Atlantic City Council approves trail grant and hears proposed pay raise

News

August 20th, 2015 by admin

The Atlantic City Council met Wednesday evening in the Council Chambers at City Hall.

As expected the council approved a resolution “Endorsing the use of Regional TAP (Transportation Alternatives Program grant) Funds for the Schildberg Recreation Area Lake #2 Biking Trail.” The resolution acknowledges the City endorses the trail project, and that with the assistance of the TAP funds, the construction of the multi-use trail will be completed and remain dedicated to public use, and adequately maintained by the City of Atlantic Parks and Recreation Department.

Also the Personnel and Finance Committee reported on a proposed pay raise for the Mayor and Atlantic City Council. The proposal recommends the Mayor’s pay to increase from $8,000 to $10,000 per year. The proposal also includes an increase from $30 to $40 per meeting for City Council members.  That amount would also include committee meetings, which Council members currently receive $20  per meeting for.

Three readings of an ordinance would be required before an official pay increase decision could be made.  The first of those readings is expected soon.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Yadier Molina’s 100th career home run in the bottom of the eighth inning snapped a tie and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3 on Wednesday night.

Molina added an RBI single in the first and rookie Stephen Piscotty homered in the third for St. Louis, which took two of three from the NL West-contending Giants. The Cardinals are 77-43 overall and 46-19 at home, both tops in the majors.

Kevin Siegrist (5-0) allowed a walk in the eighth and Trevor Rosenthal earned his 38th save in 40 chances, striking out pinch-hitting pitcher Madison Bumgarner to end it. Siegrist won both of the games in the series and the Cardinals wrapped up a 6-3 homestand with three 2-1 series wins and have won six consecutive series overall.

Molina lined an 0-1 breaking ball from Hunter Strickland (2-3) into the left field stands for his fourth homer of the year.
