TOWN MANAGER REPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS

Mr. Hawkes stated he will call the State tomorrow concerning the high grass issue on Route 5. He went on to note he has been trying to get in touch with DOT about the Shaker Road railroad crossing and the bump in the road. Mr. Coppler added they will set up a meeting very shortly with the State of Connecticut as well as the owner of that rail line to get an understanding of what’s going on and what their plans are, and he will let the Council know when that meeting is scheduled. Mr. Hawkes stated his understanding the long-term plan is to develop that track.
Mr. Hawkes stated Hartford Avenue, Alden Avenue and Lafayette Streets should be completed by the end of the year.
As concerns West Shore Drive, Mr. Coppler stated the Town would need the right of entry. Mr. Hawkes stated he sent the right of entry form to the homeowner for a signature so that the Town has access to the property. The Town Attorney will send a letter in this regard.
Mr. Coppler stated the maximum fine for littering issue will be forwarded along with some of the blight issues to Development Services.
As concerns a Sex Offender Ordinance, Mr. Coppler stated there was a public safety committee meeting sometime ago. He noted his impression from that meeting was that there was no action item going forward with this. He noted if the Council wishes them to go further with this, they can do so.
Councilman Nelson stated his belief one of the concerns was whether they could legally implement something, i.e., refusing people access to a public property. He noted he left the meeting comfortable with what the Town has in place.
Councilman Nelson questioned whether other towns have such an ordinance. He noted if it’s a simple ordinance that could be put into place, it makes sense and can’t hurt anything. He stated the safety of children is the first priority. He noted this would enforce a “Pedophile Free Zone” similar to a “Drug Free Zone”.
Attorney Deneen stated there are four municipalities in Connecticut that currently have restrictions on where registered sex offenders can be. He noted there has not been a challenge to those types of ordinances in Connecticut. He stated there have been challenges to the constitutionality of those types of ordinances in other municipalities across the country, which have not yet reached the level of the Supreme Court ruling.
As concerns the issue on the corner of Hazard Avenue and Broadbrook Road, Mr. Coppler stated that property is currently well in arrears in taxes. He noted a year and a half ago, the Town did put it out on a tax lien sale by itself. He stated they received a bid of $5,000, which was rejected. He stated they will be putting this property back out again. Ms. Nenni estimated it will go out again in 30 to 45 days. He noted the concern is that this property may or may not be contaminated. He stated DEP does not have anything listed about it being contaminated.
Mr. Coppler stated the Town Hall software conversion is underway, and everything should be transitioned over by June 28th. He noted in October, they’ll be transitioning over to the new permitting and zoning module, which will improve their abilities in providing services to residents and businesses. He stated they will transition the Human Resources piece on January 1st.
Mr. Dutcher stated Enfield’s sister city, Chung Le will be sending a delegation for the Fourth of July Celebration. He noted they’re also running a Taiwanese film festival on E-TV. He stated Chung Le sent Enfield six feature films and 12 documentaries that were filmed in Taiwan.
Mr. Coppler stated they’re planning a reception for Chung Le on July 9th.
Chairman Kaupin stated Chung Le will be providing musical entertainment at the Fourth of July Celebration.
TOWN ATTORNEY REPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS
Attorney Deneen stated he will research the litter fine question, and there can be further discussion about this with the Development Services Committee.
REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEES OF THE COUNCIL
Councilman Mangini stated the Fourth of July Committee is working hard to put together a very nice event.
Councilman Mangini stated CCM had its Board of Directors meeting, and one of the issues they’ll be fighting is taxation from the State level. She noted the real estate conveyance tax is another issue to tackle.
Councilman Mangini stated she had the opportunity of traveling to Boston, and she was assigned on a special task force by the National League of Cities Advisory Council. She noted they’re looking to improve their advocacy and lobbying efforts with Congress. She pointed out a lot of the unfunded mandates come from the federal government and are passed down to the municipal level. She pointed out if they can be stronger and smarter in lobbying efforts, they’ll get better results. She noted they came up with some objectives to pass along to the Board of Directors to serve as an advisory resource to address federal issues they’re facing, to provide strategic support to the recruiting and retention of members, to support the NLC Board by functioning as a task force with regards to strategy. She noted they need to go to Washington on a more frequent basis and become more familiar with Congressional people so they can bring forward their needs.
Chief Sferrazza updated the Council on efforts in Thompsonville. He noted a month and a half ago, they had an episode and it became apparent that action needed to be taken quickly and decisively. He stated they created a Thompsonville Crime Unit. He explained they re-tooled existing resources and utilized JAG money and put together a group to focus specifically on enforcement efforts in Thompsonville. He shared the following figures:
100 motor vehicle warning tickets
10 motor vehicle summons
29 motor vehicle infractions
52 building checks
60 hours of surveillance
75 calls for service
10 Town ordinance violations
2 vandalisms
17 arrests (half narcotics related)
16 EMS calls
Chief Sferrazza stated in the last six weeks, things look a little better in Thompsonville. He noted the police presence has made a big impact on keeping things quieter.

WHEREAS, Barrett Road is a Town road; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Enfield received a request from Attorney Thomas W. Fahey, dated January 5, 2010 asking that the Council discontinue the undeveloped right of way between Barrett and South roads; and
WHEREAS, the Town Staff and the Town Council have reviewed this matter and have determined that there is no public need for the Town to maintain this undeveloped portion of Barrett Road; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council, in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes §8-24, referred this matter to the Enfield Planning & Zoning Commission, which at its meeting of March 4, 2010 made a favorable recommendation regarding the discontinuance of the undeveloped portion of Barrett Road; and
WHEREAS, Connecticut General Statute 13a-49 requires the selectmen (or Council) of a town to vote to discontinue any public rights of way of the town;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Council does hereby discontinue the undeveloped portion of Barrett Road, however, this Resolution does not release and the Town does hereby reserve an easement to locate, construct, maintain, use, install, remove and repair sewer improvements together with a right of access to and from said easement, as shown on a map entitled “Utility Plan prepared for Enfield Properties South Road Enfield, Connecticut Date 12-11-09 Scale: 1” = 40’ Revisions: 2-10-2010 Staff Comments 03-08-10 IW Conditions of Approval 4-23-10 Planning and Zoning Submission F.A.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Council does hereby authorize the offices of the Town Manager and the Town Attorney to execute and file on behalf of the Council all documentation necessary to effect this discontinuance and reservation of easement.
Councilman Nelson stated his understanding this property is being divided straight down the center of the road, and whoever abuts it will own that percentage of the land. Attorney Deneen stated that’s correct.
Councilman Mangini stated her understanding the Town will reserve the right to do any type of improvements to sewer or drainage as needed. She questioned the purpose of this, and Attorney Deneen stated when the Town discontinues the use of the road, they discontinue the right of the public to pass and repass over it. He noted it doesn’t effect the underlying easements in place. He stated there is an existing sewer line, which is shown on the submitted maps, and they’re being absolutely clear that the Town has the right to continue to go in there and maintain that sewer line. Councilman Mangini questioned if that’s something the Town wants to do, and Attorney Deneen responded yes and noted it is part of Enfield’s sewer system.

ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
DISCUSSION RE: ROAD CONDITION RATING REVIEW
Present for this discussion were Gordon Daring of Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. and Director of Public Works, Piya Hawkes
Mr. Daring explained pavement management is the practice of planning for pavement maintenance and rehabilitation with the goal of maximizing the value and life of a pavement network. He noted the process involves establishing a well-defined inventory of the town’s road network. He stated they would then do an evaluation of pavement conditions and come up with a pavement condition index number, also known as a PCI number. He explained that PCI number is on the scale of 0 to 100. He stated they would also integrate the database of roadway information with the Town’s geographic information system, and this allows them to produce maps that are useful for presentation purposes and analyzing the planned road improvements.
He stated they would work with the Public Works staff to define repair strategies and costs. He noted when they have a good picture of the overall road conditions, they can test different funding scenarios. He stated once they’ve zeroed in on the right funding level, their software is also able to develop a list of projects.
Mr. Daring pointed out the Town has been successfully using this process over the last 12 years in planning Roads 2000 and Road 2005 programs.
He displayed slides showing excellent to poor road conditions and the types of work required for those roads.
Mr. Daring stated the overall average PCI number in Enfield is 72. He noted previous road programs greatly improved about 56 miles of roadway. He noted there are still other roads that were not able to be treated through previous programs, and the PCI for those roads is lower than 72.
He shared a graph which showed how the conditions ranged throughout Enfield. He explained 30 miles of roads are in need of no immediate maintenance; 63 miles of roads are in need of relatively low cost maintenance and about 93 miles of road are in need of some type of overlay, reclamation or reconstruction.
Mr. Daring referred to a table that breaks down the total backlog of work. He noted there’s about 44 million dollars worth of work to be done. He stated the cost is about $5 million dollars to treat 60 miles of road that require routine or preventive maintenance.
He noted the cost would be about $30 million dollars to treat 64 miles of road that require base rehabilitation. He pointed out those roads in the poorest shape require the most expensive work. He noted if the Town puts all of its dollars into the worst roads in town, they’ll end up ignoring the roads that are in a little better shape and where dollars could be spent and stretched.
Mr. Daring identified the steps they recommend the Town follow:
Use system output to identify candidate projects
Utilize GIS to coordinate projects geographically
Reduce mobilization cost for contractors
Neighborhood planning
Coordinate with utility companies
Adapt to funding opportunities and constraints
Perform “Project Level” evaluation and design on candidate projects
He stressed the importance of digging a few holes to see what’s under a roadway.
Councilman Lee questioned if the Council were to pursue all the roads, where would that place the Town. Mr. Daring stated this would amount to $7 million dollars per year. He noted the average conditions in town would improve from an average of 72 on the PCI scale up to 78 over the course of five years.
Councilman Lee questioned if there’s been any discussion about what capabilities or equipment the Town of Enfield requires in order to do the regular maintenance in the best possible way, or is this all work that would be farmed out. Mr. Daring stated they have not had that conversation. He noted the majority of the maintenance work is typically done on a contract basis. He stated some communities will do thin overlays using their own equipment, and Enfield has some of that equipment.
Mr. Daring stated if crack sealing is used at the right time on the right roads, it is the most cost effective way to extend the life of the pavement. He noted there are a lot of contractors in the State of Connecticut that do crack sealing and do a good job.
Councilman Dumont agreed maintenance is very important.
Councilman Bosco stated his belief reclamation can be a good thing. Mr. Daring stated reclamation should be used in the right place on the right roads because it’s less expensive than reconstruction. He noted if there’s good gravel under the pavement, reclamation can be advantageous.
Councilman Keller questioned how roads are prioritized. Mr. Daring stated the PCI is strictly a measurement of the quality of the pavement surface on the day it’s measured.
Councilman Kiner questioned if they can get PCI ranges for every road in Enfield. Mr. Daring responded yes. Councilman Kiner requested this information be e-mailed to the Town Council.
Councilman Lee questioned whether this information can be a layer within the GIS system, and Mr. Hawkes responded yes.
Councilman Nelson questioned how they’re projecting the dirt roads in the Town of Enfield. Mr. Daring stated if they were to do a condition rating on a gravel road, the rating would vary from month to month due to moisture effects. He noted it would depend on the philosophy and approach the Town wants to take for gravel roads.
Chairman Kaupin stated his impression there was only one dirt road in Enfield, and Councilman Nelson noted Maple Road near Armata’s and Laughlin Road are dirt roads.
Chairman Kaupin stated his understanding there are deadlines involved if they wish to do a Roads 2010 referendum in November. He questioned when this might come before the Town Council for a decision. Mr. Coppler stated if the Council wishes to proceed, they’d start the process at the July 6th meeting, and they’d probably need a special meeting near the end of July. He went on to note that during the Roads 2005 program, the Town was spending less than $5 million dollars per year on roads, therefore, $7 million per year would be in excess of what was done previously and is in excess of what the Town is capable of doing because of the way the budget is currently constituted. He noted they’d have to find reductions in other places or increase the mill rate to pay for this.
Chairman Kaupin suggested they plan for a special meeting toward the end of July to discuss this in detail. Councilman Mangini added she would like to see included a breakout for a general maintenance plan.
Councilman Crowley stated if they do know what roads they will address, they should do test bores.
DISCUSSION RE: PLAN OF CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT HEARING
Mr. Coppler reminded the Town Council that the Plan of Conservation and Development Public Hearing is going to be on Tuesday, June 29th in the Town Hall Council Chambers. He noted this is a joint Public Hearing with the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Chairman Kaupin questioned if it’s the intent of the Council to review, discuss and adopt the Plan of Conservation & Development or leave it solely to Planning & Zoning. Mr. Coppler stated the Council will have to act in terms of a reverse 8-24, and the Council could act in some way at the July 6th Council meeting, or they could hold off and do something in a Special Meeting. He added the Council will have to do something.

RESOLVED, that in accordance with Chapter VII, Section 2 of the Town Charter, the Enfield Town Council does hereby amend the classification plan to include the following two new positions within the EMS Division in the Town budget for fiscal year 2010-11;
Add (1) EMS Captain (Paramedic) $66,560.00
Add (1) Quartermaster/EMT $39,728.00
Councilman Nelson clarified they are not hiring two new employees, but rather they are just changing their job descriptions and titles.
Councilman Mangini stated because of the current economic climate and what they just went through with the budget, she won’t be supporting this resolution.
Councilman Crowley questioned if this is within the EMS budget currently with no addition to the budget. Mr. Coppler stated this is part of the 2010-11 budget that was presented and adopted by Council.
Upon a ROLL-CALL vote being taken, the Chair declared RESOLUTION #979 adopted 8-2-0, with Councilmen Edgar and Mangini voting against.
RESOLUTION #980 by Councilman Lee, seconded by Councilman Kiner.
RESOLVED, that the Enfield Town Council does hereby approve the four (4) year collective bargaining agreement between the Town of Enfield and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Union, Council #4, Local #1029 Union dated July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2013.
Councilman Mangini stated she will support this as long as both sides agreed, and that the
Town Council will ratify what both sides have agreed to. Mr. Coppler stated that’s correct.
Councilman Nelson stated this contract does give employees raises. He pointed out these employees did step up when they were asked to do so and took a pay freeze for a whole year. He noted they helped the Town when the Town needed help, and that is why he will support these people.
Councilman Kiner stated he will support this, however, there’s a typographical error in Section 5.1 regarding overtime pay where it reads, “time and one half” and then in parenthesis it reads “1 and 1/12”. Attorney Deneen agreed that’s a clerical error, which they’ll correct before the contract is signed.
Councilman Crowley voiced his support of the resolution.
Chairman Kaupin stated he will also support this contract. He thanked Local 1029 for holding on for a year because this contract actually expired last year. He noted they worked well with the Town on the merger of custodial services over to the Town side, which was the primary reason for the delay.
Upon a ROLL-CALL vote being taken, the Chair declared RESOLUTION #980 adopted 10-0-0.
RESOLUTION #981 by Councilman Dumont, seconded by Councilman Nelson.
RESOLVED, that the Town Manager, Matthew W. Coppler, is empowered to enter into and amend contractual instruments in the name and on behalf of the Town of Enfield with the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving in the amount of $29,573.00 for a Digital Literacy Grant.
Upon a ROLL-CALL vote being taken, the Chair declared RESOLUTION #981 adopted 10-0-0.
RESOLUTION #982 by Councilman Nelson, seconded by Councilman Mangini.
BE IT RESOLVED, that in accordance with Chapter VI, Section 14 of the Town Charter, the annual salaries and rates of pay for full time and part-time non-union benefited employees will be increased by the following:
Part-Time One (1) percent effective and retroactive to July 1, 2010.
Clerical/Administrative One (1) percent effective and retroactive to July 1, 2010
With the possibility of an additional one half (.5) percent increase based upon the result of their annual evaluation and a positive recommendation by their Department Director.
Mid-management
Supervisory One (1) percent effective and retroactive to July 1, 2010 with the possibility of an additional three quarter (.75) percent increase based upon the results of their annual evaluation and a positive recommendation by their Department Director.
Department Directors Effective and retroactive to July 1, 2010 with the possibility of up to a two and one half (2.5) percent increase based upon the results of their annual evaluation and a positive recommendation by the Town Manager.
At the discretion of the Town Manger an additional five hundred dollar ($500) bonus,
not included in base pay, may be awarded for exceptional merit.
This resolution is inclusive of the Chief, Deputy Chief and Captain of the Enfield Police Department; and the EMS Director, but exclusive of the Town Manger, and EMS supervisors.
Councilman Nelson thanked the non-union employees because they did go a year without raises, and they also do a phenomenal job in the Town.
Chairman Kaupin voiced his support of this resolution.
Upon a ROLL-CALL vote being taken, the Chair declared RESOLUTION #982 adopted 9-1-0, with Councilman Edgar voting against.
RESOLUTION #983 by Councilman Nelson, seconded by Councilman Dumont.
WHEREAS, the 2010-11 Budget for the Town of Enfield includes revenues from increased fees for Curbside Bulky Waste pick-up; and
WHEREAS, a Public Hearing was held on June 7, 2010* for Enfield residents to comment on the proposed changes; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined this is in the best interest of the Town of Enfield to make changes in the Curbside Bulky Waste Pick-up fee schedule:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Enfield Town Council does hereby adopt the amended and revised fee schedule attached as “Attachment A” for the Schedule of Fees for the Transfer Station usage and Curbside Bulky Waste Pick-Up.
s/h/b June 21, 2010
Councilman Dumont acknowledged this is a large increase in fees. She noted this is a service provided by the town on an as needed basis. She stated her belief the Town’s cost for this service should be covered, and she will support this resolution.
Councilman Bosco voiced his support of the resolution. He noted if someone had to rent a dumpster, it would cost at least $400.
Councilman Lee stated two weeks ago, the Council revisited the idea of an autumn leaf pick-up plan included for the commercial, and is that separate. Mr. Coppler stated this was only to be for the curbside pick-up. He noted they’re putting together the information and what needs to be done so they can be sure to have a good cost analysis for the leaf plan. He explained that involves the commercial and non-resident fees for landscapers.
Councilman Nelson stated grass deposits at the landfill are free, but people are still dumping that material. He stated his belief it’s more of a convenience than it is a cost to dump grass deposits on the side of the road. He went on to note he received a text from former Councilman Jones who is very much against this. Councilman Nelson added he is in support of this resolution.
Councilman Crowley stated he will support this resolution. He acknowledged this is an expensive service, but people do not use it every day. He pointed out it would cost a lot more to pay an outside service to remove this type of material.
Councilman Kiner stated last year he did agree with Councilman Jones, and he still agrees, however, the Town needs the extra funds to keep or maintain services as they were and to hopefully reduce the amount of layoffs. He noted he will reluctantly support the resolution.
Mr. Coppler stated he was contacted by a resident suggesting including some language within this resolution concerning the transfer station annual permit.
AMENDMENT #1 by Councilman Crowley, seconded by Councilman Nelson to add language to the resolution (Attachment A):
Attachment A
The following wording to be added after sections entitled, “Residential Fees – Effective July 1, 2009” and “Commercial and Non-Resident Fees – Effective July 15, 2008”
“Annual permit required for use of transfer station”
Upon a SHOW-OF-HANDS vote being taken, the Chair declared AMENDMENT #1 adopted 9-1-0, with Councilman Edgar voting against the amendment.
Chairman Kaupin stated he will support the change. He stated his belief the one driving point of bulky waste is that it’s a nice to have service. He noted by raising the fee to $100, it brings the Town to the break-even point. He pointed out this is still a deal vs. the private sector.
Upon a ROLL-CALL vote being taken, the Chair declared RESOLUTION #983 adopted 9-1-0 as amended. Councilman Edgar voted against the resolution.
RESOLUTION #984 by Councilman Nelson, seconded by Councilman Mangini.
WHEREAS, the 2010-11 budget for the Town of Enfield includes revenues from increased fees for Building Permits issued by the Division of Building Inspection; and
WHEREAS, a Public Hearing has been held in accordance with Charter requirements on June 7, 2010; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined this is in the best interest of the Town of Enfield to make changes to the Building Permit Fees.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Enfield Town Council does hereby adopt the amended and revised fee schedule ordinance heretofore attached as “Attachment A”
Councilman Nelson questioned whether this will officially do away with the zoning permit. Mr. Coppler stated they still have to get the recommendation from Planning & Zoning that it’s okay to do that. He stated his belief this is scheduled for a Public Hearing at their first meeting in July. Councilman Nelson questioned whether Planning & Zoning is aware that they’re trying to streamline the process with one fee, and the fees were increased to cover Wetlands and Planning & Zoning.
AMENDMENT #1 by Councilman Nelson, seconded by Councilman Crowley to amend the date in the second paragraph to June 21, 2010.
Upon a SHOW-OF-HANDS vote being taken, the Chair declared AMENDMENT #1 adopted 10-0-0.
Upon a ROLL-CALL vote being taken, the Chair declared RESOLUTION #984 adopted 10-0-0 as amended.
RESOLUTION #985 by Councilman Dumont, seconded by Councilman Mangini.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT Enfield Town Manager is authorized to enter into and amend a License Agreement with the MEADWESTVACO CORPORATION of Richmond, VA for the specific purpose of using their parking lot located at 180 Moody Road, Enfield, CT for the Fermi High graduation on June 24, 2010.
Chairman Kaupin stated this property will be used as a shuttle/parking lot. Mr. Vindigni stated because they can no longer park cars on Fermi’s lawns for graduation events, they will be using off-site parking.
Upon a ROLL-CALL vote being taken, the Chair declared RESOLUTION #985 adopted 10-0-0.
RESOLUTION #986 by Councilman Dumont, seconded by Councilman Nelson.
BE IT RESOLVED, that Enfield Town Manger is authorized to enter into and amend a Memorandum of Understanding dated June 11, 2010 with the Enfield Dog Park Action Committee for the specific purpose of identifying responsibilities and coordinating resources to ensure the effective and efficient delivery and operation of a dog park.
Councilman Mangini questioned if the lease is then created between both parties after the MOU is approved. Attorney Deneen responded that’s correct.
Councilman Nelson stated he will vote against this due to the fact that it’s back on Town land as a lease and not a dollar buy-out. He noted the Town Attorney basically stated the Town is liable in the case of a dog bite. He stated he cannot publicly support this as long as this is on Town land. He added if it was to be on private land, he could support a dog park one-hundred percent.
Chairman Kaupin stated his belief they came up with a good location and a good understanding so that this can move forward. He thanked staff for their work on this.
Councilman Nelson stated the dog park is funding this one-hundred percent on their own. He noted the Town is not maintaining or setting up this park. He pointed out the only thing the Town is doing is leasing the land.
Upon a ROLL-CALL vote being taken, the Chair declared RESOLUTION #986 adopted 9-1-0, with Councilman Nelson voting against.
RESOLUTION #987 by Councilman Mangini, seconded by Councilman Nelson.
WHEREAS, the Department of Public Works selected Guarantee Mechanical Services, Inc., to fabricate duct work in support of four (4) new gas fired furnaces installed at Old Town Hall which the cost of the work was below the current Town’s bid amount; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Public Works did not have a “Sheet Metal License” to install the duct work, requested Guarantee Mechanical Services, Inc. to install said duct work which the total cost of fabrication and installation work was below the current Town’s bid amount; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Public Works was informed by the Finance Department the bid limit will be exceeded taking into account past payments to Guarantee Mechanical Services, Inc., therefore, recommends a Town Council bid waiver.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Council hereby waives the bidding process in favor of using Guarantee Mechanical Services, Inc.
Mr. Hawkes stated they were very ambitious, and they wanted to finish the project at Old Town Hall. He noted they did not realize that this firm did work for the Town at the Fermi High School when all the pipes froze, and the Town called them in to do that work, and that’s why they exceeded the bid limit.
Chairman Kaupin questioned if that was in the current fiscal year, and Mr. Hawkes responded yes.
Chairman Kaupin stated his understanding if the Town waited to pay this company in the next fiscal year, they would need a bid waiver.
Councilman Mangini questioned why the Public Works Department does not have a sheet metal license. Mr. Hawkes stated that is a fairly new license that just came out, and the Town was not aware of it until they actually started installing it. He noted the Building Inspector stopped them and said there is a license that is required. He stated this is why they had to ask Guaranteed Mechanics to do this because they have the license.
Councilman Kiner questioned if this is a local company, and Mr. Hawkes responded this company is from Broadbrook, Connecticut.
Councilman Nelson questioned if this company is the Town’s current on-call contractor, and Mr. Hawkes stated the only on-call contractor is Fahrenheit.
Councilman Nelson questioned why they didn’t go with other companies. He noted he does not support this, particularly since this company isn’t the on-call contractor. He stated his belief this should have gone out to bid. Mr. Coppler explained that for over $5,000 and under $15,000, three quotes are required. He noted they followed that piece. He noted because they were in the middle of the project, this pushed it over.
Councilman Nelson stated if Fahrenheit, who is the Town’s on-call contractors, does not do this type of work, perhaps it’s time to get another on-call contractor, or the Town should review bids a little better since this is typical work for an HVAC company. He noted he will not support this resolution.
Chairman Kaupin questioned the selection criteria under $5,000. Mr. Hawkes stated they chose Guaranteed Mechanical because they’re very responsive to the Town’s needs, and they’ve done work throughout the school system. He noted this is why they were chosen.
Councilman Bosco stated the work has been done and the contractor should be paid.
Upon a ROLL-CALL vote being taken, the Chair declared RESOLUTION #987 adopted 8-2-0, with Councilmen Edgar and Nelson voting against.
PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS
There were no comments from the public.
COUNCILMEN COMMUNICATIONS
Councilman Nelson stated he was at the transfer station recently, and they’re still having major computer problems. He noted they need a faster computer. He added his impression they were looking into the ability for people to use credit cards. Mr. Coppler stated a fee is involved whenever a credit card is used, and the question is does the Town absorb that cost.
Councilman Crowley informed everyone the Route 190 bike path is now open.
Councilman Crowley questioned what happened to the parking lot that was supposed to be established across from Scitico Market so people could access the Scantic River. Mr. Coppler stated there is a gravel lot in that area. Councilman Crowley questioned if there’s signage in this area, and is it open to the public. Councilman Lee stated a sign just went up. Councilman Crowley questioned if this area will have lighting, and was told there isn’t any lighting because the park is only open from dawn to dusk.
MOTION #988 by Councilman Nelson, seconded by Councilman Crowley to adjourn.
Upon a SHOW-OF-HANDS vote being taken, the Chair declared MOTION #988 adopted 10-0-0, and the meeting stood adjourned at 10:25 p.m.
