This collection schedule is recommended in order to keep the Town in compliance with
Connecticut General Statutes 12-142, 12-144, and 12-144a.
Sec. 12-142. Installments; due date. The legislative body of each municipality, upon
approving any budget calling for the laying of a tax on property, shall determine whether
such tax shall be due and payable in a single installment or in two semiannual
installments or in four quarterly installments and shall, unless otherwise provided by law,
designate the date or dates on which such installment or installments shall be due and
payable, subject to the provisions of section 7-383, in any municipality in compliance
with requirements concerning the uniform fiscal year under chapter 110; provided the last
installment of any such tax shall be due and payable not later than forty-five days before
the end of the fiscal year in which the first installment thereof is due and payable, and
provided any special tax shall be due and payable ina single installment. In case of
failure of the legislative body to determine when such tax shall be due and payable or
whenever the date on which such tax shall be due and payable has been determined,
however, (1) the preparation and mailing of rate bills for such tax is delayed until after
the date such tax is due or (2) such tax is not applicable to certain property until after the
date such tax is due, such tax shall be due and payable, with respect to all property or
property which becomes subject to tax after the date such tax is due, whichever is
applicable, not later than thirty days following the date on which rate bills for such tax
are mailed or handed to persons liable therefor. Except as otherwise provided by law, the
several installments of a tax due in two or four installments shall be equal, but any
taxpayer may pay two or more of such installments when the first is due.
Sec. 12-144. Payment of taxes of not more than one hundred dollars. Any property
tax due in any municipality of this state in an amount not in excess of one hundred dollars
shall be due and payable in a single payment when so determined by the appropriating
body of such municipality. _
Sec. 12-144a. Payment of tax on motor vehicles. Irrespective of the provisions of
sections 12-142 and 12-144, the appropriating body of each municipality, upon approving
any budget calling for the laying of a tax on property, shall determine whether such tax as
it applies to motor vehicles shall be due and payable in a single installment.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Thomas Dembek, Moderator, Waterford Representative Town Meeting
FROM: Abby Y. Piersall, AICP, Director of Planning and Development
DATE: May 18, 2020
TITLE: Proposed Changes to the Waterford Code of Ordinances Chapters 2.20 and 2.58, enabling the Facilities
Manager position to be moved from the Planning Department to the Department of Public Works.
Since June of 2014, the Planning Department has, by ordinance, overseen maintenance for Town buildings. In that
time, the building maintenance program has grown from providing assistance with repairs and capital planning to
planning and managing major repairs and renovations, handling routine maintenance calls, and developing an asset
management program. In January of 2020, the Town replaced the part-time Facilities Coordinator position with a
full-time Facilities Manager. This personnel change has further increased the Town’s capacity to plan for and
perform appropriate building maintenance.
Creating the full-time Facilities Manager position was accomplished with the understanding that the nature of the
work was most closely aligned with the Public Works Department. Moving the Facilities Manager to DPW would
provide the position with more resources for tools, labor, and technical support. The move would also enable the
Planning Department to direct more resources to economic development activities. Long-range facilities planning
would still be done in partmership with the Planning Director, but would be under the supervision of the DPW
Director.
The Planning Director, Public Works Director, and Town Attorney worked together to draft amendments to sections
2.20 and 2.58 of the Waterford Code of Ordinances to enable the position to move to DPW. The proposed
amendments are respectfully submitted for the RTM’s consideration and to forward to the appropriate committee for
review.

Re: 13 Parkway Drive
Potential Land Acquisition - Site Conditions / Findings
Commissioners: . ‘
Asite review of 13 Parkway Drive was conducted by this office on January 3, 2020. The Town of
Waterford is considering the parcel for potential acquisition.
GZ :ZlHd 82 NYE O02
The property is located along Alewife Cove and currently supports an area of mowed lawn, with sorb/
shrub vegetation bordering the north and south edges of the parcel. Tidal wetlands occur along the
eastern edge of the parcel bordering the cove, The site is apparently used to launch sraall craft into
Alewife Cove and 5 small watercraft were observed on site during this review. The land is level with
casy access to the water.
The Jand is located in the AB flood hazard zone, with flood clevation 10, Elevation of the property is 2to
4 feet above mean sea level. No structures or fill are evident, Some erosion of the shoreline sediment is
evident, likely due to wave action and disturbance from pedestrian use associated with launching of small
watercraft. :
The parcel is approximately 0.06 acres (@3,800 ft2) in area and lies immediately south of a Town-owned
and maintained parcel at 15 Parkway Drive, Combined with the Town parcel at 15 Parkway Drive, the
acquisition would increase frontage on Alewife Cove to 80" feet and will coxplement the existing Town
park located on the west side of Parkway Drive.
Acquisition of this land will increase open space and coastal public access to Alewifs Cove and Long
Island Sound and serve to preserve scenic and tidal resources, stated goals in the Town Plan of
Preservation, Conservation & Development. Management measures to promote and conserve tidal
wetland vegetation and shoreline stabilization are recommended. This may inchide interpretive signs,
restoration planting and establishing a specific watercraft access to minimize shoreline disturbance.
Site photographs and location mapping is attached.
Sincerely,
ZB
