Five City Council members who are critics of Mayor Marty Small Sr.’s administration did not show up for a special meeting Wednesday night to renew the city’s property insurance before the deadline of Dec. 15. According to the Press of Atlantic City, the administration is now awaiting word from the state Department of Community Affairs about whether it will pass the coverage renewals and protect taxpayers for 2024. The state has ultimate authority under its 2016 takeover of the city.
