Hello Everyone,

     I hope you are enjoying this warmer weather although I fear it may be a bit short lived. Here are a couple of thoughts that I wanted to pass along.

     Firstly, I want to be certain that you know that our website has been totally revamped. It has been rebuilt from the bottom up through the hard work of many led by Beverley Konopada, our Borough Clerk. Please take a few minutes to check it out and feel free to call her at 732-475-6983 Ext. 313 with any questions you may have. The reviews so far have been very positive regarding ease of use and clarity.

     We will be introducing a resolution amending a previous resolution banning any rentals in town. This latter resolution was passed following the Executive Order by the Governor banning all rentals in New Jersey due to COVID-19 several months ago. From this point on rentals must be a one week or longer.

     As many of you may know marijuana use is now legal in this state. As an example, it is  possible to smoke this walking down the street without penalty. In the next few months you will see a few ordinances in our town dealing with this issue. You will also be receiving further information regarding new Rules and Standards regarding this new law.

     I haven’t mentioned this for a while but the matter of car thefts is still ongoing.  Last week a car was stolen in Bay Head which ended up in an accident in Wall Township. There were five men in the car most of whom had criminal histories. Please be diligent in locking your car and garage and keep the fob in your home.

     Finally, the Ocean County Health Department has created a special call center hotline for people 75 years and older to make appointments to receive the vaccine. This number is 856-249-7007. The center is open from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

     That’s all for now. As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

     Be well and stay safe.

      Best,

     Lance White

     Mayor
