2. Public Building Commission

Mr. Joe Novak reported for the PBC.

The renovations are due to be complete by December 31, 2002. The PBC is currently working with O&G Industries, Herbert S. Newman and Partners, and staff to define the required contingency to finish the project. Parking lot lights are partially working and the scope of the work was less extensive than originally reported. A small project is planned later this week to energize the Capen Street side parking lot lights. This will be completed by the town and B.O.E. forces.

The PBC will have proposals for the final design of the shower/restroom and pump house at their next regular meeting. The site work will be designed by the town staff and staff will work on all local approvals, ie., Town Planning and Zoning, Wetlands, etc.

Anchor Engineering is working on the final design of the Wash Rack Facility. Staff is gathering information on some state facilities that were recently designed and built.

Pace and Sons Construction has completed approximately 98% of the site work.

Interior work should commence on or about October 28, 2002. Completion is expected by late February 2003, but this depends largely on the weather. Roof top units and final installations may not be able to be set until Spring.

Windows have been manufactured and will be installed during the next two months.

Design work has started. James Vance Associates of Hartford, CT is the Architect. This project will be bid in the spring and construction will be scheduled during the summer months.

Awaiting direction from the Town Council.

Design funds have been approved. The planned replacement is for summer 2003 which to date has not been funded. Best and Joslin have been hired as the architects and design work is expected to be complete by this fall.

Best and Joslin Architects has completed the schematic design. Construction is planned for the summer of 2003. Construction is not funded.

Deputy Mayor Curtis commented he was impressed with the renovations at Windsor High School and asked if the school library was still under renovation. Mr. Novak responded that the library would open in the next few weeks.

Councilor Pacino asked when the parking lot at 330 Windsor Avenue would be paved. Mr. Novak responded that contractors perform blacktop work into the month of November and the parking lot will be paved during the first portion of November.

Councilor Jepsen inquired about the status of the WHS renovation audit being prepared by town staff. Town Manager Churchill responded the report would be available for the Town Council’s review for their first meeting in November.

Councilor Jepsen asked about the $250,000 cut from the technology portion of the renovation project. Mr. Novak responded that the funding was not cut, but rather shifted to the construction portion of the budget, which enables O&G to supervise the wiring work.

Councilor Broxterman asked about the outdoor lights referenced in Mr. Novak's report. If it is not as bad of a situation as once thought, what is the newly estimated cost? Mr. Novak stated the estimate is $20,000 to $40,000.

Councilor Broxterman asked if all the lights were installed at the same time. Mr. Novak said he was uncertain, however, he does know that they have all been worked on throughout the years – rewiring, etc.

Councilor Walker inquired about the cutting of funds for security equipment and cameras. Mr. Novak responded that there are no town-wide guidelines for security systems in public buildings. This type of technology is always changing and the pricing of equipment continues to drop, so it was decided to cut the security cameras, and if it is decided to install them at a later time, the price will have decreased significantly.

Council Walker inquired if there would be any security cameras. Mr. Novak responded no.

Mayor Trinks suggested the topic of security equipment be discussed at the Board of Education/Town Council Joint Committee.

7. Town Manager’s Report

   Status of Heritage Valley Resort (proposed Ice Rink for Barbers Pond location)

   The State Attorney General's Office would not allow the ice rink project proposed by Mr. Carl Nowiszewski of North Ventures, LLC to go on Hayden Trust property as a profit-based company. Mr. Nowiszewski has been reluctant to convert his organization to non-profit status and has been pursuing alternate locations and design alternatives with an architect for the project. The timing has become somewhat less urgent, as the project would be unable to be completed for this year’s skating season. Mr. Nowiszewski has also been working with his attorney to draft a proposed letter of agreement between North Ventures, LLC and the Town of Windsor concerning the financial commitment that the town has made to this project, which you may recall is $450,000. Updates will be provided on this matter as they develop.

   Senior Health Fair

   As a reminder - the Senior Center will be holding the Annual Senior Health Fair in combination with the Health Department's Flu and Pneumonia Shot Clinic this Wednesday, October 23rd from 8:30 AM until 2:00 PM at the L.P. Wilson Community Center. If you have not pre-registered, please bring your Medicare card and Physicians Health Services card if you have their coverage. Without these cards the cost will be $12.00 for the flu shot and $15.00 for pneumonia shot. No appointments are needed. All vendors, including the Flu Vaccine, will be available until 2:00 PM.

   If you are unable to attend the Health Fair, flu and pneumonia shots will also be given next Monday evening, October 28^th, here in the council chambers at Town Hall from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM. For more information, please call 285-1992 or 285-1824.

   A Week of October Fun!

   This Friday begins a week- long extravaganza of Halloween adventures for Windsor residents of all ages. Night of 1001 Pumpkins will be held at Northwest Park from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM on October 25^th. Wear your costume, bring a carved pumpkin and enjoy clowns and storytellers at this free event.

   On Saturday, October 26^th, visit the Park again for "Creatures of the Night." Meet the creatures that go about their nighttime adventures as you walk along the park’s illuminated trails. Visit the creatures anytime between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM Saturday evening.

   In addition to turning your clock back on Sunday, October 27^th, have some fun making your own Halloween mask at the Monster Mask Bash from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM at the Windsor Library. This free event is great for pre-school and elementary school aged children.

   Finally on Halloween night enjoy a nightmarish evening from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM at "Nightmare on Broad Street." Visit the many downtown businesses who will be handing out ghoulish treats, visit the Haunted House and Halloween Village, have fun on the hayrides and more! For information on any of these events, call 688-5165.

   Councilor Pacino asked if the town’s agreement with North Ventures was approved just for that specific location. Mayor Trinks responded that he felt the perimeters of the agreement were very specific and any deviation from it would require re-evaluation from the council.

   Councilor Mulligan asked Town Manager Churchill about the status of the $250,000 budget concern the Town Manager has been taking measures to address since the beginning of the fiscal year. He would like the council to receive an update on the Town Manager’s progress. Town Manager Churchill noted that he would report on that issue at the next meeting.

   Councilor Walker asked for an update on the flooding concerns of residents in the vicinity of Tamarack Drive. Town Manager Churchill reported that staff has been talking to the State of Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection regarding this issue because this is the time of the year to address this type of situation. The beaver dams need to be removed.

   Mayor Trinks requested the North Ventures project be placed on the agenda of the next Town Council meeting to discuss the possible release of funding which was encumbered. If Mr. Nowiszewski presents an alternative approach for the project, he feels there could be two separate projects that need two separate looks.

   Councilor Broxterman asked if council could acquire a review from legal council with regards to assisting private landowners when they are in a situation such as those on Tamarack Drive.

   Councilor Jepsen offered that the Wetland Commission deals with "right of flow" issues and may have some impact as well.

8. Communication from Town Council Members

   Councilor Broxterman – reminded motorists to be careful on October 31, 2002 and that the Windsor High School football team will be playing at home this Friday night.

   Councilor Jepsen – As a follow-up to a request from the community, Councilor Jepsen requested a status report on the suggested amendment to the flood plain ordinance. He displayed the Republicans "People’s Choice" award from the annual Windsor Chili Challenge.

   Councilor Mulligan – None.

   Councilor Pacino – has noticed that lights in and outside the Goslee Pool bathhouse have been on during the night. He would like to know if there was a formal agreement with the business owner adjacent to 330 Windsor Avenue regarding reconfiguring the driveway and associated signage. He is interested in having a policy drafted regarding the re-naming of public buildings in town. He encouraged everyone to drive safely on Halloween.

   Town Manager Churchill informed Councilor Pacino that the letters received from residents regarding the naming of 330 Windsor Avenue have been the result of citizens taking initiative. Staff will research the topic and bring something to the next council meeting.

   Councilor Simon – None.

   Councilor Walker – hopes the Board of Education/Town Council Joint Committee will re-visit the topic of security equipment and cameras at Windsor High School. He does not feel it is a significant amount of money within the scope of the whole project.

   Deputy Mayor Curtis – offered congratulations to the Republicans on their chili victory, and noted that the chili challenge event was a great day for both the cooks and visitors to the green.

   Mayor Trinks – asked former Town Council member, Joe Novak if he was aware of a policy regarding the naming of public buildings. Mr. Novak responded that to his knowledge there has never been a policy.

   Mayor Trinks offered congratulations to the Republicans on their chili challenge "Peoples Choice" award. He also welcomed a new downtown business, Cyclist’s Haven to Windsor and noted their recent ribbon cutting ceremony. The Mayor expressed his concern for the East Granby Firefighters who will be unable to hold their annual Halloween Fundraiser. He suggested that the Town Manager contact East Granby officials to invite their residents to share in Windsor’s Halloween events.

9. Reports of Standing Committees

1. Finance Committee – None.
2. Town Improvements Committee – None.

   October 14, 2002 meeting are included on this evening’s agenda.

4. Special Projects – Councilor Walker reported that the Special Projects Committee met on Tuesday, October 15^th to review the updated Code of Ethics ordinance. The Special Projects Committee recommended that it be sent back to town staff and the Board of Ethics for fine tuning and review in two particular areas. 1) to refine the policy to better reflect who the policy is geared for, ie: town staff and officials as opposed to everyone in town and 2) fine tune the consequences of violating the ethics code. The committee did not address the specific item of the Board of Ethics working together with Windsor Police to investigate issues, but will do that in the future. Councilor Walker noted that he returned his tickets to the Jesters performance.
5. Joint Board of Education and Town Council Committee – Council Simon reported that this committee will meet prior to the next Town Council meeting.

A . Presentation of Nuisance Abatement and Enforcement Strategies

Town Manager Churchill gave an overview of the proposal for addressing nuisance issues, specifically newspaper boxes and shopping carts.

Councilor Pacino said he liked the suggestion of "corralling" the newspaper boxes because it seemed neater. He asked if we could just eliminate them altogether.

Town Manager Churchill responded that we are unable to eliminate the newspaper boxes because they are protected by the first amendment. However, most of the boxes are located on state right of way properties and town staff is currently talking to the State of Connecticut Department of Transportation to see if they can delegate authority to the town to regulate the sites.

Councilor Pacino noted that some of the boxes are privately owned. With regards to the shopping carts, he realizes they are a hassle, but feels the storeowners are unable to know when someone is taking one from the property. He asked that this be taken into consideration if a policy to fine business owners is considered. He also noted that most carts are found near bus stops in the Wilson and Kennedy Road sections of town. Town Manager Churchill assured Councilor Pacino that transportation concerns would be taken into consideration.

Councilor Pacino asked if other towns enforce "penalties," and, is it possible to enforce them? Town Manager Churchill responded that Windsor would be a front runner in this type of activity.

Councilor Pacino asked the Town Manager to explain "community building" project, as referred to in his presentation. Town Manager Churchill reviewed the four components of community policing: who is in control of the space, community building, walking beats and dealing with nuisance issues.

Councilor Simon added that he felt there were two concerns with the newspaper boxes - appearance and potential safety hazards. He favors the corral idea.

Councilor Broxterman expressed the need to be cautious with this issue, citing that the council needs to decide what it is they want town employees to be doing with their time. "Corralling" the boxes could result in a safety issue or line of sight problem. He feels there are many other nuisances such as telephone poles, which are equally unsightly, but they are all just that – nuisances.

Councilor Walker welcomed the healthy debate and added that it is not just newspaper boxes involved, but car magazines, etc. that compile the 28 boxes in the center of town. He does not want to infringe on any constitutional rights, but does agree that they are a safety problem as well as an appearance problem. Forming partnerships will help find solutions. If we continue to allow unsightly things, people will see a precedent – it is a quality of life issue.

Councilor Mulligan feels most of the publications are comprised of advertising magazines and is not certain the first amendment would protect them.

Councilor Broxterman concurred that yes, we can regulate on another level, but feels they should only be addressed if it is a safety issue.

Deputy Mayor Curtis noted there are so many boxes in front of the Post Office that you cannot even see the building. He looks forward to discussing this issue in committee.

Mayor Trinks proclaimed that Windsor has worked very hard to create character consistent with what we want our town to be, so he would like to see the issue pursued. He is opposed to the corral solution because it adds distraction and an additional safety factor, as people will then get out of their car to retrieve one of the publications. He fears for the safety of pedestrians. With regards to the shopping carts, he feels the business owners should take the extra step to police their areas.

Councilor Mulligan noted that if you make a corral for 14 boxes, what will happen when the 15^th shows up?

Councilor Pacino suggested the newspaper boxes could be designed more attractively to match the center of town. He thinks the town should speak to the Post Office about moving the boxes.

Town Manager Churchill noted that the Capital Improvements Plan addresses the issue of traffic flow and location of mailboxes, etc. two years down the road. The CIP calls for boxes to be lowered to driver level, on the driver’s side.

Mayor Trinks referred the matter to the Health and Safety Committee for further discussion.

B. Introduce ordinance entitled "Demolition of Structures"

Deputy Mayor Curtis introduced the topic, noting there was some history behind this issue as it was discussed during the time period when the Windsor House was demolished, but the ordinance was never fully developed and approved.

Town Manager Churchill recommended the issue be discussed at this time since it is not as emotional of a topic as it was in September of 1999. The draft ordinance suggests a 90-day period before demolition. This ordinance would be relatively limited if adopted. The draft ordinance would apply to buildings listed on either or both the National Register of Historic Places and the Town of Windsor Historic Survey (1981). The survey has 429 sites and includes all National and State Register sites. The list of properties on the National Register of Historic Places contains 9 individual sites, and sites in two districts for a total of 83 properties.

Councilor Pacino inquired if there is a size limit to the buildings. Town Manager Churchill responded there are no square footage requirements.

Mayor Trinks referred the matter to the Health and Safety Committee.

1. Approve resolution accepting bio-terrorism grant and authorize the Town Manager to execute an agreement with the State of Connecticut

   Dr. Charles Petrillo, Director of Health and Social Services, introduced the agenda item and gave a brief overview.

   Councilor Broxterman asked what the town could do for $8,500. Dr. Petrillo responded that the town plans on partnering with neighboring communities and pooling the money to hire a consultant to assist in developing a plan.

   Moved by Councilor Broxterman, seconded by Council Walker that the motion, "RESOLVED that Leon Churchill, Town Manager, is authorized to make, execute and approve on behalf of the Town of Windsor, any and all contracts or amendments thereof with the State of Connecticut Department of Public Health to upgrade local public health’s preparedness for and response to bio-terrorism, other outbreaks of infectious disease, and other public health threats and emergencies" be accepted.

   Motion passed 8-0-0.

2. Resolution adopting tax increment finance policy (TIF)

   James Burke, Director of Economic and Community Development, gave a brief overview of the topic noting that the Economic Development Commission has worked with council in the past to develop tools to address properties that need attention.

   Councilor Broxterman asked if he would qualify for this incentive if he purchased the Rappaport building and turned it into a movie theater. Mr. Burke responded that there would be necessary steps for any applicant, including proof of viable use and that the property must be one of the town’s priority redevelopment sites. The developer must also show that TIF assistance is necessary and reasonable. The town then needs to determine that there will be adequate taxes generated to provide the finance without adversely impacting the town.

   Town Manager Churchill noted that you must be able to demonstrate that the value of the building will increase, and that the new taxes generated need to pay the town back in no more than twenty years.

   Councilor Broxterman asked what the town would be out if an idea was accepted, but then the idea fell apart. Mr. Burke responded the town would be out whatever the intended proposed project/use of the building was going to be as well as the jobs that may have gone along with that proposal. He noted that the town is not at a complete loss because the town would still be collecting property taxes.

   Councilor Simon noted that he thought this type of incentive tool was going to be used by the State of Connecticut for the football stadium. He asked if this incentive would be exclusive of any other incentives currently offered. Mr. Burke said it is up to the town to make that decision. Using more than one incentive can be done, but generally the incentives work toward cross-purposes.

   Councilor Simon inquired if the funds would be generated through issuance of general obligation bonds similar to our Economic Development Incentive Program.

   Mr. Burke responded that the current focus of the Economic Development Incentive Program is on public property improvements and that these are funded by general obligation bonds. The current incentive does not cover private properties. This proposal does include improvements on private property. You could combine the two together, but the town looks at what new taxes could be generated. They can be general obligation bonds, but they do not have to be. They can be specific TIF bonds, meaning that the only thing that is pledged to pay them off is the specific revenue from that particular project.

   Councilor Simon inquired if it was separate and different, would it require a special trip to get a bond, or would the town loan out of the general fund. Mr. Burke said the entity that finances the project will typically buy the bonds.

   Councilor Pacino asked if this proposed policy is different than the tax abatement policy. Mr. Burke responded no, the tax abatement policy only applies to existing buildings.

   Councilor Pacino cited an example of building a new restaurant in Wilson, but could only do it if he could get seven years tax free from the town. Would he qualify? Mr. Burke said yes – only new buildings.

   Councilor Pacino inquired about the list of properties and who would benefit – the property owners, or the business coming in on that property. Mr. Burke responded it would depend on how the project is structured. An existing building may be in bad shape or have environmental issues that need to be addressed. The money could be used toward those types of improvements. The desire is to have the project completed.

   Councilor Pacino used the example of if he brought a chain restaurant to a piece of property, then would he as a property owner have to be in communication with the restaurant chain regarding the incentive? Mr. Burke responded that in that specific example, the funding would most likely go to site improvements to entice the restaurant chain to go there.

   Councilor Pacino asked if a property owner could apply for a loan to improve a site and then get it prepared to entice a chain restaurant to come in. Mr. Burke responded that the incentive requires that you know the whole project. It is not speculative. You need to come forward with a complete plan, and the project needs to be scheduled to begin in three years.

   Councilor Pacino noted that unlike JDS Uniphase, the chances are a lot less of getting burned.

   Mr. Burke noted that the town did not get burned with the JDS Uniphase situation as they are still on the line for taxes, and will pay enough taxes by the end of next year to cover the money that was bonded.

   Councilor Jepsen asked if this proposed policy was urgent or just another tool for the EDC kit and if the Town of Windsor is in discussions with a developer who needs a tool such as this. Mr. Burke responded that this tool has been included in discussions with regards to the redevelopment parcel, but there is no particular developer lined up. He added that this proposal is aimed toward larger projects of at least a million dollars or more.

   Councilor Walker asked what the town did in the way of assisting the development of the Huntington House Museum project. Mr. Burke noted the acquired land for the parking lot extension in the agreement made with the Huntington House Museum.

   Councilor Walker feels the town does an excellent job with businesses and economic development, but does not feel we utilize the same amount of ingenuity with the concerns of homeowners to get them the help they need.

   Mr. Burke reviewed the current rehabilitation program offered to homeowners who make improvements to their homes such as the tax abatement program and how the town acts as a conduit for state funding to assist low income homeowners fix their homes.

   Councilor Walker noted that what he was hearing was that the town does have staff to deal with homeowner problems.

   Town Manager Churchill noted that the town needs to deal with the private property issue when discussing Tamarack Drive. That particular issue is two-pronged as it deals with both the beavers and the blockage. He hopes what the town is addressing now will provide the solution. If not, we need to find a way to deal with the blockages themselves and deal with the policy issue of getting onto the private property. If it gets to that point, he will bring it to the Town Council, but would like to deal with the eradication of the beavers first.

   Mayor Trinks referred the matter to the Finance Committee and asked if council action would be required when the properties are identified. Mr. Burke responded that any changes to the existing list would go before the Town Council for approval.

3. Job Description for Senior Engineering Aide Position

Peter Souza, Assistant Town Manager and Amelia Bliss, Director of Human Resources introduced the agenda item to the council.

Councilor Walker asked about the employee currently in this position - how much of this job description is the employee doing now, and are they earning more or less then the proposed salary range. Ms. Bliss responded that the employee is making approximately $100 less than the newly proposed minimum level.

Councilor Walker asked if they were performing all the duties listed. If so, why is one person doing this? He feels it is a two-person job. Assistant Town Manager Souza responded that all positions in the Design Services Division are multi-faceted. There is not just one position for one duty.

Councilor Walker understands the importance of being multi-faceted in today’s working environment, but still feels the proposed job description is overwhelming. He inquired if it was a management job. Assistant Town Manager Souza responded that it is a technical position, not management.

Councilor Broxterman asked if the town surveys private sector as well as public sector companies when comparing salaries and job descriptions. Ms. Bliss responded typically, yes, however in this case we did not find comparable positions in the private sector.

Councilor Broxterman asked if the proposed position was exempt or non-exempt. Ms. Bliss answered that it is a non-exempt position.

Councilor Broxterman inquired if the employee in this position would be eligible for overtime. Ms. Bliss responded in the affirmative.

Councilor Broxterman asked if the increase would put the employee at the minimum of the new pay range and if that is what the union contract requires.

Ms. Bliss responded that the union contract does not address reclassifications. Personnel rules indicate the employee should be placed at the lowest rate in the higher pay range that provides no less than 5%.

Councilor Simon asked how long the employee above has been working his current job description. Assistant Town Manager Souza replied 9 – 12 months; noting that the employee’s pavement management duties has evolved over the past 5-7 years.

Councilor Simon asked why this position was not included in the job descriptions recently reviewed by the Special Projects Committee. Town Manager Churchill responded that the recent review by Town Council was only of non-union positions.

Councilor Pacino asked if there was any requirement in the union contract to grant the promotion because the employee had done the specified work for a certain amount of time. Ms. Bliss responded no. The contract provides for an increase to the maximum of the range after the employee has been working out of classification for 12 months. However, this is temporary while the out of class work is being performed, rather than a permanent promotion.

Councilor Broxterman inquired if the town had to provide retroactive pay for this employee. Ms. Bliss responded no.

Councilor Jepsen noted that there were six full-time positions listed in the budget document for Design Services. Was this an additional position? Assistant Town Manager Souza responded no, all six positions are filled at this time.

Mayor Trinks expressed some concern regarding tailoring a position for an individual which could make it difficult in the future for other potential job candidates. Ms. Bliss responded that the job description was designed for how the job is done, not who the employee is. In the future if the position becomes vacant, it should not make it more difficult to recruit, because the requirements are more specific in the proposed job description.

Councilor Broxterman asked what percentage of town jobs are "apples to apples" with the private sector. Ms. Bliss said she does not know exactly, but it is positions that are common to most towns such as clerical positions, police officers, building inspectors, etc. that parallel the most.

Councilor Broxterman inquired if the town tends to lean toward pigeon holing positions or general descriptions. Town Manager Churchill added that in a general sense, this position would be comparable to a project manager position in the private sector.

Mayor Trinks asked Councilor Simon if the Special Projects Committee reviewed the revised positions in the past before council approval. Councilor Pacino expressed that if the person is doing the job, he is in favor of putting the motion forward without further delay.

Mayor Trinks expressed interest in remaining consistent with past procedures and asked if a two-week delay would be acceptable. Assistant Town Manager Souza responded that a two week delay was fine, and noted that previously when the job descriptions went to committee, there were approximately thirty days for review.

Moved by Councilor Pacino, seconded by Councilor Simon that the proposed job description for Senior Engineering Aide be approved and the Town of Windsor CILU Local #66 pay plan be amended to reclassify the position of Senior Engineering Aide from pay grade 10 to pay grade 12.

Motion passed 6-2-0 (Mayor Trinks and Councilor Walker voted against the motion)
