Marshal reports 79 traffic stops, seeks grant funding for radio upgrades and speed signs
Summary
Marshal Steve reported 79 traffic stops, 14 citations, 43 incident reports and four arrests; he said the town will need radio replacements when the state upgrades and is seeking grant funding for radios and speed signs (one quote for signs cited at $7,000).
Steve, the town marshal, presented the monthly report: "We had 79 traffic stops. Out of those, we issued 14 traffic citations. We had 43 incident reports and 4 criminal arrests." He said he is applying for a Department of Homeland Security grant to replace two-way radios that will become incompatible with a planned statewide radio upgrade.
Steve also reported a $7,000 quote for speed sensors and associated signage and said he is exploring grants and other funding sources used by neighboring towns. Council members asked about enforcement data and suggested using temporary enforcement informed by data from parked speed trailers.
