CITY COUNCIL MESSAGE
November 28, 2024
During the November 26 City Council meeting, Ordinance 1720 was Introduced with First Reading. This ordinance was written to allow a $1 increase in the one-way daytime fares for Sea Isle City’s Jitney Service (thus raising the daytime fare from $2 to $3; and the $4 night time fare staying the same). Jitneys have been serving our community since 2014, and this is the first that the Jitney drivers have requested an increase to their fares since they first started carrying passengers up and down Landis Avenue; therefore, City Council feels that their request for an increase is reasonable.
Ordinance 1720 will have Second Reading and Public Hearing (and possible adoption) during the December 24 City Council meeting.
Also on November 26, Ordinance 1719 was adopted, following its Second Reading and Public Hearing. This “housekeeping” ordinance was written to revise the city’s existing “Water Conservation Regulations,” and it confirms the times that residents are permitted to run their lawn and garden irrigation systems (4:00 AM to 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, May 15 to October 15).
Each of the resolutions on the November 26 Consent Agenda was approved, including…
- Resolution 181, which authorized the Issuance of a License to Conduct Amusement Games to Boardwalk Casino Entertainment LLC at 4200 Boardwalk.
- Resolution 182, which authorized the Issuance of a License to Conduct Amusement Games to Island Breeze Casino at 3700 Boardwalk.
- Resolution 185, which authorized a Grant Agreement Application in the amount of $142,371 with the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s Municipal Aid Road Program, for the reconstruction of Pleasure Avenue from 79th to 85th Street.
- Resolution 188, which ratified a Release and Settlement/Separation Agreement between the City and one of our current Dispatchers, due to the Sea Isle City Police Department moving its Emergency 9-1-1 Dispatch System to the County’s Dispatch System.
- Resolution 189, which established the 2025 Holiday Schedule for Sea Isle City’s Municipal Employees.
- Resolution 190, which established City Council’s 2025 Meeting Schedule.
- Resolution 191, which declared the acceptance of a Waiver of Encroachment for 9 – 56th Street, for landscaping of Municipal Property.
The next City Council meeting will take place at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, December 10 on the third floor of City Hall – and we hope to see you there!
We wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, and we hope you will remember to be safe while you’re having fun during the Holidays!
