$77 million Budget for Ocean City Approved

The Ocean City Town Council gave it blessing to a $77 million budget for the 2014 fiscal year. 

And, it puts the property tax raet at 47.2 cents per $100 of assessed property value to maintain the same revenue as last year.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the budget includes a controversial provision for paid parking on some street where once it had been free.

This will bring in around $152-thousand in new revenue.

In addition, the spending plan resources funding to the Ocean Bowl Skate Park that had been targeted for around $20-thousand in payroll cuts.
