To The Citizens of Hinesburg Regarding Police Chief Morrell
From the Hinesburg Select Board
UPDATE (2/2/10): Error in Burlington Free Press Article: Contrary to what appeared
in the Burlington Free Press on Monday, February 1, 2010, Chief Morrell has not been on paid administrative
leave since April 22, 2009. Morrell was placed on paid leave on April 22, but the status was changed to
unpaid leave on September 10, 2009.
UPDATE (1/11/10): The final hearing in the arbitration process occurred on January 4, 2010. Written briefs by legal counsel for each party are due to the arbitrator on January 25, after which the arbitrator has sixty days to deliver a written decision. This is a management performance case and such cases are complex and difficult. It has been a difficult process for all involved and the Selectboard looks forward to the final decision and resolution of the matter. As of this date, the Selectboard has incurred $76,000 in legal and arbitration costs, which includes the estimated cost for the remainder of the arbitrator's work. Three members of the Selectboard have attended all twelve days of hearing, and two members attended portions thereof. After listening to all the evidence, the Selectboard is even more convinced that it has done what was necessary and in the best interest of the community, both from a financial and service standpoint.

The bicyclist was riding north on the sidewalk crossing the exit lane of the market. The driver of the vehicle disregarded the signs at the exit which read: “Stop Here On Red” and “No Turn On Red.” The collision with the bicycle occurred when the driver crossed the stop bar on the roadway leading from Lantman’s onto Route 116. The designation at this intersection was specifically instituted to protect pedestrians due to the lack of visibility of the sidewalk The cyclist was injured and taken to Fletcher Allen where he was treated and released. In an effort to prevent future incidents in which pedestrians and cyclists may be seriously injured, the police department has initiated a stepped up enforcement at this intersection. Drivers failing to obey the signs at this location could be fined $214.00 and have two points taken off their license.
