Harvey Cedars November Newsletter

by harveycedarsnews＠lists.cit-e.net

*November 2023 Newsletter* [image: November autumn.jpg] *Department of Public Works & Public Property - Commissioner/Mayor Jonathan Oldham* Harvey Cedars is getting tidied up before the cold weather sets in. The water tank was recently power washed and is looking like new again. Water hydrants have also been flushed. The Brick Project is moving right along at the point in Sunset Park. Personalized bricks are being installed as new orders arrive. Make sure to take a walk out to the point on a nice day to check out the progress. It’s not too late to purchase your own brick, click here <https://www.harveycedars.org/cn/webpage.cfm?tpid=18417> for details. We still have an ample supply of dune grass for those who wish to take advantage of the warm weather we have been experiencing to plant. Stop by the public works yard on weekdays if you'd like to pick some up. Planting dune grass each fall is vital to our beach protection efforts. The first ever Harvey Cedars calendar is coming together nicely. We look forward to publishing in mid-December for an early January release. Thank you to all who have submitted photographs for consideration. There will be a free, informative Flooding Insurance Outreach Webinar on Tuesday, November 14th at 5:30pm to examine the benefits of flood insurance and important aspects of coverage before flooding is an immediate concern. The presenter will offer helpful steps for staying protected, as well as policy reviews and even one-on-one help, if requested. Webinar Registration (Required) link: https://register.gotowebinar.com/rt/5686349117812120664?source=Flyer <https://link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com/ls/click?upn=ko8mXSZr3Ej-2FW3pTWmj…> Wishing Everyone a Very Happy Thanksgiving! *Department of Revenue & Finance – Commissioner Paul Rice* The end of the grace period for the fourth quarter tax payments is today (November 13th). The grace period was extended a few days due to observance of the Veterans Day holiday on Friday the 10th. Thank you to all those who attended the annual Wine Tasting event! The Harvey Cedars Activity Committee put on a great event as always. Thank you to the Fire Company for the great venue and all the volunteers who make this event successful year after year. If you missed the event, but would like one of the Harvey Cedars stemless wine glasses, stop by Borough Hall to purchase one. They make a great gift! Holiday Beach Badges are on sale for the 2024 Season! The badges are available to purchase at Borough Hall or can be preordered by mail using the order form that can be found by clicking this link <https://www.harveycedars.org/documents/2024%20Holiday%20Badge%20Order%20For…>. Badges must be picked up at Borough Hall. We are meeting with the other departments to start preparing the budget for 2024. The finance department would like to wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving! *Department of Public Safety & Public Affairs – Commissioner/Deputy Mayor John M. Imperiale* There are two community and charitable initiatives of the HCPD and HC Police Foundation that we would like to note: No Shave November and the Annual Toy Drive. Once again, the HCPD will be participating in the “*No Shave November*” campaign to raise money and awareness for those impacted by a cancer diagnosis. The Chief, our Officers, and I have put down our razors for the entire month in an effort to support David’s Dream and Believe Cancer Foundation efforts. Please help us raise money by donating today! More info can be found on our website www.hcpolice.org. And the holiday season kicks-off with the HC Police Foundation “Annual Toy Drive.” We can all be Santa and bring cheer for the holidays! From November 15th - December 8th, the Harvey Cedars Police Foundation and The Harvey Cedars Police Department will be sponsoring the “Fill A Patrol Car” Toy Drive. All donations will go to Family Promise of the Jersey Shore, which helps families experiencing homelessness and economic hardships in Ocean County. Last year our generous residents more than filled the police car, it overflowed! I know that this year will be just as successful. Anyone interested can bring a new unwrapped toy for children from the ages of 3 -17 years old and bring the toys to the lobby at the Harvey Cedars Borough Hall. Any questions, please contact Sgt. Kevin Snow at ksnow(a)hcpolice.org In October, Chief Burnaford, Sgt. Snow and Danielle Tilton, whose responsibilities include Accreditation Manager, attended the final hearing for approval regarding the HCPD reaccreditation assessment , which was conducted by a 12 person panel from the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police. The HCPD was once again successful after receiving a unanimous vote. Congratulations to Chief Burnaford and the entire HCPD on once again demonstrating their complete professionalism, expertise and commitment to excellence. Last month we provided some key HCPD and HC Beach patrol statistics from the summer. With Fall here and Winter approaching, we can note that last Fall and Winter our officers conducted approximately 3,000 home and property checks. As you can see, our officers are busy 24 hours a day, year round. If you are going to be away at all, make sure your home becomes part of those statistics for this year by registering for the HCPD Winter House Registration Program. Property owners can register online (www.hcpolice.org) or fill out this form and email it to dtilton(a)hcpolice.org. It is a great piece of mind for our property owners when they are not here. Feedback and/or questions on these statistics, or the ones we provided for the Summer, are always welcome. Just reach out to me or the Chief anytime! I want to thank the Harvey Cedars Activity Committee for the great Wine Tasting at the Firehouse on Saturday, Oct.28th. Always a great time! It takes a lot of planning and a lot of work to make it such a success. Thanks to all the Harvey Cedars residents who attended the October presentation I gave on the U.S. Constitution as part of my American History talks for the Friends of the Library. As always, it was the terrific discussion that followed the presentation that was most satisfying. And on behalf of Chief Burnaford and myself and our families, a Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Harvey Cedars October Newsletter

by harveycedarsnews＠lists.cit-e.net

*October 2023 Newsletter* [image: IMG_0450.HEIC] *Department of Public Works & Public Property - Commissioner/Mayor Jonathan Oldham* Fall is here and Public Works is busy as ever. We are fixing the beach entrances after the storms from the last two weeks as well as removing the remainder of the beach mats and putting many of the trash cans away for the winter. Many of you may have noticed that the water tank is collecting mold on the bottom due to the moisture and lack of sun light. We will be cleaning the tank later this month. When it’s done, the tank will look clean and new again. If you haven’t taken a trip out to the point at Sunset Park, you are missing out. Phase One is complete and it looks even better than I thought it would. The engraved bricks are coming later this month and will be installed as soon as they come in. I want to thank so many of you who have made this dream a reality. I also want to thank those who worked alongside me to make this happen. It would not have happened without so many people pitching in. If you have not yet joined the memorial project, there is still time. You can still purchase a brick and leave a mark on our town. To jumpstart the creation of our first ever, Harvey Cedars calendar, we are looking for your help. We will be running a photo contest, where selected photos will be highlighted in the calendar. Forward any digital photos (recommended 300 dpi) of Harvey Cedars you would like to be considered to hcdpw(a)harveycedars.org. Older, hard copies can be mailed to: Public Works, PO Box 3185, Harvey Cedars, NJ 08008 for possible inclusion in the calendar. If you submit hard copy photographs and wish them returned, please include your name, address and telephone number in the envelope. The deadline for submissions is October 31st. As in the past, there will be a large supply of dune grass available to residents for pick up on October 6th. The dune grass will be left outside the public works gate for residents to access over the October 6th weekend. During the week grass can be picked up in the DPW yard. Planting dune grass each fall is vital to our beach protection efforts. *Department of Revenue & Finance – Commissioner Paul Rice* October is a slower month for the finance office. We are preparing to begin the annual budget process. The tax office is preparing to send out the Added/Omitted tax billing. They will be sent out next week for those property owners that have additional assessments. These bills are in addition to the originally billed taxes and are due November 1st. This month the Harvey Cedars Activity Committee is hosting their annual Wine Tasting event on October 28th from 5:30-7:30pm at the High Point Firehouse. This event is a great place to get together with neighbors and friends before the busy holiday season. Come out and enjoy 35+ national wine brands and hors d'oeuvres. Tickets are $50 per attendee and are now available for purchase. Tickets can be purchased at borough hall from Monday-Friday 8:30-4pm or by mailing a check to PO Box 3185 Harvey Cedars, NJ 08008. Space is limited! If you're looking to get a jump on your holiday shopping, check out the Harvey Cedars Activity Committee online storefront by clicking here <https://shorepromotions.com/harvey_cedars/shop/home>. All purchases go towards events and activities hosted by the HCAC! *Department of Public Safety & Public Affairs – Commissioner/Deputy Mayor John M. Imperiale* The HCPD Community Forums resumed in September with a terrific presentation from Dan Krupinski, head of the LBI Health Department. Dan presented the background and operations of the LBI Health Department and discussed all of the health and safety tasks the department regularly performs for island municipalities. The scope of their work was eye-opening for many residents, who now have a great appreciation for all they do. Thank you, Dan, and thanks to everyone who attended and again led a thorough q and a session. With the storms and horrible weather through much of September, our Police Department and Beach Patrol had their hands full. We had many days of strong winds and dangerous rip currents throughout the month. We updated our social media platforms and other communication vehicles frequently to keep the public well informed of conditions. And the HCPD had all extra emergency vehicles, such as the "5-ton, hummer” available, and posted on social media in regards to where to call in case of power outages. I did receive several calls from residents about lines down. The HCPD responded immediately to insure no safety issues. Thankfully, other than Comcast being down for several hours, no serious issues were reported. In September the HCPD went through its 4th re-accreditation assessment and the assessors from the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police found no issues. Official re-accreditation will follow soon, but it is not too soon to congratulate Chief Burnaford and the entire HCPD on once again demonstrating their complete professionalism and expertise. We have been asked to provide some HCPD statistics, so here are some numbers for the summer months of July and August” HCPD: Traffic Stops: 441 Summonses Issued: 138 Motor Vehicle Accidents: 12 Medical Assistance: 42 Our beach patrol has officially closed out another great summer season. Thank you to Beach Operations Chief Randy Townsend and his entire staff for providing great services from our lifeguards, beach badge checkers, beach transportation program etc. We are already looking forward to 2024! And here are some some HC Beach Patrol stats for the season: 126 days on duty 13 guarded beaches 47,616 swimmers (estimated) *200 rescues* 14 named storms in the Atlantic Ocean 16 lifeguard tournaments, rows, and individual competitions entered 10 podium finishes 8th consecutive island championship I hope to see many of you at the *Wine Tasting *at the Firehouse on Saturday, Oct.28th. Always a great time! And THANKS to the Activity Committee for making it happen! Check www.harveycedars.org for information. A reminder: It is not too early to think about registering for the HCPD Winter House Registration Program. Property owners can register online ( www.hcpolice.org) or fill out this form and email it to dtilton(a)hcpolice.org. It is a great piece of mind for our property owners when they are not here. Finally, another reminder: I have been asked by the Friends of the Island Library to expand on the American History talks I gave in February and March, and so on Saturday, October 7th, from 10:00 -12:00, I will make a presentation entitled: A Citizen’s Look at the U.S. Constitution. I expect we will have another good interactive discussion. I hope many of you can attend. To register to attend and for information about membership in the Friends of the Island Library, stop by the library for a brochure or email *lbif(a)theoceancountylibrary.org* <lbif(a)theoceancountylibrary.org> *Clerk’s Office – Municipal Clerk/ Anna Grimste* Election day is November 7, 2023, polls will be open 6am to 8pm.
