Norwalk City Council unanimously approves a 2 million dollar balanced budget with no property tax, marking the 10th straight year of balance. The plan eliminates a 7600 dollar Chamber of Commerce grant, replacing it with a 10000 dollar donation contingent on the chamber raising equal funds before spending. The 295 member group urged members to focus on new recruitment from over 4000 local firms. The budget adds a 115000 unallocated reserve and notes nearly 2 million in city reserves built over a decade.

Breakwater plan rejected by bureau favors floats at Belmont Pier
The Bureau of Franchises rejected a Breakwater proposal to shield Belmont Pier with an 800 foot L shaped barrier at a cost of about 660000. Instead two lightweight fiberglass floats will be installed inside the pier extension at an estimated 104400. The plan cites navigation hazards and beach erosion as reasons against the breakwater. City engineers will revise the current landing and review remedial work pending the new facility.
