From Mayor Leonard Desiderio...
The weather is changing and there are signs of spring all around us here in Sea Isle City. It seems that everywhere you turn, folks are shedding their heavy coats, daffodils are in bloom, migratory birds are returning to our island, and people are beginning to open their windows to enjoy the warmer temperatures and fresh salt air. Also, many of our local shops have been open since Presidents Weekend, and there are plenty of dining options to choose from when you’re in search of a hearty meal. Say what you like about the summertime, but the springtime can be just as enjoyable and definitely worth experiencing here at the Jersey Shore.

From The Members of City Council...
During the March 22 City Council meeting, three ordinances were adopted (following second reading and public hearing)…
- Ordinance 1677, which sets forth procedures for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations, as mandated by state statute.
- Ordinance 1678, which was written to regulate stacked parking and the use of mechanical parking lifts in all zoning districts.
- Ordinance 1679, which is a routine ordinance written in conjunction with our Municipal Budget as a mechanism to allow the city to roll over unused “CAP” money for potential use in future years.
