MAYOR'S MESSAGE
|
|
From Mayor Desiderio...
Several days after our last E-Newsletter was launched, the Sea Isle City Police Department hosted their annual National Night Out celebration at Excursion Park, and I am very happy to report that this year's "NNO" festivities attracted record crowds. There are many people who helped ensure that Sea Isle's National Night Out was a success, and I am grateful to them all. First, a great big "thank you" goes to the local business owners who contributed funds and food for NNO. Next, my thanks go to Police Chief Tom McQuillen and his fellow officers for organizing such a great evening - and for volunteering to be dunked in our annual Holiday Toy and Food Drive Dunk Tank. <<

Utility Improvements
Road Reconstruction
Sea Isle Boulevard
New Fishing Pier & Kayak Launch
and More...
In accordance with our typical practice, now that the summer season is here, we try to limit the amount of construction taking place on public property in order to minimize the disruption to our residents and visitors, as for many, this time of the year is precious. We also are in the process of preparing and putting into place plans for the next round of capital improvements throughout the City. As these projects move forward through the design, bidding, and construction phases, we will continue to provide you with updates on their progress.

Free Check In Service

Once registered, residents simply phone the Sea Isle City Police Department each morning to say "I am OK." If the Police don't hear from you by 11:00 a.m. each day, they will phone you. And, if you don't answer your phone when they call, they will send an officer to knock on your door - just to make sure you're doing well. To learn how to register for the SICPD's Citizen Call-Check Program, please phone the SICPD Records Department Monday thru Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at (609) 263-4311 ext. 2223 or ext. 2246.
