The Point Is. .


From Commissioner Nietubicz                                                        

Offers some insight to what’s going on at The Point


My Operation

Francine and I would like to thank everyone for his or her kindness and generosity over the past month.  My surgery went well, easier than first expected.  Recovery started with some initial problems, problems like pneumonia and small atrial fibrillation.  Since then mending has been accelerating.    I can walk two blocks, only take two naps a day and I am bored.  All good signs.

Date Changes

April meeting dates have been changed for:

Work session           is now Tuesday. April 15th at 10 am at Borough Hall and

Borough Meeting will be April 17th at 7 pm. At the Fire Hall - - these changes were advertised in today's Star and Wave.

Please note that Mr. Crowley, the County Superintendent of Schools is scheduled to be at the April 17th meeting to say a few words about the school tax and the 2008 budget will also be presented at this meeting

 

Note:  the state of New Jersey uses an “Equalization Table” to determine what a communities’ “fair share” is in the school tax pot.  This table is based on property assessments. 

As we are being re-evaluated this year and it promises to double our assessments, we will be twice as rich at end of the year, in “Table Equalization” terms.  It doesn’t account for the fact that most of the people who have made money on their property have moved out.

Candidates Forum

The Cape May Point Taxpayers' Association is sponsoring a Candidates' Forum relating to the May Borough Election.

The Forum will be held in the Cape May Point Fire Hall on April 19th at 7 P.M. The League of Women Voters of Cape May County will provide a Moderator.

The general format will provide for a three minute opening statement by each candidate, followed by previously submitted questions (on a rotated basis). We expect that each response should be one minute, allowing for a 30 second rebuttal by the other candidates. Within the time constraints provided, questions will be accepted from the floor following the same format. The forum will end with each candidate's one minute closing remarks.

The forum will be followed with coffee and refreshments giving ample opportunity for those present to informally meet the candidates for office.

Beach Tag Sales

    Tag prices will remain the same for the third year in a row.  Pre-season sales will start on May 1st.  The tag office will be open from nine to noon Tuesday through Sunday.  Seasonal tags are $18 each through May and $20 starting June 1st.  As always, if you can’t make it here in May, you can get the pre-season price ($18) by mailing a check for the entire amount ($18 each) to Box 490, Cape May Point, NJ 08212, ATTN: Tags – make the check out to the Borough of Cape May Point and include your name and Cape May Point address.
