Beach councilors face Knuckles rapped over Milestone grant
OLD ORCHARD BEACH The town council funded a $500 asphalt and labor parking lot project for Milestone Foundation, citing it as the best in kind aid for a nonprofit. Knights of Columbus members pressed for similar aid, amid concerns of setting a precedent and calls to end such contributions. Councilors debated the precedent before denying the Knights a parking lot while approving streetlight installation, sludge disposal site permit, a land-use workshop, and a relocation plan for the fire department ice area, with a council meeting rescheduled to August 25.
