Sea Isle City Mission and Values Statement  |  Veteran Welcome Home Ceremony Form

MAYOR'S MESSAGE TO CITY COUNCIL:  

November 12, 2024

Yesterday was Veterans Day and we had another great ceremony honoring the service of all of our military veterans.  It’s always a source of pride for me to see how our city turns out for this event; and I know I speak for us all when I say that our country’s military members and veterans are an absolute source of pride for everyone.  We truly owe so much to those who take the military oath of office.

On today’s City Council agenda is a resolution authorizing acceptance of a $5000 grant from the Sustainable Jersey program, funded by Atlantic City Electric. The funds will be used for the Townsends Inlet waterfront park restoration project. This funding will help us maintain the park’s environmental integrity.  I want to thank the members of the Sustainable Jersey Green Team as well as the Environmental Commission for securing this grant for the city.

Also on today’s agenda is a resolution authorizing the execution of a shared services agreement with Dennis Township to provide for municipal court services to their community.  Last year, at the request of Dennis Township, we submitted a proposal to provide for these services; and we recently completed negotiations with Dennis that have resulted in the shared services agreement before you today.  The agreement represents a fair deal between the two communities that will provide for the continuation of municipal court functions in Dennis at no additional cost to Sea Isle’s taxpayers.  

Also, given the direction of the state of New Jersey’s court system, it makes sense for us to be at the forefront of shared services.  We’ve proven over many years that working cooperatively with our neighboring communities results in the delivery of outstanding services at the best cost to our citizens.

As always, please remember - we are one Sea Isle City, and together we’ll be stronger than ever.

Smile…You’re in Sea Isle, 

Mayor Leonard C. Desiderio
