ENFIELD TOWN COUNCIL
MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING
MAY 15, 2002
A Special Meeting of the Enfield Town Council was called to order by Chairman Vayda in the Council Chambers of the Enfield Town Hall, 820 Enfield Street, Enfield, Connecticut on Monday, May 15, 2002 at 7:00 p.m.
ROLL-CALL Present were Councilmen Edgar, Egan, Falk, Fiore, Hall, Kaupin, Mangini, Strom, Tait, and Vayda. Councilman Tallarita entered the meeting at 7:03 p.m. Also present were Town Manager, Scott A. Shanley; Assistant Town Manager, Daniel Vindigni; Town Clerk, Suzanne F. Olechnicki; Director of Finance, Gregory Simmons.
RESOLUTION #5898 by Councilman Mangini, seconded by Councilman Strom.
RESOLVED, that Pages 2, Revenue Summary and 3, Summary of Expenditures, and the item on Page 3 entitled, Total Schools Budget, of the Town Budget, as submitted by the Town Manager for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2002 and ending June 30, 2003 including estimates of receipts and expenditures and recommendations of said Town of Enfield be accepted and approved by the Town Council of the Town of Enfield.
RESOLUTION #5899 by Councilman Tait, seconded by Councilman Hall.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Council of the Town Enfield hereby adopts the Town Managers 2002/2003 Proposed Capital Improvement Plan for budgetary consideration.
AMENDMENT #1 by Councilman Kaupin, seconded by Councilman Tait to amend the Managers proposed 2002-2003 Budget by DECREASING contribution from General Fund as shown on Page 82 in accordance with the following schedule:
FROM TO
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND $2,325,000 $2,045,000
CONTRIBUTION FROM GENERAL FUND
Mr. Shanley explained this reduces the total amount of the General Fund contribution from that which was in the budget book on the Capital page from $2,325,000 to $2,045,000. He explained there is a difference because the $210,000 from the Industrial Park Fund actually goes back to the Industrial Park Fund and becomes a revenue to the General Fund so it is not reduced here.
Referring to the additional amendments by her and Councilman Falk, Councilman Hall questioned if those amendments are not considered in this number. Mr. Shanley responded no, and explained all the amendments and totals are driven by the direction he
received on Monday evening. He noted if any amendments between #8 and #12 are voted in the affirmative, it will be necessary to recess the meeting and re-do the numbers.
Councilman Edgar questioned if theres a decrease of $280,000 and exactly what is that decrease. Mr. Shanley responded the decrease is actually considerably more than that. He noted the revenue page of the capital budget that says $2,325,000 should have read $2.5 million. He noted the original General Fund contribution of $2.6 million dollars was adjusted and thus far the Council has directed him to reduce the Solid Waste vehicle account by $185,000; the Council directed him to reduce $50,000 in architectural and engineering services; the Council directed him to prepare a transfer for the North Maple Street sidewalks, the Council reduced Open Space by $10,000; $25,000 was added to Northgate; the North School project was reduced by $50,000; another $145,000 of existing projects was reclassified to Reserve, and the Council wanted to reduce the General Fund contribution to Reserve. He noted, therefore, in aggregate that brings it from $2.6 million to $2,045,000. He stated the Council sees $2,325,000 because that was the figure seen on the CIP page in the original budget, and that was in error.
Upon a SHOW-OF-HANDS vote being taken, the Chair declared AMENDMENT #1 adopted 8-3-0, with Councilman Edgar, Falk, and Hall voting against the amendment.
AMENDMENT #2 by Councilman Tait, seconded by Councilman Egan to amend the Managers proposed 2002-2003 Budget by INCREASING Capital Fund Balance as shown on Page 82 in accordance with the following schedule:

FROM TO
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS $340,000 $155,000
REFUSE EQUIPMENT
Councilman Falk questioned if this is the front loader. He noted this is a total of $185,000, which includes $110,000 for the front loader, $45,000 from the insurance issue and it includes $30,000 from the tipper barrel reduction.
Councilman Kaupin stated he will be voting against this amendment primarily because its removing the front end loader, although he does support the reductions regarding the insurance and tipper barrels.
Councilmen Fiore, Tallarita, and Edgar agreed with Councilman Kaupin.
Chairman Vayda stated these particular items effects condominium trash pickup. He noted he is the partial owner of a condominium, however, he understands the rule regarding conflict of interest does not preclude him from voting on this because he would not be benefiting any greater than any other person in the same category.
Upon a SHOW-OF-HANDS vote being taken, the Chair declared AMENDMENT #7 adopted 6-5-0, with Councilmen Edgar, Fiore, Hall, Kaupin, and Tallarita voting against the amendment.
Mr. Shanley stated Amendments #8 and #9 were not part of the direction provided to staff recently, however, this is a request from a Council person to add these items for discussion and consideration. He pointed out Amendment #8 and #9 go together.
AMENDMENT #8 by Councilman Hall, seconded by Councilman Fiore to amend the Managers proposed 2002-2003 Budget by INCREASING Capital Fund Balance as shown on Page 82 in accordance with the following schedule:
FROM TO
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND $402,000 $537,000
CAPITAL FUND BALANCE
Councilman Falk stated this was his request because if they are postponing the front loader in this years budget, he feels the allocation set aside for last year should be eliminated as well in that the total truck should be part of the next budget. He explained this resolution takes the $135,000 that was allocated last year and transfers it the Capital Fund and reduces the contribution from the General Fund towards the Capital Fund and this would have a definite impact on the mill rate by $135,000. He stated his belief this is a tough year, and they need to make some tough choices. He pointed out theyre talking about making some drastic cuts in other areas of the budget.
Councilman Kaupin voiced his opposition to this amendment. He noted a year ago the Council voted to move forward to pick up refuse at condominiums. He feels it would be more fiscally prudent to leave the money in the budget so that they can finish off the funding in the next budget cycle so that this program can move forward.
Councilman Tait agreed with Councilman Kaupin. He feels a commitment was made by the Council and future Councils need to carry on with that commitment.
Councilman Mangini agreed with Councilman Falk. She noted this is a difficult budget year.
Upon a SHOW-OF-HANDS vote being taken, the Chair declared AMENDMENT #8 defeated by a 3-8-0 vote, with Councilmen Egan, Falk, and Mangini voting in favor of the amendment.
AMENDMENT #9 This amendment was skipped.
AMENDMENT #10 by Councilman Fiore, seconded by Councilman Mangini to amend the Managers proposed 2002-2003 Budget by DECREASING Account #3700-8708-730 as shown on Page 137 in accordance with the following schedule:
FROM TO
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND $150,000 $0
HIGHWAY EQUIPMENT
Mr. Shanley stated Amendments #10, #11, and #12 were not part of the direction provided to staff recently, however, this is a request from a Council person to add these items for discussion and consideration.
Councilman Hall stated these three amendments were at her request. She noted this particular capital improvement fund contains a dump truck and a bobcat purchase for Public Works. She noted she proposed this particular amendment to make up for the leaf
pick-up which is proposed to be removed. She explained shes advocating for keeping the leaf pick-up in place, in lieu of buying some Public Works equipment this year. She
noted she has a very hard time justifying taking away a service and purchasing equipment for Public Works that could be delayed for a year. She pointed out if the Council does not want to support taking this out in order to keep the leaf pick-up service, it could be accomplished in either Amendment #11 or #12.
Councilman Mangini agreed they shouldnt be taking services away, but she believes if the Council goes along with this amendment and denies Public Works the equipment they need to do their job properly, they are taking service away from citizens.
Upon a SHOW-OF-HANDS vote being taken, the Chair declared AMENDMENT #10 defeated by a 2-9-0 vote, with Councilmen Edgar and Hall voting in favor of the amendment.
AMENDMENT #11 by Councilman Mangini, seconded by Councilman Edgar to amend the Managers proposed 2002-2003 Budget by INCREASING Account #3900-8709-730 as shown on Page 138 in accordance with the following schedule:
FROM TO
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND $0 $110,000
REFUSE EQUIPMENT
Mr. Shanley explained this amendment would add back $110,000 which was removed in an earlier amendment and adds the condo truck back into the capital budget.
Councilman Fiore stated although he would like to move forward with condo trash pickup, he will vote against this because this is a tough year.
Upon a SHOW-OF-HANDS vote being taken, the Chair declared AMENDMENT #11
defeated 3-8-0, with Councilmen Edgar, Hall, and Kaupin voting in favor of the amendment.
AMENDMENT #12 by Councilman Edgar, seconded by Councilman Kaupin to amend the Managers proposed 2002-2003 Budget by DECREASING Account #3900-8709-730 as shown on Page 138 in accordance with the following schedule:
FROM TO
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND $155,000 $0
REFUSE EQUIPMENT
Councilman Hall questioned if this is the side loading refuse truck, and Mr. Shanley responded that is correct.
Councilman Hall questioned if this is voted on in the affirmative, would it take out the proposed garbage truck. Mr. Shanley explained it would remove the $155,000 side loading refuse truck.
Councilman Hall questioned if this is removed, the Town could still pay for the leaf pick up this year. She pointed out the Town does have two new refuse trucks coming on line this year. She stated her understanding the Town is on a plan to purchase one refuse truck per year to replace old equipment. She noted her aim is not to cut the leaf service, but rather to put off the purchase of a refuse truck for one year. She stated her understanding the side loading truck with tipper barrels was to ease workers compensation claims. She pointed out there will be a lot of work involved in physically lifting multiple bags of leaves, especially if it rains and the leaves become wet.
Councilman Edgar stated he would like to push this back one year. He noted the proof that this can be done is that there are two refuse trucks coming on line this year. He stated his belief this will help to reduce the mill rate.
Councilman Falk stated hes supporting the amendment for a number of reasons. He noted this truck does nothing to address workers compensation issues since workers are still lifting heavy barrels. He noted the only way something like this would work is if Enfield had a mandatory tipper barrel program.
Councilman Fiore stated his belief delaying the purchase of equipment can lead to problems later on.
Upon a SHOW-OF-HANDS vote being taken, the Chair declared AMENDMENT #12 defeated 3-8-0, with Councilmen Edgar, Falk, and Hall voting in favor of the amendment.
AMENDMENT #12A by Councilman Falk, seconded by Councilman Hall to amend the Managers proposed 2002-2003 Budget by DECREASING Account #3600-08818-0450, which is the World War II Monument.
FROM TO
WW II Monument $150,000 $105,000
Councilman Falk stated this is in the budget for $150,000, and the Council reappropriated $75,000, and this is a total of $225,000. He noted when the Committee came before the Council early last fall, they had an estimate of approximately $130,000 to erect this monument. He stated they then got into discussions about soil, water, consultants, etc. He noted there was a lot of pressure on the Council to erect this monument on the Town Green. He stated his belief they should put a cap on this. He suggested taking the $130,000, add $50,000 for engineering costs and subtract that from the $225,000, which leaves a net reduction of $45,000. He stated his amendment is to reduce the $150,000 to $105,000.
Councilman Tait stated he is opposed to this amendment. He noted being a veteran and having great admiration for World War II veterans, he does not care how much it costs and feels this should get done. He stated his belief they shouldnt decrease this fund until they get information back from the engineers to learn exactly how much its really going to cost.
Councilman Strom stated the reason this money is in this account is because the Town is still not sure what the costs are. She stated until she knows what the costs are, she is not in favor of reducing any of the money that has been put aside for this.
Councilman Mangini stated she will not support this amendment.
Councilman Edgar voiced his opposition to this amendment.
Councilman Egan stated she would not be in favor of this amendment.
Upon a SHOW-OF-HANDS vote being taken, the Chair declared AMENDMENT #12A defeated by a 1-10-0 vote, with Councilman Falk voting in favor of the amendment.
Mr. Shanley explained the Town Appropriation amendments are in the aggregate because of the legal level of control. He pointed out the total bottom line is the same as the Council approved.

Mr. Shanley stated this is tied in with the moratorium on leaf collection.
Councilman Falk stated hes not in favor of eliminating leaf collection, therefore, he would not support this amendment.
Councilman Fiore stated his understanding these items are here based on the direction that the Council has given to staff up to this point.
Councilman Falk stated this will eliminate the leaf collection program as its known today, therefore, they would be eliminating a service. He noted that service is provided primarily to owners of single-family homes. He stated there were earlier amendments that dealt with condominium trash pick-up, which is a service that isnt currently offered and is a new service. He noted this amendment eliminates a service for single-family homeowners and gives a new service to condominium owners. He stated his belief that once this is taken out of the budget, the chances of it going back into the budget are nil because next year isnt going to be any easier than this year.
Councilman Tallarita stated the Council had to make rational choices and these choices werent easy to make. He stated his belief a moratorium on leaf collection when compared to other decisions has the least effect town wide for all the citizens of Enfield.
Councilman Strom stated during deliberations the Council looked at this as a moratorium, not only due to cost effectiveness for this year, but also because the program is neither efficient or effective in the way its currently done. She noted this provides the opportunity to look at how this can be done in a much more efficient and effective way if its put back in place next year.
Councilman Hall stated she will be voting against this amendment because she feels they could have eliminated some Public Works purchases. She stated her feeling there are other areas where they could have pulled $155,000 in lieu of taking this service away.
Councilman Egan stated if this were an elimination of a service rather than a moratorium, she would not be voting in favor of the amendment. She agreed with Councilman Strom in that this also provides an opportunity to review this program since its not currently a very efficient program. She pointed out everyones leaves will still be picked up, but they wont be vacuumed.
Upon a SHOW-OF-HANDS vote being taken, the Chair declared AMENDMENT #35 adopted 8-3-0, with councilmen Edgar, Falk, and Hall voting against the amendment.

Councilman Falk stated his belief this is a deep cut and will create problems for the operation of the schools in the coming year. He noted the Council had approved a 3.5% increase plus steps for the certified staff, which makes up about 80% of the school budget. He added their insurance and operating costs have gone up by 30% to 40%. He stated even though they are having retirements this year, the people retiring are the ones difficult to replace, therefore, they wont be reaping the savings they have in past years. He went on to note they are opening up new additions including libraries, gymnasiums, computer rooms, classrooms, and they will need to maintain that new space with additional staff. He stated his belief 3% is an unrealistic increase.
Councilman Edgar stated he will be voting against this because he feels it should have been cut from 3% to 2.6%.
Councilman Fiore stated he will support this amendment. He noted he wanted more than 3% and was hoping for 3.5%. He explained hes voting in the affirmative on this item because this is a very difficult year.
Councilman Tait stated the Council had to make sacrifices and cuts everywhere because this is a bad year. He stated some of the Board of Educations goals may have to be put off for another year. He noted the Council worked very hard and anguished over this figure and it was not an easy decision for them.
Councilman Kaupin stated he will support this amendment. He noted this is the consensus number that the Council arrived at. He stated he looked for parity between the Town operation side and the School side, and he feels the 3% is a little higher than the operating increase for the Town side, however, theres a general parity. He concluded stating this is a difficult year, and this is the best that they can do for this funding cycle.
Councilman Mangini stated she initially hoped for 4%, but she agrees with Councilman Kaupin regarding the parity between the Town and School sides. She added her feeling one of the keys to good government is the art of compromise. She noted the Council worked extremely hard to be reasonable.
Councilman Strom stated the Council worked very hard in trying to come to a reasonable figure. She stated her belief the Council should feel very comfortable that they worked very hard to compromise on a good number.
Councilman Tallarita stated although he was hoping for a much higher number, the Council came to a consensus on what could be afforded.
Councilman Hall stated this Council and previous Councils have been extremely generous when it came to the Board of Education. She stated her belief this has been an especially rough year, and she feels this is a fair number. She added she wishes it could be higher.
Councilman Egan stated her belief its important to realize that this Council has been very receptive to the needs of the Board of Education over the past few years. She added her belief this is a year where everyone is going to have to be creative and do the best with what theyre given.
Chairman Vayda stated he would have liked a higher number, however, this is the figure that the Council came to a consensus on and he will be voting in favor of the amendment.

Councilman Falk stated he made an attempt to make some amendments this evening that he felt were realistic and fair to the taxpayers, but the Council did not agree with him, therefore, he will not be supporting this amendment.
