Select Board seeks surveillance assessment after repeated vandalism at town beach
Summary
Following repeated vandalism and pass-duplication problems at the Town Beach, the board asked Nick from Bedell Electric to assess permanent surveillance camera options; the board also approved temporary towing and changed temporary passes to tags after Julie Ward said at least 50 non-resident temporary passes had been issued.
Board members reported increased vandalism and disturbances at the Town Beach and agreed they need enhanced security measures. Nick from Bedell Electric will conduct a site assessment for permanent surveillance cameras and will provide a written proposal for installation.
Chair Hal Ferguson said he has been monitoring the area, issuing on-site warnings when necessary and that repeated infractions could lead to towing of vehicles. The board also updated temporary passes to a new temporary tag after problems with unauthorized duplication; Administrative Assistant Julie Ward reported that "at least 50 temporary passes have been issued to non-residents" at residents' requests, and said the practice may merit further review.
