City of Rehoboth Beach Turns Town Teal for Ovarian Cancer Awareness
In honor of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, volunteers placed teal ribbons around the city to raise awareness for ovarian cancer. This initiative encourages women to know the signs and symptoms of the disease for better outcomes. At the August 21 Mayor & Commissioners Meeting, city officials proclaimed September as Ovarian Cancer Awareness month to honor those who are impacted by the illness and increase awareness around it.
Dover, Kohl, & Partners received integral feedback from residents and business owners throughout Charrette Week that will aid in their zoning code re-write process. Watch their end-of-week presentation and learn more at the link below.
As part of upcoming system changes, we will transition from the current 2.5% convenience fee model to a service fee starting August 1st. Under the new structure, service fees will be determined directly by Tyler Technologies based on the payment method used and will appear as a separate charge as follows:
Credit and debit card transactions (online and in-person): 3.75% of the transaction amount or $2.50 minimum
ACH/eCheck payments (online): $1.95 per transaction
Credit card chargebacks: $15.00 per occurrence
Checks paid in person: no charge
