3. Visitors
Todd Hajek, Deputy Fire Chief, was present on behalf of Chief Richard Bauer. Mr. Hajek noted the Fire Department received a grant for the Vehicle Exhaust System for the fire house. They received 6 quotes and are recommending the one in the amount of $67,524 (the town's share would be $5,376.00). Dep. Chief Hajek explained the FEMA Program was established in September, 2001 and the Town has since received $300,000 in grant money so far. The Town pays 5% and FEMA pays the rest. This system would get rid of the vehicle exhaust from the building.
Dave Roberts was present to discuss traffic problems on Route 81. He noted he lives in front of the new Middle School and is representing the school bus drivers. He indicated there is no one directing traffic in front of the two schools on Route 81 and this is a dangerous, deadly problem. There is also no flashing light in front of the new Middle School. Mr. Roberts stated he understood there is a line item in the budget for traffic control. First Selectman Klein noted Selectman Sipples had attended a recent DOT meeting where this was discussed. He understood the flashing light would be coming soon, but the request for a traffic light has been denied. Selectman Sipples reviewed his meeting with Superintendent Gary Mala and DOT representatives. The State will be reducing the speed limit in that area down to 30 and flashing lights will be installed. The traffic light request has been denied. Mr. Roberts noted he thought there should be someone out on the road directing traffic at specific times during the day when the buses are going in and out. There was much discussion regarding traffic control and whether the Town could hire someone to do it or the State Trooper should do it. It was noted speeding is a big problem and the speeders need to be ticketed. Selectman Dudek stated this is a regional school system and any dollars for traffic control should come from the regional school district. Phil Stull noted the State Trooper's hours are not consistent so he is not the solution to the problem. Selectman Dudek noted if the State Trooper is doing traffic duty, it is taking him away from other things. Selectman Sipples noted the State DOT has implied that it does not want a traffic light at the school because it is too close to the traffic light at Routes 148 and 81. First Selectman Klein noted if the State won't do anything, then it is up to the Town to do it. The Town should either have the State Trooper there or have two extra people on duty to do traffic control. The hours required for traffic control were reviewed. Peter Venuti and Dave Roberts noted there is a traffic control person in Durham and Haddam, respectively. Various individuals present related recent incidents while traveling by the school. First Selectman Klein charged Selectman Sipples with making out a schedule of hours that would be required for traffic control duty.
Peter Venuti noted he has been in contact with the State DOT regarding the redesigning of the Killingworth traffic circle (Routes 81 and 80).
Tom Danso from Blueberry Hill Reserve was present to inquire about the status of the Reservoir Road Bridge Project. First Selectman Klein noted there is a Special Town Meeting on February 28th to approve an additional $18,600 for the fee for Cardinal Engineering. Once those funds are approved, he will sign the contract with Cardinal Engineering. Mr. Klein explained the State and Federal Programs versus the Town doing the project itself and just sleeving it (depending on what the hydrology report results are). He further explained that decision cannot be made until the 30% stage is reached. There was discussion regarding the use of a temporary bridge. Mr. Klein noted the funds currently appropriated cannot be used for a temporary bridge.
4. Tax Abatements & Refunds
Tax Refunds for Real Estate, Personal Property and Motor Vehicles were reviewed. Motion by Selectman Dudek to approve for payment refunds as reviewed and noted on attached sheet provided by the Tax Collector. Voting in favor - Dudek, Sipples, Klein. Opposed - none. Motion Carried.

6. Old Business
1. BOS Approval for Call of Town Meeting for February 28, 2007
The draft of the Legal Notice for the Call of the Town Meeting was reviewed (as attached). Selectman Sipples requested that Items 2 and 3 be switched so that Item 2 is taken up last. Motion by First Selectman Klein, second by Selectman Dudek, to approve the Call of the Town Meeting for February 28, 2007 switching Items 2 and 3 so that the Open Space Grant Agreement is discussed last. Voting in favor - Klein, Sipples, Dudek. Opposed - none. Motion Carried.
2. Discussion of Public Works Foreman Position
Selectman Sipples noted at the last meeting he brought up the idea of having a combined position - Director of Public Works, Sanitarian and Building Inspector. He indicated he spoke to Dick Leighton who was interested in a Director of Public Works position with the Town Foreman reporting to that individual. Mr. Sipples suggested possibly doing this on a trial basis for one year. There was much discussion about whether this would be an added position or whether it would be redefining an existing position. First Selectman Klein noted he was reluctant to have one person do all 3 positions. Todd Hajek noted he has worked for the Clinton Public Works for 16 years. He felt a Public Works Commission should be appointed before getting into a Director of Public Works and that the Road Foreman position should be defined first. Selectman Dudek noted he agreed with Mr. Hajek's comment about the Public Works Commission and looking at the Highway Foreman's job. There was discussion as to how this would affect the Union Contract and whether it should be a working foreman's job or an administrative position. It was noted there are various scenarios that should be reviewed. There was discussion regarding the administrative functions that the Highway Foreman now performs. Walter Adametz noted a Director of Public Works would not be a full time job, but more of an administrative position. If the Town Foreman job is made into a white collar position, that would take an individual out of the work force. Selectman Dudek noted if there is a Director of Public Works, he didn't see the need for a Highway Foreman position. The crew leaders would take direction from the Director of Public Works. Selectman Sipples noted he did not see it that way. First Selectman Klein noted he thought the Town should get someone with engineering experience (not necessarily an engineering degree) and that person could then be a working foreman. Peter Venuti noted perhaps it's time the Town considers a Town Engineer, someone who will be accountable for following through on projects. Selectman Dudek asked Messrs. Sipples and Klein if the Highway Foreman's job should be part of the Union Contract or removed from the contract. Both Sipples and Klein replied it should be removed from the contract. Dudek noted then that the job description and title need to be changed. Everyone agreed the job duties must be defined and a determination made as to whether that position will be labor or management. Selectman Dudek stated the current Town Foreman does more than the Contract says he does. First Selectman Klein noted the current Town Foreman is hands on. Selectman Sipples noted he didn't think the Board members were all on the same page. He briefly reviewed the interpretation of giving KMEA members preference. Sipples noted the Contract says that if a KMEA member is qualified, the Town does not have to advertise the position to the outside. Dudek noted he would go on record saying he disagreed with that statement and the Town should get a legal opinion from its attorney. Selectman Sipples asked First Selectman Klein to look into the matter of preference for KMEA members. There was much discussion back and forth among Board members and members of the public as to the interpretation of what the KMEA Contract implies relative to this matter. Selectman Dudek quoted that section from the KMEA Contract. It was agreed to discuss this matter further in Executive Session (Potential Contract Changes and Negotiations) at the February 26, 2007 Board of Selectmen meeting.
Walter Adametz noted he is currently doing two positions and would like to do some shuffling of employees in the interim while this is being reviewed. He is currently an acting road foreman and mechanic. Selectman Sipples noted he did not have a problem with Selectmen Klein and Dudek discussing the "interim" portion of this matter, but most definitely wanted to be included in the Executive Session discussion on the 26th.
3. Multi-Year Capital Improvement - Update
First Selectman Klein noted he has not received any responses yet. Selectman Sipples noted there was one comment from the Tax Collector about moving a window and another response relative to combining operating and capital budgets.
7. New Business
1. Funding Request - Town Share of 2006 FEMA Grant for Vehicle Exhaust System - Fire Department
Motion by First Selectman Klein, second by Selectman Sipples, to request from the Board of Finance $5,376.00 for the vehicle exhaust system as a supplement to the 2006 FEMA Grant for the Fire Department. Voting in favor - Klein, Sipples. Opposed - none. Abstained - Dudek. Motion Carried.
2. BOS Approval for Waiver of Fee for Moving of Sign/St. Lawrence Church per Cathie Jefferson (F. Cunningham Request)
Motion by First Selectman Klein, second by Selectman Dudek, that the Board of Selectmen waive the fee for moving the sign/St. Lawrence Church per the request of C. Jefferson and F. Cunningham. Discussion followed. Selectman Sipples asked if it was normal procedure for the Board of Selectmen to waive this fee. First Selectman Klein noted it had been recommended by C. Jefferson ZEO. Selectman Sipples asked if the sign conformed to our Zoning Regulations. The response was yes. Voting in favor - Klein, Sipples, Dudek. Opposed - none. Motion Carried.
3. Traffic Committee; Traffic Issues at KES & Middle School
Selectman Dudek asked that the issue of Traffic Control Officers be put on the next meeting agenda for February 13th for further discussion. Selectman Sipples reviewed the hours needed for traffic control at both the Elementary School and the new Middle School. Middle School from 7 to 7:45 AM. KES from 8 to 8:30 AM and 3 to 3:30 PM. Motion by Selectman Sipples, second by Selectman Dudek, that First Selectman Klein contact Don Berry to see if he would be interested in doing traffic control duty as a short term solution starting immediately. Voting in favor - Klein, Sipples, Dudek. Opposed - none. Motion Carried. Selectman Dudek noted that in First Selectman Klein's discussion with the Board of Finance at their next meeting, he should alert them to the fact additional dollars will be required for traffic control. An additional person will also have to be appointed.
8. MK Announcements
First Selectman Klein noted he spoke with Gary Mala and the new Financial Director for Region 17 relative to the possibility of the Town of Killingworth piggybacking on Region 17's insurance, as the Town of Haddam currently does. Selectman Sipples noted he spoke to Tony Bondi (Haddam First Selectman) who indicated the Town of Haddam saves a lot of money by doing this. Sipples asked if the Town of Killingworth had ever considered this in the past. The response was no.
First Selectman Klein noted they cut some trees down on Green Hill Road. He urged anyone traveling in the community who sees trees that might be a threat should let him know so a determination can be made as to what should be done with them.
Selectman Dudek asked if First Selectman Klein had heard anything from CCM on the electricity bid. Mr. Klein replied no. Selectman Dudek noted he was disappointed in CCM as he has requested information from them and has received nothing. The Town is paying CCM $4000 to be a member.
9. Selectmen's Concerns - none.
