MASHPEE POLICE DEPARTMENT [UT l u • : s►I9 IIZI April 13, 1999 TO: Board of Appeals FR: William C. Przybylek, Chief ofPoli� RE: Request For Conditions -Special Permit for Flea Market Thank you for the opportunity to offer several conditions for your consideration relative to the operation of Dick and Ellie's Flea Market this year. As in the past, I would like to stipulate the dates when the Flea Market operator must arrange for one (1) Private Detail Police Officer during the hours of 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The officer is generally stationed in the vicinity of the intersection of Route 28 and Donna's Lane/Job's Fishing Road to assist with both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The Flea Market must contact Sergeant Ronald Bevacqua of our department on or before May 14 to schedule the details for the season. Those dates are as follows: On each Saturday and Sunday from June 26 through August 29; On Saturday, Sunday and Monday of Memorial Day Weekend (May 29, 30, and 31); On Saturday, Sunday and Monday of Labor Day Weekend (September 4, 5, and 6). Please note that Private Detail Officers will not be required, based upon past experience, on the Monday of the Independence Day Weekend or on any of the days of the Columbus Day Weekend. In addition, I would like to again specify that a permanent -type barrier gate be required at the entrance of the Flea Market opposite the Deer Crossing Condominiums entrance and that the gate be closed from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily except for emergencies. Also, because of difficulties experienced with the previous operator of the Flea Market and their effect on our financial accounts, I would like a condition that requires that the cost of Private Detail Police Officers be paid at least one week prior to the date when the officers perform duties. The Flea Market operator should contact our Administrative Assistant, Barbara Costello, at the Police Department to coordinate such pre -payments. This will ensure that sufficient funds will be on deposit with the Police Department to compensate officers who are assigned duty at the Flea Market. In the event that no police officer is on duty because one could not be located to take that assignment, the funds would be retained and carried over for the following week. The Board of Appeals should be aware that, in the past, there were some occasions when the Private Detail assignment at the Flea Market went unfilled primarily because of the amount of such work available to officers and the shortage of officers to fill the assignments. There is nothing the Police Department can do to compel officers from Mashpee, or the other departments we use to assist us, to take the assignment. N :1 Hd S I ddg 66 Y8310 NAA0.1 33dHSVH 30 N=i
