During the meeting, community residents praised the move, with one homeowner saying she"totally" supported it.
Other residents who addressed council supported the measure, with some calling for the legislation to be extended island-wide, instead of solely focused on beaches, boardwalks and recreational areas. "Anything that we can do to stop this nonsense is anything good. We should have done this a long time ago," he said.During the recent meeting of City Council, Leonard C. Desiderio, mayor of Sea Isle City and director of the Cape May County Board of Commissioners called the ordinance a"great first step."
Calling it a"juvenile problem," Desiderio told city officials that this impacts so many beachfront communities, that -- while he didn't detail a solution -- he told council that he's currently working with state legislators in order to put together a plan to address it.
