An ordinance to increase fees at the borough dog park was held and not introduced at the Oct. 11 monthly Barnegat Light Borough Council meeting. The proposal would have raised the annual fee for dog park passes for out-of-town residents to $100.

Paw Passes are free to Barnegat Light residents, and they were $30 in 2023 to out-of-town residents, and $15 for weekly visitors. They’re obtained at Borough Hall, plus at the beach badge booth in summer.
