Carried. ORDINANCES: ORDINANCE NO. 1661 – On a motion by Tolomeo, seconded by Koehler, that Ordinance No. 1661 be placed on its second reading. Carried. The City Clerk read Ordinance No. 1661 by its title, as required by Law, known as “An Ordinance Amending Chapter 360, Sewers, of the Code of the City of North Wildwood “. This Ordinance has been published according to Law, posted on the City Clerk’s bulletin board with copies available in the City Clerk’s Office on request. The President of Council stated this was the time and place to hold a public hearing on Ordinance No. 1661 and asked if anyone present had any objections to the passage of this Ordinance. STEVE RITCHIE, 610 Virginia Avenue, stated that he is seeking answers as to the reasons for amending the sewer ordinance. Mayor Rosenello explained that the increase in the fixed rate will help finance the enormous amount of the work that is being done on the City’s sanitary sewer system, especially through NJEIT projects. It seems fairer to pay for the sewer projects through the sewer collections than through the tax collections. Ritchie asked if there are plans for a sewer utility in the future, with the Mayor responding that a sewer utility is not in the City’s immediate or long-term plans at this point. Ritchie asked how this process was initiated, with the Mayor explaining that Leon Costello, the City’s Auditor, had mentioned that many municipalities use REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 5, 2014 sewer collections to pay for infrastructure improvements. Ritchie thought that perhaps a sewer utility is a requirement under the NJEIT regulations or that it may be necessary to amend the sewer ordinance further to allow for collections to be used for infrastructure improvements, as the ordinance currently does not specify that sewer revenues may be used for that purpose, but only to pay the MUA fees. Mayor Rosenello explained that sewer revenues can be used to pay for infrastructure as well, according to our Auditor, but if it is necessary to amend the ordinance further to clarify the expenditures from the sewer revenues, then that can be done very easily. But at present it seems logical to finance the sewer projects through sewer revenues instead of taxes. Ritchie stated that in that case the City is shifting a greater burden onto the year-round residents instead of the summer visitors, and that by increasing the fixed rate it will be necessary to decrease the variable rate. Ritchie stated that seasonal properties only use more water in the summer, so they will pay less and year-round residents will pay more. Mayor Rosenello explained that the variable rate was already raised and now we are raising the fixed rate and the additional revenue will help fund sewer infrastructure projects. If it is necessary to amend the ordinance further, then we will. Raising the fixed rate is a fair way to charge for sewer consumption, instead of having the projects paid for out of everyone’s taxes. Solicitor Kaufmann stated that the ordinance specifies that sewer revenues be used to pay for wastewater treatment and that definition does not confine the funds to be used solely for the MUA. It encompasses infrastructure also. Ritchie asked that Council and the Auditor please review the ordinance just to make sure. Ritchie stated that this amendment to the ordinance is not fair to year-round residents, with Mayor Rosenello replying that the ordinance can always be revisited if necessary. Ritchie asked where the expenditures can be found or identified, with the Mayor responding that they are easily found in the annual budget document, and we will continue to review the situation with the Auditor. The President of Council then asked the City Clerk if he had received any objections in writing, the City Clerk stated none, the President of Council declared the hearing closed. On a motion by Koehler, seconded by Rullo, that Ordinance No. 1661 be passed on its second reading and published according to Law, the roll being called, all voting in the affirmative, the President of Council declared Ordinance No. 1661 duly adopted. ORDINANCE NO. 1663 – On a motion by Rullo, seconded by Koehler, that Ordinance No. 1663 be placed on its first reading. Carried. The City Clerk read Ordinance No. 1663 by its title, known as “An Ordinance Amending and Supplementing Various Provisions of Ordinances that have been Codified in Various Portions of Chapters 3, 19, 33, 45, 61, 71, 75 and 79 of the Code of the City of North Wildwood”. CITY CLERK JETT explained that this ordinance contains many revisions, clarifications and corrections that were needed in the Administrative sections of the City Code. On a motion by Koehler, seconded by Kane, that Ordinance No. 1663 be passed on its first reading and published according to Law, the City Clerk called the roll, all voting in the affirmative, the President of Council declared Ordinance No. 1663 passed on its first reading.

There is not a lot of water there during storms like there is at Maryland Avenue.
