Public Safety Committee
February 19, 1975
Committee: Chairman Burgess; Trustees Petrocine and Sutter
Attending: Chairman Burgess; Trustee Sutter
Also Attending: Town Administrator Hill, Chief of Police Ault
Absent: Trustee Petrocine
1974 TRAFFIC CODE:
The Committee authorized Chief Ault to review the 1974 Uniform
Traffic Code, and if he feels there are enough significant changes
in the Code to warrant adoption, it will be sent to the Board of
Trustees for their consideration.
PROSPECT INN LOADING ZONE:
Mr. Mike Marden, owner of Prospect Inn, submitted a letter dated
February 5, 1974 (attached) requesting a loading zone in front of
Prospect Inn. The No Parking Zone in front of Prospect Inn was
to allow enough room to back the fire trucks into the old fire
station and is no longer needed. The Committee recommends the
request for a loading zone not be granted because other access
is available and other businesses would also want loading zones.
AMBULANCE CONTRACT:
The Committee tabled discussion on the ambulance rates until the
next meeting of the Committee.
JUVENILE OFFICER:
Chief Ault reported that Officer Cooper has been temporarily
assigned as Juvenile Officer.
NARCOTICS:
Chief Ault reported to the Committee on drug investigation progress.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.

Ruby and I have (surprisingly) come into ownership
off our little building over here which we have occupied
since 1950, and in the transaction we acquired Prospect Inn,
too.
During all this time, there has been a yellow Loading
Zone stripe in front of the Inn, and I see it in use very many
times during the summer, as tenants arrive and depart with
luggage. I asked Bob Ault the status of this Loading Zone and
he said it is not on the schedule.
The Chief said I should ask the Public Safety Committee,
through you, if they would consider re -instating the Zone so
it could be activated again. The Inn has 25 rooms and the aver-
age number of tenants there is about 48. The arrival and depar-
ture commotion recurs often enough to make me feel the Loading
Zone is a safety factor and much to be preferred over double
parking for passenger and baggage purposes.
If you will please tell me how I should proceed to make
this request officially, if a letter doesn't suffice, I'll
appreciate your advice very much.
Sincerely yours,
Michael Harden
