I had a proposal on hiring the Nucla Marshal
Dear Editor,
One aspect of town bus-
iness of much concern to
me--now and over the
years--is the recruitment,
hiring, training and, most
of the time, firing of the
Nucla marshals. I had a
proposal to make-to our
Board and community
about this, but, alas, am
too late, for Nucla has hir-
ed a new marshal; I barely
was aware the incumbent
had resigned.
Well, I still have my
proposal, and ! still wish
to propose it. My concern
is that since 1980, every
marshal or deputy marshal
hired by successive town
boards has left employ-
want to speculate about
why.
What I had to propose
was that before hiring a
new officer, we have a
public meeting at which
every Nucla citizen could
be present and to which
ment under a cloud and every Board member,
usually in the midst of - every- law enforcement of-
controversy. Maybe our in- ricer, every business per-
cumbent marshal is an ex-son, representatives of the
ception, but with less than school district, and West

Urging, be invited to at-
tend. At that meeting, we
could hear ideas, com-
ments and statements of
expectations from every-
one concerned with law
enforcement and public
safety. We could ask some-
one from Naturita's Town
Board to attend to share
any ideas about any mat-
ters our towns might work
on together.
I would ask for and,
hopefully, receive the

blame the Board for not
making everyone happy all
the time.
Well, here is the revised
proposal. Let's have a

A proposed contract for
police services for both
the matters covered in the
proceeding paragraphs can
be addressed. Now that
the Board has done its
work and hired a marshal,
our meeting could have an
additional purpose, specifi-
cally that of welcoming
and getting to know our
new marshal. It could be
our opportunity to discuss
concerns and expectations;
to let the new marshal
know we are sincere about
inviting him to work here,
that we want to have him
around for a long, long
time and will go out of our
way to make him want to
