Upon a SHOW-OF-HANDS vote being taken, the Chair declared MOTION #5421 adopted 9-0-0.
DISCUSSION RE: VOTING MACHINES
Mr. Shanley noted the Registrar of Voters provided documentation. He noted according to the Registrar the maintenance would be free on site for five years. He explained other costs not reflected include the program for each election and the cost of the ballots (between $8,000 and $9,000 per election). He stated those monies are not currently budgeted, therefore, it would be an appropriation for this in order to initiate this each year.
Councilman Kaupin questioned whether this company could actually deliver these machines and provide adequate training two months before the election.
Mr. Shanley clarified he is not advocating this transaction this year.
Councilman Kaupin questioned whether the Registrars could go back to the company to learn what the normal lead time is and what the training system is. He stated his belief this is too narrow of a window. He added he would like to see different types of quotes and what the lead time is.
Councilman Kaupin requested clarification on “party line voting”. Mr. Shanley explained the Connecticut ballot is now arranged by party, many states have moved to ballot arrangement by office.
Councilman Kaupin stated perhaps this is something they could discuss with their legislators and CCM. He questioned the per ballot cost, and Mr. Shanley responded approximately $.35.
Councilman Fiore agreed with Councilman Kaupin in that he feels its too short a period to have these on line for November.
Councilman Egan agreed and noted this is something a lot of towns have not gotten into yet. She added her belief the legislators will be taking this up in full force. She pointed out there may be some funding involved with helping towns update their equipment.
Councilman Falk questioned if theres an actual comparison cost between the new system and whats being used today. Mr. Shanley noted that has been discussed, however, theres a lack of clarity. He added they are trying to get that information. Councilman Falk suggested perhaps they could check with the Registrars regarding this.
Councilman Vayda emphasized the importance of training and communication with the public regarding this. He questioned whether this is to be a state-wide thing. Mr. Shanley stated his understanding legislation was passed that allows for this technology, and this is the only vendor approved thus far.
Councilman Vayda stated his belief the Council needs to be sure the legislators understand that the Town is concerned about this issue and its the Towns belief that the voting should be handled in a similar fashion throughout the state.
Chairman Strom stated her belief the sentiment of the Council is that they do not want to rush into this.
MOTION #5422 by Councilman Kaupin, seconded by Councilman Hall to remove Item d. from the table.
Upon a SHOW-OF-HANDS vote being taken, the Chair declared MOTION #5422 adopted 9-0-0.
DISCUSSION RE: CHARGE FOR ENFIELD REVITALIZATION AND RELATED COMMITTEES
Present for this discussion was Chairman Bill Lee.
Councilman Fiore questioned the time line for the Main Street Program. Mr. Lee stated the Main Street Program accepts applications each spring, and they make their selection in the fall.
Councilman Giddings proposed this Committee be called the Enfield Revitalization Strategy Committee. He added his belief this charge definitely shows a focus towards strategy rather than bricks and mortar.
Councilman Kaupin stated theres still an aspect for bricks and mortar within the Committee. He noted although its narrowly focused in key areas, it is broad enough to really make a big impact. He added the bricks and mortar piece is an element thats present. He stated hes happy with the proposed charge, and feels it will keep the varied members really involved whereby the members could key into the specific areas of interest to them.
Councilman Kaupin stated he can envision the Committee working with Economic Development and Planning & Zoning and making recommendations to those bodies.
Councilman Tait agreed with Councilman Giddings regarding the name change. He added his belief this group has to be tied to Ray Warrens department as well because he believes economic development is revitalization.
Councilman Hall stated she was pleased to see a reference to the 1999 Plan of Conservation and Development. She questioned what they had in mind regarding Item d. Mr. Lee stated the creation of “not for profit” corporations or organizations would make for an easier process.
Chairwoman Strom questioned if it would be helpful to appoint a liaison from the Planning & Zoning Commission, or a liaison from the Revitalization Committee to the Economic Development Committee. Mr. Lee agreed that would be helpful.
Councilman Fiore recommended appointing Planning & Zoning, Economic Development and Beautification Commission liaisons to this Committee. He added he still believes they need to set a maximum of voting members per voting district. He noted in this way no one voting district can have more than one-third or one-quarter of the members. He emphasized the need to have a balanced commission.
Chairwoman Strom suggested if there are any other ideas, they should be forwarded to the Town Manager.
MOTION #5423 by Councilman Falk, seconded by Councilman Fiore to table this item.
Upon a SHOW-OF-HANDS vote being taken, the Chair declared MOTION #5423 adopted 9-0-0.
DISCUSSION RE: MAYORAL APPOINTMENTS/EMS COMMITTEE
Chairwoman Strom stated the Committee itself is made up of two Council liaisons (Jack Tait and Carol Hall); one Town Official staff person (Daniel Vindigni); the Chief of Police, the Enfield Fire Chiefs Association representative (Earl Provencher); a John Maciolek American Legion Post representative (Stanley Halgas); two Town of Enfield resident (Thomas Yakoubian and Everett Gamble). She noted the only position not filled is a Johnson Memorial Hospital representative.
There was a consensus of the Council to accept these appointments.
DISCUSSION RE: DRAINAGE/HEAD START BUILDING
Mr. Shanley stated it was requested this item be put on the agenda as a result of the activity of the School Building Committee. He noted that Committee approved a drainage plan for the Head Start building, which was not the drainage plan recommended by engineering staff. He stated there was a feeling that because the work fell outside of the physical scope of the project and would not have been reimbursable, it was not the role of the School Building Committee to do the work, and if the work needed to be done, it should be paid for and done by the Town. He noted the Council has before them a document from Jeter, Cook & Jepson.
Councilman Tait stated his belief the solution to the problem is a 24” pipe off of the high school. He noted nearby residents want to correct the runoff from this area.
Councilman Vayda agreed this problem should be properly addressed. He recommended being very careful with this. He stated he would be inclined to proceed with funding this through another avenue so that they dont deplete the resources of the School Building Committee.
Mr. Shanley clarified the Town did do work on Riverview in the last couple years before there were plans to build a Head Start building in this area. He pointed out the problem that had existed for many years was in large part resolved by the work the Town did. He noted this current project is perceived to be generating a new problem.
Councilman Egan stated her belief while they are doing the work, they should address problems properly.
Chairwoman Strom stated if the Town is taking care of a drainage problem and then just tying Head Start into it, they would not need to deduct that from referendum funds. Mr. Shanley noted this question should be addressed to Bond Counsel.
Councilman Hall stated the drainage engineer for Jeter, Cook & Jepson specifically stated that building Head Start on that field would drastically improve the drainage conditions for the people on Riverview. She noted it might be helpful to have this engineer or the Building Committee come before the Council to explain the reasoning on the drainage.
Councilman Falk stated the Towns engineering department was somewhat involved in this, and he would like to hear the thoughts and recommendations of the Towns department. He stated his belief a lot of details need to be worked out before a final decision can be made, particularly as relates to cost and who is paying for what.
Councilman Tait noted after talking with residents in this area, he learned the improvements made by the Town helped considerably, but did not eliminate the problem. He questioned whether this could be phrased as a “pre-existing condition”. Mr. Shanley stated if they get to the point where they have to ask Bond Counsel, theyll simply lay out specifically and factually what the situation is as it exists and how its impacted by this and then let Bond Counsel tell them whether or not it is or is not part of the project.
Chairwoman Strom stated her belief it might be necessary to have a special meeting prior to going to Planning & Zoning. Mr. Shanley stated they will look to get more clarity from Jeter, Cook & Jepson on the specifics of the engineering and what exactly would need to be accomplished. He noted as soon as thats known, they will let leadership know, and they can decide whether they want to call a Special Meeting.
DISCUSSION RE: SUSAN CIRCLE
Mr. Shanley stated he met with Mr. and Mrs. Weigel today and discussed some of the items which were raised under Public Communications this evening. He noted the total overall cost is estimated at about $110,000 and about 80% of that is specifically for the Weigels property. He stated the Inlands/Wetlands Agency is considering the application to do this work at their September 4th meeting. He noted if the application is approved, the Town will be able to bid the project in a couple weeks and be looking to award a bid in October. He stated his understanding DEP wont move on the project until they have documentation of secured funding of the two-thirds, which is the local requirement. He noted at that point they would then go to the Bond Commission, however, he does not know the time frame for that. He stated they are now at the point where they need to make a final decision as to what the local two-thirds is and what that commitment is going to be. He noted they discussed the one-third option with the opportunity to exercise the Towns authority as a Flood and Erosion Control Board to assess or lien the property. He stated the Weigels offered the suggestion of purchasing the home.
Chairwoman Strom stated the Council was concerned about setting a precedent and the need for some kind of policy. She stated her belief the one-third option with a lien on the property seemed to be a possibility. She agreed a decision has to be made soon.
Councilman Kaupin stated if they did go with a lien, what would the process be after the fact and how would this effect the value to the property. Attorney Bromson stated he would like to look into the law regarding liening the property to see if there are any restrictions under the State law under which theyre proceeding.
Chairwoman Strom questioned if there always needs to be interest, and Attorney Bromson responded no, unless the State law designates that.
Councilman Falk spoke about the need to draft a policy.
Chairwoman Strom stated her belief the Weigels property is definitely unique in that their house is definitely being effected, and its creating more and more of a dangerous situation as each month goes by. She noted there are a lot of problems along the Scantic River and with the escarpment areas, however, there is not another situation thats presenting this kind of danger to the people living on the property. She stated her hope the Council would look at this as a very unique situation. She agreed the Council does need to set a policy, however, they need to move promptly on this particular piece of property.
Attorney Bromson stated they would not be able to establish a Town-wide policy in a timely fashion to address this situation. He stated he feels comfortable the Town is not setting a broad policy as long as within the resolution its clearly understood that this is an emergency situation. He went on to suggest that whatever the Town offers should be offered to both homeowners, i.e., the one-third option. He noted he will look at the law regarding the lien. He stated he does not believe this is going to establish a legal precedent that now binds the Town to help all individuals in similar situations or in situations that they believe are similar.
Councilman Vayda questioned if in their policy discussion they can include any impact that might have occurred as a result of the court case that went on with respect to the development. Attorney Bromson indicated that could be mentioned in the resolution.
Councilman Tait stated his belief this should be an interest free lien since this is no fault of the property owner.
Councilman Fiore questioned where the $110,000 will come from. Mr. Shanley stated it could be appropriated from Contingency. He added they could set up a general ledger account because its really a loan.
Councilman Fiore raised the possibility of setting up a special fund for the future to assist homeowners to salvage their situation under emergency situations.
