Beach Haven will be looking at possible changes in boat ramp operations following a report where revenue and expenses nearly equaled each other.

Parts of a report prepared by Chief Finance Officer Sharon Boehler were announced at the Oct. 13 borough council meeting. Pickleball court revenue totaled $24,080, while expenses were $11,038, leaving a net gain of $13,042. The tennis courts realized $11,720, and after $7,411 in expenses, had a net gain of $4,309.

But the boat ramp revenue of $13,510 was only $33 higher when offset by expenses.

“We pretty much broke even,” said Borough Manager Sherry Mason. Boat ramp fees are $20 a day, $100 for the season and $250 for a commercial vessel.

She said the ramp is staffed by two part-time employees.

“We’re going to look at our options, maybe talk to the boaters,” said Mason.

Three ordinances adopted by the council will look to streamline municipal court operations during the summer months. According to the ordinances, offenses such as curfew violations, possessing an open container of an alcoholic beverage and illegally parking in a spot reserved for charging electric vehicles can be resolved by paying a fine ahead of time rather than being required to appear in court.

The current court appearance requirement resulted in 40 summonses for open container of alcohol violations being adjourned so that the curfew violations could be adjudicated in time for the teens to go back to school.

The council adopted a $2.24 million capital improvements bond ordinance for projects to undertake in 2027. The largest amount is $550,000 for road improvements including reconstruction to streets in the area of Pearl Street and Stratford Avenue. Mason said the borough will be reimbursed $269,329 from the state Department of Transportation.

The ordinance includes $250,000 each for a beach tractor for the department of public works and HVAC upgrades in the municipal building. Other major expenses include $200,000 for bulkhead replacement at Pearl Street, $200,000 for acquisition and installation of equipment at the emergency operations center, $150,000 for acquisition of police vehicles, $100,000 for court resurfacing at various parks and $100,000 for improvements along Delaware Avenue.

The borough also swore in Curt J. Bonin and Connor J. Darmstatter as new patrol officers for the police department.
