RE: Notice of Expired Plan of Conservation and Development
Dear Secretary Beckham and Commissioners Eucalitto, Dykes, and O’ Keefe:
In accordance with Section 8-23 of the Connecticut General Statutes (CGS), | am notifying you that the
Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD) for the Town of Waterford was last adopted by its Planning
and Zoning Commission on June 8, 2015, and is considered to be expired because it is more than 10 years
old. Asa result, the Town of Waterford is ineligible for discretionary state funding until the Planning and
Zoning Commission adopts a new POCD.
The POCD has not been revised and adopted due the revision process taking longer than expected. The
final draft of the plan is currently being reviewed by the Town of Waterford Planning and Zoning
Commission.
Until such time that a new POCD is adopted, I understand that the Town of Waterford must attach a copy
of this letter to each application for discretionary state funding that is submitted to an administering state
agency. Furthermore, | understand that an administering state agency will not consider an application
submitted by the Town of Waterford as eligible for discretionary state funding, unless the OPM Secretary
has expressly waived such prohibition. | intend to initiate the waiver request process only if there is a

need for the Town of Waterford to apply for discretionary state funding during the period that its POCD
is expired.
In summary, | would like to reaffirm the Town of Waterford’s commitment to a thorough and
comprehensive public process for developing its POCD.
Sincerely,
Robert J. Brule, First Selectman
