Seaside Heights approves $1.4M in bills, introduces sewer bond ordinances and clears seasonal hires and events

The Seaside Heights Borough Council approved a series of consent and regular‑agenda items at its Feb. 4 meeting, including a large bills payment, appointments, and event permits, and placed capital bond ordinances for sanitary sewer improvements on the record for council consideration.

Resolution No. 26‑79 authorized payment of bills totaling $1,406,266.85 and was included in the consent agenda that also approved appointments (supervising parking enforcement officer), seasonal/temporary hires, and a transfer of funds (Transfer #3). The consent agenda also listed a federal aid agreement with the New Jersey Department of Transportation and an appointment of Board members for the District Management Corporation. The minutes show these items approved on the consent agenda; the transcript does not list a separate roll‑call for each consent item.

The council placed two bond ordinances on the agenda to finance sanitary sewer improvements: Bond Ordinance No. 2026‑04 (appropriating $3,000,000) and Bond Ordinance No. 2026‑05 (appropriating $6,400,000). The minutes show ordinance texts and appropriation amounts; they do not include the final adoption votes in the sections provided.

Ordinance No. 2026‑06 (amending Chapter 246, "Zoning and Land Use") was adopted on motion (Smith moved; Carbone seconded) with a roll‑call approval by the full council present. The council also approved licenses for amusement games (Res. 26‑86), with Councilor Smith recording an abstention.

The council approved several seasonal and special‑event permits, including an ESA surf contest (March 21), New Jersey Jeep Invasion (May 16) and a lacrosse tournament (May 31), and recessed at 5:40 p.m. for an advertised 6:00 p.m. public hearing on the Green Acres grant before reconvening and continuing business.

The meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
