RE: Letter to RTM regarding Town of Waterford Code of Ordinances, Title 9, Chapter
9.08 Mass Gatherings
Dear Moderator Driscoll:
| respectfully request that the Waterford RTM review and take action to revise the Town
of Waterford Ordinance Title 9, Public Peace, Morals & Welfare, Chapter 9.08 Mass
Gatherings, and its applicability to gatherings on public property. A copy of the
ordinance is attached.
In the fall of 2025, community members notified the Town Police Chief of plans for an
assembly of 200 to 1999 people for a peaceful rally. The Police Chief advised them that
the activity could require the approval of the Board of Selectmen and be subject to the
provisions of Chapter 9.08, which applies to “Mass Gatherings.” After receiving
approval from the Board of Selectmen at their meeting on 09/09/2025, the organizers
were provided with a copy of the license application.
The license application and the conditions for issuance proved burdensome and
ultimately insurmountable to carry out a planned rally of three hours or less: for
example, requiring thirty days advance notice; a plan for portable toilets, security and
fire protection; insurance indemnification, etc.
While it is certainly necessary that the safety and well-being of all people should
be a priority for the Town government, in this case the determination that this activity
should be subject to the provisions of Ordinance 9.08 revealed that: 1. the definitions
are too broad, 2. the statute was improperly applied, or 3. the existing license
application is prohibitive for a gathering whose sole purpose is to exercise the
people’s First Amendment rights of free speech and assembly.
State of Connecticut law permits towns to regulate public gatherings, and a wide range
of procedures and permitting requirements have been adopted. In the City of New
London, a site permit is completed that requires the date, location, number of attendees
expected, and a determination of whether a noise permit is required. The administrative
We respectfully request that the RTM revise or amend the Town Code of Ordinances
and clarify the permitting procedure to ensure that the First Amendment rights of the
citizens of Waterford and the community at large are protected and guaranteed.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Jacques

I’m organizing a protest
Your rights
Your rights are strongest in what are known as “traditional public forums,”
such as streets, sidewalks, and parks. You also likely have the right to
speak out on other public property, like plazas in front of government
buildings, as long as you are not blocking access to the government
building or interfering with other purposes the property was designed for.
Private property owners can set rules for speech on their property. The
government may not restrict your speech if it is taking place on your own
property or with the consent of the property owner.
Counterprotesters also have free speech rights. Police must treat
protesters and counterprotesters equally. Police are permitted to keep
antagonistic groups separated but should allow them to be within sight
and sound of one another.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to
photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the
police. On private property, the owner may set rules related to
photography or video.
Do I need a permit?
You don’t need a permit to march in the streets or on sidewalks, as long as
marchers don’t obstruct car or pedestrian traffic. If you don’t have a permit,
police officers can ask you to move to the side of a street or sidewalk to let
others pass or for safety reasons.
advance of the planned event, police can t use t
p
prevent a protest in response to breaking news events.
Restrictions on the route of a march or sound equipment might violate the
First Amendment if they are unnecessary for traffic control or public safety,
or if they interfere significantly with effective communication to the
intended audience.
A permit cannot be denied because the event is controversial or will
express unpopular views.
If the permit regulations that apply to your protest require a fee for a
permit, they should allow a waiver for those who cannot afford the charge.
What to do if you believe your rights have been violated
When you can, write down everything you remember, including the
officers’ badge and patrol car numbers and the agency they work for.
Get contact information for witnesses.
Take photographs of any injuries.
Once you have all of this information, you can file a written complaint with the agency’s
internal affairs division or civilian complaint board.

Dear Mr. Brule,
The Utility Commission respectfully requests a special appropriation of funds in the amount of
$110,721.00 to be transferred to the Water Fund L.L. # 21131-52040 Service Contracts & Repairs
This transfer request is being made to reimburse the City of New London for the emergency
repair of a water main break in July of 2025 on Quinley Way. The City of New London is not
seeking reimbursement for labor, materials, or equipment reimbursement, but only the costs for
the paving and traffic control services provided to restore the roadway after repairing the main.
These repair costs meet the definition of material costs as outlined in the Waterford/New London
Interlocal Water Agreement (W/NLIWA), which states: “Material”, as applied to the cost or
expense of a particular repair or maintenance, means greater than or equal to $5,000 adjusted on
accumulative basis at a rate equal to the Escalation Index as of the April | immediately preceding
the date of adjustment...” Currently using the ENR Construction Costs Index as prescribed in the
W/NLIWA, the Escalation Index is equal to 3.13 making the adjusted threshold for material
costs $15,658. As such per the W/NLIWA: “A repair the expensive of which is Material shall be
paid for as a Capital Improvement.”
Thank you.
