  5. Public Communications and Petitions

    Mr. Richard C. Lobach, Jr., 47 Ludlow Road, addressed the Council regarding One Connecticut. They have an alternate budget plan. This plan will raise taxes and affect some influential people. The time of action is now and must come from groups like the Town of Windsor and not the political party they are affiliated with. He asked that the Council see the positives in One Connecticut’s budget proposal and support it.

    Mr. Adam Gutcheon, 230 Windsor Avenue, thanked the Council for its action establishing an open space fund. He also addressed the State budget. Cuts that are made at the legislative level translate to cuts in education or raising taxes. He encouraged all to work together in a bipartisan way. He requested Councilors to speak to Legislators to request that they don’t cut aid to municipalities.

    Mr. Peter Magistri, 109 Preston Street, a member of One Connecticut, spoke to the Council. He ran for office last year and half of his information came from One Connecticut. He is in favor of a progressive income tax and feels that the burden should be placed on corporations.

    Mr. Eugene Lucia, 48 Nod Road, head coach of American League Baseball Team, spoke in favor of the improvements to the athletic fields. It would be beneficial to the youth of Windsor to improve Sage Park field and move the location. He has been told that 70% of youth stop playing organized sports at age 12. Several youth in town have told him one of the reasons is that the fields are in poor condition.
     

  6. Report of Appointed Boards and Commissions
  1. Public Building Commission

Mr. Joseph Novak, Chairman, PBC reported to the Council.

WHS Renovations - will be completed by the end this month. The Tech Ed area will be ready on Monday, January 27th. The rubber gym has been turned back to the athletic department. The punch list will be completed over the next two or three months. The project will probably be closed out in March or April.

Goslee Pool – the bid package will be opened at their next meeting.

Public Works Renovation – the wash rack portion has been put out to bid and will be approved at their next meeting.

330 Windsor Avenue - the interior work has begun and the building is still being used. Asbestos paper duct wrap was found while modifying existing ducts, which will probably involve a $6,000 change order.

Town Hall Roof Project - has gone out to bid and will be completed within four months.

Poquonock School Windows – the windows were installed and the blinds will be installed shortly.

L.P. Wilson Roof – will be bid in the spring, with construction next summer.

Windsor Library Expansion Project – awaiting direction from the Council.

Poquonock Office Improvements – the design is completed but funding has not been approved. Construction is planned for this summer.

Councilor Pacino noted that there was some leakage in the high school gym and requested Mr. Novak to look into it. Mr. Dennis Shevel responded that it only leaked for one day and they aren’t sure of the cause. Once the snow and ice are off the roof they will be able to determine the cause.

Councilor Broxterman asked about the design of the Poquonock Office. Mr. Shevel answered that the offices in the front of the building are very small and they don’t have public access. The main office, the nurse’s office and conference room will be moved to the north side of the building where there is parking and handicap accessibility. The vacated space will be converted to educational space. Two locker rooms will be renovated as educational space also.

Councilor Mulligan inquired about the L.P. Wilson roof. He also asked about the potential catastrophic failure of the decking. Mr. Novak responded that almost half the roof would be replaced. Mr. Shevel responded that an asphalt built up roof often lasts longer than its warranty. Mr. Novak added that a consultant was hired to go up on the roof and he used an infrared scan to detect any problems in the roof. Mr. Shevel said that the gypsum on the roof is the same used in wallboard. If it gets wet, it becomes weak. We don’t know to what extent being wet has weakened the gypsum deck. There are contingency funds for gypsum deck replacements, which they expect to be a small project.

Councilor Jepsen asked about the light repairs/replacements. Mr. Novak said that they are awaiting electrical bids.

Councilor Pacino asked about the replacement of the roof and the design flaw. Mr. Shevel said that the replacement would include the appropriate expansion joists.

Mayor Trinks noted that a resident told him a utility box on Capen Street was damaged by graffiti and he requested that it be cleaned up.

  1. Town Manager’s Report

    Life Saved by Windsor Police Officer

    On Sunday, December 29, 2002 the Windsor Police Department received a call requesting medical assistance for a possible heart attack victim at the Loomis Chaffee ice skating rink. Officer Steve Vesco was the first officer to arrive on scene. When he arrived he found an off duty nurse (the victim’s daughter) administering CPR to a 75 year old male. The victim was not breathing and not responding to the attempts to revive him. Officer Vesco utilized the defibrillator and revived the patient. The ambulance arrived and the patient was transported to Hartford Hospital.

    On Thursday, January 2, 2003 the department received a thank you note from the victim’s spouse commending the actions of Officer Vesco and stating that her husband was doing well.

    Cold Temperatures Bring Winter Fun

    I am pleased to announce that three Windsor outdoor ice skating locations are now available for use. Skating enthusiasts wishing to practice their triple toe loop can do so at Welch Park, Sharshon Park or on the Windsor Town Green. For updated outdoor ice skating conditions, call the Recreation 24-hour information line at 285-1988.

    State Budget Woes Continue to Impact Windsor

    I wish to confirm media reports from last week that the State of Connecticut is holding up to $68 million in end of the year tax reimbursements. The impact on Windsor is $1.46 million. The funds are part of the Reimbursement for Exempt Machinery, Equipment and Commercial Vehicles Program. Providing the exemption is state-mandated and State law also requires reimbursement, but the December 31st payment has not been made. I will continue to update the Town Council and the general public on the continuing fiscal situation.

     

    Disposal of Spare Parts is Standard Practice

    You may recall that Mr. Patrick Danford of Enfield made statements at the last Council meeting questioning the propriety of parts and supply disposal related to the Windsor High School renovation project. Mr. Danford had actually spoke to me on this issue last December and I investigated the issue with the Public Building Commission and project management staff.

    Mr. Danford makes a good point about the disposal of parts that are new or nearly new. All purchases are done on a competitive basis and are made on a bulk basis by various contractors. The purchasing quantity does not match the WHS’s precise needs sometimes, or only some pieces of a commodity are needed for the project. Contractors frequently do not have the ability to return spare parts to the particular wholesaler. This issue has been received the attention of PBC staff throughout the project. An auction of spare equipment was attempted, for example, but lost $4,000. The Town’s outside auditor will test the town’s procurement practices, and State of Connecticut will audit the entire project as a prerequisite for reimbursement.

  2. Communication from Council Members

    Councilor Albano – None.

    Councilor Broxterman – attended the Martin Luther King celebration at the L.P. Wilson Center and it was very uplifting.

    Councilor Jepsen – None.

    Councilor Mulligan – noted that there are fire hydrants that are buried under snow. He reminded residents that it’s in their best interest to remove the snow from the hydrants.

    Councilor Pacino – asked about the property taxes and K-Mart declaring bankruptcy. Town Manager Churchill said that the town would be at the top of the list of creditors.

    Councilor Simon – None.

    Councilor Walker – apologized for not waving to Mrs. Skully. The effect on the mill rate to retain current services in the town could be estimated at $400 per household. Some may be able to absorb those increases, but the seniors may not be able to. They are part of the history of this town.

    Deputy Mayor Curtis – also attended the Martin Luther King memorial and thanked all volunteers.

    Mayor Trinks – discussed the Council retreat and said it was a success. He is concerned that K-Mart is closing. James Burke, Economic Development, responded that there is a 60-day notice after the announcement. The property is owned by K-Mart and they have an interest in finding a suitable replacement. The agent indicated that they are looking to find a replacement and the lease rate should be favorable to another large box retailer. The Conversations on Race kickoff last week was a success and the room was packed. NCCJ is very pleased with the volunteers they obtained. Myron Senczikowska has been awarded his retirement badge from the Police Department and was subsequently hired by the BOE as a residency officer. The Senior Center had an exciting event last Friday, a resident, Mr. Van Gasbeck, was awarded his WWII medals by Congressman John Larson. Mayor Trinks congratulated Parker Pennington for winning 5th place in the Senior Men’s Figure Skating. His brother Colin placed first in the novice division.

The Committee will be recommending amendments to the alarm ordinance.
  4. Special Projects – None.
  5. Joint Board and Council Committee – None.
  1. Ordinances
  1. An ordinance appropriating $270,000 for improvements to Sage Park Middle School and Windsor High School Athletic Fields, and authorizing the issue of $270,000 bonds and notes to finance the appropriation.

    Moved by Councilor Walker, seconded by Councilor Broxterman to adopt an ordinance appropriating $270,000 for improvements to Sage Park Middle School and Windsor High School Athletic Fields, and authorizing the issue of $270,000 bonds and notes to finance the appropriation.

    Brian Funk, Director of Public Works, gave an overview of the project. The turf is being worn out by current use. In addition, the layout of the fields at Sage Park could be more efficient if modified. This project would entail installing an irrigation system at Sage Park, improving the effectiveness of the existing irrigation system at O’Brien Field; replacing the "crown" at O’Brien Field to improve drainage, followed by the re-sodding of the field; moving of certain drainage structures at O’Brien Field to allow for its potential use for soccer games; moving of the baseball field at Sage Park from the center of the park to the southwest corner in order to provide for a more efficient layout of fields in the park; improving drainage in Sage Park; as well as replacing some of the fencing at the park, especially along the property lines.

    Deputy Mayor Curtis asked what the liability would be if we didn’t do this project and about the repositioning of the baseball field. Mr. Brian Funk, Director of Public Works, responded that the drainage issues have to be addressed and the fields are unusable. Sage Park is the most heavily used grassy area in Windsor. With the additional users it will wear out the grass every year. The only way to maintain that field with its heavy use is the installation of an irrigation system. There would be constant seeding, proper fertilization and aeration. For the safety of the users and proper irrigation of the grass, we need the irrigation system. To get the most efficient use out of the baseball field it would need to be repositioned.

    Councilor Broxterman asked that if the football field was crowned and re-sodded but the catch basins weren’t moved, could we do the irrigation at a later date. Mr. Funk replied that a larger field is necessary for soccer, so the catch basins need to be moved. Re-grading would be necessary if the basins were moved at a later date.

    Councilor Jepsen asked how much more of an expense is the drainage. He also asked that if this project didn’t pass, how would it impact the CIP. Mr. Funk said that the landscape architect is estimating $100,000, but if we do some of the work, it should cost around $40,000. Town Manager Churchill said that we are in the final stages of the CIP and if these projects are not approved, other projects would be deferred next year.

    Councilor Walker asked if this project would cover holes or unevenness at the Sage Park Field. He also questioned who would pay the medical bills if a resident fell in one of the holes and that the town should have legal representation on staff. Mr. Funk responded that it would fill the areas. Town Manager Churchill said that youth sports have insurance, but the town could be sought to pay damages.

    Councilor Simon said that given the budget circumstances we have to get used to setting priorities.

    Mayor Trinks agreed with Councilor Simon and noted that in the uncertainty of the budget, we need to look at these cases and individually scrutinize them. He personally feels like we would be letting the leagues, volunteers and residents down if this project is not passed, however, given the budget shortfalls, he cannot support it at this time.

    Councilor Broxterman wants to remind the public that there are several issues, the most important a loss of over $3 million in State aid for next fiscal year. We are forced to create a list of priorities in order not to overextend. We would certainly like to see these things happen, but we cannot make a decision at this time.

    Moved by Councilor Broxterman seconded by Councilor Albano to table the item.

    Motion Passed 8-1-0 with Councilor Jepsen opposing.

  2. An Ordinance Appropriating $800,000 for replacement of the roof on the north section of the L.P. Wilson Building, and authorizing the issue of $800,000 bonds and notes to finance the appropriation.

    This project would replace the roof on the north section of the facility. The roof on the south side of L.P. Wilson does not require replacement at this time. A section of the south side was replaced approximately five years ago. This section should last for about 15 more years. The remainder of the south roof would normally be scheduled for replacement in approximately five to six years. The town monitors the condition of the roof on an annual basis.

    Councilor Simon feels that this project should be the highest priority because of the potential damage that could happen if the roof isn’t repaired.

    Councilor Broxterman asked if we bond over 20 years. Town Manager Churchill stated that we do. Councilor Broxterman is in favor of this to avoid a catastrophe if the decking gets wet and weakens.

    Councilor Mulligan is satisfied that the portion that is not being replaced is in good condition and he is in favor of repairing the roof.

    Deputy Mayor Curtis and Mayor Trinks agree that this project is very important and demands immediate attention.

    Moved by Councilor Simon, seconded by Councilor Broxterman that the following ordinance entitled "AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING $800,000 FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE ROOF ON THE NORTH SECTION OF THE L.P. WILSON BUILDING, AND AUTHORIZING THE ISSUE OF $800,000 BONDS AND NOTES TO FINANCE THE APPROPRIATION" having appeared on December 16, 2002 agenda as item 12 (g) be hereby adopted following a public hearing on the aforesaid ordinance.

    Motion Passed 9-0-0

  3. An ordinance appropriating $335,000 for window replacement at Clover Street School, and authorizing the issue of $335,000 bonds and notes to finance the appropriation.

Replacement of these windows will significantly improve the comfort level for both students and staff, enhance the appearance of the facility’s exterior, and reduce fuel consumption. In addition, certain doors to the school require replacement because they cannot close properly. This action will also reduce fuel consumption.

Moved by Councilor Simon, seconded by Councilor Mulligan that the ordinance appropriating $335,000 for window replacement at Clover Street School and authorizing the issue of $335,000 bonds and notes to finance the appropriation be adopted.

Moved by Councilor Mulligan, seconded by Councilor Pacino to table the item.

Motion Passed 6-3-0 with Councilor Jepsen, Councilor Simon and Mayor Trinks opposing.

  1. Unfinished Business
  1. Introduce ordinance amending Demolition Delay Ordinance

    A demolition delay ordinance requires a waiting period (90 days is proposed) before an identified historic structure can be demolished. It does not prevent demolition, but allows time for discussions and negotiations as ways to preserve a structure.

    Councilor Albano can’t leave it up to a person to determine if there will or won’t be a 90-day extension. He is not in support of the ordinance as it stands.

    Councilor Broxterman is in favor of the ordinance giving the Building Official discretion.

    Town Manager Churchill added that this is written consistent with State statute. The Building Official does not determine this alone, he involves the Economic Development Director and other staff members.

    Councilor Jepsen said as written the ordinance does not have a mechanism to make changes to the list of the targeted properties.

    Moved by Councilor Broxterman, seconded by Councilor Jepsen that the reading into the minutes of the text of the ordinance entitled "DEMOLITION DELAY ORDINANCE" is hereby waived, the full text of the ordinance having been distributed to each member of the Council and copies being made available to those persons attending this meeting; and that the full text of the ordinance be recorded with the minutes of this meeting.

    Motion Passed 9-0-0

    Moved by Councilor Broxterman, seconded by Councilor Jepsen to introduce the following ordinance entitled, "Demolition Delay Ordinance".

    Motion Passed 8-1-0 with Councilor Albano opposing.

  2. Set date for a public hearing concerning proposed amendments to the Demolition Delay Ordinance

Motioned by Councilor Broxterman, seconded by Councilor Jepsen that a Public Hearing be held at the Windsor Town Hall on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 at 7:15 p.m. (prevailing time) for the purpose of receiving public comment on a proposed ordinance entitled "Demolition Delay Ordinance" and further resolved that the Town Clerk is authorized and directed to post and publish said notice of said Public Hearing and that the Town Manager is duly authorized to notify the property owners listed on the 1981 Historical Survey that a Public Hearing is taking place.

Motion Passed 9-0-0

  1. New Business
  1. Presentation by One Connecticut

Ms. Lynn Ide, an Executive Board Member of One Connecticut, made a presentation of their alternate budget for the State of Connecticut to the Council. One Connecticut is a coalition of 100 organizations that advocate for human services and related causes. Their budget is an alternative to the Governor’s proposed mid-year reductions, which are estimated to reduce State Aid to Windsor by approximately $1.1 million, and a larger deficit is projected for FY 2003-04 that could result in additional aid reductions. One Connecticut’s budget also considers future State budgets.

The proposal reflects four key premises: 1. Avoids state layoffs, 2. Maintains core public services, 3. Restores cuts to municipal aid and 4. Evens out the balance between cut and revenues.

For more information, contact Shelley Geballe, JD, MPH (yalie4567@aol.com); Ellen Scalettar, JD (escalettar@ctkidslink.org); CT Voices for Children, 33 Whitney Avenue, New Haven, CT 06510, 203-498-4240 (phone), 203-498-4242 (fax) or www.ctkidslink.org.

Councilor Simon asked if the alternative budget would restore any of the spending cuts which have been proposed. Ms. Ide doesn’t believe that all of it would be restored.

Mayor Trinks feels that we haven’t seen the legislature leadership come up with anything. It puts us in a position where we can’t authorize projects with merit. Mayor Trinks asked what the average tax increase would be based on the projected reductions in state aid. Town Manager Churchill responded that the average $130,000 home would result in a $412 increase. Last year’s tax increase was $120 per home. Mayor Trinks said that the concept and the initiative that One Connecticut is taking is a positive step in this budget crisis.

Councilor Walker asked if One Connecticut has presented this alternative budget to any State Representatives. Ms. Ide replied that they made a presentation in December. They have circulated it to Representatives. Only 50 Democrat Representatives have signed on and supported this budget. No Republicans have signed on.

Councilor Pacino requested a list of organizations that are part of One Connecticut. Ms. Ide recommended going to the website www.ctkidslink.org.

Moved by Councilor Simon, seconded by Councilor Broxterman that the Windsor Town Council endorses a state budget plan which restores services, including municipal aid to cities and towns, and ensures that revenues for such a plan come primarily from those with the ability to pay. In addition, the Town Manager and his staff are directed to advocate for this state budget solution on behalf of the Town of Windsor with our legislators and with other interested organizations.

 

Councilor Simon noted that the motion does not endorse the One Connecticut budget, although he personally endorses it. The motion endorses any state budget plan that addresses these issues.

Councilor Mulligan disagrees with Councilor Simon’s note that the motion doesn’t support One Connecticut’s budget. The motion directs the Town Manager and staff to advocate for this state budget solution. Councilor Simon responded that "this" applies to the first sentence in the motion, not One Connecticut’s budget.

Mayor Trinks endorses this motion to jumpstart our legislators. We expect our legislators to come back with a budget that is not as detrimental to our town.

Councilor Jepsen doesn’t see a solution in this plan to restore revenues and he cannot support this motion.

Councilor Broxterman supports this motion.

Motion Passed 5-4-0 Councilor Jepsen, Councilor Mulligan, Councilor Albano and Councilor Pacino opposing.

  1. Presentation by First Town Downtown

    Mr. Jim Martin, President, and Ms. Katie Breen, First Town Downtown, gave a presentation to the Council reviewing the mission and vision statements and their strategic goals. The Main Street Program has been incredibly successful, making it one of the most powerful economic development tools in the nation, even though it focuses on historic preservation and retaining community character. Over 20,000 people visited Windsor Center last year for events sponsored by the Town and many civic organizations. In 2002, volunteers donated 3,450 hours of their time to First Town Downtown.

    Their strategic goals involve ensuring that the existing commercial space and opportunities for in-fill development in Windsor Center have the highest and best mix of uses based on market opportunities, and leverages the significant mix of existing assets; to develop and implement a marketing and public relations plan for Windsor Center that promotes Windsor Center’s distinct existing assets and opportunities and is communicated to carefully identified target markets to draw more people, businesses and investors into Windsor Center; and to further develop a revitalization program, with First Town Downtown positioned as the central coordinating agency, based on collaboration, focus and continuity by involving and integrating the diverse interests in the community on a shared and long-term agenda for Windsor Center.

    Mr. Martin thanked the Council and the Town Staff, in particular Jim Burke, for their support of him and First Town Downtown. For more information go to the website www.firsttowndowntown.org.

  1. Public Communications and Petitions

Ms. Beverly Jones, 1171 Matianack Avenue, spoke about the One Connecticut presentation. Revenues are certainly a problem, but there are also ways to cut spending. The State employee’s can accumulate two years of vacation and can add it to their pension formula. The contracts need to be changed. It is in her opinion that people hired today for State jobs should be hired under a different contract. There also needs to be an increase in taxes. The more money the government gets, the more it spends. She commended the Council for being careful and setting priorities. Those are things that should happen all the time. We have to be responsible with looking where money is spent.

Motion made by Councilor Jepsen, seconded by Councilor Broxterman to enter into Executive Session at 10:26 p.m. for the following purposes:

  1. Discussion of the selection of a site or a lease, sale or purchase of real estate
