The beach fees were supposed to go directly to the improvement of Oakland Beach. It would improve our beach and attract new visitors who might become new homeowners reducing the tax burden on the rest of us. The bill was unanimously approved by the Warwick City Council, including President Joe Solomon. The reason that Mayor Avedisian's budget didn't "project revenues or expenditures related to the fee program", is because there aren't any additional expenditures or revenue.
To put this idea on hold until Mayor Solomon gets "a better grasp of any casual factors related to the litter that's being generated and address the problem in a fiscally-responsible, effective, and multi-faceted way" (those were his exact words) sounds wrong to me. He voted on it! He said "Yes" in December 2017. Now he's saying "No"??I don't understand it. I don't understand that AT ALL. It sounds like the words of a used car dealer. What "definitive budget information" does Mayor Solomon need for an item that doesn't effect the budget?
Happy Spring everyone.
