SWAMPSCOTT – Selectmen say many of the complaints they receive from residents stem from a perceived lack of enforcement of existing of local laws.Chairman Jill Sullivan named trash, parking violations at the beaches, dogs on the beach during the summer and snow removal as recent complaints from residents during the last couple meetings, all with dissatisfaction aimed toward the lack of ticketing for violations.Sullivan wondered aloud, could the town employ a non-badged enforcement officer of some kind? “We?ve all been thinking about it,” Sullivan said at last week?s meeting.Town Administrator Thomas Younger responded the town was looking possibilities for part-time help for enforcement especially in matters of parking violations.The key, said Younger, was not to use ticketing for revenue enhancement for the town but to be “in a position where you never have violations.”The concept isn?t new to the town. During the first meeting of the newly-established Regionalization Committee, Selectman Barry Greenfield said he had been speaking with town residents who recalled a time when teenage employees walked the beaches looking for violations. During the process of adding parking to Phillips Beach, Swampscott Police Lt. Gary Lord said one his first assignments as a rookie officer was to ticket cars without parking stickers at the beach.On Friday, Assistant Town Administrator Dave Castellarin said it?s not as simple as hiring a part-time, non-badged person for enforcement. The town must first check with unions to make sure it?s not infringing upon police officers? duties. As Castellarin put it, “We?re not there yet.”Castellarin said he often hears complaints from residents saying there is no enforcement, but he argued that data reports of how many parking tickets are issued each month say otherwise.
