MAYOR'S MESSAGE

Despite some rain and a brief weather delay, our New Year’s Eve fireworks show entertained many people on December 31 – and I am still hearing how folks were very happy to ring-in the New Year in Sea Isle City! If you were able to celebrate 2025’s arrival here in your favorite seaside community, I hope it was a night to remember! If you were not able to be with us that evening, make sure to be here as 2026 rolls around – and, while you’re at it, why not make a New Year’s resolution to “Spend More Time in Sea Isle City” in 2025 (which is the marketing slogan that currently can be seen on our billboard advertisements in Philadelphia).

CITY COUNCIL'S MESSAGE

The main purpose of the January 2 City Council meeting was to adopt Sea Isle City’s 2025 “Temporary Budget” – hence that meeting was scheduled on the first business day of the year at 9:00 AM, at which time the 2025 Temporary Budget of $6,168,741.47 was approved through Resolution 001, which was the first resolution of 2025.  


Municipalities in New Jersey are mandated by the State to create a Temporary Budget, which allows towns to pay their bills and operate normally until their annual Municipal Budgets are passed later in the year. Temporary Budgets can consist of up to 26.25% of the funds listed in the previous year’s annual budget (excluding any debt services or capital improvement funds).

CITIZEN CALL-CHECK PROGRAM


Residents Can Register For Daily "Check-In" Program To Ensure Their Safety


Sea Isle City residents can easily sign-up for a wonderful free service called the “Citizen Call-Check” Program (also known as “CCC”), which helps ensure that seniors, the physically disabled and those who live alone are safe in their homes each day of the year. Once registered, residents simply phone the Sea Isle City Police Department each morning to say: “I am OK.” If the Police don’t hear from you by 11:00 AM each day, they will phone you. And, if you don’t answer your phone when they call, they will send an officer to knock on your door – just to make sure you’re doing well. To register, please phone the SICPD Records Department Monday thru Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at (609) 263-4311 ext. 2223 or ext. 2246.
