Oceanfront homeowners between Manasquan and Barnegat inlets are being urged to sign easements necessary for a beach renourishment project to get off the ground by May 1, officials said Thursday. U.S. Rep Jon Runyan (R-3) wrote to the mayors of a number of northern Ocean County municipalities this week urging them to secure all necessary easements for the massive dune and beach project by May 1, the date the Army Corps of Engineers must submit a work plan to Congress. The project's design – which would include the construction of approximately 25-foot high dunes, 75 foot wide berms and 175 acres of dune grass in the project area – was completed in 2007, but has languished after some oceanfront homeowners refused to sign easements that would…

A demographer's report is expected early spring to aid Brick Board of Education's choice on full-day kindergarten.
The Board of Education is expecting a report from a demographer by early spring to make a decision about full-day kindergarten for Brick, Superintendent Dr. Walter Uszenski said on Friday. "We know the research says it is great to start kids at an earlier age and we are looking at the possibility in September," Uszenski said about full-day kindergarten. "We are hoping the demographer report will be availabe by early spring and we can make educated decisions about what we can and can’t do," Uszenski said. The main factors driving this will be financial costs and classroom space availability, he said. The report would only serve to help make recommendations to the school board, examine all the options and get the community's input, he said. …

Ocean County is picking up much of the township's debris removal expenses, but officials still see $53 million in estimated Hurricane Sandy costs.
Township Council approved on Tuesday, Dec. 4, a reduction in its authorized emergency spending for Hurricane Sandy since Ocean County is assuming most of the costs associated with debris removal. The Township Council voted 7-0 to reduce its emergency authorization to $7.5 million from $18 million, a cut of $10.5 million, in what Brick's municipal government could borrow to cover costs associated with Hurricane Sandy. Township officials said the overall costs for Sandy, which devastated much of the Jersey Shore in late October, could reach $53 million for Brick's municipal government alone. Ocean County retained Ashbritt Inc. to handle post-Hurricane Sandy cleanup efforts and the Township Council voted 7-0 to enter a shared services …

A shared services agreement for debris removal with Ocean County will enable Brick to cut previously approved emergency spending for Hurricane Sandy by $10.5 million.
Township Council will vote whether to cut its emergency spending associated with Hurricane Sandy by $10.5 million at Tuesday night's meeting in Town Hall. The reduction to $7.5 million from the previously approved $18 million is due to a shared services agreement with Ocean County, which has a contract with Ashbritt Inc. to handle debris clean-up efforts, according to the Township Council's resolutions that will be up for a vote at the 7 p.m. meeting. The township is planning to issue debt up to $7.5 million to cover the emergency spending, the resolution said. Debris removal costs for municipalities and states are typically reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency after disasters.

Stand Up Guy, you're the one getting it twisted. He didn't bring Sammy to the animal hospital out of the kindness of his heart. He turned him in to authorities in a GARBAGE BAG, saying he and Shauna FOUND HIM on the side of the road. Face it, they probably panicked because they knew Sammy was near death and they lived in an apartment and probably had no freaking clue what to do with the body. So … more ›
