A resolution was approved to accept a NJ state grant for the COPS IN SHOPS summer shore initiative in the amount of $1,920.00.  Police Chief Christopher advised that this was a little less than last year.  This is a program to address underage drinking in establishments that serve alcohol.  Chief Christopher explained that operations under this program are at the request of the owners of these establishments.
