The Middlebury Police Commission on June 8 unanimously approved placing a new speed-limit sign on Breakneck Hill Road and instructed staff to draft an amendment to Police Chief Patrick Deely’s contract addressing accrued vacation time.
Chairman George Moreira called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. and the commission first approved the May 11, 2026 meeting minutes after a motion by Commissioner Fran Barton Jr. and a second from Commissioner Tom King.
In old business, Deputy Chief Ron Hunt reported he inspected Breakneck Hill Road and provided historic Google Street View images; Chief Patrick Deely said there are already multiple speed-limit signs in the corridor, noting that “there may be 5 just in the general area.” Commissioner Tom King moved to add a new speed-limit sign on Breakneck Hill Road; Commissioner Ralph Barra seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The meeting moved into executive session to discuss an update to Chief Deely’s contract. After returning, Commissioner Barton moved, and Commissioner King seconded, that an amendment be drafted to the chief’s contract regarding accrued vacation time; the motion passed unanimously. The motion text and the vote were recorded on the minutes but the amendment’s substantive terms were not discussed in public during the meeting.
Other formal actions recorded in the meeting minutes included the unanimous approval to adjourn at 6:47 p.m.; the commission scheduled its next regular meeting for July 13, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.
The commission did not provide additional public details about the contents of the contract amendment during the meeting; the minutes state only that an amendment related to accrued vacation time will be written.
