Also, whether there have been negotiations held and/or concessions made and what the town’s position is on this. He also asked if the citizens can get an accounting of the cost of the gas collection system at the landfill from September 2003 to the present including all associated costs such as: the flare rental, the large propane tank, propane usage, generators, odor masking chemicals, sprayers, rented equipment, the cost of Fuss & O’Neill’s participation with it, employee overtime (including Sunday monitoring), etc. Mr. Yeramian asked if there are any calculations of the loss of landfill capacity because of the necessity for excessive cover and capping.

Donation Recognized

The Healthy People Strategy Team and Start Smart staff would like to thank the Windsor Education Association for their donation of $3,000, which will be used to purchase books for Windsor's Start Smart program. Start Smart staff currently provides home visits to 111 families in town. During these visits, members of the staff encourage adults to read to their children, and books are distributed to the families. This generous donation will enable staff to continue to purchase books for their families.

Main Library Renovation/Expansion Update

In the coming weeks you may notice some construction around the Mather House (the colonial portion of the Main Library). The Mather House will be sealed off from the newer section of the library in preparation for the library renovation so staff offices can remain there during construction.

 

 

Fire Department Grant

The Windsor Volunteer Fire Department has again this year been awarded a grant from the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA. The federal grant will be in the amount of $60,000, with the town being responsible for a 10% local match. The $66,000 will allow the fire department to purchase an integrated accountability system that will assist in keeping track of firefighters while they are performing interior firefighting in residential and commercial buildings. These units are a module that is attached to the self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBAs) purchased last year with federal funds.

Appointment of Fire Chief

I am pleased to announce the reappointment of William Lewis as Fire Chief of the Windsor Volunteer Fire Department. Chief Lewis has led the Windsor Fire Department since November 2000 and has continued the efforts of past Chiefs Greg Malloy and Dale Smith to achieve a unified town-wide department. Bill has facilitated a number of changes over the past fours years including:

  • Creating a new command structure with town-wide officers
  • Reducing the number of fire vehicles
  • Reassigning apparatus to meet town-wide needs
  • Creating a town-wide training program
  • Increasing use of technology to improve communication
  • Receiving federal funding to replace and upgrade firefighter safety equipment

Chief Lewis has been a volunteer firefighter since 1970, serving in a variety of command positions. Over the years, Bill has been intricately involved in many facets of the department, including assisting in the construction of the new Wilson Fire Station and the purchase of fire equipment and apparatus. He is retired from the Connecticut State Police. He is a State of Connecticut Certified Fire Marshal and a nationally certified fire investigator. Bill is currently Fire Marshal for the Blue Hills Fire District.

One of the primary goals for the department during the next year will be the completion of a multi-year strategic plan. This plan will focus on identifying department strengths and key focus areas for the coming years.

I am confident that under Chief Lewis’ leadership the Windsor Volunteer Fire Department will continue to provide high quality fire and emergency services. Many thanks to Chief Lewis, his family, as well as to the department’s volunteers for their dedication to the fire service and the Windsor community.

Resolved by Deputy Mayor Curtis, seconded by Councilor Jepsen that the reading into the text of the ordinance entitled, "AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR THE TOWN OF WINDSOR" is hereby waived, the full text of the ordinances 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

Mr. James Burke, Economic Development Director reviewed the ordinance.

The TIF plan approved a few years ago was specifically meant for a list of properties and he requested the list. Mr. Burke reviewed the properties. The 33 Mechanic Street, Plaza Building, Tobacco Valley Inn property, redevelopment parcel Windsor Avenue, 156 Windsor Avenue, Flamingo Inn, Town of Windsor Parks Building, Parking Lot at Maple and Broad Street, parcel north of 457 Windsor Avenue, property next to the Citgo at 581 Windsor Avenue, and the Hayden Station School House.

Councilor Simon asked if the Redevelopment Agency has any independent decision making authority. Mr. Burke replied that they do not, except to decide what to recommend to the Council.

Councilor Dean asked what happens if it is a company outside of town, how would we perform due diligence to find out if they have delinquent taxes. Mr. Burke said that we could perform a credit check.

Councilor Walker requested that Mr. Burke report the projected unit values if the property is developed to its full potential with housing units. Mr. Burke said that the developers are estimating that the total project will be $8 million. The lower end of the selling price is $150,000.

Councilor Ellingwood asked if the name of the organization implies some sort of subsidized housing. Mr. Burke said that the corporation is called Independent Living. They are looking to replace federal and state funds to their organization, therefore they are looking to complete one of these projects once a year for profit to support their non-profit organization. They have stated that this is specifically not a focused affordable or special needs project. Councilor Ellingwood asked for the definition of the risk to Windsor. Mr. Burke said that the risk is that because it is not backed by full faith and credit, it would be difficult to find someone to buy the bonds. It shouldn’t be a problem, but it is riskier than a general obligation fund. The only risk to the town credit is that if the town had a number of revenue type projects, they can say that there is not good management of financial decision making, they could not go after general funds. There is not a direct risk to the taxpayers.

Councilor Mulligan asked for clarification of the square feet. Mr. Burke replied that they are 1,600s square feet at $140 per square foot.

Mayor Trinks referred to the Town Charter and discussed the removal of members and asked if they are accountable to the Town Council. Town Manager Souza said that they serve at the pleasure of the Town Council.

Councilor Jepsen asked if the developer would prepare the redevelopment plans. Mr. Burke said that staff will prepare those, but it could come from the developer, with approval by the staff.

Councilor Walker commented that we get around our fears by selecting members with integrity. We need to move forward to initiate some improvements to these properties.

Councilor Broxterman said that the school board has authorities that we don’t rule over anymore, dictated by the State of Connecticut. He personally thinks that the amount of influence or control that we do have is enough to ensure that they have the same interest in the town that we do. These projects need to be up and producing tax revenue.

Deputy Mayor Curtis said that the issue is that we do have these properties and putting this in place gives us another option, however, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will work. We do have monetary control over this. He is in favor of the motion.

Councilor Simon said that he doesn’t want people getting confused about the Redevelopment Agency making decisions. He asked if the agency would have any right to enact eminent domain. Mr. Burke said they will have no power to exercise eminent domain, however, the Town Council will retain that right.

Councilor Dean said that there is nothing that addresses due diligence in the policy. She asked if there is any way to add it to the policy. Town Manager Souza responded that they could add that and noted that in Section 2, requirements are listed.

Councilor Broxterman said that we do this all the time, in other forms. Had we done due diligence with JDS Interface, it wouldn’t have worked. They are no longer in town and are probably half the organization they used to be. This is a way not to raise residential tax revenues.

Mayor Trinks noted that the ultimate accountability comes back to us.

Moved by Deputy Mayor Curtis, seconded by Councilor Ellingwood to approve an ordinance entitled, "AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR THE TOWN OF WINDSOR".

Motion Passed 8-1-0 (Councilor Jepsen opposed)

    2. None.

  2. New Business
  1. Authorize the Town Manager to execute an agreement with the State of Connecticut for Bio-terrorism Planning Grant

Moved by Councilor Jepsen, seconded by Councilor Broxterman, that it be resolved that the Town Manager, Peter Souza, 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 carry out the services and submit the deliverables as described in contract DPH 2005-1104.

Dr. Charles Petrillo, Director of Health Services, reviewed the funding for year five of the Bio-terrorism Planning Grant.

Councilor Jepsen asked if these funds were in the budget. Dr. Petrillo said that they were unsure of the amount of funds, so they were not included in the budget. The contracted staff will not be paid until funds are available. Dr. Petrillo said that the grant year has been offset. In the next cycle, they want to bring it online with the fiscal year, which will assist us greatly in the planning.

    Town Manager Souza reported that the grant of $21,997 (a $970 reduction over last year) supports case management and health related programs.

    Councilor Walker asked about the reduction and if other towns have received reductions as well. Dr. Petrillo responded that we are one of the few towns in the state receiving this grant. Several towns have been cut from the program.

    Mr. Dennis Shevel, Board of Education, provided an update of the project.

    Councilor Jepsen asked about the numbers for the project. Town Manager Souza said that the amount is $167,000. We would bond the entire project and be reimbursed 50% by the State. Depending on the timing of the project and reimbursements, we may not bond out the whole amount.

    Motion Passed 9-0-0

  4. Resolved that the Windsor Town Council hereby authorizes the preparation of schematic drawings and outline specifications for the Clover Street School Code Compliance Upgrade Project

    5. Moved by Councilor Simon, seconded by Councilor Ellingwood, that it be resolved that the Windsor Town Council hereby authorizes the preparation of schematic drawings and outline specifications for the Clover Street School Code Compliance Upgrade Project.

    7. Moved by Councilor Broxterman, seconded by Councilor Simon, that it be resolved that the Town of Windsor Public Building Commission is hereby designated as the School Building Committee with regard to Roger Wolcott Early Childhood Center Floor Tile Abatement Project.

    Mr. Dennis Shevel, Board of Education, gave an update of the project. It becomes an abatement project in an effort to replace the carpet.

    Councilor Broxterman asked if the carpet could be laid over the old carpet. Mr. Shevel responded that if it were, there would be other problems with shampooing the new carpet and the drying of the old carpet. The carpet will be glued to the concrete floor, new tile will not be installed.

  9. Approve an appropriation of $170,608 from the John F. Kennedy School Floor Tile Abatement Project Account #9321 for the Clover Street Window Replacement Project

    10. Moved by Councilor Ellingwood, seconded by Councilor Broxterman that $170,608 be appropriated from the John F. Kennedy School Floor Tile Abatement Project Account #9321 for the Clover Street Window Replacement Project Account.

    Mr. Dennis Shevel, Board of Education, discussed the project.

    Councilor Mulligan noted that $170,000 is a lot of money to have left over from a project. The original amount was $320,000. Mr. Shevel said that five bids were received, the low was $130,000 by a small contractor who was new and the highest bid exceeded the budget, so the bids were all over the map. The budget is determined by our consultant giving us a cost estimate

    Councilor Simon asked if there were other projects with funds leftover. Mr. Shevel said that the only other project is the L.P. Wilson Gym Project which will have $5-6,000 left over, however it was budgeted from the L.P. Wilson fund so the funds will stay in there.

    Councilor Walker said that it is high time that we replace those windows, it is an energy efficiency concern because we are spending funds for heating with windows that are not efficient. He supports the project, but he has an issue with the reallocation to a specific project. Town Manager Souza said that this Council could decide to use the leftover funds for this project or to return the funds to the capital outlay fund. This is staff’s recommendation to the Council. This is the BOE administration’s highest priority for capital improvement projects. Councilor Walker said that it shouldn’t have come to the Council in this fashion since we are looking for a zero increase budget.

    Councilor Jepsen asked if some windows have been replaced. Mr. Shevel replied that ten years ago the windows that face I-91 have been replaced. They are suggesting that they do the same to the windows on the Clover Street side. He added that last year oil was $0.92 a gallon, with energy efficiency savings of $15,000 a year; oil is now $1.25 a gallon, so the savings would increase to $20-25,000 a year.

    Motion Passed 7-2-0 (Councilors Ellingwood and Dean opposed)

  10. Approve an appropriation of $7,550 from the Sage Park Middle School Gymnasium Floor Abatement Project Account #9324 for the Clover Street School Window Replacement Project

Moved by Councilor Jepsen, seconded by Councilor Broxterman that $7,550 be appropriated from the Sage Park Middle School Gymnasium Floor Abatement Project Account #9324 for the Clover Street School Window Replacement Project Account.

Councilor Broxterman noted that the back of the last page, the Finance Director does certify that the funds are available. Mr. Shevel discussed the project.

Motion Passed 9-0-0

  1. Resignations and Appointments

Moved by Deputy Mayor Curtis, seconded by Councilor Walker to:

  • Accept the resignation Susan Andrews from the Youth Commission
  • Appoint Milo Rusty Peck to the Public Building Commission for a three year unexpired term to expire November 30, 2006 or until a successor is appointed.
