John Pier, 1006 Windsor Avenue, Treasure of Windsor Housing Authority. Began by noting that there is a need for a fifth member. Detailed the Housing Authority's purpose. Stated that operating expenses are covered via tenant rents, which are capped. Stated that the Federal Section 8 Housing program compliments rents for 150 family units. The section 8 funding subsidizes the administrative costs. Commented that they do not receive money from the town, however, they do pay the town $24,000. Pointed out that generators are needed for an alternative power source, however, the state does not permit the use of their own capitol funds. Secondly, the Town of Windsor entered into an arrangement several years ago for providing senior housing at the old Fitch school. CHFA has approached the Housing Authority offering financial backup for this project, however, there is an issue of a lease with the town for this property.
Mayor Hogan asked if the lease mentioned was a fifty-year lease. Also asked when the meetings were held for anyone interested in filling need for a fifth member.
John Pier responded that the lease was for sixty years and that the meetings are held the last Monday of every month at 3:00 PM.
Leon Churchill, Town Manager, reported the following:

It is also a great opportunity to learn more about what they do. Some of the topics that are covered are Communications/E-911, Investigations, Crime Scenes, motor vehicle stops, and Specialty Services like EST, K-9, bikes, and Scuba. Most of the classes are either "hands on" or have some type of demonstrations. There is also an opportunity to go to the shooting range, if the students are interested.
If you are interested in attending or if you know someone that would like to attend, you can get an application at Town Hall, the Police Department or on-line at the Windsor Police web site www.windsorpolice.com For more detailed information, call Officer Renee LeGeyt at 688-5273 x563.

Council member Broxterman provided background of the proposed ordinance. The intent is to provide a means for the public to report the misuse of handicapped parking. Noted that The Chief of Windsor Police supports this ordinance.
Council member Haverstock commented that he is concerned about police resources such as responding etc. Feels that this might create a diversion of safety issues. Asked if the businesses that would have to provide the sign would be incurring the cost. Is concerned that this ordinance diminishes the sense of community by encouraging tattling.
Council member Broxterman responded that police resources would not be affected because the signs would be a deterrent and would not greatly increase calls. The signs would be produced at a cost of $2,500 to the town. Stated that in terms of vigilantism he feels that this would curb that by providing a means other than personal confrontation.
Council member Haverstock asked if Windsor has a fine associated with this, and has there been any thought given to raising the fine as an additional deterrent.
Chief Searles stated that the current fine is $35.00 which doubles if not paid within 7 days. Feels that this is a sufficient amount. Commented that he feels that this is an issue of respect.
Council member Simon wanted to echo the feeling that this is an act of civil disrespect. Commented that he feels that it is the duty of the more able-bodied individuals look out for the needs of the less able-bodied, which would increase the sense of community.
Council member Pacino asked if the fine is limited to $99.00 by law? He said that he would like to increase the fine to this amount. Asked if the town will keep a supply of these signs for the new businesses.
Council member Broxterman noted that the information signs would be a separate sign that attaches to existing handicapped parking signs.

Tom Lenehan answered that CROG sends approved projects to DOT's concept unit, which will go on site and determine if there are any missed items. At that point it will be determined if the town is over 5%.
Council member Haverstock stated that he is concerned about inflation, how can we be sure we are not stuck with a large overage.
Tom Lenehan responded that the Council always has the option of not going forward with the project if things change somehow.
Deputy Mayor Curtis made a motion, seconded by Council member Simon authorizing the Town Manager to submit the identified projects to the Capital Region Council of Governments with the understanding that a portion of the cost, including design costs, 10% of the right of way costs, and all costs exceeding 5% over estimated project costs, of each federally approved project will be the responsibility of the Town of Windsor.

d. Appropriation of $80,000 to fund school safety and security enhancements.
Deputy Mayor Curtis summarized this item stating that it stems from some questions that were raised at a Board of Ed meeting as to the status of the safety recommendations that were brought to the last Town Improvement Committee meeting. The concern raised at the last Town Improvements Committee meeting was that the money has already been expended. Due to the Clover Street walkway project, the $80,000 estimate jumped to $180,000. He stated that after some consideration he felt that the remaining items could possibly wait.
Council member Haverstock asked if he was correct to summarize the input of Ms. Montague that there is not a particular urgency for these funds.
Deputy Mayor Curtis responded that the items were a part of the original request, however, the funds were exhausted with the Clover Street walkway project. He also noted that the items are part of the plan for the next budget.
Council member Simon stated that he is a member of the Town Improvements Committee, and felt that it was appropriate to give the Council an opportunity to discuss this item.
Council member Pacino commented that he feels that this should wait and asked if the Board feels that there will be a surplus.
Town Manager Churchill responded that the annual audit showed that the Board came very close.
Council member Haverstock said that he is concerned that piecemeal funding does not encourage balancing. Stated that he would like to see more discipline and long term planning. He felt that it was appropriate to hold off action on this issue.
Deputy Mayor Curtis noted that the piecemeal approach was not the intention of the Board.
Council member Broxterman added that the Council needs to keep things in prospective, noting that the costs were the result of a study.
e. Adopt budget calendar including public hearing dates for FY 2001 - 2002.

Also recommended utilization of the Wilson funds for a pedestrian bridge over Deckers Brook to connect the 330 Windsor Avenue parcel to Sharshon Park. He noted that the bridge would help alleviate the parking problem at the park enabling people to park at 330 Windsor Avenue. He commented that the parcel is important to the Wilson neighborhood, it is important to feel out what developers would do with the parcel. Currently this lot is used for the Wilson carnival, residents would like to see development.
Council member Haverstock asked if the town would be guided by positive uses and not only the value of the lot.
Patrick McMahon stated that currently they are open-minded to various uses.
Council member Haverstock asked if the town has been approached by any interested developers.

Order of Business, of the Rules of Order for Town Council be amended by deleting item VI - Board of Education Report (first monthly meeting) and inserting in its place VI - Annual Reports of Appointed Boards and Commissions.
Council member Simon said that he will be supporting this due to the fact that it is a better alternative being proposed. He said that he does not think the two bodies information flow is as good as it could be. Stated that he feels that that the alternative of the working committee would be a vast improvement.
Council member Haverstock agreed. He shared the notion that the Council should be working with the Board to improve education in the Town. He commented that he has been frustrated by the lack of any reports in the past few months.
Council member Haverstock stated that he has heard limited discussion about a joint committee, would like to know more before adopting this amendment.
Council member Pacino stated that he is in opposition. He commented that he feels that the Town Manager is accountable. He said that he feels that the Board should be able to make their monthly reports and take questions, not only show up looking for money.
Deputy Mayor Curtis commented that he felt that the voters provide the funds not the Council. He stated that he will support this motion. Noted that holding one person to answering questions during sessions is not reasonable. He said that he feels that this would be a much better way to communicate with the Board.
Council member Broxterman stated that he is in support of the motion, and feels that this has been the most frustrating agenda item thus far. Noted that the Board is an elected body and does not answer to the Council. He commented that the Windsor Youth is of prime importance and, therefore, the best method should be used to serve the their needs.
Council member Albano suggested an amendment to remove annual to leave the door open for additional communications.
Mayor Hogan noted that any Board or Commission should feel free to come to the sessions at any time.
Council member Trinks and Council member Broxterman, makers of the motion, agreed with removing annual from the text of the amendment.
Council member Simon said that he would like to see this committee formed and feels that it would show a real effort to work together.
Council member Haverstock said that he does not know that we are replacing something with something better. Would like something thought out and put into writing. Does not feel that it is too much to ask that the Board appear and answer legitimate questions. Noted that he bristled when hearing the Board does not answer to the Council and commented that although that is true, the Council is being asked to appropriate the vast majority of funds. Therefore, he does feel like the Council has some input. Commented that he feels the Board is intentionally boycotting the sessions.
Council member Trinks stated that there is no evidence of an intentional boycott.
Council member Haverstock said that he was simply inquiring if that was the case as it has been nine months since the Council has last heard from the Board. Motion passes 6-2-0 with Council members Pacino and Haverstock opposing.
