MAYOR'S MESSAGE
|
|
Here we are, on the verge of the 2017 Holiday Season! It seems difficult to believe that tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day and that autumn is rapidly coming to a close. Nonetheless, I always look forward to this time of year because the holidays tend to bring out the best in us all.
Here in Sea Isle City, you don't have to look very far to find kindness and selflessness on display - especially at Christmastime. As is the case in many communities, we are blessed with a variety of local civic organizations that regularly host events and fund raisers in support of good causes - and during this time of year, those organizations really shine!

CITY COUNCIL'S MESSAGE
|
Prior to our regular meeting on November 14, City Council held a closed session meeting for the purpose of discussing pending litigation regarding the application of the City of Sea Isle City to petition immunity from Mount Laurel Lawsuits
, relative to affordable housing. Afterwards, Council began its regular meeting at 10:00 a.m. on November 14, during which there were no reports from the Mayor, the Administrator or Council members.
Ordinance 1614 was introduced during November 14's regular meeting. This ordinance was written to revise the City's general ordinance entitled "Traffic" to reflect necessary changes and to allow for consistency and traffic flow. Ordinance 1614 is a "housekeeping" ordinance that clarified where the City's current handicapped and 15-minute parking spaces are located throughout town. It also changed several of our streets to a "one-way" traffic pattern, including 40th Street (Central to Cini, Westbound), 51st Street (Central to Landis, Eastbound), and 52nd Street (Landis to Central, Westbound). <<READ MORE>>

CITIZEN CALL CHECK PROGRAM
|
Checking In For Safety
Sea Isle City residents can easily sign-up for a wonderful free service called the "Citizen Call Check" Program (also known as "CCC"), which helps ensure that seniors, the physically disabled and those who live alone are safe in their homes each day of the year. Once registered, residents simply phone the Sea Isle City Police Department each morning to say "I am OK." If the Police don't hear from you by 11:00 a.m. each day, they will phone you. And, if you don't answer your phone when they call, they will send an officer to knock on your door - just to make sure you're doing well. To learn how to register for the SICPD's Citizen Call Check Program, please phone the SICPD
Records Department Monday thru Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at (609)263-4311 ext. 2223 or ext. 2246

FLOOD MITIGATION PLAN
|
Present and Future Projects
Being Addressed
A major priority of the Sea Isle City government is addressing the flooding which impacts our City and is most prevalent in low lying areas. Over the past several years, the City has implemented several drainage improvement projects to replace deteriorated storm drainage systems and tidal check valves; and we're coordinating with the county engineer's office on several projects, as much of our drainage system falls under county jurisdiction.
