RESOLUTION 11:6:06 - 6 LOCAL LAW # _______ OF 2006 Of the Town of Beekman
This article is adopted pursuant to the authority of Town Law Section 130(7). Purpose/Findings The Town Board of the Town of Beekman hereby makes the following findings. The health, safety and welfare is adversely affected by the practice of some tow truck operators in the Town of Beekman coming to the scene of motor vehicle accidents in order to solicit business from those involved in the accident. The arrival at the scene of more tow trucks than area required, unnecessarily expands the scene of the accident to include those tow trucks. This increases traffic congestion and creates greater difficulty in directing traffic around the scene. Increased traffic congestion can cause delay for emergency vehicles and possibly life-saving personnel and equipment in arriving at the scene of the accident and at other emergencies that may occur at the same time. Also, this increased congestion can cause other motor vehicle accidents to occur and thus unnecessarily increase the risk of injury to emergency personnel, persons and property. The presence of more tow trucks than are required can also interfere with the activities of those police officers investigating the causes of the accident. Prohibited Act The solicitation of towing business at motor vehicle accidents prohibited within the Town of Beekman. It shall be unlawful for any person operating a tow truck to cause the said tow truck to remain within 1,000 feet of the scene of a motor vehicle accident unless such person has been called to the scene by a police officer or by a person involved in the mishap. Penalties for Offenses A violation of this section shall be punishable by a fine of not less than $ 500 for the first offence and by a fine of not less than $1,000 for a second or subsequent offence within one-year of the previous offense.
RESOLUTION 11:6:06 - 7 RE: To Set Public Hearing for Local Law Prohibiting the Solicitation of Towing Business at Motor Vehicle Accidents Councilman Daniel French offers the following and moves its adoption: WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Beekman wishes to enact a local law prohibiting the solicitation of towing business at motor vehicle accidents within the Town of Beekman due to the adverse effects caused by such pursuits; now therefore be it RESOLVED, that a public hearing on said local law will be held on the 20th day of November, 2006 at 7:20 o’clock p.m. at the Town Hall, 4 Main Street, Poughquag, in the Town of Beekman, New York; and be it further RESOLVED, that notice stating the time and place of such hearing and setting forth the proposed local law, or describing in general terms the proposed amendment, shall be published on or before the 10th day of November, 2006 in the Poughkeepsie Journal, a newspaper circulating in the Town of Beekman, and posted on the signboard of the Town.

RESOLUTION 11:6:06 - 8 RE: To Request NYS DOT to Authorize a Traffic Light at the Intersection of County Route 7 & Beekman Road (County Route 9)
WHEREAS, the Town of Beekman and the surrounding towns have seen a great and rapid escalation of growth resulting in an increased volume of traffic on our roads; and WHEREAS, this increased volume of traffic has resulted in numerous traffic accidents at key intersections on heavily traveled roads in the Town of Beekman; and WHEREAS, in the best interest of the well being and safety of our citizens, the Town Board has determined that a traffic light at the intersection of County Route 7 and Beekman Road (County Route 9) would aid in reducing the number of potential accidents and at the same time provide relief in the amount congestion of vehicles on County Route 7 attempting to turn onto Beekman Road; now therefore be it RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby requests the New York State Department of Transportation to provide the necessary evaluations in order to place a traffic light at the intersection of Beekman Road (County Route 9) and County Route 7; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk is hereby authorized to complete and submit the required TE-9 application to the Dutchess County Department of Public Works.

RESOLUTION 11:6:06 - 9 RE: To Request NYS DOT to Authorize a Yield Sign on Main Street (County Route 7) (At the Access Intersection onto Main Street from West NYS Route 216)
WHEREAS, accidents are occurring between vehicles traveling on NYS Route 216 westbound from NYS Route 55 turning onto Main Street (County Route 7) with the vehicles traveling eastbound on NYS Route 216 also turning onto Main Street (County Route 7) due to the confusion of who has the right of way; and WHEREAS, to address this problem and prevent further accidents, the Town Board of the Town of Beekman recommends placing a yield sign on Main Street (County Route 7) at the intersection of access onto Main Street from West NYS Route 216; now therefore be it RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby requests the New York State Department of Transportation to provide the necessary evaluations in order to place a yield sign at said intersection; now therefore be it further RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk is hereby authorized to complete and submit the required TE-9 application to the Dutchess County Department of Public Works.
