Board to inspect disputed device after residents say campus fixture looks like a camera
Summary
Campground staff and residents disagreed about a device on the snack‑bar corner — some called it a camera with privacy implications while others said it was a motion‑activated light sensor; the board agreed to inspect and remove it if necessary and to check insurance/recording concerns with an inspector.
Residents and staff debated whether a device mounted on a town building corner was a surveillance camera or simply a motion‑activated light sensor. Some raised privacy and liability concerns, saying the device appears to record and should be removed immediately; others who know the device explained it functions as a motion light to deter after‑hours access to the snack bar.
The Chair asked staff to check the device, gather identifying information and confirm whether it records. An insurance inspector will visit next week to advise the board on what is permissible under the town’s insurance and state rules. Board members said they will remove or replace the device promptly if it contains an active camera.
