The Beach Haven Borough Council adopted Ordinance 2024‑43c on final reading at its Dec. 9 meeting, changing the borough code to require that property owners purchase new or replacement water meters from the borough and setting out the process for purchasing.
Meeting staff reported cash receipts and disbursements for November before introducing the ordinance for final reading. Council opened the floor to public comment; no members of the public on Zoom spoke on the ordinance. A motion to approve Ordinance 2024‑43c was made and seconded; roll‑call votes were recorded in the affirmative by Missus Paul Miller, Miss Lambert, Mister McCaffrey, Miss Snyder and Mayor Davis, and the ordinance was adopted on final reading.
Council members did not request substantial amendments during the public discussion.
