Galveston City Council

Galveston City Council will consider a resolution expressing the city council's "intent to submit to the qualified voters of the City of Galveston a proposed beach user fee and method of collecting such fee for the area known as the Seawall Beach Urban Park, in accordance with state law."

The issue was put on the agenda at the request of council members Joe Jaworski and Dianna Puccetti, with the support of Lyda Ann Thomas.  

Meanwhile, the Park Board of Trustees has been issuing free parking passes in preparation for initiating a paid parking system on the Seawall.  

The city has prepared a PowerPoint presentation to explain the process.  Visit www.guidrynews.com/04January/00604BeachParkingPasses.ppt.
