SAUGUS – With two parking clerks now on board Town Manager Andrew Bisignani said residents should be ready for a parking crackdown.”If you are parked illegally we will ticket you,” he said.While K-9 Control Officer Harold Young will continue carrying his ticket book with him while on normal patrols he has some weekend help now.Bisignani has hired Angelo Serino to patrol Friday, Saturdays and Sundays.”He will do parking control enforcement, he has his own uniform, his own car, he’s ready to go,” Bisignani said.Young was made a parking clerk in February of 2007 much to the chagrin of the Police Department. The Patrolmen’s union quickly grieved the appointment and was supported by an arbitrator. Bisignani, however, took the issue to the floor of Town Meeting where he prevailed.Last spring Town Meeting voted to accept a state statute that would allow the town to appoint a parking control officer, thus trumping an arbitrator’s ruling.Opponents argued it was merely a revenue-generating stunt.Bisignani doesn’t deny that it is revenue generating but he was also quick to point out that it only impacts those who are breaking the law.While Young got his parking ticket book back in May the patrolmen were still considering grieving the issue a second time when Bisignani made them a deal.”All the money made though parking tickets goes back into the Police Department,” he said. “It’s not a revenue raiser but that will help.”Bisignani said Chief Domenic DiMella told him that his officers would also be stepping up parking enforcement.”He said they would be more vigilant and I’ve seen it myself, they are,” he said.He also said given the heightened awareness of handicap issues with the Commission on Disabilities and the Sidewalk Committee Bisignani said he thought the timing for hiring parking clerks was right.Serino and Young are only allowed to write tickets for parking infractions such as vehicles parked in handicap zones, fire lanes, crosswalks or parked so they are blocking corners, handicap ramps or on sidewalks.”There’s a crackdown coming,” Bisignani said. “We want to improve the quality of life and show them someone cares.”
