November 26th at 10:00 a.m. So, you'll be able to go online then and purchase a a badge online and pick them up uh and continue to be online until it ends at the end of of um December and then pick
them up the first three weekends in December at the um at Burrow Hall there. You can buy them and still get them there and pick them up in person even though you put them online. and they'll be there from 10 to three the first three weekends in December. So, uh we're
starting that a little bit earlier this year, the online badge sales. And December 7th, annual holiday market, our traditional market is going to be uh in going again from 10:00 a.m. to 400 p.m. at the Seaside Park Elementary
School. And then right after that, uh, as tradition has it, the annual tree lighting at 5:00, uh, at the C at the Seaside Park Police Department and then the PBA holiday party and toy drive will follow at 6 p.m. at the Tri Burrow building after
that. So, all good stuff there. >> Thank you. >> Yep. >> Anything else from council? Yeah, I was just going to give um an update because I know I mentioned it at the last meeting that we've been meeting with the um Seaside Park Board of Ed. We had a
follow-up meeting with them on the 14th. It was a a good session. I think I had reported prior that, you know, they were to come back to us with a proposal um a draft from, you know, their attorneys. They had to go back to the state um
I want to make sure I get it right. the Department of Education. Um, one of the concerns is how they can utilize the remaining funds they have in their reserves. At one point, we thought maybe they would be able to transfer that over with the asset of the property, but
instead we're looking at ways that they can actually do the capital improvements in advance of that. So, Marty had a follow-up meeting with them today and the um the contractors that are potentially putting that proposal together. So, I think we're making progress. Um, so that was this week. It
was a a very productive session. >> Thank you, Janet. Any other council? Yes, counc just an update on the boardwalk. Few items here. Boardwalk update as of 11:14 pile drive
uh was 70% complete. Framing was 50% complete and the decking was 20 20% complete. The overall project is approximately 48% complete and slightly ahead of schedule for late January, early February completion.
The 2026 New Jersey DOT mispull aid for Seaside Park was awarded a 235,663 grant for road improvements to Sea Street and X Street. If this grant is less than in previous years and
depending on the cost of construction, the project may be scaled back to just one street. The current scope of work include full depth road reconstruction, raising the elevation of the road to improve drainage, storm drain upgrades, concrete curve sidewalks and apron
replacement and ADA compliant ramps were required for the interse intersections. In their current condition, both roadways are worn with many utility trenches, some of the pavement areas, as well as various pavement is cracked. The
project will also include uh rebranding of the roadway to improve drainage conditions. The K Street roadway improvements. The bid date is due December 2nd, 2025, awarded in January 2026 with the construction to commence
spring of 2026. And the internal project is phase one of of the central park has started. Papers are installed and benches are being built. We are waiting for the electrical to be scheduled um for the electric service onto that property.
