ACCIDENT COUNTER REPORT:
Police Chief Ault reported that there has been a change in State
Statutes regarding accident reporting. The Statutes no longer require
an officer to investigate every accident - only those accidents where
there is personal injury or property damage over $500.00. Minor
traffic accidents are to be reported to the Police Department by
those parties involved in the accident. Upto this date, the Estes
Park Police Department has been covering all accidents and Chief
Ault asked the Committee if they would like to change the policy
to comply with State Statutes and have minor traffic accidents
reported to the Police Department. The Committee recommends the
Police Department follow State Statutes regarding accident reporting
and that all minior traffic accidents with property damage under
$500.00 be reported to the Police Department between the hours of
8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday by those parties
involved in the accident.
PARKING ENFORCEMENT
Police Chief Ault reported on the summer parking enforcement procedure
and asked the Committee if they had any recommendations regarding
this procedure. The Committee feels that the Police Department's
enforcement is adequate but recommends that the Parking Control
Officer be hired to work from Memorial Day through August 20th.
1983 BUDGET:
The Committee reviewed the 1983 Public Safety Budget.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
