Also Attending: Town Administrator Hill, Chief of Police Ault
Absent: Trustee Sutter
LOADING ZONE —PARKING LOT #2:
Owners of the Surrey La Casa Del Estorito requested that the northeast
parking space in Parking Lot #2 be reserved for deliveries. As an
alternative, the Committee recommends delivery trucks be allowed to
use the two easterly parking spaces of the middle section of Parking
Lot #2.
TEXACO STATION - REMOVAL OF PARKING SPACE:
Al Avery requested that the parking space just east of his Texaco
station on the north side of Elkhorn Avenue be removed so that his
transport truck will have better access into the station for gasoline
delivery. Because of the need for parking, the Committee recommends
denial.
BLOOD ALCOHOL TESTS:
Chief Ault explained the current procedure for blood alcohol tests
which involves taking prisoners to the hospital and having a qualified
staff person draw the blood. Often obtaining the qualified person
causes long delays and if the person resigns from the hospital, then
a case witness is lost. As a solution, Chief Ault suggested that Mrs.
Goracke and Mrs. Spoerlein, two registered nurses, be contacted to
draw blood for these tests. Either nurse could be contacted anytime
of the day or night and would come down to the Police Department to
obtain the blood sample. The fee would be $10/sample which is $2
higher than the hospital fee. The Committee recommends the Police
Department be authorized to call Mrs. Goracke and Mrs. Spoerlein for
these tests.
DOG CONTROL ORDINANCE:
The Committee discussed revising the Dog Control Ordinance and tabled
the matter until the next meeting for further study.
REPORTS:
TOW AWAY ZONES/WRECKER SERVICE - All except one of the wrecker
services agreed not to charge when a vehicle is removed prior to
the wrecker's arrival. Chief Ault said he would try to obtain a
unanimous agreement.
