October 19, 1981 Special Meeting 2:30 P. M.
• At this time, Mayor Horton called the Special Meeting of the

Horton, Vice Mayor Harold C. Storm and Commissioners John J. Basso,
Mary Louise G. Blosser and Edward J. Sullivan.
Also in attendance were: Elaine W. Roberts, Town Manager; Thomas
E. Sliney, Town Attorney; Police Chief Kenneth Jones and Jane E. Barker,

1. LeConcorde Seawall - Town Lots 87 and 89
Mayor Horton stated that this matter had been discussed at
a previous meeting and that Mike Walther of Strock Engineering
was to obtain more information. The Town Commission had
originally approved a 360 foot seawall at this location, as well
as the Department of Natural Resources. In the meantime, two
of the involved owners are no longer interested and approval is
now being sought for a seawall only 190 feet long.
Mr. Red Taylor of the Bureau of Beaches and Shores stated that
the original permit had been issued under different restrictions
but that they would consider another application, after the new
• owner of one of the lots gave his approval for the seawall to
be built.
Much discussion took place among the Commissioners, Mike Walther

of Strock Engineering, and Fran Hamzik, Building Official; with
the Commission generally feeling that the coastal control line
should be held and the builders should not interfere with the
vegetation.
The conclusion was that Mr. Walther said they would return with
a new plan for the east side of AlA and this matter will be
brought up again at some future date.
2. Gee and Jenson Proposal
Inasmuch as the Gee and Jenson Proposal had just been received
this date and none of the Commissioners had had a chance to
study it, Mayor Horton stated that this item would be placed
on the Workshop Agenda for October 27, 1981 and would come
under the Town Commission Reports.
3. Discussion with Police Committee
Mr. Lowell Blum, Chairman of the Police Committee, addressed the
• Commission with the recommendation that since Sgt. Cecere had
been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, the position of Sergeant
should be filled as soon as possible. The Police Committee's
recommendation for Sergeant was Patrolman Harry Maher.
Commissioner Sullivan inquired as to whether the Chief had any
objections to Patrolman Maher being appointed as Sergeant. Chief
Jones recommended this promotion.
MOTION by Commissioner Basso/Commissioner Sullivan that Patrolman Maher
be promoted to the rank of Sergeant effective October 1, 1981. All
Commissioners voted Aye.
(a) Re• Duties
Mr. Blum then proceeded to discuss Resolution No. 413 which
established a Police Committee on January 6, 1981. He
referred to Section 2 mainly, wherein it states that the Police
Committee shall report to the Town Commission.
A great discussion was held for quite sometime concerning this
subject with the end result being that this matter would be
• brought up again at the Workshop Meeting on October ~7, 1981.

new salary schedule as set forth on the four year plan be adopted
and made retroactive to October 1, 1981. All Commissioners voted
Aye.
