Long Beach meetings: Police boat grant, paving updates, and park projects on recent agendas
Recent Long Beach board and committee agendas covered public works projects, park maintenance, and police equipment purchases — though minutes have not yet been published for any of the three meetings, so outcomes and any votes cannot be confirmed from available records.
Police Commission & Police Advisory Board — July 2
The Police Commission agenda listed several equipment and grant items. The largest was a FEMA Port Security grant of $227,281.20 for a new police boat, which the agenda noted was awaiting fund release. A separate grant request of $248,000 for three electric police vehicles was listed as denied.
Other agenda items included:
- Purchase of a 2026 Yamaha 750cc ATV using a $4,000 donation.
- Annual cost of $12,000 for four FLOCK license plate reader cameras.
- A pending $65,000 grant request for portable radio upgrades.
- Discussion of the license plate reader system's utility.
- Planning for a vehicle replacement in late 2026.
Because minutes are not yet published, it is not known which items were formally approved, tabled, or merely discussed.
Public Works & Safety Committee — June 22
The committee agenda included updates on the Lake Shore Drive paving project, with a reference to CCMG, and progress on the salt barn construction. A new F550 snowplow truck delivery was also listed for update.
New business on the agenda included discussion of potential paving on Marsh Court, stormwater concerns from heavy rains, and public works employee positions. The Water Department portion covered fire hydrant painting, valve replacement, installation of sampling stations, and backflow testing.
The agenda also listed a new street sweeper purchase and the sale of the 1995 sweeper. No dollar amounts were provided in the available agenda summary.

What this means for residents
The police items involve the largest dollar figures on the recent agendas, including a pending federal grant worth more than $227,000 for a patrol boat and a denied grant of $248,000 for electric vehicles. The public works agenda touches on road paving and snow removal equipment that directly affect daily services. Park board items relate to beach access and recreational facilities residents use throughout summer.
All three meetings are listed as agenda-only, meaning minutes have not yet been published. Readers should check the town's official meeting records for confirmed votes and outcomes.
