The Southwest Harbor board of selectman has called a special town meeting, tentative date May 31 at 7 p.m. The meeting will consider acceptance of a $5,400 grant under the federal Safe Streets Act for an additional officer, and modification of the regulations governing parking at the upper town dock. The federal is a matching-fund town has its share budgetted. The money is theoretically for a summer officer for three months, but, with an additional $50 voted, the amount would cover the cost of an additional officer fulltime. Before the decision to call the meeting to accept, the board went into executive session to discuss the matter with Police Chief George Hammond.
When a reporter objected the discussion of the granting and use of public funds is not an acceptable reason for an executive session, one of the selectmen decided that it was being called to discuss personnel. When they returned to open meeting, they reported that Hammond has a couple of people in mind for the job. "Did he say who?" asked Elwell Farley. The board heard at lengthy discussion by three local businessmen in regard to the loss of trade they have experienced because of the $15 monthly parkirg fee charged at the upper town dock. There has also been a problem of reserved slots being illegally filled and of slots marked reserved not actually being rented.
The $15 fee is charged non residents during the three summer months. Charge for local residents is $5. The charges were set in a town meeting in 1972. Archy McEachern, Mrs. Norman Sarns, and George McVety all indicated that they have lost considerable business because of the parking problem which precipitated a decision to transfer mail run to Northeast Harbor.
They outlined a number of possible solutions, any of which would have to be voted by town meeting. The selectmen expressed a desire to cooperate in any way possible. George McVety was designated. to discuss the matter with the Cranberry Isles selectmen for suggestions prior to the special town meeting.
