“Suso discovered a “significant amount” of Beach Committee “courtesy cards” have been issued each year, allowing free parking at Falmouth’s four beaches, according to a statement released by his office on Monday. An annual sticker for a resident costs $30 and $200 for a nonresident, and a daily pass costs between $10 and $20 depending on the beach.”
“The practice is a violation of town policy prohibiting municipal employees from using their official position to give an unwarranted privilege of “substantial value” to themselves or others, Suso wrote in the statement.
“Parking at Town of Falmouth beaches is a valuable privilege and such free parking may be an unwarranted privilege,” Suso wrote.”
