Beach Haven Borough Expands Emergency Re-Entry Access for Condominium Owners
- Meeting Overview:
At the most recent Beach Haven Borough Council meeting, the council announced a revision to the emergency re-entry placard policy for condominium owners, allowing individual unit owners to receive placards after a storm. This change addresses previous concerns where only association presidents or property managers could access these placards, limiting individual owners’ ability to return to their units promptly after an evacuation. This policy update aims to improve safety and accountability during post-storm operations while ensuring that residents can return to their homes more efficiently.
The meeting also saw the approval of various resolutions, including a new three-year contract with the Teamsters Local 35. This contract outlines a structured pay increase over three years, with the first year seeing a 4.5% raise, followed by 4% increases in the subsequent years. The total cost to the borough for this agreement is projected at $56,333. Furthermore, the council approved Beach Haven’s Emergency Operations Plan for two years.
In light of the holiday season, council members encouraged residents to support local businesses by shopping locally. There were acknowledgments of community efforts during recent events, such as the “Celebrate the Season” festivities, which included horse and buggy rides generously donated by local businesses. The council highlighted the importance of these community events in fostering local spirit and engagement. Residents were urged to continue supporting local enterprises, especially during the holiday shopping period.
