From Mayor Leonard Desiderio...
I would like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s Community Day activities on May 7. Even though it was a rather stormy day, many people placed bids during the Municipal Bicycle Auction and attended our gathering inside the Community Lodge, where City officials and representatives from local civic organizations answered questions and distributed literature and giveaways.

From The Members of City Council...
During the May 7 City Council meeting, which took place during “Community Day” in Sea Isle City, Council introduced Ordinance 1682, which was written to amend the setback requirements for swimming pools, thus reducing the current setback from 5-feet to 3-feet for in-ground swimming pools but leaving the existing setback of 5-feet in place for above-ground pools. Ordnance 1682 will have second reading and possible adoption on June 14.
