Seaside Park Borough Council Addresses Infrastructure and Approves Handicapped Parking Ordinance

In a recent meeting, the Seaside Park Borough Council focused on infrastructure improvements, including road repairs and upgrades to the marina, while also advancing an ordinance related to handicapped parking. Discussions were held on a variety of topics, such as the need for costly repairs on a fire truck and the approval of an ordinance listing qualified residents for handicapped parking spots.

07:26A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to infrastructure updates. The New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) projects were discussed, specifically the need for re-milling and paving a section of road between 13th and 14th Avenue due to an error in the initial survey. The contractor undertook the necessary corrections, with completion expected by July 1st. Additionally, improvements were made at the 14th Avenue pier, including painting and landscaping, which were completed without disrupting the local farmers market. Upgrades to the electric service were also highlighted, awaiting final connections from Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L).

03:02In addition to the infrastructure updates, the council approved a first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 435, pertaining to vehicles and traffic. This ordinance updates the list of residents who qualify for handicapped parking in front of their homes.

The council also addressed a costly repair on a fire truck, where labor-intensive diagnostics increased expenses. The discussion revealed that a dome light repair, though seemingly minor, required 13 hours of labor, leading to a total cost exceeding $2,000. This breakdown was provided to clarify any potential questions from the public regarding the expenditure.

05:13Other resolutions passed included authorizing an electronic tax sale, approving vehicle purchases for parking code enforcement, and appointing seasonal employees for the Beach Patrol. Although no public members were present, the council maintained its practice of encouraging transparency and public participation.
