CITY COUNCIL MESSAGE

March 6, 2025

During the February 25 City Council meeting, Ordinance 1723 was adopted following its Second Reading and Public Hearing. Ordinance 1723 (which Mayor Desiderio outlined in detail during the February 25 meeting) is a Bond Ordinance that appropriates $9,555,000 for a variety of capital improvements, including the acquisition of equipment and vehicles, city-wide road reconstruction and other infrastructure upgrades, and various improvements to city buildings and facilities. The items listed in this annual bond ordinance were previously approved in the city’s 2025 Capital Plan.

Each of the resolutions on the February 25 Consent Agenda was approved, including…

  • Resolution 036, which certified Sea Isle City’s compliance with the United States Equal Opportunity Employment Commission’s “Enforcement Guidance on the Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” which is required prior to a municipality submitting its approved budget to the State Division of Local Government Services. 
  • Resolution 037, which authorized a Cooperative Contract in the amount of $554,249 with Northeast Electrical, of Williamstown, NJ, for the purchase of Audio/Visual and Lighting Systems for the future Community Center.
  • Resolution 038, which Authorized a Change Order in the amount of $44,902 to South State, Inc., of Bridgeton, NJ, for the resurfacing project along Cini Avenue (JFK Boulevard to 36th Street), based on issues discovered during the project’s excavation process.  
  • Resolution 039, which Authorized the Approval of a Raffle Application for the Sea Isle City Women’s Civic Club (a long-standing organization that raises funds for charity each year).

 During our next City Council Meeting, which will be held at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, March 11, Mayor Desiderio will deliver his annual State of the City Address, at which time he will also present City Council with Sea Isle City’s proposed 2025 Municipal Budget. Subsequently, City Council will host a Budget Workshop at 9:00 AM on Thursday, March 13.
