The Grand Lake Board of Trustees met Monday, March 10, at Town Hall and discussed a distracted driving policy that will be added to the town’s safety manual.

The policy was implemented to reduce the incidence of driver distractions and to ensure the safety of town employees and others. Additionally, the policy will ensure that the town is in compliance with other motor vehicle laws and reduce risk.

This distracted driving policy will apply to all town employees, and violations of the policy will be “considered a serious matter and may be subject to disciplinary action.”

Trustees passed the policy unanimously.
