�W Ralph Vetterlein, Chairman of the Emergency Access Subcommittee, referred to the action plan dated 3/7/95 prepared by the subcommittee. The purpose of this subcommittee was to recommend policies and projects to the Council that would provide adequate access routes for emergency vehicles and evacuation routes for Town residents in the event of any type of disaster. To this end their plan included the following: an inventory of current emergency roads and pathways to be done on a district -by -district basis and an evaluation of these roads. One issue to be discussed is the use of gates blocking paths and the use of chains instead so that emergency vehicles can get through. This issue needs to be clarified. The subcommittee members (Bob Hall, Les Earnest, Bob Stutz and Ralph Vetterlein) had been assigned certain emergency roads and paths to evaluate. Council thanked Mr. Vetterlein for his report and asked that the subcommittee complete one district and bring a report back to Council at that time rather than doing all the emergency roads in Town. 8.
