RTM Moderator
Subject: Registrar of Voters. (ROV) Salary: Increase
Dear Mr..Moderator,
The ROV are requesting.a salary Increase based on the requirements of the job expanding and the
growing emphasis.and scrutiny.placed on the voting process over the last several years. A recent (July
2022) pay hike for elected officials in the town of Waterford increased our yearly salary 1,1% from
$23,923.56 to where it currently sits.at $24,192.72.
Office duties have increased due to the following:
* DMV voter registration is now automatic unless the person opts out. Waterford. voter ralls now
top 14,000. More voters create: more work processing changes.
© More training required by the Secretary of the State for cybersecurity and new: technology.
«= The Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) ts.an organization that assists member
states in improving the accuracy of its yoter rolls. Membership in ERIC increases avery year. Six
years ago we started with 5 states and. now that'number stands at 30. This is agood thing but It
generates increased workload during our Canvas season.
* FOi requests have greatly increased since 2020. These requests demand time to conduct
research to find the dacuments/answers they are looking for.
« Longtime poll workers have left. Finding, hiring and training capable workers is taking increased
time. Each election/primary requires 30-40 workers,
* The expansion of Absentee.Ballot options has created a surge of ballots to be processed and
counted. during the election. season requiring additional hires-and training.
To give you a sense of what other towns pay can prove difficult to show. The size of the town
determinés haw triany hours a ROV will work and then even that is difficult to compare due to some
towns using their deputies/assistants In a more active role in day to day operations.
The following towns are similar in size to Waterford and run:their offices like we do with the ROV’s
doing the vast majority of the work and the deputies coming in at busy times of the year (elections,
canvas, special projects) unless we are training someone-new.
The populations are from the 2020 census. Town of Waterford. population is 19,571.

East Lyme: (population 18,693
ROV salary $30,000, in addition to their salary, they receive a $1,250 stipend for each election,
primary and referendum.
Montville: {population 18,387)
ROV salary $22,000. In addition to their salary, they receive a $375 stipend for each election,
primary and referendum.
Berlin: {population 20,175}
ROV salary $37,000
(Even though they are similar in size to Waterford, they have 1500 more registered voters).
Rocky Hill: (population 20,845)
ROV salary $26,500 (Their budget Includes $18,000 for their deputies as compared with our
$3,000 for deputies)
We are requesting an increase to $30,000 per year and asking the RTM to place it on the
upcoming agenda,
Thank you,
Patti Waters

To whom it may concern:
lam. writing to you because | would like to put forth-a motion tothe town Council to.consider a
town ordinance regarding feral cat management. There is a growing problem with the feral cat
population especially in the Norman Street neighborhoad. There are currently no laws or
ordinances allowing the animal control officers to do anything to help: slow the growth of the
population. | would like to propose a potential solution that will allow them to. act on the problem
without assuming the responsibility of collecting the feral cats. | would like to propose: that if
there are known households that are feeding the feral cat community but are not participating
with cat rescues to at least try to spay and neuter the animals-that they can be cited for neglect
by the animal contro! officer. Once cited the animal contrat officer can then order that the owner
of the home must allow a cat rescue to came.in and trap the animals to have them spay and
neutered. We have several homes in our neighborhood alone that are currently feeding the
population and refuse to allaw anybody to trap the animals and so the population is growing.
Both the Humane Society arid our own ACO are aware of the problem as there have been many
complaints filed. Most of the animals. are full of parasites and worms and attract predators into
our neighborhoods. if Waterford can come up with a functioning policy on feral cat management
it could be offered up to. other commurities as-a solution and possibly even implemented
statewide using our footprint as a guideline. | hope to be able to speak with the town Council so
that we can get this-up and running if agreed-upon as. soon as possible.
Thank you for your consideration
Kristine. Wilcox

Comments:
I cannot attend tonight’s meeting BUT I would like me comments to be
READ AT THE RTM MEETING since I have taken time to submit my
concern/comments.
Item #5. urge ALL board members to NOT PASS this recommendation. Due to
that fact that this elevator is located in the OLD POLICE DEPARTMENT
BUILDING as known as the Waterford Youth and Family Center where personnel
has dwindle down to approximately 2 people. All of their co-workers at the
Waterford Community Center. Bring these workers to the Community Center and
closed this building which in turn the Town and residents will be saving all around
(heat/ac/maintenance etc.)
Item #6. this line item should NOT PASS by ALL board members. To refurbish
Town Hall bathroom to a tune of $237,090. This is not Foxwoods send this back to
the drawing board. Can’t the Public Work employees do this work for much less?
Items #8 & 9 Board of Assessment Appeals (BAA) wants two (2) additional
members for the revaluation year. The current staff can handle the BAA without
increasing staff as well as payroll. These appeals/meeting are 15 minutes long and
we do-not need all 3 of them at the same meeting with the residents. To ALL board
members I urge you NOT TO PASS these items.

To: All Waterford Boards & Commissions,
At the RTM Regular Meeting on October 3, 2022 discussion took place regarding the need to
provide public comment at public meetings for all Waterford Boards and Commissions. Further
discussion and deliberations took place at the December 5, 2022 Regular RTM Meeting. The
consensus of the RTM was that Public Comment is vital to an inclusive and transparent
government and should be part of Public Meetings. The RTM strongly recommends moving
forward that all Waterford Boards and Commissions make Public Comment an agenda item as
part of their meetings. The RTM recognizes that the timing and scope of such public comment is
best left to the judgement of each Board or Commission.
Sincerely,
Paul Goldstein, Moderator RTM

Re: Capital Improvement Projects (amended memo)
The Waterford Police Department plans to request two large renovation projects in the 2023-2024. town capital
improvement plan. These projects, totaling $86,016, are to update the evidence room-and armory within the
police:department. These projects are needed for. several reasons including more secure areas to hold evidence,
dedicated workspaces for officer safety when handling dangerous substances'and weapons and chain of custody.
improvements for court and liability concerns.
In- addition, the police accountability bill requires police departments-in the state to be accredited by 2025. As.we.
navigate through the lengthy process, which includes our first site visit from the state on February 16, 2023, we
need to,reach acceptable standards in these two areas.
As we have concerns about the cost of these projects increasing and the time it takes from funding request to
project completion, we are requesting this project be funded prior to the-2023-2024 capital improvement
request.
Thank you for any consideration.
Thank you,
