Beach Haven, Harvey Cedars violations now handled at either location

Individuals who need to tend to business at the Beach Haven or Harvey Cedars violations bureau may now go to either town office to handle matters. On Tuesdays and Fridays, Court Administrator Jessica Jenkins will be available at the Beach Haven Emergency Operations Center at 420 Pelham Ave., from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and at Harvey Cedars Borough Hall at 7606 Long Beach Blvd., from 2 to 4 p.m. She will remain at the Beach Haven office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Allowing violations to be paid at either bureau
makes it more convenient for customers.

“Harvey Cedars and Beach Haven customers can come to either town, depending on where I am, and take care of almost anything,” Jenkins said. “I can take care of both courts, no matter where I physically am.”

Jenkins began working at Beach Haven’s violations bureau last year. She is also replacing Barbara Courts, who recently retired as Harvey Cedars’ part-time court administrator after more than 20 years at the job.

Jenkins was hired for the shared services agreement between the two towns in July. She became familiar with Harvey Cedars’ court system after Superstorm Sandy, when Beach Haven’s borough hall was severely damaged and temporarily relocated to Harvey Cedars.

Due to off-season hours, Beach Haven court sessions will now take place the first Monday of every month, at 10 a.m. The remaining court dates for 2014 are Oct. 6, Nov. 3 and Dec. 1. The parking lot, which was closed to vehicular traffic through the summer because of bulkheading work, is now open.

Harvey Cedars court sessions have not yet been finalized but will most likely be held the second Monday of each month, Jenkins said.
