Recuperating, Henfey Stays in Daily Contact with City Officials

 

By Al Campbell

NORTH WILDWOOD – Mayor William “Bill” Henfey is recuperating from brain surgery, feeling well, and is in daily contact with North Wildwood municipal officials.
In an Oct. 3 telephone interview with the Herald, Henfey said, “I am talking to the city council president, city clerk, CFO (chief financial officer) police chief and fire chief on a daily basis. We are talking about next year’s budget and learned that our parking meter revenue is over $800,000, while we anticipated only $700,000.” That excess will be transferred into the fund balance to trim the next budget.
“I am with it,” he quipped.
Henfey noted that the city’s assessments have increased, which he found admirable in the present slow economy.
On Sept. 24, a city release informed the media of Henfey’s hospitalization.
Henfey said after a brain scan, his physician advised him to immediately go to Cape Regional Medical Center where a helicopter was waiting to fly him to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center. A surgeon from Thomas Jefferson University Hospital performed the operation at that location. He is undergoing therapy at Bacharach Institute for Rehabilitation.
“A lot of bad things could have happened,” said the mayor. Among them were perils that might have occurred during and after surgery.
Henfey noted his speech, thinking and coordination “are all fine.” A slight loss of peripheral vision in one eye was the only side effect he experienced; he expects that to be fully restored in time.
Earlier this year, Henfey announced his departure from office at the end of his present term, which ends Dec. 31.
