Seaside Park approves consent agenda including county‑funded stormwater pump station
Summary
Council approved a consent agenda that includes a shared‑services agreement and a stormwater pump station project receiving $338,000 from the county (50% of a $676,000 estimate); residents asked for more public notice about the project during comment.
Seaside Park’s council approved its consent agenda on Aug. 7, 2025, which included a shared‑services agreement for construction of a stormwater pump station on Bayview (14th Avenue) and a lease to Singular Wireless for water‑tower antenna attachments that the borough expects will generate roughly $78,000 in revenue.
A council member summarized fiscal details for several resolutions: the stormwater pump station (resolution 283) is estimated at $676,000 of which the county will provide $338,000 (about 50%); Singular Wireless (referenced as the tenant for the water‑tower lease) will bring an additional approximately $78,000 into borough coffers; and TNM Associates will provide administration and construction observation services for a boardwalk reconstruction phase at a cost of $126,500 (about 3% of the $4.34 million phase).
Public comment: Mike Spino of 59th Avenue pressed the council to explain the pump station’s significance and said he would have liked a council member to brief the public on how recently installed piping and the new pump station will work together to reduce flooding. "This resolution is so very significant that I really would... like somebody from council not notify the public about the importance of this pump station," he said, asking for more public explanation of preceding piping work.
Council action and context: council closed the public portion on resolutions and approved the consent agenda by roll call vote. Officials characterized the pump station as a flood‑mitigation measure tied to recently installed piping; the funding structure and service contracts were approved as part of the consent package.
Next steps: work tied to the pump station and boardwalk reconstruction proceed under the awarded contracts and shared‑services agreements; project administration and any change orders will follow the borough’s contracting process.
Sources and provenance: the items and funding figures were read and summarized by council beginning at SEG 092 and elaborated at SEG 118–135; public comment from Mike Spino appears at SEG 141–154.
