MAYOR'S MESSAGE
|
I hope you were able to be in town on September 22, when the 2016 New Jersey Run For The Fallen passed through Sea Isle City. On that day, a team of active duty military members ran through our town during their annual trek from Cape May to the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Monmouth County. The 190+ mile run is held each year in honor of every service member from the Garden State who has made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation's freedom - and it's truly an amazing sight to behold. Along the way, the runners stopped every mile at "Hero Markers," each of which was dedicated to an individual service member who died in battle. At most Hero Markers, family members and friends of the honored deceased were waiting to greet the runners, who paid tribute to their fallen comrades by reading a short biography and placing a small American flag at each marker - thus fulfilling the event's theme of "One Mile, One Flag, One Hero." <<READ MORE>>

MASTER PLAN RE-EXAMINATION
|
Master Plan Public Hearing Continues October 11
The Planning Board held a Master Plan Re-Examination Public Hearing on September 12 in City Hall. That meeting, which was attended by approximately 100 audience members, lasted nearly 2.5 hours. During the meeting, Maser Consulting gave a Power Point Presentation. The focus of that presentation was the 42 recommendations the Planning Board has made as a result of the re-examination process. Maser also explained why cities create Master Plans, the process used during Sea Isle's current Master Plan Re-Examination, and the areas of concentration within the current Re-Examination.
There was considerable citizen feedback during the September 12 meeting, so it was decided the public hearing would be continued to the next Planning Board meeting on Tuesday, October 11, at 7:00 p.m. in City Hall. At that time, the Planning Board will focus on the citizen feedback that was collected during the September 12 meeting. The public is encouraged to attend the Planning Board's Public Hearing on October 11.
As a reminder, a draft of the Master Plan Re-Examination is available for public viewing on the home page of the City's website.

FIRE HYDRANT FLUSHING
|
Hydrant Flushing
is Underway
During the months of October and November, Sea Isle City's Water Department will flush-out fire hydrants throughout town. Annual hydrant flushing is required by State law and ensures that hydrants and the water distribution systems are functioning properly to provide the proper drinking water quality (thus providing adequate water flow when needed). Residents can expect very little disruption in their water service - if any. However, low water pressure and possible water discoloration may occur. In the event of discoloration, simply allow water to run from the tap for a short while until clear. For additional info, phone 609-263-6000 (ext. 11) or email:
