In a memo- randum dated December, 19 , ' 1986 , Mr. Virgilio stated that some private roadways and association have not conformed with the rules and regu- lations set forth November 16 , 1984 and further that all did re.ceive a copy of the sane letter early in the Fall. A list of the delinquent parties was attached, He stated that conformation is so important , in the main, because of the extremely _ig cost of snow and ice removal. He suggested that roads belonging to non.-cooperative parties will be plowed in daylight hours only to ensure the safe operation of equipment. He noted that this could mean that snow would be packed on the surface and a good plow job will be impossible . He said, ti e also publish i the newspapers . " Mrs .

He proposed that letters be sent to these indi- i vidua.ls , noting that such an under-taking would be major. He also said that by the time these residents can respond by getting an association -together, the winter hazard season would be over. Gere Tarr of John's Pond, noted that in that area it was staked as requested by the DPW and in a short period of time , .. {.- a�-iy of the stakes we re removed parti- cularly by youngsters , the area no longer complied with the rules and regulations . He said, "It's not always only a. matter of not trying to comply, there are frequently a lot of factors in the situation" . It was agreed that the DPW would have to "muddle through" this year and start notifying and inspecting for compliance early on next year. It was
