SPECIAL HEARING - BOARD OF TRUSTEES
HELD FEBRUARY 6, 1967
The Hearing was called to order by Mayor Kindel at 7:45 p.m.
ROLL CALL: Roll Call found the following Members present:
Mayor Kindel
Trustee Dobson
Trustee Burdick
Trustee Hoyt
Trustee Langmaid
Trustee Seibert and Willett were absent.
MINUTES OF THE HEARING
This Hearing is to consider adopting by reference the Model
Traffic Code as amended herein.
The Ordinance was read by the Town Recorder. The deletions and
amendments were noted and discussed.
There was a question from the floor whether the 15 mph speed
limit was enforceable. It was determined that this was in order and someone
driving at excessive speeds could be cited for careless driving much more
easily by the Police Officer when radar equipmOnt is not in use.
Mayor Kindel pointed out that some of the regulations of a Traffic
Code are not necessarily signified through a sign system. We are all expected
to know that parking is prohibited within five feet of a fire hydrant, etc.
A suggestion was made by George Knox from the floor that perhaps
an addition should be made to control smoke or pollution of the air. He cited
an example given from Aspen where diesel busses must run all day and have been
causing a problem. Mayor Kindel suggested that perhaps a separate ordinance
dealing with Air Pollution would be in order since there were some other areas
1p that n ed to be covered.
Robert Parker suggested that our Officers should be trained in the
handling of our guests. He was invited to a meeting with the Police Department
to be held February 9th at 4:30 in the Town Offices. It was also suggested that
an Officer could be available during peak periods to direct traffic and explain
to tourists that there are certain areas where you can not park as well as give
tourist information.
The Hearing was concluded and the Board of Trustees decided to con-
sider adoption by reference of the Ordinance at its next regular Meeting.
