CITY COUNCIL'S MESSAGE

During the October 11 City Council meeting, EMS Consulting Services, of Hammonton, NJ, delivered a Power Point presentation, during which they explained their overall assessment of the services currently being offered by Sea Isle's Volunteer Ambulance Corps. That report is being reviewed by City Council and the City's Administration. City Council recognizes that our town's Ambulance Corps has been very devoted to helping the local citizenry for many years; and if the City can assist the Corps and make it stronger, Council will support those efforts.

MASTER PLAN RE-EXAM
|
The Next Planning Board
Meeting is November 14
On October 11, the Planning Board continued their Public Hearing on the Master Plan draft, which began on September 12. The focus of the October 11 hearing was citizen comments made during the September 12 meeting and also any additional comments from board members and citizens regarding any part of the current Master Plan draft. There were some changes recommended to the current draft on October 11; and within the next couple of weeks the City will update the draft on Sea Isle's municipal website. After this update is completed, we encourage all citizens to review the updated draft of the Master Plan Re-examination. If any citizen would like to make additional comments, they can do so during the Planning Board's regular meeting on Monday, November 14. The current goal is to adopt the Master Plan Re-examination on December 12, 2016, after the Planning Board hears any additional citizen comments. The Planning Board will then forward the Master Plan Re-examination to City Council for their consideration.

FIRE HYDRANT FLUSHING
|
Regular Maintenance Ensures Reliability
During 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:
