Town of Hudson - Board of Selectmen
Minutes –May 26, 2010
Onawell as Ms. Santos. Also present were Police Chief Braga, Fire Chief Blood, and Recreation Director Ghiloni.
Selectmen to consider approval of Transient Vendor/Hawker Peddler Licenses for various vendors associated with the Rodeo scheduled for the Memorial Day Weekend at the Elks:
Present on behalf of the Elks was Dennis Zilembo, Manager and on behalf of the Rodeo, Mr. Kenneth Churchill, the event manager.
A significant discussion took place involving the Board members, the event and Elks managers, and the Department Heads over what plans were in place to assure that the event would go off smoothly in terms of noise, crowd control, litter, traffic and parking, and other related issues.
Among the information presented was that Hudson Police would have a 12-person detail present which would be complemented by a 40-person private security detail provided by the event producers. The event personnel noted that parking had been secured at off-site locations such as Intel, and that a shuttle service would be employed to avoid congestion and traffic problems.
More than one Board member brought up the events of the previous weekend which had generated a large number of noise complaints from neighbors, which were not addressed adequately by the Elks staff until the event was shut down by police in the early evening.
All of the Board members present expressed the sentiment that if there were significant problems with the rodeo this coming weekend, then the entertainment license held by the club would be placed in jeopardy.
