E-NEWSLETTER
From the City of Sea Isle City
September 20, 2012
MAYOR’S MESSAGE:
We recently announced that Sea Isle City's property owners will be receiving discounts on FEMA flood insurance, which is great news for our town! We will keep you posted as new details emerge regarding this program. Meanwhile, if you want to learn more about the FEMA discounts, read the National Flood Insurance Program's manual by visiting http://www.nfipiservice.com/pdf/October%202012/oct2012_changepackage.pdf .
It's difficult to believe, but September is more than half over – wasn't it just Memorial Day a few weeks ago? I once again want to express my thanks to all of our City employees who made the summer of 2012 safe and memorable. Not only are we proud of Sea Isle's Volunteer Fire Department, Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Police Department, Public Works Department, Beach Tag Inspectors, Tourism Officials and our Department of Recreation, we are also very proud of – and grateful for – Captain Renny Steele and the members of the Sea Isle City Beach Patrol. Captain Steele recently released the beach patrol's 2012 year-end summary, which is a strong reminder of the diligence and commitment our lifeguards continually display on the job. This summer, the SICBP gave assistance to 270 beach-goers in need of medical attention (that doesn't include the many times they handed-out band aids or offered minor first aid). Our beach patrol also responded to 82 documented cases of lost children, and they performed 21 flag rescues, which are major water rescues that require our guards to work as a team in order to save lives. Not many people know that our lifeguards also repair their own beach stands and they perform many other duties throughout the summer months, which keep the SICBP running like a Swiss watch. My thanks go to all of our beach patrol members, who I hope enjoy the off-season before they return to the sand next spring.
As I have said before, “Even though the summer is over, Sea Isle City never closes!” This was evident last weekend during Sea Isle's Fall Family Festival, which was a huge success. In addition to the festival's large Seaside Market on the Promenade, popular Food Court and many free family activities on Saturday, free trolley tours, live music and the 9th Annual Gerard Desiderio Antique Auto Show entertained many festival-goers on Sunday. My thanks go to Diane Merson and Trish Jackson from our Tourism Department for hosting another fantastic Fall Family Festival, and I also want to thank local homeowners Mike and Diane Mullen for loaning us their Bentley, which was the lead vehicle in the festival's Antique Auto Parade.
Looking ahead, this Friday is the start of Sea Isle's 2012 Irish Weekend at the LaCosta Complex. Each year, that event's host, Jim Bennett, does a wonderful job bringing out the Irish in us all. So, be sure to stop by the festival this weekend for some great food, shopping and live entertainment – and don't forget to wear something green!
Other events taking place in the weeks ahead include Harborfest and the Baby Boomer's Rock-and-Roll Revival with Jerry Blavat on September 29 (both are Sea Isle City Chamber of Commerce and Revitalization events), Sea Isle's annual Italian Festival and Columbus Day Parade on October 6, the Environmental Commission's Autumn Beach Clean-up on October 13, the Halloween Parade and Family Dance Party on October 19, and the Chamber of Commerce's Octoberfest celebration on October 20. These are just of few of the upcoming events you won't want to miss, so plan on spending a lot of time with your family and friends in Sea Isle City this fall. After all, the weather is still beautiful and so is our town!
And speaking of Sea Isle City's beauty, I want to encourage everyone to pay a visit to our beautiful new Welcome Center on JFK Boulevard, which opened for business last weekend. The Welcome Center is a great place to learn about what's happening in town, purchase beach tags and speak to representatives from the Chamber of Commerce. Plus, it's as functional as it is attractive – so be sure to stop by soon!
In closing, I want to remind everyone that we have a lot of road construction taking place around town, so be on the look-out for detour signs that alert drivers to necessary road closings. While there may be some temporary inconveniences along the way, I thank you for your patience as we improve our City's infrastructure and make our roads smoother. When all of our road work is completed, you'll see that the end result will be well worth the effort.
Smile...You're in Sea Isle!
Mayor Leonard C. Desiderio

PROJECT UPDATES:
With the prime summer season now behind us, the City’s project activity has intensified. We will have many projects ongoing this coming fall, winter and spring, in order to once again improve and beautify the City. These include the complete reconstruction and improvement of JFK Boulevard, streetscape improvements to Landis Avenue from 39th to 43rd Street, replacement of the skate park at Dealy Field with a new state of the art concrete facility, replacement of deteriorated bulkheads, new railing for the southern end of the promenade, multiple utility and road paving projects, resumption of the lagoon dredging project, and additional improvements throughout the City in continuation of one of our core missions – to maintain and improve our public assets and infrastructure.
Construction of Welcome Center Addition to the Community Lodge and Renovations of the Existing Lodge Facility and Site – The Welcome Center addition has been completed and was opened to the public on September 15, 2012. The Community Lodge remains open and all activities continue as scheduled. On the surrounding site, City forces have completed the paver plaza fronting the Fisherman’s Memorial wall. When finally completed, the area will include lighting and bench seating. Landscaping and sidewalk reconstruction will be performed by Public Works forces on the 42nd Street side prior to next season.
Lagoon Dredging - The current status of the project is as follows:
*The contractor, Wickberg Marine Contracting of Belford, NJ, has completed dredging the western end of Rio Grande Lagoon and a portion of Rio Del Isole (along Venicean); as well as work around the Yacht Club.
*The dredging plant has returned to the City, and is currently working to complete dredging in Rio Grande lagoon.
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)
The project provides for the ability of private property owners adjacent to the project area to enter into an agreement with the dredging contractor to dredge their private slips (at the private owner’s expense). In conjunction with the City project, properties at the above locations do have the required permits to perform private slip dredging.
As part of this project, consistent with the commitment to afford the opportunity to private property owners to have their slips dredged (at their own expense), the City continues to work with the Army Corps of Engineers and the NJ Department of Environmental Protection to obtain permits for previously identified areas of need, including the western side of Venicean Road (along the intracoastal waterway) and along Sounds Avenue in the area of 38th Street. Permits for these areas are expected to be obtained this fall, which will still allow time for these property owners to come to agreement with the dredging contractor to have their slips dredged prior to completion of the overall project. Please see photos below of the dredging project in Rio Grande canal, taken September 20...
Sewer and Road Reconstruction on Central Avenue (49th to 69th Street) - The project has been contracted to the firm of Lewandowski Construction Industries, Inc., of Waterford, NJ. The contractor has resumed construction operations following the summer hiatus, and is currently working from 63rd toward 69th Street. Utility work was previously completed from 63rd to 55th Street, and the road surface was temporarily restored to allow for vehicular travel over the summer. The remainder of phase one (to 49th Street) along with phase two (from 63rd to 69th Street) will be completed this fall and winter; after which the entire roadway will be resurfaced (in the spring). The project will provide for an upgraded sewer system and new road surface for the entire one mile stretch of roadway. This section of sewer has been problematic for years, with continuous maintenance issues; and this project will not only provide for appropriate sewage infrastructure, it will assist in decreasing the amount of ground water sent to the county sewage treatment plant, thus saving in unnecessary costs associated with the treatment of “infiltration” water. Please see photos below of Central Avenue between 63rd and 64th Street, taken earlier this week...
Utility Reconstruction on Landis Avenue (54th to 69th Street) – The project has been contracted to F.W.Shawl & Sons of Marmora, NJ, and will provide for water and sewer line replacement in advance of the County project to resurface Landis Avenue from 54th to 69th Street. To date, the contractor has installed hydrant services, water main extensions out of several intersections, and new water services to adjacent properties. The contractor has remobilized his operations following the summer hiatus and has completed water service installations between 54th and 55th Street; and will proceed southward on Landis with sewer and water services over the next several weeks. The County is scheduled to resurface Landis Avenue from 54th to 69th Street in the spring of 2013. Please see photos below of Landis Avenue, taken earlier this week...
Inflow and Infiltration (I & I) Remediation – The firm of Video Pipe Services, Inc. of Newfield, NJ, has substantially completed the major re-lining and repairs, but must complete some corrective work to internal repairs to finalize their contractual obligations. Some of this work will require excavation of the road surface. The contractor has resumed construction operations, following the summer hiatus, and is now working on 72nd Street (between Landis and Pleasure), after which they’ll move to 32nd Street (between Landis and Central). The need for this project was identified over the past several years through a comprehensive investigation and analysis of the City’s sewer system. Sewer systems are prone to both inflow (overland water entering the sewer system through manhole covers and other surface openings in the system) and infiltration (entry of groundwater into pipelines through cracks, deteriorated pipe, and pipe joints). The effects of I & I are symptoms of deterioration of the sewer system that must be corrected to avoid more problematic maintenance issues and potential failure of the sewer system. I & I is also costly, in that the City must pay for the unnecessary treatment of water that enters the sanitary sewer system. This is the first phase of a multi-year citywide sewer maintenance and improvement project that will ensure the continued viability of the City’s vital sewer infrastructure. The next phase of I & I work will involve replacement of sewer lines that cannot be substantially corrected through internal, “no-dig” repairs, as are being performed in this phase. As those projects are engineered and prepared for bidding and construction, we will provide updates on the specific details of the projects.
Utility Reconstruction, Various Streets - The project includes replacement of deteriorated underground utilities (water and sewer) in several streets, as part of the City’s comprehensive road and utility program. The project is being performed by Garden State General Construction, Inc., of Rio Grande, NJ. Following utility work, the streets will receive new surface paving. The following streets are included in this project:
1. 42nd Street, Landis Avenue to Promenade
2. 48th Street, Landis Avenue to Promenade
3. 50th Street, Landis Avenue to Promenade
4. 51st Street, Landis Avenue to Promenade
5. 60th Street, Landis Avenue to Central Avenue
6. 43rd Place street end with guide rail barrier
7. 79th Street, Landis Avenue to Central Avenue
8. 60th Street, Landis Avenue to Beach End
The contractor is currently working at the 48th and 50th Street locations.
JFK Boulevard Reconstruction, from Bridge to Landis Avenue – The County worked with the City to design this project to reconstruct and reconfigure JFK Boulevard from the bridge to Landis Avenue. The project limits also include reconstruction of Landis Avenue from JFK Boulevard to 40th Street. The project scope includes the addition of widened sidewalks, decorative lighting, streetscape improvements and landscaping, a new traffic light at JFK Boulevard and Park Road, drainage improvements, and elevation of the road surface which will assist during times of flooding. The project involves federal funding, and the next step is for the County to obtain authorization from federal and state agencies to proceed to bidding. The county expects to receive the necessary authorization this month in order to award a contract for a fall 2012 construction start. In this event, construction will take place between October 2012 and May 2013.
Water Well and Well House Construction at 50th Street – Last week, the City received 11 bids for construction of a new water supply well and well house to replace the inactive, obsolete facility on 50th street (between Landis and Central Avenue). The apparent low bidder was B&H Contracting, Inc., of Folsom, NJ, in the amount of $1,363,000. The pre-construction meeting for the project will be held on October 4th, at which time the details on construction procedures and schedule will be discussed. Ultimately, the project will provide for the capability to deliver approximately one million gallons of water each day to City residents, and will help to ensure the viability of our critical water infrastructure now and into the future. A portion of the work will require around the clock operations (during well drilling, which will extend to a depth of over 800 feet). The surrounding residents will be notified regarding these operations, and the City will take measures to minimize any inconveniences. The project is expected to be completed prior to the summer 2013 season.
