It was a dark and stormy night and your gal Rita was in the mood for food. Having no desire to travel more than a mile or so, I decided to sup 'in the 'hood' at the newest restaurant in Gloucester City!
Yes, Gentle Readers, Pat's Family Restaurant has re-opened. I spent considerable time looking at the entrance-way and restaurant walls before entering the actual dining area. The pictures are historical in nature and show a great deal of Gloucester City in its first Glory Days. I say 'first' because, with restaurants like Pat's, this town will surely make its come-back with haste.

By Mayor William James
As we move forward into the new year, 2012, this administration realizes the need for local government to refocus and aim towards becoming more self sufficient, through the identification of new opportunities to share services, by aggressively seeking new sources of revenue and by closely monitoring all cost saving opportunities for rates of success or failure.
With reductions in state aid the inevitable future, it remains our inherent responsibility to provide Gloucester City’s taxpayers with the best possible services within a reasonably presented budget and the daunting and intense work on this year’s budget began a few months ago.
Department heads have submitted budget requests and are individually meeting with the administration and finance committee. These submitted budgets are being examined line item by line item, keeping in mind the state mandated 2 percent cap and its’ implications on day to day operations throughout the city.

Mayor William James and City Council members expressed their appreciation to the City employees, department heads and volunteers, who all worked together for the good of the city, during last week’s Reorganization meeting.
The meeting was opened with an invocation by Deacon Frank Crosson of St. Mary’s Church.
“We appreciate the honor to open this meeting,” he said after stating that Monsignor Curran was in Ireland.
Crosson asked for blessings on the Council during the coming year, which he thought might be a very stressful year due mostly due to the present economy.
The mayor said the deacon is also a retired police officer, and works for the Attorney General’s office.
There were no new members to be sworn in this year and the meeting proceeded with resolutions and a list of appointments. No one in the sparse audience addressed council in the Open Forum portion.
Most of the appointments remained the same, such as: John B. Kearney as City Solicitor, Edward Vernick as City Engineer, Paul Dougherty as Prosecutor, Charles Wigginton as Public Defender and Environmental Resolutions, Inc. as City Planner.
Also appointed were: Brett Wiltsey, Dilworth Paxson, LLP, as Counsel to the Tax Office; Christine O’Hearn as Labor Secretary; T&M Associates & Consulting Engineers as Special Projects Engineers; RT Environmental Services, Inc. as Environmental Engineer; and Parker Mc-Cay, P.A. as Bond Counsel.
Jack Lipsett was appointed as City Administrator, and Bob Booth and William Labbree were appointed as directors of the Enterprise Zone Corporation for the City.
The Gloucester City News and the Courier-Post were designated as the official newspapers.
There were a total of 38 resolutions and appointments that were all approved by City Council.
Louisa Llewellyn was appointed as an Alternate #2 member on the Gloucester City Historic Commission, with a term expiring in December 2012. There is still one vacant seat on the Commission.
Members of the Planning Board include: Jack Murphy, Adrianne Parent, Nicholas Marchese, Elana King and Steve Martorano.
Joanne Gurick and Barbara Moody were named to the Library Board of Trustees.
The text of Mayor James’ 2012 address starts on the front page of this edition.
In it he said: “Gloucester City is not alone in these difficult economic times and your elected officials are not sitting back and feeling sorry for themselves or crying to the state for bailouts. Instead we are remaining positive.”

GLOUCESTER CITY'S FORT NASSAU is in need of repair- The playground at the Johnson Blvd Jogging Field was constructed in April 1999 using donations from the business community along with the hard work of over 100 volunteers.
