THE RBA has taken the following action on behalf of the tax payers of the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach NJ

On January 9th, 2001 member of the RBA attended a presentation and question answer session held by John Walsh of Bay Pointe Engineering.  The focus of the meeting was the drainage plan for our community. Mr. Walsh maintained an open willingness to address specific issues of concern and incorporate other ideas in developing a final plan to attend to our drainage needs.  We thank Mr. Walsh, Mayor Passola and Council for responding to the RBA's request for answers regarding the Baltimore Ave. Drainage project.

The RBA Executive Committee will continue to review Engineering Bills, Grants and applications for past years as well as 2001.
