Sea Isle City eNewsletter July 18th
MAYOR'S MESSAGE:
As the summer of 2011 unfolds, Sea Isle's residents and visitors are continuing to enjoying themselves all over our island, which is no surprise considering the wide variety of wonderful family events taking place here this year. Each day brings more reminders of just why people make Sea Isle City their vacation destination of choice - and their home - and the best part is that there is still plenty of fun to be had before Labor Day!
As you no doubt have heard or seen for yourself, our new Entertainment Complex at JFK and the Beach is a huge success, and six nights a week families are enjoying the free events that take place at Excursion Park's beautiful new Band Shell. Each Monday and Saturday evening, a different band performs - and we still have some big headliners coming to town this summer, including The Duprees on July 16, a Neil Diamond tribute on July 30, Beatlemania Again on August 6 and Don't Call Me Francis on August 20. Also, Sea Isle City hosts free Movies Under the Stars each Tuesday and Thursday night at the Band Shell, on Wednesday nights there's a fantastic Family Dance Party, and, of course, every Friday night is our Sea Isle City's Got Talent contest.
In addition to the many enjoyable events taking place at the Entertainment Complex, there are also many other summer activities happening all over Sea Isle City. For example, the Environmental Commission's Beachcomber Guided Tours take place twice each week, the Sea Isle Chamber of Commerce & Revitalization's Farmers Markets comes to town every Tuesday morning, Sea Isle's Annual Baby Parade is July 20 and our National Night Out celebration is August 2. These are just a few of the many attractions on our calendar of events that will help your family make the most of every moment this summer.
When you and your children want to spin on a merry-go-round or enjoy numerous other modern rides, stop by Sea Isle's Gillian's Funland Amusement Park, where the Gillian family has added new rides this year. Each week, the City of Sea Isle City sponsors Family Fun Nights at Gillian's from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., when free strolling entertainers delight people of all ages - so be sure to bring the entire family to Gillian's again and again.
Even though Sea Isle City is looking better than ever, we have additional improvements planned that will make our resort even better still! In addition to scheduled road work and other infrastructure improvements, plans are currently being made to start the next phase of our "Beach to Bay" project in the fall, which will include beautifying JFK Boulevard and the addition of a new Sea Isle City Welcome Center. So, if you like what you have seen this year, just wait until the summer of 2012!
Smile...You're in Sea Isle!
Mayor Leonard C. Desiderio
CITY COUNCIL MESSAGE:
In an effort to keep everyone aware of the critical steps involved in passing an ordinance in Sea Isle City, City Council wants everyone to know that the need for a new ordinance is determined by the administration and council members based on public input, changes in state laws and other factors. The first step is for council to introduce an ordinance during a council meeting. Ordinance introduction is also advertised with the local media as per state law, and at that time a date and time for a public hearing is scheduled. Council is always eager to hear public opinion prior to and during public hearings. The next step for a new ordinance is the public hearing, at which time after hearing public input council will adopt, vote down or amend the proposed ordinance. If adopted, the ordinance will be published, and if anyone is opposed to the ordinance, they can file a petition based on state guidelines to prevent it from being implemented.
The next City Council meeting will take place on July 19, 10:00 a.m., in council chambers. This will be a very busy meeting, due to the introduction of the several ordinances. We will have three bonding ordinances that will authorize monies for Beach Replenishment, Utility Work that will allow us to complete street paving projects, and for the General Fund with major items being phase two of Excursion Park and the addition of a Welcome Center, and Lagoon Dredging. The remaining ordinances will authorize us to distribute free Beach Tags to all active duty military personnel and their dependents. The remaining ordinance will allow the distribution and consumption of alcoholic beverages at Excursion Park for limited, specific special events only. This ordinance will also include a provision that will require review after twelve months.
On July 19 at 2:00 p.m., council will hold a workshop to review issues raised at our April workshop as it relates to our commercial zoning ordinances, namely design standards, design guidelines to be utilized by planning and zoning boards, landscaping, decorating guidelines for vacant properties, and handicapped parking as it relates to mixed use.
Free Veterans Beach Tags still available and now can be obtained at Sea Isle's Beach Tag Office during their normal hours. Proper identification (i.e. DD-214) is required.
Best Regards from the Members of City Council
PROJECT UPDATES:
Public Library @ 48th and Central - The new Cape May County Public Library is fast approaching completion. The contractor's efforts are now focused on completion of the interior of the facility, with an anticipated September opening of the Library. In addition to the County Library, the City's Historic Museum will be housed within the facility. Stay tuned for notices on the grand opening of the Library.
Marina Building - The exterior roof and wall panel construction is in progress, with completion of the building now scheduled for August. Upon completion, the building will provide for much needed facilities for marina maintenance and operations, along with storage; and will also include greatly improved public restroom facilities. (See Marina Building photo below)
As reported in the last E-Newsletter, on July 19 the City Council will be presented with several funding ordinances for introduction in order to advance several projects that are part of the city's capital plan. Following introduction of these ordinances, there will be a second reading and public hearing on the ordinances at the August 9 council meeting.
There are three separate ordinances, as follows:
1. Providing for the north end and downtown beach replenishment program, in the amount of $5,000,000. The beach replenishment program involves the placement of sand between the north end and downtown, specifically between 1st to 15th Street, and 30th to 52nd Street. The total estimated quantity of sand to be placed is 430,000 cubic yards. The project is being done in partnership with the State Department of Environmental Protection and the community of Upper Township.
2. Providing for various general improvements throughout the City, in the amount of $3,600,000. The improvements include the following:
Phase 2 of Excursion Park, Beach to Bay Corridor, which involves streetscape improvements to the public corridor along JFK Boulevard from the Promenade to Landis Avenue, and widening of the sidewalks along each side of this corridor by 3 feet.
Demolition of existing library/beach tag facility and conversion to parking lot.
Construction of Welcome Center Addition to the Community Lodge and renovations of the existing Lodge facility and site. (See rendering of new Welcome Center below)
Improvements to TI Park - The TI Park is in need of rehabilitation of the existing ramps and decks, specifically in order to make access to the pavilion compliant with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Lagoon Dredging - Authorization of this ordinance will provide the necessary funds in order to go out to bid for the project and accomplish dredging in the late fall of 2011. The lagoons to be dredged are as follows:
Rio Grande (south side of 47th Place)
Rio Delle Stelle (between 46th and 47th Place)
Rio Delle Luna (between 45th and 46th Place)
Rio Del Amore (between 44th Street and 45th Place)
Rio Delle Isole (along Venicean Road)
Rio Del Barche (between 43rd Place and 44th Street)
Rio Del Affare (between 42nd and 43rd Place)
Rio Delle Ponte (along Park Road on either side of 43rd Place)
Bulkheads - The City engineer has performed an overall assessment of bay-front and lagoon bulkheads, and the bulkheads on the south side of 46th Place (about 100 ft. west of Park Road) and on the north side of 43rd Place (also about 100 ft. west of Park Road) are in the most need of replacement.
3. Providing for improvements to the water/sewer utility, in the amount of $2,000,000. The improvements include utility replacements (water and sewer) on 48th, 50th, and 51st Streets, all from Landis to the Promenade, and 60th Street, from Landis to Central Avenue. Also included is 42nd Street, from Landis to Pleasure. In addition, utility replacement work is needed to be performed in advance of the County project to resurface Landis Avenue from 54th to 69th Street.
PLEASE NOTE:
Due to recent developments in Trenton, the mailing of Sea Isle City's tax bills (along with those of other communities across the Garden State) will be delayed. The usual grace period for third quarter tax payments will be extended accordingly. Additional information about the mailing of this year's annual tax bills will be relayed to local property owners as soon as it is available - we'll keep you posted!

July 1st-Sea Isle City E-Newsletter
FROM THE CITY OF SEA ISLE CITY
E-NEWSLETTER
MAYOR'S MESSAGE:
What a great summer we have planned here in Sea Isle City! As I mentioned earlier, the excitement is heating up at our new Entertainment Complex, and so far we have received nothing but positive feedback about the many events that have already taken place at Excursion Park's Band Shell. More than 2500 spectators were thoroughly entertained during the opening night of Sea Isle City's Got Talent on June 24, plus our weekly concerts and numerous other events have pleased thousands others so far this year as well - and it is only June 30! There are many more events still to come in the weeks ahead, so if you haven't yet had the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful new entertainment venue, check out Sea Isle's calendar of events and plan on stopping-by the Band Shell soon!
As a community, our actions are centered on respect, integrity, tolerance and a commitment to excellence. However, those values would mean nothing without a transparent government. That's why we have the most open government you'll find anywhere - and we plan to keep it that way! Through our E-Newsletters, E-Blasts, open-forum meetings, Reverse 911 calls and the many other ways we communicate information, we will continue to keep you informed of everything that's going on in our government and in our town - that's my personal promise to you!
Tomorrow, July 1, marks the start of the second full term of Sea Isle's Mayor-Council form of government (thanks to The Faulkner Act, which provides municipality's in the Garden State with governing options such as ours). At 12 noon at the Band Shell, City Council will hold their annual re-organizational meeting, at which time your recently re-elected City officials (namely Councilman Bill Kehner, Councilman Frank Edwardi and myself) will be sworn into office. All are invited to attend this event - and I hope to see you there!
Since local voters decided to change to a Mayor-Council form of government in 2007, Sea Isle City has experienced a renaissance-of-sorts, which has beautified our town, modernized our infrastructure and resulted in more events taking place here than ever before - and it is all thanks to a solid working relationship between Sea Isle's Administration, City Council, municipal employees and the many volunteers from the general public who work hard to move us ahead in one direction for the betterment of our town. As always, nothing can be accomplished without input from our residents and visitors, so I encourage everyone to take an active role in helping make Sea Isle City all it can be and more.
Sea Isle City's success story is still being written - so let's continue to make every chapter memorable and worthwhile!
Smile...You're in Sea Isle!
Mayor Leonard C. Desiderio
CITY COUNCIL MESSAGE:
Tomorrow, July 1, City Council will hold our Annual Re-Organizational Meeting, 12 noon at the new Band Shell. At that time, Sea Isle's recently re-elected officials, Mayor Desiderio and Councilmen Edwardi and Kehner, will take their oaths of office. Following the swearing-in ceremony, a regular business meeting will be conducted. All are invited to attend the inauguration and council meeting.
During the July 19 council meeting, the Administration will be bringing forward a bond ordinance totaling $8.5 Million, which will include money for Sea Isle's new welcome center, lagoon dredging, bulkhead replacements, various road reconstruction projects, the demolition of the old Library/Beach Tag Office and the construction of a parking lot on that site. More details about this bond ordinance will be provided in future communications.
As previously mentioned, City Council will hold a workshop on July 19 at 2:00 p.m. to discuss design standards and various zoning issues in our commercial districts. All are invited to attend this public meeting.
This summer, we have been blessed with beautiful weather - Mother Nature has definitely been very good to us this year. We look forward to more good weather and additional family events that will keep the summer of 2011 going strong at South Jersey's "premier destination."
Best Regards from the Members of City Council
PROJECT UPDATES:
These E-Newsletters over the past several months have chronicled the progress of many of the City's capital improvements. Now that summer 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 because we realize that this time of the year is precious.
We currently are in the process of preparing and putting into place the necessary funding for the next round of capital improvements throughout the City. As part of this process, on July 19, the City council will be asked to introduce funding ordinances for the following projects:
Beach Nourishment - Currently, the City is eligible for 75% reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to restore beaches at the north end and the center of town to the design profile established in 2009. This work will be done in partnership with the community of Upper Township and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and is anticipated to start later in the fall. There will be NO beach replenishment work this summer.
JFK Boulevard Streetscape Improvements, from Landis to the Promenade - This is part of the City's Beach to Bay Corridor project, which includes widened sidewalks, landscaping, lighting and decorative pavers. This project has been discussed over the past two years in various public meetings, and the current plans for this project will be presented at the July 19 council meeting, in order to provide for additional public comment prior to moving forward with completion of the construction documents.
Welcome Center- Addition to Community Lodge - This project was recently discussed at the June 14 City Council meeting, at which time there was agreement by the council to move forward with architectural and engineering work. The updated plans will be presented at the July 19 council meeting.
Old Library Conversion to Parking Lot - Following completion of the new Library at 48th and Central, the library facilities will be relocated from the existing facility located on the north side of JFK Boulevard (across the boulevard from the basketball courts). The existing facility is slated for demolition and conversion to a parking lot. Plans will be developed to provide for appropriate landscaping, and it is anticipated that an additional 40 parking spaces will be able to be placed on the site.
Improvements to Townsends Inlet Park - The City was awarded grant funding from the federal government for improvements to the park to provide for proper handicapped accessibility. As part of this project, the City will rehabilitate the entrance ramps to the pavilion and renovate the existing deck and surrounding facility. Plans will be developed this summer in order for the project to be constructed this coming fall and winter prior to the summer 2012 season.
Bulkhead Replacements - As part of the City's overall assessment of bay-front and lagoon bulkheads, the bulkheads on the south side of 46th Place (about 100 ft. west of Park Road); and on the north side of 43rd Place (also about 100 ft. west of Park Road) are slated for replacement.
Lagoon Dredging - The City is continuing with the required environmental and engineering work to obtain permits to perform needed dredging in several of our City lagoons. Funding will be needed to proceed with bidding for the project and performance of the actual dredging, currently anticipated to take place in the fall of 2011.
Various Road and Utility Reconstruction Projects - The project includes 48th, 50th, and 51st Streets, all from Landis to the Promenade, and 60th Street, from Landis to Central Avenue. Also, utility work will be performed in advance of the County project to resurface Landis Avenue from 54th to 69th Street.
