3. Visitors
Amy Roberts-Perry, Steve Hollander and Jeff Reisman were present from the PAYT Committee. Ms. Perry asked if the bonding was done for the $100,000 for the roll off truck. First Selectman Klein reviewed the bonding noting that would be taken care of this evening. Ms. Perry noted they have taken 60 tons out of municipal waste and asked where it was being taken. Mr. Ward replied it was taken to Essex. Ms. Perry noted she thought this Board had voted on taking it to Willimantic Waste. Ms. Perry reviewed the tonnage numbers. There was much discussion on the issue of whether this was to have been taken. Mr. Ward reviewed the issue of wet loads. There was discussion regarding the CRRA contract. Selectman Dudek noted this is a grey area. Selectman Dudek noted the previous BOS agreed to try this for 6 months. This should all be re-examined once the new truck comes in. There was discussion regarding new sticker issuance. Mr. Reisman noted the Committee put in 160 hours to give out about 1000 plus stickers to residents in town. The Transfer Station personnel are now giving out stickers to those who haven’t gotten them yet. First Selectman Klein noted they can also be obtained at the Town Hall during office hours. There was discussion about using the 3rd compactor as a trial for cardboard and newspaper. Mr. Ward suggested doing this when it gets warm. He noted the 3rd compactor is there in the event one of the other compactors breaks down.
Tim Brewer from TLB Architecture was present. He briefly reviewed Phase I for the relocation of the transfer station and that he was here this evening to ask the Board for authorization for the First Selectman to sign the Inland Wetlands permit application that has been sitting around for months with the former first selectman’s signature. Motion by Selectman Dudek, second by Selectman Sipples, to authorize First Selectman Klein to sign the Inland Wetlands application for the relocation of the transfer station. Voting in favor – Sipples, Dudek, Klein. Opposed – none. Motion Carried.
L. Crowley and D. Stevens from Youth & Family Services was present. Ms. Crowley reviewed the YFS Program and the services they provide to the community. It was noted their strategic plan is updated every other year. First Selectman Klein noted Killingworth is hoping to give YFS more space upstairs, but would like them to spend more time in the community (perhaps a full day). There was discussion regarding budget and if the budget is figured on the ADM numbers.
4. Tax Abatements & Refunds
$ 5,497.33 G. Wright Account Overpaid
$ 13.98 Charles Rice Sold Motor Vehicle
$ 3,515.56 R. Berzon Account Overpaid
Motion by Selectman Dudek, second by First Selectman Klein, to approve payment of reviewed tax refunds. Voting in favor – Sipples, Dudek, Klein. Opposed – none. Motion Carried.
5. Appointments/Vacancies
Motion by Selectman Sipples, second by First Selectman Klein, to appoint Alec Martin, Matthew Link and James Lally to the Field Study Committee. Discussion followed. There was a question as to the role of the Field Study Committee. First Selectman Klein noted that role should be clear after tomorrow’s referendum vote. Voting in favor – Sipples, Dudek, Klein. Opposed – none. Motion Carried.
6. Old Business:
1. Reservoir Road Bridge/Budget Numbers
Jim Ward noted he and Geoff Jacobson would be going to DOT on Thursday to discuss the “loaning” of the Acro Bailey Bridge that is currently in New Jersey. First Selectman Klein noted this project would be done as soon as school is out. The Town has to go get the bridge, assemble it, dismantle it and return it to New Jersey when the project is completed. There was discussion regarding whether the Federal grant money has been guaranteed. It was noted there is no official paperwork to that effect. Mr. Ward briefly reviewed the box culverts with the wing walls. First Selectman Klein reviewed a letter from Attorney Mike Wells regarding the required Resolution for the $180,000.
Motion by Selectman Dudek, second by First Selectman Klein, that the Board of Selectmen and Board of Finance hereby approve the following Resolution and forward same to Town Meeting for approval:
Resolved: That the amount of $180,000 is hereby appropriated for the Engineering and Design phase for the Reservoir Road Bridge Replacement Project, said funds to come from the following sources: $36,000 from Account No.3000205, entitled Reservoir Road Bridge, and $144,000 from a grant from the State of Connecticut under the Federal Local Bridge Program, and the First Selectmen, Martin Klein, is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of the Town of Killingworth (i) All necessary contracts with engineers and consultants for such engineering phase, subject to the limitation of the appropriation stated herein, and (ii) to execute and deliver the Grant Agreement and all such supporting documentation as may be required by the State of Connecticut to obtain said grant, and to accept said grant according to its terms. Voting in favor – Sipples, Dudek, Klein. Opposed – none. Motion Carried.
2. Public Health District
Selectman Sipples noted that over a month ago he reviewed the fact the Town should consider whether to send a letter of intent to the State and fill out an application which would qualify the Town for a $5000 incentive (but this application would not commit the Town to anything). He further noted a meeting was held with a State Health representative, but this Board had not discussed the issue since. Selectman Sipples stated he had no further information to report, but that the State was looking for a response from the Towns in January. It was reiterated the $5000 incentive was to continue to study this matter to see if the town is serious about joining the District. Selectman Dudek noted he didn’t see that the District would help the Town of Killingworth, but it might help some the bigger towns. He further noted he spoke with the Town’s Public Health Director who is of the same opinion. What the Town currently has works very well. Motion by Selectman Dudek, second by First Selectman Klein, that Killingworth do not pursue any further joining the Public Health District based on income numbers supplied by Richard Leighton and the fact that income would be lost and go to the Health District. Discussion followed. Selectman Sipples noted he thought it was premature to vote on this matter. Selectman Dudek noted this has been examined previously and the same conclusion was reached. He did not think it would be good for the Town of Killingworth. First Selectman Klein felt the Town would get lost in the shuffle and lose control. Selectman Sipples noted the larger towns are expecting to save money with the District. He indicated Killingworth now has a restaurant inspector where it didn’t have one for a long time. Selectman Sipples noted the fact that Killingworth is not prepared to deal with the bird influenza scares him. Both Selectmen Klein and Dudek noted it would not make a difference whether or not the Town was part of a Health District or not should that occur. VOTE: In favor – Dudek, Klein. Opposed – Sipples. Motion Carried.
3. Resolution for Sale of Anthem Stock
First Selectman Klein briefly reviewed the matter of the Anthem demutualization stock and that it should have been sold. He noted the Board needs to authorize the sale of that stock the proceeds of which will be distributed as previously noted at a prior meeting and the remainder put into the pension fund because it is under funded. Mr. Klein noted the names of Dee Howard and Pam Ahearn should be added to the previous list.
Motion by First Selectman Klein, second by Selectman Dudek, to approve the following Resolution:
RESOLVED: That the First Selectman, Martin Klein, and the Treasurer, Claudette Lagassee, are authorized to sell all of the shares (totaling 1,554 in number) in Wellpoint, Inc. registered in the name of the Town of Killingworth, and are further authorized to signed all such certificates and documents as may be required for such sale. Discussion followed. First Selectman Klein will verify the list of names as there seemed to be some confusion on who should be included. Voting in favor – Sipples, Dudek, Klein. Opposed – none. Motion Carried.
4. Sludge Lagoons/Deep River Water Pollution Control Facility
It was noted the lagoons will be closed on April 3rd. DEP will then come in and give its recommendation for pumping out, drying out, removing the sludge from the lagoons and testing it. First Selectman Klein noted the property owner wants to be paid the full amount of $35,000 up until her lease expires on June 22nd. He indicated there is an unsigned document, however, that says the property owner will be paid $150.00 per month after the lagoons are closed and during remediation time. The property owner is looking to see if she has a signed document.
