AVALON – In separate borough council meetings, neighboring municipalities Avalon and Stone Harbor saw their governing bodies support a plan to allow credit and debit card purchases of beach tags at borough halls and beach tag offices.
Cash will still be necessary for on-the-beach purchases from beach tag checkers.
A drawback to moving to credit and debit card purchases previously was the unwillingness of either borough to pay the cost of fees attached to such purchases. The new arrangement will pass fees onto the consumer who wishes to use a credit or debit card for the transaction.
Stone Harbor Council approved credit card acceptance for payments March 21. The next day, Avalon Borough Council discussed the matter in a work session and indicated a vote to approve could come at the next meeting.
