Belmont Shore Parking and Business Improvement Area Advisory Commission - Sep 17, 2026
The district pays CSI Patrol $275,000/year, but residents say they rarely see officers on foot. A new reporting tool is in the works, and the commission will decide in November whether to extend the six-month contract past December 31 or rely on the cameras instead.
City Council - Apr 21, 2026
Residents packed the chamber to describe chaotic late nights on Second Street and to blast the CSI private security contract. The council continued the $350,000-a-year contract to May 5 and heard a proposal for a new 'Belmont Shore Dining and Cultural Enjoyment District' with business fees funding dedicated enforcement.
