Hello fellow Bradley Beach Residents-
I want to remind you that our National Night Out is Tuesday, August 2nd from 6 pm until 8 pm. I am hoping we have a similar turnout to last year. Sergeant Josephine Celauro is leading the effort for Chief Guida and his team.
National Night out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness: generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs; strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships.
Bradley Beach celebrates National Night Out with a variety of events and activities which include food, drinks, games, contests and tables of information. National Night Out has proven to be an effective inexpensive and enjoyable program to promote neighborhood spirit and police community
partnerships in our fight for a safer nation- PLEASE JOIN, donate, and participate!!!
Tuesday, August 2nd we are planning the first of a recurring event- “Connect and Quench” with the Mayor. An opportunity for conversation with me- soft drinks served- Riley Park- 12:30-
1:30!
We just closed out the LaReine Avenue Church survey on July 31. We had 935 responses! Results will be out shortly.
I am happy to report that we passed a budget (3-2) on July 12 th . We can now get on with Borough business!! Your tax bills should arrive shortly. Thanks for your patience.
The weather has been almost “over-cooperating” to-date. At the end of July, things are going very well. We continue to run closely to last year’s revenue, and we are hopeful this trend will
continue. The Fourth of July weekend proved a great success!!
R E C Y C L I N G- We have decided to maintain weekly recycling pick-ups for the foreseeable future. Although the program has yielded good results, a few areas were problematic
(apartments, 6-family dwellings, some senior citizens). The other data supported staying at a 2-week interval; but the aforementioned challenges moved us to a weekly schedule.
Thanks to those who adapted and supported us; and hopefully those who needed some help will see the relief!
On Friday and Saturday July 23 and 24, our annual Shakespeare festival was held. We had a few “curve balls” to deal with. Julia Rand- Chair of the Arts Council, was under the weather; but led
from afar. Speaking of the weather- 95+ on the Promenade made it necessary to shift to the Firehouse. Jackie Schneider worked diligently with the 5 players- who were outstanding.
The technical folks- Dan, Nate, and Rudy did a great job as well.
See you around town!
Mayor Larry Fox
