The following is Ocean City Mayor Jay Gillian’s weekly update to citizens posted on Friday, July 31.
Dear Friends:
I am pleased to recognize one of our city team members this week. Lisa Rumer is a recreation supervisor who also serves as coach for the Special Olympics triathlon team. A distinguished triathlete herself, Lisa has committed herself to training four very special athletes. Their hard work has resulted in positive results at the Special Olympics World Games held in Los Angeles this week – one gold medal, one silver and one bronze! Lisa is assisted in her coaching duties by Ocean City primary school teacher Carrie Merritt. We all should be very proud of the hard work, dedication and commitment these young athletes have displayed, and thank Lisa and Carrie for their selfless spirit of volunteerism and desire to help others.
A reminder that we will be holding a neighborhood meeting on Tuesday, August 4 at 7:00 PM with representatives from Michael Baker International to discuss road and drainage improvements for the area of 26th Street to 34th Street, West to Bay Avenue. The meeting will be held at the Howard S. Stainton Senior Center located at the Community Center, 1735 Simpson Avenue. The representatives from Michael Baker International will make a presentation on their findings and recommendations for this area.
On the south end beach replenishment project the dredge “Liberty Island” is now not expected to return until August 6th at which time operations are projected to resume immediately.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Warm regards,
Jay A. Gillian
Mayor
