E-NEWSLETTER
From the City of Sea Isle City
February 23, 2023
| |
|
Last week, I presented City Council with our proposed 2023 Municipal Budget, which Council will introduce at their next meeting on February 28, and hopefully adopt in March after the public hearing on the budget. If you are not already aware, I am very happy to report that this year’s budget comes with a 0% tax increase as well as a 0% increase in our water-sewer bills – for the tenth year in a row.
I hope this news indicates that we understand how important it is for elected officials and city employees to exercise fiscal responsibility at all times – and that we fully realize that every dollar we spend is, indeed, the tax-payer’s money. That is how government should be run, and that is how my Administration will continue to operate into the future.

At the start of the February 14 City Council meeting, Mayor Desiderio presented Sea Isle’s proposed 2023 Municipal Budget to Council – and, during his annual State of the City speech, he delivered the good news that there will be a 0% tax increase in 2023 and a 0% increase in this year’s water-sewer bills.
Also on February 14, City Council introduced Ordinance 1692, which was written to increase the fees for the Division of Recreation’s Summer Youth Basketball League. Ordinance 1692 will have second reading (and possible adoption) during the March 14 Council meeting.
