    This continues because the Mayor has allowed for special privilege. This is further proof that someone has colluded with MerriMakers to break the law for their financial benefit. Was this form of beach solicitation in the original bid specification as a benefit of winning that concession? Has anyone asked one or several police officers as to why this is being permitted? The corruption is really starting to show now but it has to be proven.

    So the best thing to do is copy the ordinance and take it with you to the beach. When Cruz Bay empoyees come around call the police department and site the beach soliciting law 18-2.7 p see what happens. Take a cell photo for documentation.

    Why we have the law. There are dozens of food vendors on Ocean Ave. Jimmy’s and all of them could hire kids each summer and solicit business on the beach. How can you stop them if the police don’t stop Cruz Bay?

    The posting of “swim at your own risk” signs by the beach to alert people that there is potential danger when there are no lifeguards on duty, is in conflict with the borough ordinance which prohibits swimming and bathing when no lifeguards are present. A fundraiser to offset expenses for the recent drowning victims is just a feel-good effort to divert attention from the lack of enforcement. Money fixes everything, including possible guilty consciences and potential liability. Sounds harsh? But true! Change the signs, start enforcing. Or change the ordinance so people are free to drown and they can be blamed for their own misfortune.

    What is to stop not only beach front businesses but Main Street businesses too. Then why stop there Wall Twp, Avon, Bradley etc. Ask a police officer or maybe we should call borough hall to complain.

    I was solicited 3 times in one day. Very annoying. Now imagine multiple
    Restaurants allowed this access.

    Obviously this activity would not be going on unless sanctioned by Borough Hall. How to stop it? Encourage people on the beach not to order food from these staff because soliciting is illegal. Hand out flyers with the ordinance printed on it. That would be illegal also, I think.

    Soliciting is a nuisance and prohibited by Belmar Ordinance ….Good …. But, delivery of food (w/beach badge) appears unregulated?

    Smartphone technology may be a game changer.

    Get a paddle sign saying “No Solicting”. You did pay for your beach privilege and maybe the kid did too but you shouldn’t be sujected to paid employees of any business peddling their wares on your beach time.
