outline a landing pad at the rec center on one recent occasion had been a complete failure. “We had an employee there to meet them, but they landed on the field next to Dean’s house."
Town Attorney Frank Reynolds asked how an ordinance prohibiting overflights and landings might be enforced, but received no reply.
Former mayor Newbill Miller accused Mr. Morehouse of “making light” of Mr. Bailey's suggestions. “When I was mayor I was told not to worry, that the pilots knew where to land. This is not a light subject among a lot of people.
“You make like you listen,” he told Mayor Morehouse, “but you don’t.”
“If you show me how there’s a way for this town to.enforce it,” Mayor Morehouse replied, “or for this town to pass it legally, I’ll be the first to vote for it. But I have yet to see an enforceable ordinance.”
He suggested, as an alternative, that residents take the identification numbers from the helicopter tail booms and report them to the Federal Aviation Administration. Any pilot reported must file a response, he said, and word would soon spread that landings within the town are not welcome.
Mr. Lynch agreed to approach the Washington Volunteer Fire Department about the possibility of using their property, just outside the town limits on Middle St., for helicopter landings.
Mr. Wickens questioned the status of his proposed “Ethics in Government” ordinance.
