I hope you were able to be in Sea Isle City during our annual “Community Day” celebration on May 4, because it truly was a momentous day for our town. In addition to the usual Community Day activities that took place – including the bicycle auction, shredding event, meet-and-greet session, town-wide yard sale, and awards ceremony – we also unveiled two historic plaques, officially opened Sea Isle’s new Dog Park, and broke ground for our future Community Center.

Due to a very light agenda, City Council’s May 4 meeting was rather brief. During that meeting, however, each of the resolutions on the Consent Agenda was approved, including…
- Resolution 077, which approved the city’s most recent vouchers (the process used to purchase goods and services).
- Resolution 078, which recognized May as Mental Health Awareness Month and May 13-19 as Mental Health Awareness Week.
- Resolution 079, which approved Sea Isle City’s Governing Body’s Certification of the Annual Audit.
