From Mayor Leonard Desiderio...
For many people, just hearing the words “Sea Isle City” brings to mind a variety of images, such as sunbathing on the beach, fishing on the bay, and walking along the Promenade on sunny July mornings. It’s not unusual that many of us associate Sea Isle City with summer activities…after all, that is when we see the most people in town. However, the so-called “off season” is also a very busy time, because that’s when we perform the majority of work on our infrastructure and public facilities – and this year is no exception.

From The Members of City Council...
Many elected bodies hold their annual reorganization meetings in January, during which they appoint new leadership, swear in new members, and perform other “housekeeping” tasks. Because Sea Isle’s local City Council holds its yearly reorganization meeting in July, January can seem to be a quiet month in comparison. Case in point, the January 11 City Council meeting was rather brief, with only a few items on the meeting’s agenda.
