Council directs Easton's Beach parking surplus into restricted reserve for beach upkeep
Summary
Council adopted a resolution to place any Easton's Beach parking revenue above the annual budget line into a restricted reserve account dedicated to future beach facilities, grounds and maintenance; councilors amended language and thanked staff who contributed to the proposal.
Councilor Napolitano introduced and council adopted a resolution directing any Easton's Beach parking revenue above the annual budgeted line item into a restricted financial reserve to support future beach facilities, grounds and maintenance activities.
The proposal cited rising parking revenues at Easton's Beach since 2020 and an ordinance that allowed higher daily parking fees; the text was amended on the floor to clarify that the reserve would receive "each dollar more than the annual budget line item" rather than a fixed per-transaction amount. Council discussed impacts and thanked Beach staff for their work in increasing revenue and improving amenities.
Council approved the amended resolution by voice vote; no additional appropriation was taken at the time of the resolution's adoption.
