MAYOR'S MESSAGE TO CITY COUNCIL, APRIL 8,2025:
On today’s City Council agenda are a few items that bear mentioning...
Resolution 067 opposes Atlantic City Electric’s recent rate increases and asks for the withdrawal of their additional request for a rate increase. The electric company’s rates have been the subject of much scrutiny by local, state, and federal lawmakers, and Council has recognized the burden these higher rates place on our property owners.
Resolution 070 authorizes various contracts for a multitude of Community Services Department programs. City staff have been preparing for the upcoming summer season, and this is just one part of putting our planning efforts into action.
Resolution 072 approves several individuals who’ve accomplished the required training as new members of our volunteer fire department.
Resolution 073 authorizes the award of the contract to sell ice cream and bottled water on Sea Isle’s beaches. This contract not only provides for the ability of the successful vendor to serve the tens of thousands of visitors to our beaches throughout the summer, but also provides a significant revenue for our budget, as Sea Isle will receive $425,000 in 2025 and the same amount in 2026 for this beach concession.
In regard to public projects going on around town, over the next couple weeks the county will be restoring roads disturbed by construction of drainage projects they’ve been working on this past winter at 32nd and 55th Streets.
We’ve substantially completed paving at 38th, 58th, 59th and Sounds Avenue behind Dealy Field, and we’ll be working on Cini Avenue from JFK to 36th Street to reconstruct and re-pave that road prior to the summer season.
On the beaches, Public Works crews are preparing beach accesses and placing dune fencing. Our beaches fared well over the winter, and with 45-days to go until Memorial Day weekend, we’ll be ready to welcome all of our visitors.
As always, please remember, we are one Sea Isle City, and together we’ll be stronger than ever.
Smile…You’re in Sea Isle!
