CITY COUNCIL MESSAGE

October 16, 2025


Following Mayor Desiderio’s Report during the October 14 City Council Meeting, Sea Isle City Chief Financial Officer Jennifer McIver updated Council on the City’s recent “Best Practice Report,” which is part of the State of New Jersey’s Best Practice Inventory (an annual assessment for municipalities, managed by the NJ Division of Local Government Services, to evaluate fiscal and operational best practices). Because Sea Isle City did well on this year’s report, we will receive 100% of our annual State Aid Payment. 

 After Ms. McIver spoke, Ordinance 1725 was Introduced with First Reading. This ordinance was written to amend Sea Isle City’s Zoning Map, due to changes that have taken place over time, as identified by the city’s Master Plan as needing revision. Ordinance 1725 will have Second Reading and Public Hearing (and possible adoption) during the City Council meeting Wednesday, November 12. 

 Each of the resolutions on the October 14 Consent Agenda was approved, including… Resolution 174, which approved the city’s latest Vouchers (the system used to purchase goods and services).

  • Resolution 175, which approved a Raffle Application for the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City’s Sailing Foundation. 
  • Resolution 178, which authorized a Shared Services Agreement with the Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority for Solid Waste Disposal and Recycling Services, for a one-year term (January 1 through December 31, 2026).
  • Resolutions 179, 180 and 181, which Ratified Memorandums of Agreement between the city and CWA Local 1036 AFL-CIO Clerical Employees (179), CWA Local 1036 Employees of Public Works and Water-Sewer Department Blue Collar (180), and CWA Local 1036 Supervisors of Public Works (181), for the term of January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2027, subject to the presentation and adoption of a contract in conformance of same. 
  • Resolution 184, which authorized the purchase of a Garbage Truck Chassis from Gabrielli Truck Sales, of Ridgefield Park, NJ, for approximately $175,157, and a Rear Load Trash Body from H. A. DeHart & Son, of Thorofare, NJ, for approximately $168,458, both purchased through National Co-Op Contracts. 

During the “Citizen Comment” portion of the October 14 City Council meeting, a property owner spoke in support of City Council live-streaming meetings to promote transparency.
