Those who sponsored benches along the Ocean City boardwalk may be facing an additional cost.
The Public Works Department says that seven to ten years into the program some of the benches are in need of repair.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports on one bench that was purchased by Brian King eight years ago at a cost of $25-hundred.
But now he is faced with repairing or removing it…and could face fee of as much as a $1-thousand to restore or replace the bench depending on cost.
In letters sent out by the resort it said that this was needed in order to sustain the overall program and preserve the bench’s appearance.
Officials hope that the letters will provide enough time for the sponsors of the benches.
