A Beach Haven resident is looking to use a provision in the borough’s form of government to overhaul what he says is an ineffective parking ordinance. John Harvey said thelocal government is organized under the Faulkner Act (the council/manager option), which went into effect in 2010. He said thismethod of organizing placescomplete responsibility for municipal affairs on the council, and a borough managerwho is the chief executive with broad authority.

“For a seasonal town like Beach Haven this approach seems reasonable,” he said.
