MAYOR'S MESSAGE

This is turning out to be one of the best holiday seasons in recent memory here in Sea Isle City, because the generosity and goodwill I have witnessed in recent weeks has been truly heartwarming.

One example of that “holiday goodness” took place on December 1 at the Sea Isle City Women’s Civic Club’s annual Holiday Luncheon, during which the group’s members presented checks totaling $8000 to four local charities, using money they raised throughout the past year.

CITY COUNCIL'S MESSAGE

During the December 12 City Council meeting, Resolution 1709 was Introduced with First Reading. This ordinance was written to adjust the existing fees for Seasonal and Short-Term Parking Permits ($450 for Seasonal and $80 for Short Term). Ordinance 1709 will also allow Seasonal Parking Permits to be transferred from one vehicle to another, and it will limit the sale of Seasonal Parking Permits to three (3) per person.

Ordinance 1709 will have Second Reading and Public Hearing (and possible adoption) during the January 9 City Council meeting.
