REDINGTON BEACH â Town staff will no longer clean the beach here after several residents complained the raking machinery was intruding on their properties.
Commissioners appeared puzzled about the complaints but agreed to end the beach raking after legal staff said some of the homeowners were threatening to sue the town.
âAs far back as I can remember weâve been raking the beach,â said Mayor Dave Will after Town Attorney Robert Eschenfelder said that no formal action had ever been taken by the commission regarding beach raking.
He recommended the town end raking as the âbetter, safer legal course of action.â
