The Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown has determined that
certain special events occur from time to time within the village that generate
such traffic control problems that tax the resources of the various shifts
of the Tarrytown Police Department to such a degree that public safety can
be adversely affected. The intent of this legislation is to enable the hiring
of persons without police or peace officer status to control traffic during
such events and to permit the police officers of the Village of Tarrytown
to better perform their public safety responsibilities.
[Amended 12-7-1987]
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Tarrytown is hereby authorized
to employ persons without police or peace officer status for the purpose of
providing traffic control during special events. Special events, for the purpose
of this section, shall include but not be limited to the traffic generated
by the change of shift at the General Motors plant in North Tarrytown, the
reconstruction or closing of roadways which necessitates the rerouting of
traffic, parades and public festivals or celebrations.
