Stated he does not understand the meaning of this and requested clarity.
Ms. Olechnicki explained over the past few years the Town Code was reviewed with the Town Attorney’s Office as well as an attorney from the company they hired to look at the code and re-format it. She noted the company attorney compared the Town Code to the State statutes and brought forward any changes that have taken place over the years so that Enfield’s Town Code would be in compliance with any new laws that would have changed through the Connecticut State statutes. She pointed out there have been no great changes to the Town Code or the laws that govern Enfield, but rather changes relate to a new format which should make it easier for people to use.
Deputy Mayor Hilinski questioned whether there’s a document available vs the old document. Ms. Olechnicki responded yes, that is available.
As no others wished to speak, Deputy Mayor Hilinski closed the Public Hearing at 7:25 p.m. |
