This project aims to revitalize a central community resource, promoting recreational and economic activities in Seaside Park. Alongside this, a $50,000 ordinance was passed to acquire a new vehicle for the police department.

In a detailed update on the boardwalk’s progress, it was reported that the project is nearly halfway complete and slightly ahead of schedule, with an expected completion date in early 2026.

The council also approved several resolutions, including budget transfers, salary increases for zoning officers, and the sale of surplus property through an online auction. These measures demonstrate the council’s ongoing efforts to manage municipal finances and resources efficiently.

The meeting also provided an update on the road improvements funded by a $235,663 grant for Sea Street and X Street. However, given the reduced grant amount compared to previous years, the council may need to adjust the project’s scope, potentially focusing on only one street.

The police department’s report highlighted a decrease in overtime hours, attributed to proactive measures by the current leadership. The chief’s decision to work weekends in a patrol car has resulted in a notable reduction in overtime, earning commendations from the council.

In community news, the council announced the early start of online badge sales for the next season and detailed upcoming holiday events, including the annual holiday market and tree lighting ceremony. These events aim to foster community spirit and engagement as the holiday season approaches.
