Health Communicable Disease Service Infectious and Zoonotic Diseases Program on form VPH-10, the monthly dog license report referenced, allows for one license report to cover two or more months. Despite this, the West Orange Board of Health always makes the effort to file the dog license reports on a monthly basis. 4. Implementation Date: Completed
