Belvedere will allocate $1.03 million from an unexpected budget surplus to shore up Beach Road’s crumbling seawall and fund police facility upgrades, storm-drain assessments and a shoreline cleanup.
The City Council voted unanimously Jan. 12 to allocate the funds, with $830,000 going to the seawall and $200,000 split among the other projects, on the recommendation of the city’s Finance Committee.
The allocation follows fiscal 2024-2025, which ended June 30, 2025, when revenues exceeded projections by $1.76 million — a windfall that created $1.38 million in excess reserves after meeting the city’s reserve requirements. The remaining $350,000 stays in the general fund as a financial buffer.
