Reminders: HCPD Forum, Next Borough Meeting

by harveycedarsnews＠lists.cit-e.net

*FROM:* Department of Public Safety & Public Affairs – Commissioner/Deputy Mayor John M. Imperiale *RE:* A Couple of Reminders: HCPD Community Forum and LBI Health Dept. I wanted to remind everyone that next *Wednesday, October 26th at 5:00 at Borough Hall will be the next HCPD Community Forum*, featuring Detective Tim Butler. Detective Butler will be presenting crime prevention, scams, investigations and more. In addition to detailing the role of a detective within the HCPD, Detective Butler will cover such topics as Senior Financial Abuse and other scams, home security systems, burglary prevention tips, vehicle theft prevention tips, and more. Mark your calendar! Also, at the Borough meeting on October 7th, we had a great presentation from Bob Schuster of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regarding the dead fish in our coves this summer. He was able to present the “why” of why this happened (basically: water too warm; oxygen level too low). For those who could not attend, I have attached a copy of his presentation below (a great suggestion I got from a resident ). However, as there were outstanding questions about any health implications from the dead fish, I have invited Dan Krupinski, the head of the *LBI Health Department to attend the first Borough meeting in November - Friday, Nov. 4th at 4:30 *to discuss any health concerns regarding the fish kill and answer all questions. Thank You, John Attached is the DEP presentation.

Harvey Cedars October 2022 News

by harveycedarsnews＠lists.cit-e.net

Borough of Harvey Cedars, Ocean County, NJ October 2022 Hometown News *Department of Public Works & Public Property - Commissioner/Mayor Jonathan Oldham* We are in the middle of another hurricane. As I write this, Ian is passing through New Jersey. The beaches have already suffered a significant amount of erosion and the rain continues to come down. The flooding on some of the typical streets has been difficult. You really must watch the tides as you navigate your way on and off the island. Columbus Day weekend is this upcoming weekend, and a lot of people will be on the island for the holiday. Public works will be working to restore the beach entrances as soon as the surf subsides. I am not sure we will be able to repair all the accesses, but we will do our best. We will focus on the street ends first and will target the area between Essex Avenue and Salem Avenue. This is where we are the most vulnerable. We are expecting to have our application approved to install the new monitoring well at the Borough Hall. This will be a costly project, but the cost will be shared by Harvey Cedars, the State of New Jersey, and Long Beach Township. The State is mandating us to install an additional well because we continue to exceed the amount of water we are permitted to draw out of the ground. More information will follow as things progress. We are working with the Taxpayers Association on the brick project at Sunset Park. The area around the existing flagpole will have a paved area with a short wall for sitting along with benches. Landscaping will also be added. Brick pavers may be purchased and engraved with messages in honor of or in memory of a loved one, event, pet, etc. Good progress has been made with this improvement at the park. Here is a link to become a part of the project: https://www.bricksrus.com/donorsite/harveycedars The Harvey Cedars Taxpayers Association (HCTA) is operated by a group of dedicated volunteers focused on enhancing the quality of life for residents, businesses, taxpayers, and guests of our town. It also facilitates communication among taxpayers and between the taxpayers and the government. Membership is just $35 per household, the cost of a seasonal beach badge. Becoming an HCTA member is the first step in having more involvement in what happens in our Borough and across the Island. Please check out their website (www.harveycedarstax.org) and feel free to contact any of the current trustees for more information about how to get involved. *Department of Revenue & Finance – Commissioner Paul Rice* Happy October! As a friendly reminder, the 4th quarter tax payment of 2022 is due on November 1st. Added/omitted bills will be sent out in the next few days for those property owners that have additional assessments. The Harvey Cedars Activity Committee is excited to announce the return of the fall wine tasting! The event will take place on November 5th from 5:30pm-7:30pm at the High Point firehouse. There will be 35+ national brand wines to sample and hors d'oeuvres. Tickets for the wine tasting will be $45 per person and you must be 21+ to enter. To purchase tickets visit Borough Hall or mail payment with attendee names to: Harvey Cedars Activity Committee, PO Box 3185, Harvey Cedars, NJ 08008. If you missed out on our new 2022 t-shirt design, visit our online shop by clicking here. Available in a t-shirt and sweatshirt! Stay dry. *Department of Public Safety & Public Affairs – Commissioner/Deputy Mayor John M. Imperiale* The HCPD Community Forums resumed in September with Sergeant Steve Frazee and Officer Dan Grundtisch presenting “Firearms, SWAT, and Officer Training. I want to thank Sergeant Frazee and Officer Grundtisch for a great job, as they were extremely informative and their dedication and professionalism were clearly demonstrated. Chief Burnaford also went over the department’s Organization Chart again and led a spirited question and answer session. Thanks to everyone who attended, and to those who sent myself and the Chief some extremely positive notes and emails afterward. I would like to remind everyone that the next HCPD Community Forum will be on *Wednesday, October 26th at 5:00 pm with Detective Tim Butler presenting: Protecting Our Citizens: Crime Prevention, Scams, and Investigations.* Mark your calendar for another excellent HCPD Community Forum. Chief Burnaford and I want to thank our Seasonal Officer, Danielle Bialecki, for her valuable service to Harvey Cedars this summer. Her patrol of the boulevard and streets, mostly on a bicycle, and her patrol of the beach, greatly improved our efficiency and coverage. We look forward to Officer Bialecki returning next year. And I am happy to report that two local LBI residents have donated two Electric Bikes to the Harvey Cedars Police Department. These electric bikes will only make patrolling our town even more efficient next year. I want to thank Chief Burnaford for maintaining the excellent community relations that make donations such as this happen. Last year we requested additional crosswalks on the Boulevard and the County added 7 Crosswalks to our streets - almost all we requested. I am happy to note that this month they came back and did the rest, adding crosswalks on Union, 72nd, 84th, and 85th streets. Please remember to be safe when walking, and stop for pedestrians when driving. Many of us have dealt with the “unpleasantness” of the fish kills in Kinsey and Harvest Cove this summer. The Chief has been working with the LBI Health Department, NJ Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and NJ State Police since the original occurrence. For those interested, we have asked a representative of the DEP and a representative of the LBI Health Department to attend the first Borough meeting in October (Friday, Oct. 7th ; 2 P.M. NOTE the earlier time than usual) to discuss the causes and any concerns the community has. Another 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

Harvey Cedars September 2022 News

by harveycedarsnews＠lists.cit-e.net

Borough of Harvey Cedars, Ocean County, NJ September 2022 Hometown News *Department of Public Works & Public Property - Commissioner/Mayor Jonathan Oldham* The unofficial end of the summer season is near, and I wish everyone a happy and safe Labor Day weekend. As mentioned in my previous newsletter, we partnered with the Taxpayers’ Association to create a way for you to cement a place in the history of Harvey Cedars by purchasing a commemorative brick to be placed around the viewing area at Sunset Park. You can choose wording for the brick to honor or remember a loved one or for yourself and/or your family. Please click this link for more information and to place an order. https://www.bricksrus.com/donorsite/harveycedars As we have all witnessed, our beach is in need of sand; some areas of town more than others, but we all know this can change with just one storm. Harvey Cedars and LBI are due for our 7-year renourishment project in 2023, but first we require Congress to appropriate the necessary funds. We can all help by contacting Senators and Congressmen requesting them to support the federal funding for beach renourishment in the FY23 cycle in the amount of $32 million. The following are links to contact Senators and Congress: US Senator Cory Booker https://www.booker.senate.gov/contact/write-to-cory US Senator Bob Menendez https://www.menendez.senate.gov/contact/email US Congressman Jefferson Van Drew https://vandrewforms.house.gov/contact/ US Congressman Andy Kim https://kim.house.gov/contact/email-me Please reach out to these representatives so they are aware of how important the project is to protect our community. Stay safe, and enjoy the final days of the summer. *Department of Revenue & Finance – Commissioner Paul Rice* It was wonderful to see so many taxpayers at the Harvey Cedars annual taxpayers association meeting. The tax rate in Harvey Cedars is 0.967, making the average tax bill $10,196.29. Your total tax bill is divided as follows: 28.2% of the tax bill goes to fund the municipal budget, 41.16% to the county, 25.03% to the regional school, 4.55% to the local school and 1.03% to the municipal open space fund. The municipal portion of the taxes remained flat to help keep our low tax rate and maintain a steady tax bill. The municipal tax sale for the delinquent 2021 taxes and municipal charges is scheduled for Friday, October 14, 2022 at 10AM. At this time, there are 6 properties scheduled to be sold at the tax sale. This summer provided excellent weather for all of the events hosted by the Harvey Cedars Activity Committee. Thank you to all who attended, donated, and volunteered their time to make each event great. The HCAC volunteers collected $2,498.86 in bucket donations from concert attendees. These donations provide funds for future concerts and events. If you're looking for a new Harvey Cedars t-shirt, stop by Borough Hall to check out the newest design in mint and navy. The HCAC will be meeting soon to wrap-up the summer season and begin the planning of the fall wine tasting. [image: Mint - New HC Design.jpg] The High Point Volunteer Fire Company held the first in person Dog Day Road Race since COVID. The community support for our local fire company and their events never goes unnoticed. Thank you to everyone who helped the fire company have a successful race! If you were unable to attend the race but would like to purchase a Dog Day t-shirt please contact the fire company. *Department of Public Safety & Public Affairs – Commissioner/Deputy Mayor John M. Imperiale* Labor Day Weekend is here and another summer season is coming to an end. I hope everyone enjoyed it and was safe and healthy. I would like to thank HCPD Chief Burnaford and HCBP Chief Randy Townsend for a terrific job this summer. They and their teams did their usual great job, and I know our residents and visitors are appreciative of their efforts. Thanks to the presence of our Seasonal Officer and the addition this year of a Confidential Administrative Assistant, we were able to significantly increase Officers visibility on patrol this summer. And our Beach Patrol remained fully staffed through the middle of August, and is still doing a great job staffing as best as possible as we close out summer. Please note that the postseason lifeguard schedule is as follows: Tuesday, Sept 6th through Friday, Sept 30th Middlesex Ave will be guarded daily. 80th st beach will be guarded on weekends pending weather and staffing. The Harvey Cedars Beach Patrol received another valued accreditation in August, from the United States Lifeguard Association (USLA) for our “Open Water Lifeguard Training Program.” Congrats to Chief Townsend and his staff. I want to thank Agnello’s By The Cove for hosting a “Coffee With A Cop” in August, completing the Coffee With A Cop Program for this year, after our July stops at the Neptune Market and Birdy’s. Chief Burnaford and I appreciate all the residents who stopped by at these events, and would like to remind everyone that the next HCPD Community Forum will be on Wednesday, September 28th at 5:00 pm with Sergeant Steve Frazee and Officer Dan Grundtisch presenting: Officer Training, Firearms, and SWAT. Mark your calendar for another excellent HCPD Community Forum. 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 While the dead bunker fish washing up in our bay waters over the last few weeks were definitely unpleasant, tests have shown that the fish died simply because they were in too close (maybe chased in by predator fish) where the water was too warm and oxygen levels too low for them. We appreciate the efforts of Dan Krupinski and the LBI Health Department, the DEP and the NJSP. A year or so ago, Chief Burnaford and I announced the “Cops Contributing To The Community" Program to capture the great work done by the HCPD Foundation. The latest effort is the “Sneaker Fundraiser Program” run through Gotsneakers.com <http://gotsneakers.com/>, a sneaker recycling organization. That organization collects and distributes used sneakers, either by donating them directly or ensuring that they are recycled, and compensates not-for-profit organizations for their donations. The funds raised through the Used Sneaker Drive will help the HCPD Foundation fulfill its purpose, so please drop off your used sneakers at Borough Hall and help make this program a success. An estimated 200 million pairs of used sneakers go into landfills every year, yet every single one of them can be recycled and the majority of them can be used again by people in need. Let your used sneakers go to good use!

Harvey Cedars August 2022 News

by harveycedarsnews＠lists.cit-e.net

Borough of Harvey Cedars, Ocean County, NJ August 2022 Hometown News *Department of Public Works & Public Property - Commissioner/Mayor Jonathan Oldham* August is here and summer is flying by. Before you know it Labor Day will be here, and everyone will be packing up for the fall and winter. As I mentioned in the last newsletter, we are unveiling an improvement project to the point at Sunset Park. We experience some of the most wonderful sunsets at the point. It is our plan to create a much-improved space to watch the sun set over Woods Island and Barnegat Bay. We are partnering with the Taxpayers’ Association to create a way for you to cement a place in the history of Harvey Cedars by purchasing a commemorative brick to be placed around the viewing area at Sunset Park. You can choose wording for the brick to honor or remember a loved one or for yourself and/or your family. We will also be offering the opportunity for a commemorative brick to be placed in the downtown section of town as part of the upcoming streetscapes project. I am attaching an artist’s rendering of the park improvement project. Guidance on how you can participate in this project and how you can create your own original Borough of Harvey Cedars honorary brick will be coming soon. This is going to be a great project. I hope you find your way to add your memories to the point. [image: Sunset Park - clay brick.jpg] *Department of Revenue & Finance – Commissioner Paul Rice* The new tax bills were mailed in mid-July. The grace period has been extended through August 16, 2022. We offer convenient online bill pay for tax and utility bills at www.harveycedars.org with minimal processing fee. The Annual Blue Claw Craft Show will be on August 20, 2022. The Long Beach Island PBA #175 will host the crab race. Come support local crafters and/or race your own crab! The following day on Sunday, August 21st, is the return of the Fire Company's Annual Dog Day Road Race. This is one of the Fire Company's biggest fundraisers. Remember, as in the past races, the one southbound lane of the Boulevard will be closed for the race Sunday morning until around noon; plan accordingly if you're traveling. Wednesday night concerts run through August 24th from 6pm to 8pm. Concerts are funded through donations, not tax dollars. Donations are appreciated during the concert; watch for the orange buckets! Every dollar collected helps pay for the concerts, events and future fireworks. *Department of Public Safety & Public Affairs – Commissioner/Deputy Mayor John M. Imperiale* I hope everyone is having a safe and healthy summer - and will continue to do so! I want to thank Birdy’s Cafe and the Neptune Market for each hosting “Coffee With A Cop” in July. Many residents and visitors stopped by to meet Chief Burnaford and our Officers. Between events such as these and the HCPD Community Forums we are forming a great bond between the HC Police Department and our citizens. Next up for Coffee With A Cop will be Agnello’s By The Cove on Friday August 19th from 8am - 10am. Speaking of the HCPD Community Forums, another reminder that they will pick up again on Wednesday, September 28th at 5:00 pm with Sergeant Steve Frazee and Officer Dan Grundtisch presenting: Officer Training, Firearms, and SWAT. Mark your calendar for another excellent HCPD Community Forum. Lifeguard Chief Randy Townsend and the HC Beach Patrol continue to provide excellent coverage on our beaches. Although the water has been + or - 60 degrees, our beaches have been fully staffed. A quick further note, in July the HC Beach Patrol underwent a “Sanitary Inspection” by the LBI Health Department and passed the inspection perfectly. Congratulations Chief Townsend. The police department is currently investigating a few reports of vandalism, especially around homes under construction. If you see anything suspicious, or you are unsure, please call the HCPD immediately. “If you see something, say something.” A couple of upcoming events in August that I would like to note: Sunday, August 21st will be the Dog Day Road Race to support the High Point Volunteer Fire Company. Whether you are participating in the run or not, come and support this key fundraiser for the High Point Volunteer Fire Company. Harvey Cedars' own Mike Kramer and the Cornelia Street Band will be playing Friday night, August 12th at 7 PM at the LBIFoundation of the Arts and Sciences (LBIF) in Loveladies. The LBIF is a great organization, worthy of support from everyone on LBI, and the music will be fabulous. There is a large contingent of Harvey Cedars residents already signed up, so come and party with your neighbors if you can. Tickets can be gotten at the LBIF website: www.lbifoundation.org/performingarts

We are also in the process of getting approval on a new well to be located at 76th Street.

HCPD Community Forum this Wednesday

by harveycedarsnews＠lists.cit-e.net

Harvey Cedars June 2022 News

by harveycedarsnews＠lists.cit-e.net

Borough of Harvey Cedars, Ocean County, NJ June 2022 Hometown News *Department of Public Works & Public Property - Commissioner/Mayor Jonathan Oldham* Memorial Day has passed, summer has officially begun, and it was hot enough Monday to make us wish for Fall. Before you know it, it will be the Fourth of July, and summer will be in full swing. We are working hard to get all the beach walkovers cleaned and open because the storm came too close to complete this project by Memorial Day. It took 3 days for Public Works just to clear out the handicapped ramp at 80th street. We still need to install beach mats and then get the trash receptacles distributed to the street ends. Until they are there, please take your trash off the beach when you leave. We had a water leak in one of the transmission lines in the Boulevard which I hope is not a sneak preview of things to come. This is the third repair to the water main in the Boulevard since the road was paved. On a good note, there have been some planting improvements around town. During the week of June 20th we will be planting flowers at the Sunset Park sign on Salem Avenue, as well as in front of the Borough Hall. We can still use some volunteers if you’re interested. We appreciate any help you can give! [image: IMG_3956.jpg] I am sure that some have seen the flagpole in Sunset Park out on the point. We will be introducing a memorial brick and observation area project for that spot. It will be a great addition to our park and a nice way to remember a loved one, and for the community to be involved in the beautification of the town. More information will be coming out shortly on how you can get involved. The Island mayors have worked with the DOT and have been able to delay the construction on Ninth Street in Ship Bottom until the Fall, however construction will continue on Eighth Street throughout the summer. The construction that you see in North Beach will continue, Monday through Thursday until mid-June. At that time the infrastructure project will end and reconvene in the fall. Finally, the High Point Volunteer Fire Company is hosting a Block Party on June 11th. Come out to support the Fire Company and have some fun! *Department of Revenue & Finance – Commissioner Paul Rice* What a fantastic Memorial Day weekend and start of the summer season!! Badges will be required on the beach starting June 18th. Preseason badge rates are in effect through June 15th. Any order dropped off or postmarked by June 15th will be at the reduced rate of $35. Currently, pre-ordered beach badges are available for pickup at Borough Hall during normal business hours. Badges will be available daily starting June 18th at the Beach Badge Booth in Sunset Park from 10 am to 3 pm. June is water/sewer billing month. You will see an increase in your bill due to the new water/sewer billing rates. This is the first increase since 2013. This increase will allow us to operate and maintain our system and infrastructure. *Department of Public Safety & Public Affairs – Commissioner/Deputy Mayor John M. Imperiale* The Chief and I hope everyone had a great and safe Memorial Day weekend and are ready for a great Summer! The HCPD Community Forums continued in May with Sergeant Kevin Snow presenting the department's Administrative functions, including Administration, Scheduling, and Record Keeping. Chief Burnaford and I want to thank Sergeant Snow for a great presentation, and thank all of the residents who attended and were part of a terrific conversation. Next up for the HCPD Community Forums will be Officers Ben Mrozinski and Matthew MacCorkle on Wednesday, June 22nd at 5 P.M. presenting “Officers on Patrol: Traffic, Pedestrian, and Bike Safety." Officer Mrozinski is the HCPD Traffic Safety Officer and Officer MacCorkle is the department’s newest Officer. Come and meet them and learn how they go about their duties in keeping us safe. I am certain another excellent q and a session will take place. At the Borough’s May 6th meeting we appointed Danielle Bialecki as s Class 1 Officer for the Summer season. Officer Bialecki will greatly assist our full time officers with certain calls for service. Weather permitting, she will be assigned to bike patrol which will allow her to travel throughout town enforcing and educating our pedestrians and bicyclists on the rules of the road. Her visibility on the bike will create many opportunities for her to interact with people in a positive manner. Community policing is something that we take very seriously and this is just another way to do that and enforce our laws. Officer Bialecki will also regularly patrol our beaches and be a presence in Sunset Park and at borough events, such as the Summer Concert series. I am sure you have seen by now that Traffic Lights on the boulevard have been activated and the speed limit lowered. Please drive carefully at all times, and remember to move over one lane for pedestrians or bikers, when possible, and slow down to 25 MPH if you can not move over. Please note that Parking Spaces across from the High Point Firehouse have been designated for “Take-out” pick-up only - short-term parking that should aid in the traffic flow and parking for our restaurants. Please respect this restriction. I hope to see everyone at the Saturday, June 11th High Point Volunteer Fire Department’s Block Party, 12 P.M. - 8 P.M. Come support your volunteer fire company, meet your Harvey Cedars neighbors, and enjoy a fun day! Please note the Lifeguard schedule for beach coverage can be found at www.harveycedars.org. Boulevard safety continues to be one of the police department's top priorities, particularly in the summer months. In addition to increasing presence with education and enforcement, and adding signage throughout the town, Chief Burnaford has been asked to be interviewed on 94.3FM, ThePoint, and 105.7 FM, TheHawk, in June to promote pedestrian and bike safety. We should be proud that Harvey Cedars, and our Chief, is the media's go-to source for safety messaging.
