RTM Minute 02/01/2021 3

We ask that the following be read into the public record:
To the Waterford RTM Education Standing Committee,
We are writing to thank you for the conversation held during your December 1, 2020 meeting. It
addressed some of the concerns we raised in the letter we sent to you in September (please see
attachment), During your meeting, we were pleased to hear Superintendent Giard clearly
describe the initial steps taken by the school district and the long-range goals it has adopted.
Additionally, First Selectman Brule shared what steps he is considering based on what
Superintendent Giard and the BOE develop. Those presentations and the conversation that
followed were important first steps in identifying actions the RTM can take to educate its
members and review town policies and practices.
Considering the requests made in September, we again ask that the Education Standing
Committee not only hear what other Waterford officials and agencies are doing, but also consider
what steps the entire RTM needs to take. We maintain that, as elected representatives of the
people of Waterford, it is the RTM’s responsibility to ensure that all boards, committees, and
employees are equitable and knowledgeable. As the town’s governing body, your actions can
have a far-reaching impact on increasing equitable practices, rewriting and developing policies
that support our increasingly diverse community, and preventing racially biased actions by town
employees and officials. We can do better in providing living, working and learning
opportunities for everyone in our town.
We ask the Education Standing Committee to assure that all town employees, elected officials
and members of town boards and commissions receive initial and updated training around
diversity, equity and inclusion. This training must not be a one-time event but an ongoing and
embedded part of the organizational culture that's grounded in.the specific needs of our
community.
There is no question that discussions of justice and inclusivity are often as difficult as they are
important. However, we are expecting that our elected representatives will rise to this challenge
and create a space for our community to discuss these vital issues,

Education Standing Committee of the RTM
Committee Report with Recommendation March 15, 2021 9
Social Justice i)
BACKGROUND: =
At the October 5, 2020 meeting of the Representative Town Meeting, the topic of Social Justice
was placed into the Education Standing Committee. The topic was placed in committee as the
RTM had received a letter from the Waterford members of Niantic Community Church.
SUMMARY:
The Education Standing Committee met on November 10,’ 2020 to review the letter submitted
and initiate a plan to address the concerns brought forward by residents. At that meeting it
was decided to involve both the First Selectman and Superintendent of schools at the
December 1, 2020 meeting to address what is happening at the Town and School levels. On
December 1, 2020, both First Selectman Brule and Superintendent Giard met with the
Education Standing Committee and signatories of the letter submitted to address what is being
addressed. On February 26, 2020, Elizabeth McGee from LEAP consulting presented regarding
the creation of a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Workgroup. On March 15, 2021, the
committee had their final meeting to discuss the importance of this issue and the need for the
DEI workgroup. It is the understanding of this committee that Elizabeth McGee is working with
town officials to create the DEI workgroup and will take charge of this process.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The issues of diversity, equity and inclusion are important to the town of Waterford. Many
different groups are engaged in the conversation and Elizabeth McGee is working to create a
DEI workgroup that will more specifically address the issues described in the letter from
residents. A motion by Greg Attanasio, seconded by Michael Rocchetti, to recommend
reporting the issue of “Social Justice” out of committee at the next meeting of the RTM and
allow LEAP Consulting Owner, Elizabeth McGee, to pursue the formation of a Town DEI Work
Group, that would be representative of the town, and that the RTM makes a formal request to
have representation on the work group. The motion passed unanimously.
All meetings are recorded for public viewing.
Respectfully submitted,
Danielle Steward-Gelinas
Chairperson

To be read into the public record:
To RTM Moderator Thomas Dembek and the Waterford RTM,
We are confident that the government leaders in Waterford share our concerns
about how people of color are included in our community and know that we can do
better in providing living, working and learning opportunities for everyone in our
town.. We are writing this letter to formally request that the RTM establish an ad-
hoc Social Justice committee to:
e
review hiring and contracting practices in all our town offices,
review housing and zoning practices in our town,
review practices followed by our law enforcement officials,
‘encourage our Board of Education to review policies in order to eliminate
racial inequities, punitive consequences, or exclusionary language that
perpetuates racism,
review symbols of racism that may exist in our town,
determine how our town web page and other social media might be inviting
to people of color,
based on the reviews to recommend and advocate for appropriate diversity
and sensitivity training around racism and implicit bias,
provide information about findings and progress to our larger community.
There is no question that discussions of justice and inclusivity are often as difficult
as they are important. However, we are hopeful that our elected representatives
will rise to this challenge and create a space for our community to discuss these
vital issues.

(EDA). if awarded, grant funds would pay for 56% of the total project costs, reducing the actual cost to
the Town to $125,000. Grant funds are distributed on a reimbursement basis, therefore an appropriation
for the entire cost of the project is sought at this time. An application for grant funding can only be made
if the funds are in place at the time of submission, If funds are approved, a grant application would most
likely be submitted in April.
The proposed Study has also been vetted and supported by representatives from the Southeastern CT
Council of Governments (SCCOG}, The Eastern CT Chamber of Commerce, Advance CT, and the
Department of Economic and Community Development. Owners of property at the Crysta! Mall have also
been approached, and the Town will continue to reach out to discuss their potential assistance.
The attached project scope includes three phases and is intended to produce results that are useful to
future investors and that guide future Town policies on the use of the property. The final package of
materials will include a clear community vision for desired development, technical reports to inform
developers, and marketing materials to assist in attracting interest. -

Crystal Mall. Spearheading a Feasibility Study for redevelopment will result in specific
tools to support redevelopment, including:
¥ Acatalog of similar properties and successful redevelopment results
nationwide,
Y Aredevelopment vision that reflects community and ownership
preferences and is grounded in regional economic realities and
opportunities. :
~ Areport documenting physical, regulatory, environmental, and financial
considerations for implementing the vision.
Vv Ananalysis of community and regional economic impacts.

e =Review market trends and community preferences
o Generate a list of 8-10 comparable communities/malls for further study,
o Create a portfolio summary for each property that includes community demographics, mall
characteristics, timeline of events concerning decline, closure, and redevelopment.
o From this information, develop a summary of challenges and lessons learned. Summarize the
successful elements of redevelopment. Highlight possible uses the Town may wish to prioritize
o Facilitate a community discussion about preferences for redevelopment. This may include mid
and long-term options. Include a proposed schedule of meetings for Town officials and for
public meetings/interaction.
o Perform an economic impact analysis to review local and regional impacts of the alternatives
that generate the most community interest. The analysis should include, but is not limited to,
an assessment of Job creation, new business development, private Investment, community
marketability, relationship of the proposed uses to regional trends and markets, and other
factors informing selection of the preferred redevelopment alternative.
o Assist stakeholders In narrowing the results to a preferred alternative.
o Provide a brief (5 page or less) summary of community process, discussion results, and the
reason for the selection of the preferred redevelopment alternative.
Phase fi
* Perform a feasibility analysis for the preferred redevelopment alternative, This should include:
o Review of local regional development and other factors that would influence the success of
the selected alternative.
o Review ownership and lease interests, and how they might be addressed during
redevelopment.

RE: Additional Appropriation for Radio Replacement
There are two low-band radio systems still in use in the Town of Waterford separate from the high-band
Harris radio system. One is the low-band fire base radio, This radio was replaced by Tactical
Communications a few years ago as an emergency replacement due to the failure of the aged base radio,
The cost of that project was $10,896.80; however, the invoice has not been paid.
The second low-band radio is a system used for connecting EMS from ambulances to the hospital
emergency departments on what is referred to as the “Med, Radlo System.” These low-band radio bases
exist in the Towns of Waterford and Groton. When the Waterford system is out-of-service for repair work
all calls from ambulances in the region are diverted to Groton. The Waterford Med. Radio has been out-of-
service several times over the past year. Waterford’s Med Base Radio was down for several days in March
of 2020 and cost $780.00 to repair. It was down again In June of 2020 at a cost of $650.00 to repair and
November, 2020 at a cost of $130.00 to repair.
Tactical Communications recommended replacing the Med. Radio System in 2017 due to Its age and service
life. The radios are approximately 20 years old, Replacement parts are no longer manufactured or
avallable for purchase, Part must be stripped from old radios to be used in our equipment, and there are
ho guarantees that working parts may be found,
The cost of replacing the Med. Radio System with new base radios is $20,012.19, | recommend that we
replace the Med. Radio System before we experience a permanent failure of this systern and are forced to
replace It on an emergency basis.
Funding for this project is not budgeted and would require an additional appropriation of funds. The total
cost of the completed replacement of the fire base radio and replacement of the Med Radio equipment is
$30,908.99,

Subject. Braman Road
Dear Mr. Brule,
This request is to appropriate the $280,000 designated in the FY21 Capital Budget for
Braman Road Resurfacing. There are funds designated in line item 20530-57885 in the
amount of $263,470.00. We request an additional amount of $16,530.00 from the
undesignated fund balance to complete this project.
Braman Road is a 5,834 linear foot major east/west road in the southern section of the
Town. The Pavement Management 2020 Update prepared by VHB pavement
consultants identified milling and reclaiming methods as the course of action to perform
before resurfacing the road. Milling is the removal of top course of the pavement leaving
an asphalt base to place the new asphalt on top. Reclaiming is when the entire asphalt
pavement is ground up along with the gravel base to form a new solid base for the new
asphalt to be placed on.
The project calls for the milling of the western end of Braman Road from the intersection
of Mary Butler Dr. to Great Neck Road (RT 213). Due to lhe condition of the toad from
Mary Butler Dr. to Pepperbox Road, we will reclaim that section of the road. After milling
or reclaiming, the entire road will be:
Resurfaced with 3 inches of asphalt.
The edge of road will be loamed and seeded.
Driveway aprons will be paved
Epoxy Traffic Markings will be re-established
There are no manholes in the read to adjust.

Jn the FY 21 Capital Improvement Fund, $134,080 was appropriated to reclaim and
resurface Gallows Lane from the intersection of Bloomingdale Road ta the City of New
London boundary line. In anticipation of performing the work this spring, the project was
re-estimated to ensure sufficient funds were available before entering into contracts.
The current estimate is $153,786. The increase from the previous estimate is due to
’ several factors:
« Pricing for reclaiming the road has increased from $5 to $6 sy.
« Pavement cost (in place) has increased from $75 to $80/ton.
These items are responsible for $2,739 of the increase.
* Previous estimates didn’t include costs for traffic markings (center line, stop
bars), loam and seed to re-establish the edge of roads, and the adjustment of
manholes. In the past, the typical practice was to charge these to the Public
