- Meeting Overview:
During the recent Belmar Borough Council meeting, discussions centered on potential changes to the borough’s emergency medical services (EMS) and a variety of upcoming community events. The council confirmed that while Monmouth County is expanding EMS services to nearby towns, Belmar has not been approached to join this agreement. Community members expressed concern over whether county services could match Belmar’s current EMS response times, especially given the unique demands of the summer tourist season.
The council emphasized their commitment to maintaining high-quality EMS services for residents. Discussions will continue to evaluate all options, including any potential county partnerships, to determine the best path forward for public safety.
In addition to EMS services, the council highlighted several community events. The newly installed weatherproof piano at Piano Plaza was celebrated with a mini-concert, drawing attention to this new cultural addition dedicated to David Sanchez. The borough is also preparing for the holiday season with events such as the tree lighting, a trolley light tour, and various holiday concerts. Local clubs and businesses are organizing events to support scholarships and community needs, including toy drives and Thanksgiving dinners for those in need.
Concerns about local infrastructure were also raised, specifically the need for curb improvements at Fourth and C. The council assured residents that these issues would be addressed in conjunction with upcoming road projects.
