“There are already fines that go along with (the fees), but they’re minimal,” said Selectman Rob Johnson.
Chairman Skip Vadnais noted “several establishments in town that have been cited for, asked to do certain things, they’re not doing them because they rather pay the $20 (fine) and walk away. We can’t settle for that. When we establish fines that are punitive because its’ public safety and we have to appoint a hearing officer who has to be certified.”
Johnson said discussions have been held with possible candidates to serve as a hearing officer.
