Municipal news:

• A 1500 foot restriction between usage of liquor licenses was adopted in 1978
• Six plenary liquor licenses were approved for 2007-2008
• A restaurant owner wants to use his liquor license but the planned location is less than 1500 feet from another restaurant with a liquor license. Changing the footage restriction would require rescinding the present ordinance and replacing it with a new ordinance
• Supporters of the transfer of the liquor license are the Planning Board, the Business Community and the Ordinance Committee
• A local restaurant has filed a suit against the borough’s anticipation of changing the footage restriction.
• ‘Save Barnegat Bay’ shared proceeds of their road race with the PBA, Fire and First Aid
• The Borough was fined $67,500 by the NJDEP for creating dune openings through three oceanfront pavilions instead of where they were pre-storm.
• Special parking permits for residents without driveways are being discussed. A parking committee is proposed by the governing body. There are approximately 119 properties/lots that are undersized (less than 50’ x 100’) Of these, about 42 do not have driveways. This creates a hardship for some residents seeking on-street parking.

• Five resident students are registered for Kindergarten and five tuition students.
• The school is actively seeking tuition students at a cost of about $3,400 yearly
• A report of approximately 600 pages was required to be submitted to the state by schools to provide data to the state Department of Education.
