RTM Meeting on April 5, 2021 Comments,
Item #1 $250,000 to be named “Crystal Mall Redevelopment Feasibility Study”
Several years ago, I believe it was 2014 the Town did a “Feasibility Study for the Oswegatchie
Fire House”. It was deemed at that time the fire house needed to be replace. There was a lot of
problems the major one being “shoring”. To this day a post in the ladies room is holding up the
roof. After spending an enormous amount on this “Study” NOTHING was done.
Here we are in 2021 some years later the Town wants to spend more money on “Feasibility
Study” to a tune of $250,000 on the “Crystal Mall which the Town of Waterford does not own.
T will use a statement that was made from a Board of Finance member “REMEMBER YOU
ARE SPENDING THE TAXPAYER’S MONEY”,
I strongly urged ALL you board members to vote NO,
Thank You,
Helen Kwasniewski

¢ Retain the two-payment system for Real Estate tax bills, providing for collections

* Real Estate tax bills over $100.00 would be collected in two equal installments,
due July 1, 2021, and January 1, 2022.
e Real Estate tax bills of $100.00 or less would be due in full July 1, 2021,

© Motor Vehicle Supplemental tax bills would be due in full January 1, 2022,
These bills are for vehicles registered after the assessment date.of October 1,
2020, but before August [, 2021.

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

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

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 in a single installment. In case of

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 ari amount not in excess of one hundred dollars
shall be due and payable in a single payment when so determined by the appropriating

Committee Report

To Members of the Waterford Representative Town Meeting,
Please let this serve as the committee report of the Waterford Public Protection and Safety
standing committee of the RTM, for item referred by the RTM body at the August 8' 2020
meeting, titled “Review of creation of an Ad Hoc committee in regard to Fire Services.”
The Committee met multiple times to review the letter and to make recommendations as to
the scope and participation of a possible ad hoc committee. The committee first addressed
whom should serve on the committee. A vote on consensus was taken to recommend three
members of the RTM; one of which should come from the Public Protection and Safety
standing committee, one member of the Board of Finance, one member of the Board of
Selectman, advisory non-voting members consisting of the Director of Fire Services,
Waterford Ambulance Service Manager, Emergency Management Director, one Volunteer
Fire Chief, one Full time Career Firefighter. The Committee then focused on a charge of the
ad hoc committee. It was discussed at length the various issues facing our fire service and
the recommendation made and voted upon is “To review and propose possible changes to
the Waterford Fire and Emergency Services in the interest of public safety.” These
recommendations were passed with unanimous consent and are brought to the RTM as
requested. It is important to note that the charge of the PP&S was not to recommend the
creation of an ad hoc committee but to make recommendations on committee members and
acharge. The creation of an ad hoc committee is left to the body of the RTM on a manner to
proceed should the membership choose to do so. As chair | look forward to presenting the
information and RTM member’s questions under new business.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Rob Brule, First Selectman
FROM: Abby Y. Piersall, AICP, Planning Director
DATE: January 27, 2021
TITLE: Request to appropriate $50,000 in Designated Funds from FY21 Capital and Non-Recurring
Expenditure Fund line 20511-57857 (Civic Triangle Upgrades).
This request is to appropriate the $50,000 designated in the FY21 Capital Budget for Civic Triangle
Improvements, The FY21 request for Capital funding prioritized construction of a boardwalk along the
east side of the Duck Pond. This appropriation would fund design and permitting services for pedestrian
improvements including an accessible boardwalk and paths to create a complete walkway around the
pond and connecting to the gazebo and playground area, Library, sidewalk on Rope Ferry Road, and
nearby wooded paths. A draft RFP for consulting services is attached.
Appropriating funds for design and permitting is the first and necessary step toward building pedestrian
improvements. As part of this phase of the project, the Town will work with the selected consultant to
develop construction documents and cost estimates. This information will become the basis for funding
construction. Should the design, permitting, and construction services fees amount to less than $50,000,
the remaining funds in this appropriation would be spent on signage and landscaping projects around the
pond. Projects may include pollinator gardens, pond edge planting to deter geese, or similar projects.
The image on the left shows
the area along the edge of the
pond where a_ boardwalk
would be designed. The
selected consultant would also
design connecting paths and
upgrades to the bridges around
the pond (right) to improve
accessibility.
