Highlights from Brigantine City Council meeting this past Wednesday night, July 17. Click thru to see video clips from the council meeting. It was a standing-room-only crowd starting off with a proclamation honoring Fire Chief Holl who recently passed suddenly. Chief Holl’s family joined Mayor Guenther for this honor.<\/p>\n
Talk of raising the price of 4×4 beach permits. A very preliminary discussion, but you could tell it was a hot potato. Early bird pricing could move from $160 to $185. Regular pricing could move from $175 – $250.<\/p>\n
Our confidence level is currently low in regards to council’s ability to financially, yet prudently, leverage this city beach asset to the max.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Council approved new dog park, as long as money can be found.<\/strong> Park could move to land next to Brigantine Beach Community Center. This infringes a bit, on Brigantine Rams\u2019 football practice field.\u00a0New park could be built in four weeks, as soon as council confirms location, size and funding.\u00a0City Manager; Jen Blumenthal, said new dog park could cost about $25,000 to build.<\/p>\n
Ron Weiss digs deep for doggy dollars once again.<\/strong> Ron already made $20,000 donation to build original dog park six years ago. Weiss volunteered at least another $10,000 towards the construction of a new dog park, if grant or other monies can be found. Councilman Simpson also ponied up $1,000 towards a matching grant.\u00a0Maddog Mike Morgan, head coach of the local football team, talked about the team’s need for the soon-to-be dog park field and was worried about safety issues concerning the dogs.<\/p>\n
Two bond ordinances were discussed. One bond would be for the Brigantine Golf Course. <\/b>$281,000 is needed for replacement maintenance equipment destroyed by Hurricane Sandy and improvements to course \/ clubhouse.\u00a0Councilman Kern smartly questioned Blumenthal about responsibility for the loss, and why the equipment wasn’t moved to higher ground….especially since there was a 72-hour advance notice of the storm.<\/p>\n
Mayor not happy with “sick-time” buyouts<\/strong> and downsizing of DPW city services. Watch Video Clips Below:<\/p>\n
