SEA ISLE CITY HURRICANE SANDY RECOVERY UPDATE: Nov. 8

HURRICANE SANDY RECOVERY UPDATE:

As clean-up efforts continue throughout Sea Isle City, please be aware of the following important information:

DEBRIS, TRASH and RECYCLING:

Storm Debris: The City’s Public Works Department continues to collect storm-related debris from curbs around town.  The pick-up process is taking place neighborhood by neighborhood.  When each neighborhood in town has been visited, Public Works forces will return to previously visited areas to continue with the next round of collection. 

Regular curbside trash and recycling collections will resume on Tuesday, November 13.  The regular Trash and Recycling Schedule will once again be in effect at that time. 

Please Note: Due to the Veterans Day holiday observance, there will be no curbside trash and recycling collections on Monday, November 12.  That week, properties that normally have their trash and recycling collected on Mondays will have a Tuesday collection.  Tuesday collections will take place on Wednesday; Wednesday collections will take place on Thursday, etc. 

The City’s Trash and Recycling Depot, located on JFK Boulevard adjacent to the Sea Isle Bridge, is open 7 days a week, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Prior to November 13 (when curbside trash and recycling collections will resume) property owners are asked to please drop-off their trash and recycling at the depot.  In the meantime, please keep household trash separate from storm-related debris and trash on your curb. 

Trash Dumpsters have been placed at the following locations for public use: 

44th Street and Park Road
66th Street and Central Avenue
71st Street and Central Avenue
73rd Street and Pleasure Avenue
75th Street and Central Avenue

THE SEA ISLE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS MOVED:

Because of the extensive hurricane damage that was sustained to the Public Safety Building on JFK Boulevard, the SICPD has moved their operations into the Sea Isle City Public School building at 4501 Park Road, which has been empty since the spring of 2012 (when Sea Isle’s remaining public school students were transferred to Ocean City). Police operations will continue inside the school until further notice.  

The police department is utilizing the rear annex of the school facility, and is using the rear entrance on the 46th Street side of the building.

The Sea Isle City Police Department’s phone numbers remain the same.  For all emergencies, dial 911. For non-emergency calls, phone (609) 263-4311. 

Please Note: Within the next several weeks, all City Hall offices and the remaining Public Safety offices will also be relocated to the Sea Isle City Public School on Park Road. Additional details about that move will be communicated when available.

CITY HALL PHONES: 

City Hall’s phones are working properly once again. To contact City Hall, dial (609) 263-4461.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING CHANGES: 

City Council’s November 13 regular Council Meeting (at 10:00 a.m.) and the November 13 Planning Board Meeting (at 7:00 p.m.) will both take place inside the Sea Isle City Public School at 4501 Park Road.  The times for those meetings will remain the same.

Please Note: Handicap access to the Public School Building is available on the 45th Street side of the facility.

HALLOWEEN TRICK-OR-TREATING:

Following the postponement of Trick-or-Treating last week, the City has decided that there will be no Trick-or-Treating this year. We apologize to the local children, who will not be able enjoy that popular activity in Sea Isle City this fall, however the City’s first concern is their safety.  Many property owners are expected to be in town this weekend, cleaning their homes and adding debris to curbs around town – and this will create additional safety issues for pedestrians. Therefore, young and old alike are advised to use caution whenever walking or driving through Sea Isle City.

VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED:

In response to numerous requests to help the City with cleanup and restoration efforts, the City and the Sea Isle City Chamber of Commerce & Revitalization have organized an Adult Volunteer Clean-Up Day on Saturday, November 10, at 9:00 a.m. at Excursion Park.  Those who are available to volunteer are asked to bring any of the following supplies: plastic snow shovels for sand removal, heavy duty rakes for debris removal and work gloves.  Your help will be appreciated!

Sea Isle City Hurricane Sandy Update November 2, 2012

SEA ISLE CITY -- If anyone would have told us two weeks ago that we would be cleaning up after a major storm like this we would have thought they were crazy. For the last day and a half we have been cleaning up around our building on 60th Street and Landis Avenue and put all of our computers and equipment back in the proper places so we can get back to the task at hand. 

Many of our property owner clients have been calling us to see what is really going on down in Sea Isle City and I wish we could tell them all that there is no damage, but some properties have had damage and many will need contractors to do minor work such as sidiing repairs, powerwashing, painting and the like. Let us know what sevices you might need and we can recommend the right people.

Most of our agents are back in the office doing their thing as well. Can you believe how many rental questions and booking requests we got this week? I guess the combination of watching the storm on TV and sitting at home by the computer was the perfect storm. Yes we can get those places and we will check to see that it is still standing.

This weekend we will be open both Saturday and Sunday from 10am until 4pm to handle all of your real estate needs. 

Finally, I want to express the obvious that the Sea Isle City government and city employees have done a awesome job in keeping us safe and informed. Thank you Mayor Desidario !

For more information about Sea Isle City check us online at www.LandisCo.com !!

SEA ISLE CITY -- As of Oct. 31 at 1 p.m. the city will allow homeowners, residents, and business owners into town so they can inspect, repair, and clean-up their properties. Officials ask that all owners inform the police department should they smell gas, see any electrical problems, or notice any other serious issue that would pose a threat to safety.

Access to the island is for the security of individual properties and businesses only.

There is to be absolutely no sightseeing within Sea Isle City as police will be strictly enforcing the law with regards to this point. As of this announcement, the State of Emergency is still in effect, and clean-up, road, and utility repairs are still ongoing throughout the barrier islands.

Thank you in advance to your cooperation and understanding of our position. It is in all our best interests that we follow these procedures and restore the town as quickly and safely as possible.
Thank you.
