Cape May Council Schedules Monday Meeting on Cove Beach Replenishment

 

By Jack Fichter

CAPE MAY — A special meeting of Cape May City Council is scheduled for Mon., Nov. 22, at 10 a.m.
The topic of this meeting will be negotiations with the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regarding the Lower Cape May Beach replenishment and the city’s Cove Beach.
Council voted 3-2 Monday not to approve a state aid agreement with the DEP for beach renourishment from the Third Avenue Jetty through the Lower Cape Meadows to Cape May Point.
Council’s decision could halt beach replenishment to Cove Beach this winter.
At issue, the city could be signing away rights to keep the beach open to bathers if piping plovers nest at that location.
The city received an e-mail from DEP regarding language in the agreement from the city that protected Cove Beach from closure.
Action may or may not be taken at Monday’s meeting which will be held in City Hall Auditorium,
643 Washington St.
