Mayor’s Comments
I would like to thank my family for supporting me today, I can think of no
other honor, than to serve the community that has provided me with so
much over the years. One goal I have is to give back to the community
that gave me so much. After a year of service on this committee, I have
yet to find a single issue that has fallen under a political umbrella. I plan to
serve under a “forced bi-partisanshipâ€, to do what is best for the common
good of Barnegat. Many decisions will no longer be based on what
political party is in power, but rather which decision is best for the town.
Welcome to a new year, welcome to a new administration and a new
methodology.
Deputy Mayor Lisella
Thank you to my family and friends for coming and supporting me today.
Over the past few years we have witnessed the stalemate occurring in
Washington as a result of bitter bi-partisan politics. The inability of our
representatives to work together is disheartening. Unfortunately the
problems of Washington impact all of us, and place all elected officials in a
bad light. At the local level we can not afford to allow petty politics to
stand in the way of progress. Today represents a new year in Barnegat, a
new year in which bi-partisanship and cooperation will be the foundation
for which good, strong and productive government will be built. I wish to
publicly thank Mayor McCabe for selecting me as her Deputy Mayor.
Committeeman Bille
Thank you to my family for supporting me today. Thank you to all that had
assisted with my campaign, and my wife for providing much moral
support. For any government to be successful there must be a
willingness to put aside political differences, so compromises can be
reached on important issues. Consensus building is the cornerstone to
good government. Politics will take a back seat to good decision making
that will greatly benefit the town. Many achievements will be realized in
2014. Congratulations to Susan and Marty for assuming leadership roles,
both of you will do outstanding job on behalf of Barnegat.

Committeeman Morano
Being on this committee for eighteen years has all been worth it. I see
Barnegat moving forward. As with this bi-partisan committee we want
good government and lower taxes for the residents. Thank you all for
coming out today.
Committeewoman Taylor
I wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year. One of my campaign
promises was transparency, committee meetings will now be televised
within the first half of the New Year. Last May our first annual senior fair
was a great success, and our second will be held this year at the high
school. I have also worked hard on an ordinance that will clean up areas
in Barnegat where we have rentals properties, and make the absentee
landlords more accountable to their tenants and to the town. I would like
to thank Mayor McCabe and Deputy Mayor Lisella on working together to
make this committee bi-partisan, and I feel the upcoming year will be truly
exciting on this committee.
Motion to Open Public Comment: A. Bille Second: L. Morano
Marianne Clemente – 565 E. Bay Avenue: I am happy to hear about bipartisanship
and transparency. Our hope is all five of you as a committee
working together. Please do your best to work for us, the people.
Dennis Tredy – Mayor of Waretown: I offer my congratulations to all of the
committee members. We have a tremendous shared services agreement
that work very well with our two towns. 2014 will be another great year.
