Garland suggested the <br /> Board just appoint the Police Chief tomorrow, and let the rest of <br /> the appointments wait awhile. He directed the Executive Secretary <br /> to talk to the Fire Chief; the Board will meet' with him later t6 dis� <br /> cuss this. <br /> : 14) el. Thomas brought up the subject of- the Dog officer, Jim Ames' , <br /> physical ability to be performing he duties of his office . she <br /> would like to have the Town Physician testif ' s to his physical corp <br /> dition, and if he is physically able to be doing what is cabled for <br /> in the performance of his duties. Chm. . Garland stated h has had <br /> some - concerns in this regard, also - particularly when he hears the <br /> Dog Officer report that he has chased an animal 'through the woods. <br /> The Executive Secretary will check with the Personnel. Board about <br /> getting such a physical 'report. <br /> 1 The members of the Board asked the Executi-ve secretary to check on <br /> the status of the Aitchinson case with Town Counsel. <br /> 1 sel. Thomas asked what is happening with the two previously. authorized <br /> appointments to the Police Department. The Executive Secretary stated <br /> the new test will be given on Saturday; the last one had been co tpro- <br /> ised. <br /> 1 Chin. Garland' expressed his concern over problems ' that have re:centl*y <br /> ..been brought to his attention relative to Channel 9 . the Crime watch <br /> Channel=. Apparently there is a great Ileal of interference taking *. <br /> place on that channel - apparently it is being abused. Often loud <br /> music can be heard, and at tines quite a bit of foreign language -- <br /> which is doubtless being - picked up from boats. He would suggest blank--`:,I. <br /> ing out the Channel_ number on the Crime Watch signs, Exec.utiveSec- <br /> retary believes it -would be a good idea to bring it up .at 'a regular <br /> meeting, so it will be reported and the citizens will know the reason <br /> for the action by the Board. <br /> 1 Chin. Garland reported his concern with some of the problems- being. <br /> caused by alarm systems in town, which are proving very costly to <br /> the town. one of the greatest offenders at present is the New Seabury <br /> Tennis Club, which has had numerous false alarms recently. Some <br /> systems are - just too sensitive, he believes. Chat. Garland wonders if <br /> we would not be justified in charging to respond to false alarms, <br /> after allowing perhaps 3. These responses -are costly- to the Town <br /> a especially when the vehicles have to go all the way down to the tennis <br /> r <br /> club. He suggested the Executive Secretary tally to the Chiefs about <br /> this matter, and get their input into the . uestion of charging. <br /> 19 The Executive s-eeretay reported that- Brushrealer #2 'is clue back to- <br /> day. Apparently the delay was caused by the difficulty in getting <br /> parts, Brushbreaker '#1 was out for the first time over the week-end, <br /> and suffered some damage. Some of the exposed wires were torn lose. <br /> Mr. Murphy reported we will be getting a checklist of the deficiencies <br /> _ in the repair work with a day or two. The txecutive Secretary won- <br /> dered if it would be a good idea for the County to hire a Fire Engine <br /> Mechanic to be shared by those towns on the Cape who do not have their <br /> own mechanics. ' They could share his services and share the costs. <br />
