Further matters included discussions on the implementation of parking meters and the proposed partnership with Surfline for the installation of surf cameras. The parking meter proposal, presented by a representative of Park Mobile, raised questions about the impact on local businesses and residents. The council debated the pros and cons of the system, considering the additional revenue stream against the potential negative effects on the community.

The partnership with Surfline would involve installing cameras at strategic locations to provide live feeds for beach situational awareness and to offer information to beachgoers through the borough’s website. While the service would be free initially, questions about coverage specifics led to the resolution being held for further clarification.

Several ordinances were introduced, including an increase in the number of licenses for alcoholic beverages, amendments to the municipal budget appropriations limit, and updates to tree removal, stormwater management, and solid waste regulations. In particular, the discussion on alcoholic beverage regulations highlighted a divide among council members regarding the timing and necessity of allowing businesses time to address concerns versus the need to prioritize public safety based on a history of issues.

Residents voiced their opinions on a variety of issues, from the economic impact of potential ordinances to concerns about beach erosion, noise levels at local establishments, and the protection of local wildlife during construction. There was also a push for the council to address the lack of regulations for boat slips.

In addition to these discussions, the council addressed the need to establish a four-way stop at Pennsylvania Avenue and Angleside Avenue, the amendment of the Taylor Avenue parking lot boundaries to enforce no overnight parking regulations, and the introduction of trash pickup for year-round operating businesses.

The council acknowledged the importance of public input, encouraging further communication via email and addressing the concerns raised by residents. They also paid respects to two recently deceased long-time residents and provided information about upcoming community events.
