Nor does it change the policy offering free daily badges to any veteran of the U.S. armed forces.<\/p>\n<p>The ordinance is subject to a public hearing and second vote before adoption. The hearing and vote are scheduled for the Dec. 29 council meeting, which will be held at 10 a.m. at the township&#8217;s municipal complex.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/2023\/12\/brick-council-introduces-reduced-daily-senior-parking-fees-at-beaches-eliminates-seasonal-discount\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Brick Township council on Tuesday night introduced an ordinance that would lower the cost of a daily parking pass at the township&#8217;s two ocean beach parking lots while eliminating discounts for seasonal parking passes.
