Construction Dumpster” was gone. I said to myself “oh good the
Taj Mah Hall” bathrooms are done. Was I wrong, with that being said
I hope that there is a clause with a START and COMPLETION DATE
As well as.a clause IF completion date is not met. For example, each
day pass the completion date the Town of Waterford will deduct
amount agree upon. This is standard practice in the construction
industry.
Thank you.

Tax Collector c 3

Date: December 2, 2024
Subject: New Supplemental Tax Billings
The State of Connecticut has developed new legislation regarding motor vehicle
tax billings. Over the last two years, the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) in
conjunction with the Connecticut Association of Assessing Officers (CAAO), the
Connecticut Tax Collectors’ Association (CTx) and the General Assembly of the State of
Connecticut has passed legislation in order to simplify motor vehicle taxes.
The resulting legislation has established two major changes in the calculation and
billing of these municipal taxes. Although there are many aspects of the statutory
changes, these are the most significant.
1. Motor vehicle valuations will be changing from market value to
manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) on a fixed depreciation
schedule.
2. Supplemental motor vehicle registration lists will go from one time per year to
a monthly list that will be sent to the assessors’ offices. ‘
It is required that the governing body of each town establish the collection
parameters for all tax bills and although this is normally done at the final budget hearing
of the year, I felt that it would be proper to give notice to this body of my
recommendation for this new DMV protocol.

This format would provide for the following advantages.
1. More timely billings for the taxpayer as the current format can result ina
billing delay of up to 15 months,
2. The maintaining of the current expense for legal advertising as each collection
period requires three (3) legal advertisements at a current cost of $109.11 per
advertisement.
3. Maintaining the current calendar of mailings for delinquent tax bills.
I will be happy to attend a future meeting of the RTM in order to answer any questions
that the representatives may have regarding this change in tax billing.

Mr. Campo - Town Clerk, RTM Moderator Goldstein, and Minority
Leader Tim Fiorvanti,
I am writing this to you in your RTM capacity. This is also just a general
message for the RTM as a whole. I recently found out that the RTM
allocated a large sum of money towards new golf courses, but moved to
table a motion that would have allocated a smaller sum of money to help
fix a problem with flooding on the black top at one our town's public
elementary schools. This, in my opinion, should have been the main
priority of the meeting so our children could play outside again before the
winter months dwindle in.
I found it concerning that this was the allocation to motion rather than
funding for golf courses. In the future, I believe this legislative body can
do better and I urge that you allocate funding toward the flooding in our
schools next session - or even better, call for an emergency session to
allocate the funds ASAP.
Thank you,
Jason M. Kohl, Zoning Appeals Alternate

Subject: horrible experience
My name is Jeff Knight, and I'd like you all to be aware of how I've been treated. | went into the First
Selectman's office and spoke with Rob Brule on October 18, 2024, and explained to him my situation,
which is the following: I'm 67 years old, have diabetes, depression, anxiety, 2 bad hips, a bulging disc
in the lower left side of my back, and more, and I've been sleeping in my car for the past 3 months,
and now it's getting cold. | asked if he could point me in the right direction and possibly get me some
help, and he said yes. He took my information and told me that Dani Gorman from the Youth and
Family division would be the person to help, and told me he would forward her my information, and
she "was great". It is now October 29th, and | still have NOT been contacted by Gorman. To me, that
is a stab in the back, and also very rude, disrespectful, and extremely "UNPROFESSIONAL"!! It also
PROVES to me that she really "does NOT care at all". With my situation, and she has "REFUSED" to
make contact with me, and that is so cruel and pathetic!!! As far as I'm concerned, Gorman is a
horrible, rotten human being, and a huge pile of SHIT(pardon my language). She does NOT even live
in Waterford, so how do you think she treats other people, whether young or old??? As far.as I'm
concerned, she definitely needs to be "terminated". Last of all, I'd like to add that when | came home
from the hospital a few days after | was born, which was July 23rd, 1957, | went to 18 Olive St., which
is less than a quarter mile from the town hall, where | attended Jordan Elementary School.(which is
now the Town Hall. | also attended Clark Lane "JR High", and Waterford High, so I've been around
the town for way before some of you were born. | also wanted to add that Brule has not contacted me
either with any follow-up. Jeff Knight, 860-334-1287(c)
