MAYOR'S MESSAGE
 
Even though we have had more than our share of rainy days this year, the summer season is off to a great start here in Sea Isle City. As the busy Memorial Day Weekend drew to a close, it was wonderful to see hundreds of people gathered at Veterans Park for our annual Memorial Day Ceremony - during which, I am happy to say, Mother Nature kindly granted us cloudy (not rainy) skies. I am grateful to everyone who took the time to honor our nation's fallen warriors on Memorial Day, including the event's participants: U.S. Senatorial Candidate Bob Hugin, Ambassador Theresa Tull, Commander Charles Haines and the Color Guard from VFW Post 1963, Cape May County Clerk Rita Marie Fulginiti <<READ MORE>>

Shortly after the Mayor's announcement, Ordinance 1622 was introduced and approved on First Reading, effectively increasing the number of Seasonal Parking Passes from three hundred (300) to four hundred (400).
