From Mayor Fox
August 19, 2021

With just 3 + weeks left in our “official” Summer season, Beach Staff (lifeguards, attendants), Public Works,  Public Safety, and Tourism continue to do a phenomenal job.  We are on target for another successful year.  Thanks to all!

As we move into Labor Day Weekend and the final 4 months of 2021, we in the Municipal Government are focused on our “to do” list for the remainder of the year.  The big items are:

  • COAH (Affordable Housing) requirements- getting into compliance with an approved plan.
  • The LaReine Avenue Church- completing the Engineering analysis and assessing alternatives.
  • Many Personnel procedures and practices- revisions and corrective actions
  • Keeping our Infrastructure projects on track- among which are the Sewer project Phase 2 is almost 2 years behind.  I’d like to also  begin to assess a bulkhead extension from 3rd Avenue to Avon.
  • Continuing Beachfront Improvements- replace the “boardwalk” section of Promenade near Ocean Park/ Newark Avenue.  Completing addition of handicap ramps on 2 beaches.
  • Our Council Improvements of a Standing Committee Process

Lots to do, we’ll be busy!  Have a great Labor Day weekend.
See you around town.
