AI Summary

The city and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) will enter into an agreement to jointly collect the surcharge and any parking fee charged by the DCR. The city will establish a Plum Island Resource Fund to deposit the surcharge proceeds, which can be used to restore and protect dunes, shorelines, beaches, infrastructure, and property on Plum Island, as well as for regional or intermunicipal efforts for such purposes.
