Wildwood Crest commissioners adopt three ordinances and approve ambulance MOU, refunds and purchases
Summary
The Borough of Wildwood Crest Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted three ordinances updating salaries, waiving certain construction fees for accessibility, and revising parking rules; they also approved a shared daytime ambulance memorandum of understanding and a set of routine fiscal resolutions including refunds and equipment purchases.
Wildwood Crest — The Borough of Wildwood Crest Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt three ordinances on second and final reading and approved a package of resolutions at a meeting in Burrow Hall on the day’s agenda.
The ordinances approved include Ordinance 14-92 (an amendment to section 59-3 of the borough code addressing salaries and compensation), Ordinance 14-93 (a change to the borough code to allow waiver of fees for accessibility-related construction within a disabled person’s home) and Ordinance 14-94 (amendments to parking rules, including restricted parking zones for persons with disabilities, golf cart parking provisions and restricted parking on Heather Road). Each ordinance was placed on second and final reading by title, opened for public hearing (no public speakers), and passed by unanimous roll-call votes recorded as Yes from Missus Fusilaro, Mister Franco and Mister Cabrera.
Why it matters: The fee-waiver ordinance aims to reduce financial barriers for accessibility modifications in private residences, while the parking amendments formalize rules for disability parking and golf cart storage that affect daily mobility and enforcement on borough streets.
In addition to the ordinances, commissioners approved several resolutions covering routine municipal business. The governing body authorized submission of an application to the New Jersey Urban Enterprise Zone Authority seeking enterprise zone assistance funds for the period 01/01/2026–06/30/2026, approved refunds for duplicate or overpaid fees (including a $45 fire-prevention registration refund to Jack Baron and a $420 mercantile/tourism refund to Shun Wang Loong and Lane Wong), and authorized the purchase of a Kubota four-wheel-drive tractor for the Department of Public Works under the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program.
The board also accepted the audit result noting no corrective action plan was required for 2025 and approved settlement terms for a tax appeal identified in the record as Crusader Land LLC v. Borough of Wildwood Crest. Commissioners authorized awarding professional services to William J. Kaufman as a special conflict solicitor at a not-to-exceed $7,500 (firm name read into the record), and adopted resolutions to contract with approved state and national vendors for 2026 and to amend the borough’s 2025 personnel policies and procedures manual.
A memorandum of understanding among the City of Wildwood, the City of North Wildwood and the Borough of Wildwood Crest to provide shared daytime ambulance response was also adopted by unanimous vote.
Mayor (speaker 1) thanked staff and department heads for their work on recent projects and the audit, saying, “congratulations to Francine and team, Burrow Wildcrest, and all department heads for a job well done.”
What’s next: Commissioners authorized an executive session under NJSA 10:4-12(b) to discuss potential employment for a deputy CFO and potential land acquisition. The board recessed for a short break to convene that closed session; no final action on those matters was taken in open session during the meeting.
Authorities and references in the record included the Open Public Meetings Act (Public Law 1975, chapter 231), NJSA 10:4-12(b) for the executive session authorization, and multiple borough code sections cited with each ordinance.
