Summary
Council approved four ordinances on second reading (including a $5,850,000 bond ordinance for sanitary-sewer improvements) and advanced a land-use amendment for a May 6 public hearing; the meeting also authorized several routine resolutions (easement release, refunds, appointments and equipment purchases).
At its April 15 meeting the Wildwood Crest governing body cleared a slate of ordinances and routine municipal resolutions.
Three ordinances took effect after second-and-final readings and unanimous roll-call votes: Ordinance 14-83 (amending Chapter 47 to prorate seasonal parking-permit fees issued after Aug. 1), Ordinance 14-84 (a bond ordinance providing up to $5,850,000 for sanitary-sewer and roadway improvements), and Ordinance 14-85 (amendments to parking schedules for disabled parking, time-limited spaces and low-speed-vehicle parking). The council also passed Ordinance 14-86, restricting parking on municipal property to users of the facilities located thereon. For each ordinance the clerk opened a public hearing; no in-person or phone comments were recorded.
Council introduced Ordinance 14-87 to amend several sections of the land development ordinance (definitions, area and bulk regulations for low-density and two-family residential zones, and vehicular access rules) and passed it on first reading; a public hearing and second reading were scheduled for May 6, 2026 at 9:30 a.m.
In resolutions, the council authorized procedural actions and routine municipal business: bond/note-anticipation details tied to the iBank financing, authorization of a professional-services contract with Steven A. Mars, Esquire (transcript references a $5,000 contract figure; one member was recorded as abstaining on that motion), a discharge and release of an easement for Lot 79, Lot 1.01, a refund of $52.50 for a vending-machine mercantile license fee, appointment of one Class II police officer, a 2026 pedal-truck license to Monster Tone LLC, ratification of an interlocal agreement (the transcript notes the end date should read through 12/31/2029), advertisement for electrical-services bids, and authorization to purchase portable radios for beach patrol under New Jersey state contract number 83909.
Votes and roll-call practice: the clerk recorded individual roll-call answers for named members (the transcript lists Missus Fusilaro, Mister Franco and Mister Cabrera among those called) and shows the motions carried by affirmative roll call for the items above. For one professional-services contract item the transcript records Mister Franco27s abstention; other motions recorded unanimous yes votes.
What this means: The bond ordinance (14-84) enables the borough to finance sanitary-sewer and roadway improvements through bond issuance or NJ Infrastructure Bank assistance; other ordinances adjust parking rules and the timing/fee structure for seasonal permits. The council recorded no substantive public opposition during the hearings held that night.
The council will hold the next scheduled hearing on land-use amendments on May 6, 2026 at 9:30 a.m., as advertised.
