1 E-NEWSLETTER November 23, 2016 From The City of Sea Isle City, New Jersey MAYOR S MESSAGE: On November 12, I was honored to speak during a Sea Isle City Taxpayers Association s meeting, which was held inside the Sea Isle City Library. It was a very productive gathering and we discussed a number of topics, including Sea Isle s plan to address flooding, our beaches and beach regulations, bicycles, future commercial development and other important subjects. My thanks go to President Mary Tumolo and the other members of SICTA for their warm welcome on November 12. If any other local organization would like me to speak during one of their meetings, I will be happy to attend just phone my office. As a reminder, contact information for City employees and elected officials can be found on Sea Isle s municipal website, Autumn has flown by, and now our nation is about to celebrate Thanksgiving and the arrival of the holiday season. As is the case each November and December, we have many seasonal activities taking place here in Sea Isle City. One event that s near-and-dear to my heart is our annual Mayor s Holiday Toy and Food Drive, during which we collect unwrapped toys, gift cards and non-perishable food items for local families in need. If you want to make this Christmas more cheerful, you can bring a toy or food item to City Hall or one of several other drop-off locations around town. Then, in December, a small army of elves will personally deliver the gifts to designated families prior to Christmas Day. Please see the Toy and Food Drive section of this newsletter for more details. If you want to get some exercise while supporting a good cause, please join us on Friday, December 9, at 7:00 p.m. on 63 rd Street for the Cape May County Police Chiefs Association s Holiday Dash 1-Mile Walk & Run, which will benefit this year s Mayor s Holiday Toy and Food Drive. Walkers and runners can drop-off their donations of toys and food during this fun charitable event and, if you wish, you can even walk or run with your donation and hand your gift to Santa Claus as you cross the finish line. Everyone is encouraged to wear their favorite holiday attire to the Holiday Dash, and afterwards we will present a prize to the most festive participant. I hope to see you on December 9! Another event many of us look forward to each year is Sea Isle s annual Holiday Extravaganza, which takes place during Thanksgiving Weekend at Excursion Park. Hosted by the Sea Isle City Chamber of Commerce and Revitalization, the Extravaganza begins on Friday night with a parade, ice-skating, a tree lighting ceremony with Santa Claus and other entertainment. The Extravaganza continues on Saturday with more iceskating and other family fun. I hope you can spend the entire Thanksgiving Weekend in Sea Isle City and bring your family to this wonderful celebration. To add more enjoyment to this year s holiday season, we have added a special mailbox in the lobby of City Hall for Letters to Santa Claus. The mailbox is accessible 24-hours a day, and anyone is welcome to use it when sending Saint Nick their Christmas wish lists no matter what your age! Just drop your letter in the box and we will ensure that it arrives at Santa s Workshop in the North Pole. Also, please notice Sea Isle s new winter banners, which are now hanging on light posts along JFK Boulevard and Landis Avenue. The wording on the banners gives thanks to our veterans, fire fighters, ambulance corps and police officers four groups

2 we should all remember in our prayers on Thursday and throughout the entire year. And, if you re driving along Landis Avenue near 26th Street, please notice the blue line that s been painted down the center of the road in support of our local police officers and law enforcement officials across the nation. This week s Shout Out goes to Dr. Joseph Giordano, a long-time local resident and former member of the Sea Isle City Beach Patrol, who had a successful dental practice for 33 years here in Sea Isle. Dr. Giordano has been an avid swimmer his entire life, and he recently won 17 gold medals in the Martin County Florida Senior Games. Congratulations Dr. Giordano keep on swimming! Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Smile You re in Sea Isle! Mayor Leonard C. Desiderio CITY COUNCIL S MESSAGE: During the November 15 City Council meeting, Ordinance 1596 was introduced and had first reading. Ordinance 1596 was written to allow setback encroachments for architectural features commonly referred to as bump outs for new construction buildings on corner lots. This ordinance has been forwarded to the Planning Board for Master Plan Consistency review at its 12/12/2016 meeting. Council will have second reading and public hearing on December 13. Also on November 15, each resolution on the Consent Agenda was adopted, including Resolution 214, which authorizes a contract for utility reconstruction on 38 th Street (Central Avenue to Kneass Street). Resolution 218, which authorizes two co-op purchases of Rock Salt for use during the winter season. Resolution 220, which authorizes a Governmental National Cooperative Purchasing Program for the acquisition of a Natural Gas Engine Generator. Resolution 222, which authorizes the advertisement of a Request for Proposals for Professional Animal Control Services. Have a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving Weekend! Best regards from the members of City Council, Council President Bill Kehner (wkehner@seaislecitynj.us) John Divney (jdivney@seaislecitynj.us) Frank Edwardi (fedwardijr@seaislecitynj.us) Jack Gibson (jgibson@seaislecitynj.us) Mary Tighe (mtighe@seaislecitynj.us) MASTER PLAN RE-EXAMINATION UPDATE: The draft master plan re-examination is available for review on the Sea Isle City municipal website Previously, the Planning Board s goal was to adopt the re-examination at their December 12 meeting, however, based on recent progress with advancement of a fair housing plan, the recommendation of the board solicitor and the contracted planner is to wait for completion of the housing element of the master plan re-examination prior to adoption. This will allow the re-examination to be adopted one time, rather than amending it after completion of the housing element. In order not to delay other items

3 that the planning board believes are worthy of attention, at the December 12 meeting it is expected that the board will discuss planning objectives and priorities not impacted by the housing element that should be submitted for consideration by the governing body and administration. PROJECT UPDATES: Utility Reconstruction, 36 th & 37 th Streets On March 26, 2015, City Council awarded a bid to Garden State General Construction in the amount of $431, for the utility reconstruction of 36 th Street & 37 th Street (from Cini Street to Landis Avenue). As of this date, all work has been completed. Due to the inclement weather over the winter, the area did not have sufficient time to settle therefore paving waited until fall. On October 25, 2016, City Council awarded a bid to Jerry & Son Excavating of Mays Landing, New Jersey, in the amount of $270,907. On November 2, 2016, a preconstruction meeting was held. Work will begin towards the end of the month on the concrete, when all road opening permits are secured. Utility Reconstruction, various streets On October 27, 2015, City Council awarded a bid to RTW Construction, of Southampton, New Jersey, in the amount of $744,713 for utility reconstruction at the following locations: 47 th Street from Landis Avenue to Promenade substantially completed. 49 th Street from Landis Avenue to Promenade substantially completed. 65 th Street from Landis Avenue to Central Avenue work has commenced again. 65 th Street from Landis Avenue to Pleasure Avenue substantially completed. 69 th Street from Landis Avenue to Central Avenue substantially completed. 76 th Street from Landis Avenue to Pleasure Avenue substantially completed. Work to install new sanitary main, sanitary laterals, new water main and water services on 47 th, 49 th, and 65 th (from Landis to Pleasure) and 69 th Street is completed. The work continues on 65 th Street (from Landis to Central) and is currently in the dewatering process towards Landis Avenue. Sea Isle Boulevard The Cape May County Board of Chosen Freeholders, at their May 13, 2014 meeting, awarded a $12.7 million contract to South State, Inc. for the Sea Isle Boulevard Improvement project that will raise the roadway by approximately 4.5-feet and otherwise reconstruct Sea Isle Boulevard. Traffic has been diverted to the south side of the boulevard; and the contractor has placed fill on the north side of the causeway to an average height of about 6.5-feet, which is 2-feet higher than the eventual height of the completed roadway. The additional 2-feet, which will be removed prior to the next construction phase, is surcharge to compress the underlying layers of soil. The goal is to obtain as much settlement as possible prior to paving on top of the new fill. The current plan is to start paving of the north side in late fall. The entrance to the northbound parkway has been reconfigured in order to provide room for eastbound vehicles to travel around vehicles making a left turn onto the parkway entrance. Motorists are advised to be aware of the revised traffic patterns in the construction zone and the reduced speed limit.

4 On September 13, at the City Council meeting, County Engineer Dale Foster led a presentation updating council and the public about the project and upcoming schedule of activities.
