This is due to the cost of administering the registration program, staffing requirements and legal liability to the town. Martin asked for a recommendation to council to delete this section of the Town Code. Mike McGee, Deputy Fire Chief opposed this recommendation Mike McGee recommended to the board, with support of the police department, to remove only the qualifying portions of the code and leave he remainder to allow tracking of the contractors and their insurance.
