Bracing for Summer’s Hordes
At a very brief work session last Thursday, the East Hampton Village Board took a step toward meeting the coming onslaught of summer visitors. Along with announcing a notice to bidders for the next two-year contract for garden maintenance at the Home, Sweet Home Museum, the board approved the purchase of 840,000 tickets for motorists entering the Reutershan and Barns Schenck parking lots.
A two-hour limit is in effect between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. from May 1 through Dec. 31 in the two lots. From Jan. 1 through April 30, the two-hour limit applies on Fridays, Saturdays, and federal holidays. Tickets, which bear the date and time at which they are dispensed, are to be displayed on the driver’s side of the dashboard. Failure to display the ticket may result in a fine.
The board authorized the $11,495 expenditure to Cincinnati Time Recorder Inc. for the tickets.
Before the meeting concluded, Bruce Siska of the board advised that batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors should be changed twice a year, and that the start and conclusion of daylight saving time are ideal reminders to do so. Daylight saving time begins on Sunday at 2 a.m. C.W.
