Margate Commissioners and the City attorney deserve a medal for patience. At the very least, they deserve an extra scoop of their favorite flavor.
The beach ice cream man wants to double dip his deal with Margate? Seems that way. Nonetheless, city leadership kept their cool and disagreed with the vendor at a recent commissioners meeting.
Paul Van DeRijn of Jack and Jill Ice Cream wants financial relief. He had a tough 2017 summer season caused by ill-timed beach work.

The State inflicted, dune and beach project affected many Downbeach businesses.
Landlords, restaurants and retail stores all felt the pain last summer. And yes, even the man who sells ice cream took a haircut.
Other business operators sucked it up, but Van DeRijn held out his hand. He wants a special give back. This is on top of the excellent deal he snared for the 2018 beach season in Margate.
Wish we could go back to the same vendor we had years ago. Business is down with the current vendor on ice cream b/c his prices are higher, ice cream options are limited and items are smaller.
This guys got a lot of balls! Screw him
