Near the end of the June 24 meeting, Council members Kehner, Tighe and Edwardi each praised and thanked Councilmen Gibson and Feeley for their service, and they presented each with a framed copy of their resolutions (125 and 126). Additionally, several members of the audience stepped to the microphone during the “Citizen Comment” portion of the meeting to express their gratitude for Councilman Gibson’s and Councilman Feeley’s many years of service to Sea Isle City. 

The next City Council meeting will be a “reorganization” meeting at 12 noon on Tuesday, July 1, on the third floor of City Hall, where Councilman-elect Mike Jargowsky and Councilman-elect Ian Ciseck will take their oaths of office, and Councilwoman Mary Tighe will once again take her oath of office and continue her service as a member of City Council. 

In closing, City Council reminds local business owners that the city requires mercantile licenses for brick-and-mortar businesses that operate in town.  Additionally, property owners who rent out their commercial or residential property for any length of time are required to obtain rental licenses from the city.
