At the start of the January 10 City Council meeting, Mayor Desiderio reminded Council and the public that City Hall will be open on occasional Saturday mornings throughout the year, including January 28. The Mayor also stated that the City’s Administration is fine-tuning the 2023 municipal budget, and that he will present the completed budget to City Council on February 14, at which time he will also deliver his annual State of the City Address. Furthermore, the Mayor said that he is looking forward to his second meeting with Sea Isle City’s recently-formed Youth Recreation Committee later this month, and that working with our younger residents not only gives the City additional input regarding recreation programs and the use of Sea Isle’s future Community Center, it also serves as a tool to gather feedback that will help the City address other issues, such as the challenges related to young people gathering in large crowds during the summer season.
