Graffiti artists immediately welcomed this new addition to the beachfront. Many wondered what it was. A whale tail? A female body part? Nope. Greg says it&#8217;s a broken seashell.<\/p>\n<p>Seems that Mr. Knight has already asked Mayor Guenther about placing another sculpture at the triangle fountain on 31st street. Council was shown a model of the proposed structure. At this point, looks like the Brigantine Garden Club and Cultural Arts Commission were kept out of the loop on this potential issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brigantine\u2019s PBA President & local police officer; Rich DeLeon,<\/strong> queried council about the public safety director; Dan Howard. DeLeon asked for a status update. City Manager Blumenthal said the city\u2019s appeal of Police Capt. Cox\u2019s reinstatement as acting chief has thrown a wrench into the works. Looks like an answer to that questions will be pushed to some future discussion.<\/p>\n<p>Next city council meeting: 6 p.m. Wed, Dec. 4 at City Hall.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/shorenewstoday.com\/snt\/news\/index.php\/brigantine\/news\/47033-council-approves-payouts-bonds-at-special-meeting.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Brigantine+%28Brigantine%2C+NJ+News%29\" target=\"_blank\">Read FULL report in Beachcomber.<\/a><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-20452 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/brigantinenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/988364_586225804783581_102318003_n.jpg'><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/brigantinenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/988364_586225804783581_102318003_n-300x250.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/brigantinenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/1455973_586225741450254_1318124131_n.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/brigantinenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/1455973_586225741450254_1318124131_n-300x250.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/brigantinenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/1466081_586225734783588_2064467288_n.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/brigantinenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/1466081_586225734783588_2064467288_n-300x250.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/brigantinenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/1466236_586225908116904_15685036_n.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/brigantinenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/1466236_586225908116904_15685036_n-300x250.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brigantine City Council met on Monday night to OK additional borrowing & debt.
