He, and others on the council, lauded Simone’s work ethic and professionalism; they wished him the best at his new county job, where he will be salaried at $127,500. 

Rosenello said that the county has pursued Simone for over a year now and that the city will miss him.  

“It’s a good thing for the City of North Wildwood that our administrator was recognized by the county,” Rosenello said.
