I \ 2-San Miguel Basin Forum, Thursday, December 4, 1986 r ! . i iii iii iiii ii i iiiii i i iii i i 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 three months between hit-End parents whose chil- ing and leaving, one might dren go to school in Nucla Schools' lunches listed WEST END SCHOOLS MENU: December 8- 11, 1986 Monday - Fish Cakes, rolls & butter, macaroni and cheese, green beans, raisin coOg-ies and milk.

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 don't work out and then blame the Board for not making everyone happy all the time. Well, here is the revised proposal. Let's have a meeting, maybe even a pic- nic or other type of com- munity sharing, at which Naturita Marshal proposed contract 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 Naturita and .
