A decade’s worth of planning and construction for the Grove Park Canal Dock in Rehoboth Beach was completed in January. Now, city commissioners have begun the process of creating rules for how the new amenity will operate.
During a commissioner workshop Feb. 8, City Manager Sharon Lynn said rules and regulations need to be created. Hours of operation and safety concerns need to be addressed, she said.
City Arborist Liz Lingo, who oversees management of the city’s parks, presented commissioners with a draft of the rules. The city thinks this does a pretty good job of laying things out for the dock, she said.

Last summer, at the request of downtown businesses struggling to attract customers during the week, the city instituted Meterless Monday from 4 to 10 p.m. for the final eight weeks of the parking meter season. In a previous meeting, City Manager Sharon Lynn said the city lost an estimated $60,000 in parking meter revenue, or $7,500 per day, from the program last year.
Giles starts Feb. 1 and will be supervised by Banks. City Manager Sharon Lynn delegated the job to Banks when the pandemic began. It was the first time a Rehoboth Beach Patrol captain had been supervised by anyone other than the city manager in Rehoboth.
Kent Buckson, Rehoboth s beach patrol captain of 21 years, resigned Dec. 18 due to the change. He said it wasn t a good fit and claimed it was a violation of the city charter. He filed an appeal with the city commissioners, but they declined to hear his complaint.
