From Mayor Leonard Desiderio...
I am happy to report that last week I toured Sea Isle City’s future Fishing Pier and Kayak Launch at Dealy Field, and it is wonderful! Standing on the pier and overlooking our beautiful bay and wetlands, I could only imagine how many people will enjoy this newest recreation facility for many years to come. I envisioned countless happy memories being made as families gather there to reel-in dinner, as couples enjoy a romantic moment together at sunset, and as kayakers finally have a place that will give them convenient access to the bay. Once it is completed later this spring, the pier will complement our existing inventory of public spaces in many ways – and it will no doubt get a lot of use!

From The Members of City Council...
Due to COVID-19, the January 12 City Council meeting was held remotely; however, members of the public were able to participate in the meeting telephonically.
At the start of the January 12 meeting Mayor Desiderio reported that COVID-19 vaccinations are proceeding in Cape May County, and here in Sea Isle City our first responders have received their first dose of the vaccine. The Mayor also commented on the recent unrest in our nation and stated “It’s all about sticking together. It doesn’t mean we can’t disagree...but it does mean we stay true to our core values of respect, integrity, and tolerance.”
