Public Safety director: county to enter shared-service agreement with Northern Regional Medical Examiner after August 1 retirement
Summary
Director Dennis Burke said the county will enter a shared-services agreement with the New Jersey Northern Regional Medical Examiner's Office to provide forensic pathology services after the county's medical examiner retires effective Aug. 1; pending board adoption, services would begin Aug. 1 and Union County will be one of five counties served.
Public Safety Director Dennis Burke told commissioners that, following the retirement of the county's current medical examiner effective August 1, the county negotiated a shared-services agreement with the New Jersey Northern Regional Medical Examiner's Office to provide all forensic pathology services for Union County. Pending board adoption, the agreement would begin August 1 and make Union County one of five counties (with Passaic, Hudson, Essex and Somerset) served by the regional office.
Burke described the action as a response to the impending retirement and the result of an extensive search for solutions; no final contract text was read into the open record during the agenda-setting session, and the board will consider the resolution during the regular meeting.
