Atlantic Mayor Dave Jones is set to make an announcement during the Wednesday evening meeting of the Atlantic City Council. The announcement is with regard to how public forum is conducted and how the policy is managed through the City’s Committee system. It comes on the heels of a meeting held May 16^th, during which a couple of business owners got into a verbal altercation with the Mayor and Councilperson Kathy Somers, with regard to new business incentives and the use of grant funds. During the meeting, Atlantic Police Chief Dave Ericksen warned he would escort the individuals out of City Hall if they did not act with decorum.

In other business, the Atlantic City Council will act on orders to re-appoint: Nancy Frederiksen to the Community Promotion Commission; Janet Nielsen, Vicki Brown and Mark Johnson, to the Library Board. They will also act on an order to close 17^th Street (from Lomas Circle) to Roosevelt Drive, this Saturday, (June 9^th) for a neigHborhood block party.

Other action items include passing a Resolution “Resetting wages for seasonal and part-time Parks and Recreation, Pool, Airport and Wastewater Employees.” City Administrator John Lund says “A number of part-time, seasonal and stipend positions have apparently required adjustment beyond [The City’s] compensation resolution when [the] budget was approved.” He added that he was “Not pleased the Department heads did not give due attention to the importance of strategic planning done during the budget season and did not double check figures [with him].” Regardless, the budgetary effects, he said, “Are miniscule.”

The Council will also act on a Resolution “Authorizing bids for Olive Street Bridge repairs,” for which the City has bonded $150,000. Passage of the Resolution is required by the State where public works projects are concerned.

And, John Lund, who also serves as the Zoning Administrator, will make a presentation with regard to a Planning and Zoning Review of Accessory Structures and the Zoning Ordinance. The Atlantic City Council meeting begins 5:30-p.m. Wednesday, in their Chambers at City Hall.
