CITY COUNCIL MESSAGE

May 2, 2024


At the start of the April 23 City Council meeting, Mayor Desiderio announced that there will be a groundbreaking ceremony for Sea Isle City’s future Community Center on Saturday, May 4, at 1:30 PM (following the “Community Day” events and activities that are planned that day). The mayor also mentioned that he hopes to see many residents and property owners attending the groundbreaking ceremony – as do the members of City Council.

 Following the Mayor’s Report, Ordinance 1715 was Introduced with First Reading. This ordinance was written to update the existing ordinance and allow the Recreation Office to expand the programs they offer. Ordinance 1715 will have Second Reading and Public Hearing during the May 21 City Council meeting.

 Also on April 24, Ordinance 1713 was adopted, following its Second Reading and Public Hearing. Ordinance 1713 is a routine annual ordinance that is written in conjunction with Sea Isle City’s Municipal Budget to allow the city to "bank" (or preserve) for future years any appropriation limits not utilized. This allows the city to more effectively manage our budgets over several years.

 Sea Isle City’s 2024 Local Municipal Budget was also adopted on April 24 (via Resolution 052A). The amount of this year’s Municipal Budget is $21,258,277.55.

 Each of the resolutions on the April 23 Consent Agenda was approved, including…

 Resolution 071, which authorized the self-examination and certification of the 2024 Budget.

  • Resolution 072, which authorized contracts with private vendors for various recreation programs, including Sea Isle’s 2024 summer camps and sports clinics. 
  • Resolution 073, which authorized the approval of a Raffle Application for the Sea Isle City Women’s Civic Club.
  • Resolution 076, which designated Abandoned Bicycles as Surplus Property and authorized their sale through a Live Auction, which will take place on Community Day, May 4.

 The next City Council meeting will take place on Saturday, May 4, at 9:00 AM on the third floor of City Hall – and we hope to see you there!

Best regards from the members of City Council,
