Lavallette\u2019s beach badge revenue was over the $900,000 mark for the second year in a row, but a Labor Day weekend characterized by uncertain weather and rough surf prevented the borough from breaking a record set in 2015.<\/p>\n

Councilman Michael Stogdill said the borough ended the season having generated\u00a0$902,390 in badge revenue, just a hair below last year\u2019s $905,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenior badges, season badges, weeklies were all up, so in that sense it was a good summer,\u201d said Stogdill.<\/p>\n

Daily badge sales were down slightly, he said. For years, the borough could not break the $900,000 ceiling, officials said, but the last two seasons have seen a remarkable recovery from Superstorm Sandy, with beach attendance up above pre-storm levels.<\/p>\n

Stogdill also thanked beach staff, especially the lifeguards, at Tuesday night\u2019s borough council meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were a lot of incidents that really tested their skill and they literally saved lives,\u201d he said. \u201cThey do their job and they do it well.\u00a0We couldn\u2019t ask for a better staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll get this ramped up again for next summer and set a new record,\u201d Stogdill\u00a0added.<\/p>\n
