  1. Public Communications and Petitions

    Mr. Edward Thomas, 192 Capen Street, commented on the football field. He spoke against artificial turf for the football fields. He feels that artificial turf costs too much. The mission of the high school is to prepare our young people for life. Sports are a part of the mission, but not the entire mission. Education should be exceptional. He is concerned about increased usage with artificial turf. He also said the track bed is crumbling apart and is an accident waiting to happen.

    Mr. Rick McNamara, 21 Lovell Avenue, spoke about issues concerning the government channel. The channel is important for the government to run. It conveys information to our town. He urged the Council to carefully consider the government channel and fully fund it.

    Ms. Suzanne McNamara, 21 Lovell Avenue, requested the Council to review her information she provided the Council before entering into agreement with WIN-TV.

     

  2. Report of Appointed Boards and Commissions
  1. Board of Education

Ms. Jane Garibay, President, BOE, reported to the Council. This past week over 60 WHS students participated in job shadowing with Windsor and surrounding businesses. There is a Board of Education workshop on kindergarten planning on Tuesday, May 4, at 5:30 p.m. Board member Linda Bagnal’s resignation was accepted. High school graduation is on June 22, 2004. Ms. Garibay reviewed the results from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NESAC) Committee’s report. A report from the 5th and 6th Grade Transition Committee was received with short and long-term goals. The meal plan will be going up $.25 at all levels. It is the first increase in ten years. The Board voted to voice to Council that artificial turf was not a high level priority at this time.

Councilor Dean asked if the 5th and 6th Grade Transition Committee set dates for the goals. Ms. Garibay responded that the short-term goals would be completed by the fall. Councilor Dean asked about the teacher centered classroom approach. Ms. Garibay said that instead of an interactive hands on classroom, teacher centered classroom approach is more of a lecture based approach with the teacher talking and the students taking notes.

Councilor Mulligan asked about the students who worked with sculptor Lon Pelton to build a monument to 9/11. Ms. Garibay responded that the dedication ceremony is on May 21, 2004.

Councilor Jepsen asked about the practice where some school districts push off their problem students to other districts. Ms. Garibay said that if a student in another district does something wrong and is expelled and then moves to another district, one BOE could uphold another BOE’s expulsion decision. She noted that such difficult to pursue legally.
 

  1. Town Manager’s Report

    Recreation & Leisure Services Director Honored for Extraordinary Contributions

    It is my pleasure to announce that the Business Institute for Revenue Development and Management honored Paul Norris, Director of Recreation and Leisure services this past March for his extraordinary contributions to the School.

    Paul served as the 2004 Chairperson of the Board of Regents.

    The Business Institute is a one-week school sponsored and presented by North Carolina State University and the National Recreation and Parks Association.

    Signal at Route 218 and Columbia Road

    The CT Department of Transportation is expediting the work for the installation of the signal at Route 218 and Columbia Road. Information received from the DOT indicates that they will be starting the construction of the new entrance to the Commuter Parking Lot within the next two weeks. This entrance is part of the overall signal work to be done at this intersection.

    Community Development Block Grant

    The Town of Windsor was awarded $300,000 through the Community Development Block Grant - Small Cities Program for the continuation of the Town's Housing Rehabilitation Program. This is a federal program administered through the Connecticut Department of Economic & Community Development. The Town's Housing Rehabilitation Program provides financial and technical assistance to eligible households for the correction of housing code violations, cost-effective energy conservation improvements, modifications for handicapped accessibility and the removal of hazardous materials (lead-based paint, asbestos and underground fuel storage tanks). In order to qualify one's household income must be at or below 80% of the area median, adjusted for household size. Other factors are considered in the loan review process. Information and applications are available by contacting the Office of Community Development at 298-9060.

    May Reminders

    I would like to provide the following reminders of upcoming programs and services scheduled for the month of May. Details on these and all other scheduled events can be found in the town’s publication, "There’s a lot to do in Windsor," or on the town’s website at www.townofwindsorct.com.

    May 8th: Windsor residents can enjoy free dumping privileges at the landfill from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

    May 15: In addition to Windsor’s annual Shad Derby Festival, May 15th is also Household Hazardous Waste Day from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the MDC Water Pollution Control Facility at 1222 Poquonock Avenue.

    May 22nd: The Annual Rabies Vaccination Clinic will take place at the L.P. Wilson Community Center from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

    Also, throughout the month of May, and until mosquito-breeding season ends, mosquito "dunks" are available free of charge from the Windsor Health Department.

    Again, detailed information on all these announcements can be found on the town’s website and in the summer edition of the town brochure, which was recently delivered to Windsor residents.

    CEA & WEA Support Kid’s Safety Fair

    As plans for the June 5th Kid’s Safety Fair are being finalized, the Windsor Education Association and the Connecticut Education Association recently donated a generous contribution in the amount of $500.00. We would like to acknowledge the generosity of the WEA and CEA toward this event and for their continuing support of the children of Windsor.

    Councilor Jepsen asked about the breakdown of money that the town has given to SummerWind for support, specifically the $53,000. Town Manger Churchill responded that it was part of a small town economic assistance grant that the town applied for a few years ago. The decision was made about a year ago to draw down on those funds consistent with their intent.

    Councilor Simon asked if the $100,000 was for capital requirements, how did SummerWind get to use it for loan payments it couldn’t make. Town Manager Churchill said that the actual debt was for construction and its capital needs. Councilor Simon added that if they couldn’t pay the loan and the town had to, the money is already encumbered in the general fund.

    Councilor Walker asked if the income requirements for renovation assistance could be posted on the town website and he requested an update on the paving of Corey Street. Town Manager Churchill said that the information could be posted. Mr. Tom Lenehan, Town Engineer, said the existing sidewalks are being removed from Corey Street this week. The sidewalks need to be completed along with the driveway aprons and then they will complete the final paving course.

  2. Unfinished Business
  1. Authorize Town Manager to Enter Into a Delegation Agreement with WIN-TV

Moved by Councilor Walker, seconded by Councilor Dean to approve the delegation agreement attached herein between Windsor Community Television, Inc. and the Town of Windsor and authorize the Town Manager to sign the agreement.

The Special Projects Committee met on April 22, 2004 to review the original agreement and the amendment. They combined the amendments to the original agreement and approved the newly formed agreement. Councilor Walker gave the highlights of the new agreement.

Moved by Councilor Ellingwood, seconded by Councilor Broxterman to take a five-minute recess at 8:55 p.m.

Motion Passed 9-0-0

Councilors Walker and Dean withdrew their motion.

Councilor Walker said that they need documented proof that the entire board of WIN-TV is in agreement with the proposed agreement as redrafted by the Town Attorney.

Councilor Simon said that we don’t need to receive documented proof, they will approve the agreement if they wish to. If we like the agreement, we should accept it, if we don’t we shouldn’t accept it.

Councilor Jepsen has trouble with the agreement as it stands. His concern is that government has editorial control.
 

  1. New Business
  1. Authorize the waiving of bids for the construction of public improvements from Day Hill Road to Great Pond Drive and authorize the Town Manager to negotiate and execute construction agreements

    Moved by Deputy Mayor Curtis, seconded by Councilor Broxterman that the Town Council, pursuant to Section 5-2(d) of the Town Charter, authorize the waiving of bids for the purchase of road, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, and water line improvements as described in the Agreement Re: Sanitary Sewer and Storm Drainage Construction between ADVO, Inc. and the Town of Windsor.

    Mr. Jim Burke, Economic Development Director, gave an overview. ADVO, Inc. has requested assistance from the town’s Economic Development Incentive Program (EDIP) to construct a fire lane, water line and sanitary sewer. The project will support the development of a 165,000 square foot production and office facility at 235 Great Pond Drive. The estimated cost for the project is between $255,000 and $333,000.

    Under the EDIP guidelines, the town expects to recoup its investment in the form of new tax dollars within an appropriate time. The new annual real estate taxes from the proposed building are estimated to exceed $280,000. This would permit the town to recover the project cost over a one to two year period.

    On January 5, 2004, the Town Council approved ADVO’s request for financial assistance. They authorized an appropriation of $340,000 and the issuance of bonds to finance the appropriation. Before the funds appropriated by the Town Council may be disbursed for this project, the town must accept an easement for the improvements and approve an agreement for their construction. The Town Attorney has reviewed and approved them.

    Councilor Simon questioned how much it is costing them for construction. He is concerned that we are approving $332,000 and the costs could be less than that. He doesn’t want to pay them more than the job would cost. Mr. Burke replied that ADVO, Inc. will submit the costs to the Town Engineer and he will then submit them for payment. He said we could amend the agreement to include that. Town Manager Churchill said that we can make the amendment this evening or withdraw the motion.

    Councilor Simon suggested withdrawing the motion and getting the agreement corrected.

    Councilor Broxterman said the agreement needs to address two issues, not to exceed $332,000 and to pay the actual costs.

    Councilor Mulligan asked if the $340,000 included bonding costs. Town Manager Churchill said that bonding costs are the difference between $332,000 and $340,000.

    Deputy Mayor Curtis and Councilor Broxterman withdrew the motion.
     

  2. Approve easement for public improvements from Day Hill Road to Great Pond Drive

    No action taken. Item withdrawn from agenda.
     

  3. Authorize the Town Manager to sign an agreement with the State of Connecticut for sharing the cost of the installation of Emergency Vehicle Pre-Emption System Equipment at the intersection of Rainbow Road and Route 75

    Moved by Councilor Broxterman, seconded by Councilor Jepsen that the Town Council approve the Town Manager, R. Leon Churchill, Jr. to sign the required agreement between the State of Connecticut and the Town of Windsor for Sharing the Cost of the Installation of Emergency Vehicle Pre-Emption System Equipment and all costs associated with maintenance of the equipment after installation as part of the traffic signal replacement at the intersection of Route 75 (Poquonock Avenue) at Rainbow Road (State Project No. 171-294).

    Mr. Duane Martin, Project Engineer, gave an overview of the installation. The Connecticut Department of Transportation is currently designing the traffic signal replacement at the intersection of Route 75 (Poquonock Avenue) at Rainbow Road under State Project No. 171-294. The Department asked the Town of Windsor to decide whether it wants to install emergency vehicle pre-emption equipment as part of this design for the traffic signal replacement. The equipment is all ready on the fire trucks.

    There will be a $900 fee, which is required by the Connecticut Department of Transportation for installation of all required emergency vehicle pre-emption equipment. Funding is available from the Department of Public Works budget. The town will be required to coordinate all necessary maintenance to the equipment after it is installed.

    Councilor Broxterman explained that this allows the emergency vehicle to push a button and change the traffic light.

    Councilor Mulligan asked how many of these are installed in town. Mr. Martin responded that there are currently 23 signalized intersections.

    Motion Passed 8-0-0 (Mayor Trinks was out of the room)
     

  4. Authorize the Town Manager to execute a contract with the State of Connecticut for a grant from the Department of Children and Family Services

    Moved by Councilor Walker, seconded by Councilor Dean that R. Leon Churchill, Jr., Town Manager is authorized to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of this

    organization a certain contract with the State of Connecticut Department of Children and Families, for a three year grant in the amount of $47,811 to be given to the town on an annual basis.

    Town Manager Churchill reviewed the grant. This grant will help to support the town’s Parent Center activities and "Parents as Teachers" home visit support program through Start Smart, a program of Healthy People.

    Councilor Jepsen asked where this revenue would show in the budget or if it is an enterprise fund. Ms. Robin Newman, Director of Family and Leisure Services replied that the revenue would show under the Healthy People section of the budget.

    Motion Passed 9-0-0
     

  5. Set a Public Hearing for Neighborhood Assistance Act Tax Credit Program to be held on June 7, 2004 at 7:15 p.m.

    Moved by Councilor Walker, seconded by Councilor Broxterman that a Public Hearing be set for June 7, 2004, at 7:15 p.m. (prevailing time) in the Council Chambers of the Windsor Town Hall, regarding the Neighborhood Assistance Act Tax Credit Program.

    Town Manager Churchill gave an overview of the program. The Town of Windsor is in the process of soliciting applications from eligible organizations. Last year six organizations submitted applications to the town and three of those organizations were successful in leveraging $110,250 in private donations.

    Motion Passed 9-0-0
     

  6. Approve resolution to participate in Cities for Climate Protection Campaign

Moved by Councilor Broxterman, seconded by Deputy Mayor Curtis that the Town of Windsor agrees to participate in the Cities for Climate Protection Campaign and will promote public awareness regarding ways to reduce greenhouse gas and air pollution emissions.

Assistant Town Manager Peter Souza gave an overview. There is no membership cost associated with joining the Cities for Climate Protection Campaign. There is a $600 cost for the purchase of software to complete the inventory and forecasting model. Minimal staff time is anticipated, as the campaign will provide the town a graduate intern for the coming summer to complete the inventory and assessment. It is purely voluntary at this time. Connecticut jurisdictions participating are Bridgeport, Fairfield, Hamden, Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, Windham and the Central Connecticut Regional Planning Agency.

Councilor Simon asked what kinds of activities might be recommended as a result from this assessment. Assistant Town Manager Souza replied that promoting mass transit opportunities, encouraging recycling, and looking at alternative energy sources are some of the strategies used to reduce emissions.

Councilor Dean asked what the reporting requirement is. Assistant Town Manager Souza said the DEP is not collecting such data at the local level at this point. We would utilize the information as an internal measurement or benchmark.

Councilor Ellingwood inquired whom they are affiliated with. Assistant Town Manager Souza responded that the Cities for Climate Protection Campaign are a loosely affiliated group of organizations involved in environmental initiatives. Councilor Ellingwood requested more information on the group.

Councilor Mulligan is concerned that it would seem this is an issue that is more appropriately suited for a state agency rather than individual communities.

Councilor Simon suggests that rather than wait for higher government, there are things as individuals we can do, things that as a municipality that we can do to improve the environment. With enough people making improvements, it adds up.

Councilor Dean asked who will maintain this after this year. Assistant Town Manager Souza stated that the intern is paid for by the organization. The software was last upgraded 18 months ago. His expectation is that once the model and software is set up, we would work with existing staff to enter and maintain the database information.

Councilor Jepsen asked if we can buy the software without joining this group. Assistant Town Manager Souza said that the EPA offers software but the key part of joining this group is accessing additional public education materials and obtaining an intern for the project. Councilor Jepsen is concerned that this group has ulterior motives like the Toronto goals.

Councilor Broxterman will support this and is skeptical that without local participation, the State is not going to act. All we are asking them to do is collect data, data that we will have to act on if we choose to.

Councilor Mulligan is concerned with the additional work the organization is requiring. He asked if the EPA or DEP has software. Assistant Town Manager Souza state the EPA does have a software program but he is unaware of its complexity. He further stated that it is up to the town to set the timeline and reduction target. We are currently looking at initiatives like alternatively fueled vehicles, energy efficient buildings and alternative sources of energy. This process would establish a benchmark and prepare for any regulations forthcoming from the EPA or DEP.

Councilor Walker asked who chooses the grad student. Assistant Town Manager Souza said that the International Council chooses the grad student, which in past years have been from Yale or UCONN. Councilor Walker said that at our Council Retreat, one of our goals was to encourage development of a "green policy".

Deputy Mayor Curtis understands that this could reach political levels. But for him, it’s an opportunity for networking and discussing our concern about the environment. If we don’t like it, we can opt out at any point.

Motion Passed 8-1-0 (with Councilor Jepsen opposing)

 

Moved by Deputy Mayor Curtis, seconded by Councilor Simon to move Item 16 (c) to this point in the agenda and enter into Executive Session for the purpose of:

Mr. John Berky, 21 Juniper Road, Executive Director, SummerWind, addressed the Town Council. There will be seven concerts this year. They will announce the schedule to the public on May 13th, most likely in the Calendar section of the Hartford Courant. They are planning on starting their season with Blood, Sweat & Tears with a fireworks presentation. They are looking for a way that the tickets can be sold through area businesses. All of the acts are Grammy Award winners. There will not be a canopy over SummerWind this year because of issues over insurance.

 

Moved by Councilor Jepsen, seconded by Councilor Dean, to amend the agenda to add item 12. I. Celebrate Windsor to appear at this point in the agenda.

 

Councilor Simon doesn’t think it’s wise to add an agenda item at 10:50 p.m., he suggests that it be added to the next agenda.

Councilor Mulligan feels that we can’t give the item justice at this hour. He suggests withdrawing the motion and putting it on the agenda for the next meeting.
