During the week of March 19, 1973, Sergeant Darling and Patrolman
Cooper attended a photography school sponsored by the Ithaca Police
Department and instructed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Chief McEwen attended a similar school in 1969. We are in the process
of remodeling our basement storeroom for a darkroom facility and the
Police Benevolent Association has made a contribution toward the
expense of such a facility. Patrolman Cooper will build cupboards
and install ceiling tile and wallboard in the room. We would
• appreciate your consideration in appropriating $100 from the Village
Hall Maintenance Budget for 1973 -74 to assist with the expense of
this project.
On April 3, 1973, two school crossing signs were erected by the DPW
on The Parkway. This should give warning to motorists that a school
crossing of major importance exists at the intersection of Northway
Road and The Parkway.
We have received a civil service eligible list for Pat�tolmen from
the Tompkins County Personnel Office. I would like to recommend the
appointment of Daniel J. Sheehan to a permanent part -time position of
Patrolman. He has been working on a seasonal and temporary basis for
the Department since June 1, 1972. I would also like approval to hire
G. Thomas Hagin as a seasonal past -time Patrolman effective June 1,
1973.
A traffic count was made during April of the traffic on North Triphammer
Road and the adjoining streets and the results of these counts will be
given to you at the Board Meeting. A copy of these counts has been forwarded
to the Tompkins County Planning Department.
Respectfully /submitted,
McEwen
