Harvey Cedars November 2021 News

by harveycedarsnews＠lists.cit-e.net

Borough of Harvey Cedars, Ocean County, NJ November 2021 Hometown News [image: Thanksgiving 1182790550-612x612.jpg] *Department of Public Works & Public Property - Commissioner/Mayor Jonathan Oldham* Nine years ago, last week, SuperStorm Sandy ravaged our little town. It took a number of months to reopen and longer to recover. We must always remember the ocean is wonderful and dangerous at the same time. Public Works has flushed all the hydrants getting ready for the winter months. We are putting the town to bed. Ice eaters will be going on the docks, trash cans in, benches put away, public bathrooms closed for the winter season, so they don’t freeze up, everything ready for a long winter's nap. However, we do keep a porta potty at the park all winter long. Paving will start on 72nd Street and 85th Street the week of the 8th of November. They will install some drainage and curbing, followed by scarifying and regrading, and then final paving. The process should not take very long, but if you need to get out during the process you will need to park across the street. We will be notifying residents by phone calls and Nixle updates. Good news! We just received notification that our streetscapes grant application has been approved. We will be looking to design a walkway through the center of town. This will be a great addition to our town. I want to thank the members of the committee that worked on this concept, it is exciting to get this far. We still have a lot of work to do, however it will be a big improvement to the business district. We are still waiting for the final approval for the plans for the paving of North Holly and Essex Avenue. As the winter gets close, we will get the snow removal equipment hooked up and ready to go. We are hoping for a warm winter with very little snow. I am not sure that is going to happen but we can hope. *Department of Revenue & Finance – Commissioner Paul Rice* The finance department is working hard this month on our yearly short-term debt sale. Similar to last year, we expect to have another low interest rate. 2022 Holiday Beach Badges are on sale! The exclusive holiday design can be purchased at Borough Hall or by mailing in your order form. Quantities are limited. The Harvey Cedars Activity Committee met in person last month for the first time in over a year to recap 2021 events and brainstorm ideas for 2022. The Committee is happy to see new members joining the group this year. As a reminder, all concerts and events are paid for through collection of craft show fees, donations and sales. NO tax dollars are used to provide for fireworks, concerts and other events. Thank you to all committee members for volunteering throughout the season. Without you, the summer events would not be possible. The Committee is selling Harvey Cedars merchandise at Borough Hall. There are long sleeve shirts, tote bags, cookbooks with recipes from your neighbors, hats and more! Stop by to pick up a holiday gift and support the Activity Committee. *Department of Public Safety & Public Affairs – Commissioner/Deputy Mayor John M. Imperiale* On behalf of myself and Chief Burnaford we want to wish all a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving! Body Worn Cameras: The Harvey Cedars Police Department is proud to announce the deployment of body worn cameras. In addition to our in-car cameras which we have had for 10 years, our officers assigned to patrol duty will wear a body camera to enhance community trust and record public interactions in an official capacity. The cameras will be worn on the police officer's outermost garment, in the center of the upper body. The body worn cameras will be used in accordance with the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office Directive and the Harvey Cedars Police Department policy. Our Supervisors will conduct a monthly review of body worn camera footage in accordance with the AG Directive and HCPD policy. We look forward to this age of continued transparency and will continue to provide the residents and visitors of Harvey Cedars with the best possible services. Body Worn Cameras are a positive for both the public and police officers. They can ensure an impartial record of police interaction with the public. However, the State did not fully fund the program. For example, they did not provide any funding for all of the ancillary costs associated with the program, including maintenance, training, and record keeping. I will continue to lobby the State and our State Representatives to sufficiently support all aspects of this valuable program. Additionally, the administrative and clerical tasks associated with the Body Worn Camera program will be significant. I am working on ways to address these administrative and clerical tasks without taking Officers off patrol. "LET-IT-GROW “ NOVEMBER (Formerly No-Shave November): The HCPD is participating again this year in the annual “LET-IT-GROW” campaign to raise awareness and funds for those impacted by a cancer diagnosis. This year, 100% of the proceeds will go directly to "David's Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation", a great Foundation committed to helping NJ families that are battling cancer. It’s A “fun” way to encourage donations. You do NOT have to quit shaving to contribute. Since our Officers are always clean-shaven, people invariably ask “‘are you growing a beard’ or ‘what’s up with not shaving?!” And the answer leads right into encouraging donations. I, personally, am all in! Please visit www.hcpolice.org to donate. David’s Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation is a 501c3 Not-for-profit that raises funds to provide financial assistance, wellness services, and hope to New Jersey families afflicted with a cancer diagnosis. Their website is: Davidsdreamandbelieve.org <http://davidsdreamandbelieve.org/> HCBP Business Appreciation Program: As with all businesses, recruiting and retaining a full seasonal staff is a challenge for the Harvey Cedars Beach Patrol. Chief Townsend did a great job in maintaining a full staff of Lifeguards and Beach Badge Checkers this year, and next year the great Harvey Cedars businesses will show their appreciation to our staff. Four HC breakfast and lunch businesses: The Neptune Market, the Nep2une Surfside Grill, Birdy’s, and Agnello’s By the Cove will give HC Lifeguards and Badge Checkers a 10% discount on breakfast and lunch throughout the season. This is a nice incentive for staff to come and stay with the HCBP. I want to thank these great businesses for their generosity and commitment to our town. DEAD TREES!: For those who do not know, Harvey Cedars last year passed a “Dead Tree” Ordinance requiring homeowners to remove dead trees - or the town will remove them and charge the homeowner. Dead Trees are not just unsightly, they are a huge safety issue. Branches have flown through the windows of other homes, and onto the boulevard; the trees themselves easily fall and cause damage. With the increased storms and high winds, dead trees MUST be dealt with. Removing dead trees is the law, but it is also common sense. CROSSWALKS: Completed! After many delays due to issues with the boulevard repayment, the additional Crosswalks in Harvey Cedars were completed by the County. I want to thank the Ocean County Engineer’s office for their follow-through on getting this done. DID YOU KNOW? Last month we started a “Did You Know?” section where we will present an interesting fact about the HCPD that you should be aware of. So…Did you know….every year over 100 property owners in Harvey Cedars register for the Winter House Checks Program. This Program, currently overseen by Ptl. Nick D’Andrea, is a service that has our officers periodically checking in on properties when they are unoccupied for any period of time, and notifying the owners of any issues. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this free and invaluable service! Visit www.hcpolice.org and click on “Winter House Check” to sign up today. We do ask that everyone signs up every year to ensure that the department has the most current contact information. [image: Thanksgiving images.jpg]

Harvey Cedars October News

by harveycedarsnews＠lists.cit-e.net

Borough of Harvey Cedars, Ocean County, NJ October 2021 Hometown News [image: image.png] *Department of Public Works & Public Property - Commissioner/Mayor Jonathan Oldham* Summer is over and Fall has begun. The nights are starting to have that crisp cool feel to them. You can even sleep with the AC off and the windows open. We enjoy the cool nights, but they are a sneak preview of a cold winter to come. The dock on 78th Street is finally completed. We just have a few finishing touches. It looks great. A tremendous improvement to the town. We will be flushing hydrants throughout town in the next few weeks. This may cause a little discoloration to your water. If you let it run for a few minutes, the discoloration will quickly disappear. We are beginning the water main replacement on North Holly within the next two weeks. We are also in the process of improving the water flow on Bay Terrace. In the near future, you will see us paving 72nd Street and 84th Street. This should be completed before the paving plants close in December. We have just submitted the plans for funding approval for improved drainage and paving of North Holly and Essex Avenue. As things wind down, we will be putting the beachfront to bed for the winter . You will see us rolling up the access mats, removing the lifeguard stands, securing benches, and bringing some of the trash cans off the beach. As we wrap things up, you will need to turn off your outside showers, blow out your sprinkler systems, and make sure your plumbing is ready for freezing weather. Freeze ups can cause a lot of damage, so take the necessary steps to get your house ready for winter. We could get a cold snap sooner than expected. We still have a lot to accomplish before the end of the year. *Department of Revenue & Finance – Commissioner Paul Rice* As the weather cools down and we head into fall, it's time to start thinking about Holiday Beach Badges for 2022! The order forms with this year's holiday design and information will be emailed within the next couple of weeks. The tax sale that was scheduled to take place on September 10th was canceled due to all delinquent payments being received prior to the sale. As a friendly reminder, the 4th quarter tax payment of 2021 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. For your convenience, we offer a FREE direct debit program for taxes and water/sewer bills. If you would like to sign up for this service click here <http://www.harveycedars.org/Cit-e-Access/webpage.cfm?TID=150&TPID=14906>. *Department of Public Safety & Public Affairs – Commissioner/Deputy Mayor John M. Imperiale* The Summer season is over and I want to thank Police Chief Burnaford and the HCPD, and Lifeguard Chief Townsend and the HCBP for a terrific season. More people, bigger crowds, more rip currents, continuing roadwork, many other issues, and, with their leadership and professionalism, we had a safe, successful season. Speaking of rip currents we are ordering explanatory rip current signage for each beach entrance. These signs are produced by the United States Lifesaving Association, and clearly demonstrate how to recognize a rip current and what to do if caught in one. They take some time to be delivered, and more time to install, but they will be installed before next season. Please be aware of a new law in New Jersey: the “NJ Safe Passing Bill” which requires that all motorists must move over a lane when encountering a walker, bicyclist, or wheeler, if a lane is available and safe to do so; if not, they must pass no less than four feet from the walker, bicyclist, or wheeler. If neither moving over a lane or moving four feet away is possible, the motorist must reduce speed to 25 mph or lower than the posted speed while passing. The HCPD will enforce this new law as it does with all traffic regulations. Traffic lights were turned off - earlier than I would have wanted. I know that some want the lights off this early, but, given the still crowded town, I would prefer they stay on longer. I spoke several times with the County Engineer’s office, as the County dictates turning the lights on and off. They agreed to check in with Harvey Cedars a month before any decision in the future, though noted that they must consult with all towns on the North end. Speed limits are due to rise sometime over the next few weeks. Bottom line: please drive safely, and watch for pedestrians and bikers. Over the course of the year, we presented the background of our Chief and the members of the HCPD. You will get a chance to meet them, and learn about their respective areas of responsibility, at a series of HCPD Community Forums that are planned for next Spring. Until then, each month we will add a “Did You Know?” section where we will present an interesting fact about the HCPD that you should be aware of. So…Did you know…. the HCPD has been accredited since 2011 by the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police through its New Jersey Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission and has received re-accreditation every three years since then. Accredited status represents a significant professional achievement and acknowledges the implementation of policies and procedures that are conceptually sound and operationally effective. *Special Notice From The Harvey Cedars Taxpayers Association* Calling all taxpayers, residents, and friends of Harvey Cedars! HC will receive its dune grass from the county on October 8th and with that, your HCTA has arranged a fun social event to help get everyone motivated and coordinated in our planting and dune protection efforts. Here's a quick event run down: Saturday, Oct 9: 9am to 1pm *(can’t make it on the 9th, read on for more options!)* For this event, we will focus on our community dune areas in greatest need of grass plantings: -- Essex Ave though 68th Street -- Burlington Ave through Atlantic Ave 9AM Meet HCTA Trustees and other neighbors at the HC Department of Public Works (DPW) building -- that’s the white gate that faces the Blvd, near the water tower -- to get grass and tools for planting. The bundles of grass don’t weigh much and can be transported easily in the back of a car (yep, we have trash bags to keep the back of your car clean!). Some planting tools will be available to borrow from DPW and you’re also welcome to BYO trowels, gloves. etc. See the videos below for ordinary household tools to help with planting. 1PM Meet back at the DPW building to return whatever you borrowed and head right over to Sunset Park to enjoy some refreshments and socializing with neighbors, friends, and the HCTA trustees. Here’s some additional info to help make your dune grass experience richer and more meaningful… Learn more about planting techniques and the importance of dune grass: https://youtu.be/9LuaKu-n3yA Here’s a link to an instructional video on how to plant dune grass: https://youtu.be/kDRuaF1H7XU Can’t Make it on Oct 9th? You can still help protect our dunes! Dune Grass is available to taxpayers at no charge with a simple call to the Public Works office at 609-494-6905. The grass delivered to HC on October 8th will be viable for planting for up to three weeks. If you can make it out to do some dune grass planting on another October date, please call and let them know, the Folks at Public Works are eager to help. The more dune grass we can get planted in the fall, the better our dunes and our island will be protected for years to come. Thanks, in advance, for your help in protecting our beautiful Harvey Cedars! Attachments area Preview YouTube video Why is beachgrass so important to the Jersey Shore?

Harvey Cedars September News

by harveycedarsnews＠lists.cit-e.net

Borough of Harvey Cedars, Ocean County, NJ September 2021 Hometown News *Department of Public Works & Public Property - Commissioner/Mayor Jonathan Oldham* Labor Day is already here, and we are looking forward to the fireworks as summer officially comes to a close. It is my hope that you have had a wonderful, safe summer. I know many of us will enjoy slower weekends in the fall. We still have projects to complete in Public Works. We will soon be paving 72nd and 85th streets - we will be awarding the contract this week. We will begin replacing the water main along North Holly in the very near future. We also hope to pave North Holly and parts of Essex this fall. The dock on 78th street is under construction. The process has been painful, but we are working on it with our guys, and if we are not diverted to other emergencies, we will start to make visible progress. As far as the beach goes, the nearshore sand placement project has been completed. They placed 110,000 cubic yards of sand just off the shoreline. We are planning on leaving the beach mats out until the end of September unless a hurricane comes up the coast. If that happens, we will remove the mats sooner to avoid damaging them. A quick plug for the Volunteer Fire Company: they could really use your support. They were not able to hold the Dog Day Road Race fundraiser again this year, but you can still support the Fire Company by purchasing a shirt. Please click here <https://shorepromotions.com/dog_day_race/shop/home> if you would like to purchase a Dog Day T-shirt and support the Fire Company. A win-win for everyone! *Department of Revenue & Finance – Commissioner Paul Rice* Thank you to the Harvey Cedars Taxpayer Association for hosting the annual taxpayer meeting. It is nice to hear the concerns of our taxpayers. The tax rate in Harvey Cedars is 0.940, which means the average tax bill is $9,745.06. 29% of the tax bill goes to fund the municipal budget, 41% to the county, 25% to the regional school, 5% to the local school and 1% to the municipal open space fund. We work hard to keep the municipal portion of the taxes stable to maintain a steady tax bill. The municipal tax sale for delinquent 2020 taxes is scheduled for Friday, September 10, 2021, at 10 AM. At this time, there is one property scheduled to be sold at tax sale. Thank you to all of our taxpayers, in these unprecedented times, for paying on time and keeping our town fiscally solvent. For your convenience, we offer a FREE direct debit program for taxes and water/sewer bills. If you would like to sign up for this service, please click here. <http://www.harveycedars.org/Cit-e-Access/webpage.cfm?TID=150&TPID=14906> *Department of Public Safety & Public Affairs – Commissioner/Deputy Mayor John M. Imperiale* I hope everyone had a great Summer….and can keep it going through September! As you are probably aware, we changed the timing for the Wednesday evening Concerts to 6 P.M.we to 8 P.M. This was done purely for safety reasons, as it is much better to have people leaving Sunset Park and crossing the boulevard while it is still daylight. We expect to keep this time going forward. Speaking of the Concerts, our HCPD Officers did a great job in covering the Concerts. Between those events, the Blue Claw Craft Show, and the Coffee With A Cop events, and their regular patrols, our Officers were truly part of our community this Summer! New traffic signage was installed along 80th Street, to emphasize that 80th Street is not an Outlet back to the Boulevard, and that U-Turns are not permitted on the side streets. We will continue to evaluate traffic signage throughout the town in an effort to improve safety. With the off-season approaching, please remember to utilize the HCPD “Winter House Check” Program. This program is free of charge and will help our officers keep an eye on your property when you are not here. We ask that every property owner visit www.hcpolice.org to sign up. Please be aware that this time of year we start to lose our lifeguard staff to high school and college commitments. Some of our least populated beaches will be unguarded on certain days if not every day through the end of the summer. The unguarded beaches will be routinely patrolled by lifeguards on quads to speak with beach patrons and encourage them to swim near a lifeguard. Additionally, please note our postseason lifeguard schedule September 8-12 Middlesex and 80th guarded daily weather permitting. Sept 13-30 Middlesex guarded 7 days weather permitting September 13 - 30 Weekends 80th St guarded staff and weather permitting Remember: while September is typically great beach weather, the hurricane season brings increased changes of rip currents. Please be mindful, pay attention to the flags, and obey Lifeguard instructions at all times. Our Harvey Cedars Beach Patrol continues to shine in local competitions (Note: all are held after hours). While the HCBP priority is, and always has been, protecting our beaches and beach-goers, these after hour “competitions” are more than just sporting events. They demonstrate the training, professionalism, and excellence of our HCBP staff. Congratulations to HCBP Chief Randy Townsend and his team on the following accomplishments this year: - Long Beach Island Lifeguard Tournament: 1St Place AND SIX times in a row as Champions. Longest duration in history of one town holding title as champions 2014 -2021 - Ship Bottom tournament 1st place - Surf City Epic tournament 1st place - Lavallette Men’s tournament 1st place - HCBP tournament 1st place - Diamond Beach Tournament 1st place - Ortley Beach tournament 1st place - Cape May Point Women’s challenge 1st Place - Lavallette Women’s tournament 2nd place - Seaside Park tournament 2nd place - LBTWPBP women’s tournament 3rd place Additionally, I am proud to say that the AC Press posted a new video interview/instructional article to articulate and show what a rip current is and how a lifeguard effectively makes a rescue - and they featured HCBP Chief Randy Townsend and his staff demonstrating how to recognize and deal with rip currents. The AC Press chose Randy and our beach patrol for this film because of our great relationship with them and because of the great work that our patrol does day in and day out. Continuing our monthly presentation of the background of the HCPD Officers, this month we present our newest (as in Brand New) Officer, Jonathan Rainier: Special Officer Class 2 Jonathan Rainier 22 Years Old Long Beach Township Police Department, Class 2 & Dispatcher, May 2018 - July 2021 Harvey Cedars Police Department, Class 2, July 2021 - Present Attending Stockton University *Recycling Changes* "Residents please be advised that there's been an increase in acceptable recycling materials allowed by the county. You may now place clean and dry chipboard items, including cereal boxes, aluminum food cans foil along with #1, #2, and #5 plastics with the lids and caps on in your recycling bin. All other recycling guidelines are to remain in place. Examples of acceptable plastics waste include plastic drink bottles, yogurt containers, disposable cups, juice and milk jugs, and sturdy cosmetic and cleaning bottles. Please continue to refrain from placing plastic bags of any kind in curbside recycling.

Harvey Cedars August News

by harveycedarsnews＠lists.cit-e.net

Borough of Harvey Cedars, Ocean County, NJ August 2021 Hometown News *Department of Public Works & Public Property - Commissioner/Mayor Jonathan Oldham* The first of August marks the middle of summer. We just had a wonderful meet and greet on Saturday night, and it was so good to see Jim Fritz. We will continue to cheer him on as he recovers. The Near Shore Sand placement project is underway and we are starting to see some improvement to our beaches. This is great news. We are hoping for a minimal hurricane season so we can capture as much sand as possible. The water tower has been cleaned. Between now and the end of the summer most of our attention will be on the beach. We are constantly working on walkovers and entrances. Each rain storm brings more work. In between working on the beach, we will slip off to work on the dock at 78th Street. The County will be working on the Boulevard in the next few weeks. There are two sections that will be replaced along with repairing manholes and storm drains in the south bound lanes. As a reminder, there is another bulk trash pickup day this summer on Monday, August 16th along with regular trash pickup. Two (2) bulk items, such as furniture or mattresses, may be placed out for pickup. That is all for now. Please notify us if you have a specific concern. *Department of Revenue & Finance – Commissioner Paul Rice* The new tax bills were mailed in mid-July. The grace period has been extended through August 13, 2021. We offer convenient online bill pay for tax and utility bills at www.harveycedars.org with minimal processing fee. Looking to get involved in the Harvey Cedars Community? The Harvey Cedars Activity Committee is looking for volunteers. The Activity Committee hosts fun events throughout the year. Email events(a)harveycedars.org if you're interested in volunteering. Kids Night in the Park has been postponed, and a new date in August will be posted on Social Media. Come out for a night of family fun with a petting zoo, juggler, carriage rides, and emergency vehicles on display. Proceeds will benefit the Marine Mammal Stranding Center and the Harvey Cedars Police Foundation. The Annual Blue Claw Craft Show will be on August 21, 2021. The Long Beach Island PBA #175 will host the crab race. Come support local crafters and/or race your own crab! *Department of Public Safety & Public Affairs – Commissioner/Deputy Mayor John M. Imperiale* I hope the Summer is going well for all. Continue enjoying safely! Just a reminder of the importance of locking your vehicles and removing your key fobs. There have been recent incidents in Harvey Cedars and on LBI that warrant this precaution. Always report any suspicious activity to the Harvey Cedars Police Department. Speaking of car thefts, while on patrol at approximately 1:45am on July 19th, HCPD Officer Nick D’Andrea observed two high-end vehicles traveling south through Harvey Cedars. Once the drivers of the high-end vehicles noticed Officer D'Andrea’s police car, they accelerated and continued heading south at a high rate of speed. One vehicle ended up in Newark and the other vehicle crashed near Hochstrasser Marina. Officer D’Andrea along with other LBI Officers were able to safely apprehend the driver. Both high-end vehicles were stolen out of Loveladies. Great police work by Officer D’Andrea for being on patrol while most of us are sleeping! After 8 years with the HCPD, Ptl. Anthony Abbatemarco has resigned effective August 1st and will be joining the NJ State Police. We want to thank Officer Abbatemarco for his great service to Harvey Cedars and wish him luck in his new position. And I am happy to announce that Ptl. Jonathan Rainier has joined the HCPD as a full-time Special Law Enforcement Officer Class II. Chief Burnaford did a great job in having qualified candidates ready to step in as soon as there was an opening so that we would not be short-staffed at any time. The HC Beach Patrol underwent an annual “Sanitary” examination and review by the LBI Health Department, and got a perfect review. Congrats to HCBP Chief Randy Townsend and his management staff. The HCPD held 2 “Coffee With A Cop" events in July, one at Birdy’s and one at the Neptune Market. Thanks to these great HC businesses for hosting us. The Chief and the Officers did a great job meeting residents, answering questions, getting to know the HC residents better, and letting the HC residents know them better. We are looking to schedule another “Coffee With A Cop” event later in the season, possibly at the new Agnello’s By the Cove. Details to follow. Once again, we are aware that with the repairs needed to fix the boulevard repaving work still on-going, the remaining Crosswalks have not been completed. This is unacceptable from a safety issue and we will continue to “nag away” until the County’s commitment is met. Continuing our monthly presentation of the background of the HCPD Officers, this month we present Officer Nick D'Andrea: Patrolman Nick D’Andrea: 24 Years Old Harvey Cedars Police Department, Class 2, March 2020 - Jan. 2021 Harvey Cedars Police Department, Full-Time; Jan. 2021 - Present Associate Degree in Social Science from Ocean County College *Friendly Borough-wide Reminders * *Litter.* The wind and seagulls are our biggest litterbugs! Please use trash can lids to cover your trash cans. Recently, the Borough has received complaints of uncovered trash cans. *Dead Trees.* Please cut down any dead trees on your property before they spread disease to healthy trees. You don't always need a tree doctor to tell you if a tree is dead. There are a few exceptions to the rule, but if a tree's leaves are 100 percent brown, or if a pine tree's needles are 100 percent rust-colored, the tree is dead, and it needs to come down soon. A dead tree could fall on its own or be pushed over by winds, so it’s a safety threat to nearby houses, fences, garages, automobiles, etc. Per Borough ordinance, violations will be issued for non-compliance. *Concerts.* The Wednesday night concerts in Sunset Park now start at *6pm* and end at *8pm*. Adjust your fun-time schedules!

Harvey Cedars July News

by harveycedarsnews＠lists.cit-e.net

Borough of Harvey Cedars, Ocean County, NJ July 2021 Hometown News *Department of Public Works & Public Property - Commissioner/Mayor Jonathan Oldham* Happy 4th of July. We want to wish you a happy safe holiday. A couple of exciting things to report this month. We installed a new flag pole out on the point at Sunset Park. Thanks to the businesses that donated to make Harvey Cedars a better place. The Land Use Board has completed their review of the master plan, and one of the outcomes was to design a streetscape plan for downtown. Following this exercise, we have applied for a grant to the State for the downtown business district. The Nearshore Betterment Sand Placement project will begin next week. Not a moment too soon. We desperately need our beaches to fill in. This project will last 30 to 45 days. There should not be any interruption to beach patrons. Still to come, the cleaning of the water tower, 78th Street dock, North Holly water main along with Essex drainage. We have been delayed due to backorders and COVID, but you will see activity shortly. *Department of Revenue & Finance – Commissioner Paul Rice* Congratulations again to Daina for receiving the Clerk of the Year award! It's a well-deserved recognition for all of her hard work and dedication to Harvey Cedars over the years. Daina is our Clerk of the Year every year! The finance department has applied for and received the first portion of Harvey Cedars' share of the federal American Rescue Plan funds. We are working on where best to use the funds within the federal guidelines. Tax bills are anticipated to be sent this month. The bills will be sent out when the certified rate is received from the County. Summer is here! Excited for a "normal" summer filled with events. It is wonderful to see the park being used by so many of our residents! There are many activities to check out - LIT, soccer camps, tennis camps, pickleball and more. There are ReClam the Bay educational sessions in the park and Virtual Discussions from Rutgers. Our first official event will be Craft Day by the Bay on Saturday July 3rd. The summer concert series will be held every Wednesday beginning July 14th, weather permitting. Harvey Cedars 33rd Annual Arts Festival is scheduled for Sunday July 18th. For a full list of events stop by Borough Hall to pick up a calendar. Donations for the Labor Day Fireworks celebration are appreciated. *Department of Public Safety & Public Affairs – Commissioner/Deputy Mayor John M. Imperiale* On behalf of myself and Chief Burnaford, we want to add our congratulations to all of the accolades that Daina Dale has received on being named State of New Jersey Municipal Clerk of the Year for 2020. Could not be more deserving! We are more than aware that the County has NOT completed all of the Crosswalks that they committed to complete before the Season began. There are 6 remaining Crosswalks to be done. The County Engineer is well aware of our urgency. We will continue to reach out to them until the work has been completed. Working with Chief Burnaford, Chief Townsend, and the HC Labor Attorney, Armando Riccio, we produced the first completely detailed Harvey Cedars Beach Operations Handbook, a 33 page Document that covers all Beach Operations, Duties, Discipline, Conduct, Procedures, and other Policies. This was a big undertaking before the season began and I want to thank all involved for their dedication. This Handbook was “officially" adopted by a Borough Resolution at the June 21st Borough meeting. In addition, a mandatory two-hour training session was conducted to ensure that all beach operations employees are fully aware of all our Policies and Procedures. Speaking of training, in June the HC Police Department held its annual “Full Department Training Day,” where each Officer covers a specific topic of expertise for the full staff. All of the HCPD Officers did a great job! And I want to thank the HCPD Chaplain, Wes Smith for attending the event and offering his inspirational words. With the 4th of July weekend coming up, please be aware that illegal fireworks will not be tolerated. A notice stating such will be on the boulevard signboard and posted on our social media platforms. In June, Chief Burnaford was asked, and honorably accepted, to give some opening remarks at an event sponsored by the NJ Office of Homeland Security & Preparedness, in collaboration with the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office and the US Department of Homeland Security. The event was designed to provide public health services for reopening businesses, the current threat environment and everyday community preparedness resources. Quite the important topic, obviously, and it was an honor for the HCPD Police Chief to be asked to give the opening remarks. Congrats Chief Burnaford! In our continuing presentation of the background of our Officers, this month we present the 2020 Officer of the Year Officer Daniel Grundtisch’s bio: Patrolman Daniel Grundtisch: 31 Years Old Stone Harbor Police Department, Class 2, 01/2013 - 09/2013 Ocean City Police Department, Class 2, 12/2017 – 08/2018 Little Egg Harbor Police Department, Class 2, 08/2018 – 07/2019 Harvey Cedars Police Department, Class 2, 07/2019 – 10/2019 Harvey Cedars Police Department, Full-Time; 10/2019 to Present Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice from Stockton University
