CITY COUNCIL MESSAGE

November 13, 2025


Three ordinances were listed on City Council’s November 12 agenda, including…

  • Ordinance 1726, which was Introduced with First Reading. This ordinance was written to establish fixed wages and salaries based upon the labor contracts that have been approved by City Council and signed by the city’s administration and representatives from the CWA. Ordinance 1726 will have Second Reading and Public Hearing (and possible adoption) on December 9.
  • Ordinance 1727, which was Introduced with First Reading. This ordinance (which is considered a “housekeeping” ordinance) was written to establish the public bus stop on JFK Boulevard (near Cini Street) as the only bus stop in town, and eliminating two older bus stops that are no longer in use due to changes in New Jersey Transit’s bus route. Ordinance 1727 will have Second Reading and Public Hearing (and possible adoption) on December 9.
  • Ordinance 1725, which was adopted following Second Reading and Public Hearing. Ordinance 1725 was written to amend Sea Isle City’s Zoning Map, due to changes that have taken place over time with Sea Isle City’s zoning, particularly relating to affordable housing. 

Each of the resolutions on the November 12 Consent Agenda was approved, including…

Resolution 200, which approved the city’s latest vouchers. Vouchers are a mechanism of the Purchase Order System that the city utilizes for the acquisition of goods and services.
  • Resolution 201, which authorized Transfers of Appropriations. This routine resolution authorized the transfer of funds within the city’s municipal operation budget from one line-item to another. 
  • Resolution 203, which opposed the inclusion of new Offshore Oil and Gas Leasing along the coast of New Jersey.  This resolution is in response to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management developing the 11th National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program.  

During the “Pending Business” portion of the November 12 meeting, the discussion regarding adding Live Streaming to City Council meetings continued. City Council anticipates this concept (in addition to addressing audio issues in Council Chambers) will be instituted in 2026.

During the “Citizen Comment” portion of the November 12 meeting, several Sea Isle City residents and residents of neighboring communities stepped to the microphone to comment on numerous topics, including…

  • Gratitude that the city added additional “snowflake” decorations in town this year.
  • Gratitude that the city is adding several pieces of exercise equipment to the future Community Center.
  • Concerns about parking due to ongoing residential development.
  • Comments about zoning.
  • Concerns about litter blowing from construction dumpsters. 
  • Gratitude that the city will host a Holiday Procession on Black Friday.  

City Council reminds everyone that there are numerous events taking place between now and the end of 2025 that will provide entertainment and enjoyment for every member of the family – so please review Sea Isle City’s Calendar of Events at www.VisitSICNJ.com. 

Also, even though our streets are less busy during the off-season, please be on the lookout for bicyclists and pedestrians – and always obey our speed limits. 

The next regular City Council meeting will take place on Tuesday, November 25, at 10:00 AM on the third floor of City Hall – and we hope to see you there!
