Happy New Year! 2023 looks to be a good year. We have many exciting things
planned for this year. We hope to get the park project going. There are two
streets where we are going to replace the water mains and repave the roads.
We are looking forward to completing
phase one of the Streetscape Project. The Streetscape Project will be a big
improvement to the general business district in downtown Harvey Cedars. The
project will not only improve the look of the downtown area, but it will
also make it much safer for pedestrian foot traffic.
I want to remind you to make sure your house is prepared for the cold
winter weather. Remember to turn off and drain your outside showers. Many
people drain their homes and turn the water off at the meter. If you don’t
turn the water off, set the heat high enough to keep
the pipes from freezing. Trying to save a few dollars by keeping the heat
low could cost you thousands of dollars in water damage from broken
pipes. Again,
I want to wish you a happy New Year. Looking forward to another great year
in Harvey Cedars.

Happy New Year! As we move into a new year, we begin work on the 2023
annual budget. The finance department is working hard to keep expenses
down and no/minimal tax increase. The Harvey Cedars Activity Committee
would like to thank everyone that purchased merchandise during the holiday
season! Your purchases will help the HCAC fund all of our events throughout
the summer. Check out the online storefront by clicking here

healthy New Year.

On behalf of myself, Police Chief Burnaford, Beach Patrol Chief Townsend,
and all of our staff, we wish everyone a great, safe, Happy (and healthy)
New Year. The beginning of December brought incredible pride to Harvey
Cedars when, as a result of 6 HCPD Community Forums, the New Jersey State
Legislature passed and presented to Harvey Cedars a Joint Resolution of the
State Senate and the General Assembly recognizing the Harvey Cedars Police
Department as being “highly esteemed in Ocean County and throughout the
Garden State.” It further stated that the HCPD: “has set a standard of
excellence and established a model to emulate through its trailblazing
Community
Forums Initiative.” The State Resolution, sponsored by Senator Connors,
Assemblywoman Gove, and Assemblyman Rumpf, also praised the members of the
HCPD as “individuals of strong character and uncommon determination.” The
N.J. Joint Resolution concluded by calling the Harvey Cedars Police
Department “a leader in the State” and the legislature paid tribute to its
“exemplary officers.” The full Resolution is pasted at the bottom of this
email. Congratulations to every member of the HCPD.
We would like to thank everyone who brought toys to Borough Hall for the
Harvey Cedars Police Foundation “Fill A Patrol Car” Toy Drive to benefit
CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates.) Through your generosity, the goal
was more than met - the Patrol Car was
stuffed with toys when they were delivered for the children at CASA.
The Sandpaper recently did an article regarding the volunteer Fire and
First Aid responders who service Harvey Cedars and how we as residents can
contribute time and money for their support. The full article can be read

Many thanks to the Harvey
Cedars Taxpayers Association (HCTA) and the Joint Council of Taxpayers
Associations (JCTA) for their work in publicizing the need for us to
support our volunteers.
A reminder to be careful when walking the boulevard in the dark. Even with
lighter clothing, it may be hard for cars to see you on the boulevard.
Harvey Cedars residents can pick up free reflectors to be worn for your
safety at our Police Station. These “High Reflective Visibility Reflector
Bands for the Wrist, Arm, or Leg” can be worn as you walk or run,
enhancing your visibility and safety. If you are one of the hearty souls
out there walking or running in the dark, pick one up, and be safe!

Resolution” praising the HCPD.:
