Funding Transfers
Dear Mr. Brule:
The Department is requesting an in series transfer of $65,000 from 10130-53300
Highway Materials to 10130-53070 Automotive Repairs. To date only $7,000 is
unencumbered in the Automotive Repair Line.
The Automotive Repair line has been struggling the entire year. Repair parts and
materials have increased in pricing not seen before during this fiscal year.
Examples of our pricing inflation are:
* 
300lb sheet of Hardox (steel) 450, 2/09/2021 was $655. Today- $858 difference of
$203 per sheet. Refuse truck body's use 4 sheets.
* 
Rubber plow blades, average, then $202 now $387 per blade- $185 difference.
® 
Refuse truck spring replacement- avg now $3612 then $2287- $1324.86
difference.
* 
Engine and hydraulic oils are increased by 15%.
1. 
15W40- $1.37 to $1.57
2. 
Hydraulic- $6.85 to $7.87
3. 
5W30- $4.59 to $5.27
The immediate impact to Public Works operations concerns our snow removal
fleet. One plow truck H-36 is dead lined for repairs (estimated cost of $12,000 for
turbo, cylinders) and two other trucks also used far snow removal are working with
identified deficiencies. There are no backups for these vehicles, thus to provide
the same tevel for snow removal, the trucks must be repaired.
The impact to the Highway Materials line item will be minimal. The Department
also has funds in Line 10130-55010 Town Aid Roads which is also used for
materials. If both of these accounts are depleted, the Department has flexibility in
moving its forces from constructing to roadside vegetation management activities.
We request to be on the Agenda for the next Board of Selectman meeting
scheduled for Tuesday December 7, 2021,

would include emptying the book drop to a cart and bringing in the building.
Here is a bastc list of what we would be responsible for:
J). Thoroughly clean, sanitize and stock all restrooms and kitchenettes. (sweep and mop floors)
2}. Remove all trash from bullding to dumpster that you provide.
3). Clean entry glass doors and sanitize doorknobs, crash bars, light plate switches, etc.
4). Vacuum carpets and mats.
5). Wipe with disinfectant counters, ledges and desks (if cleared)
Price would be $430.00 per full week. We can pro-rate if service is a partial week.
! we can help you out with this, we can start as soon as Monday evening. We would like to send a supervisor
to walk through the areas and get keys and codes either tomorrow or Monday. Please advise.

To: Waterford Planning and Zoning Commission, RTM Moderator and Majority and Minority leaders
Cc: Board of Selectmen
From: Waterford Economic Development Commission
Subject: Cannabis Policy Recommendations
In reference to Public Act 21-1, ANACT CONCERNING RESPONSIBLE AND EQUITABLE REGULATION OF
ADULT-USE CANNABIS, Waterford Economic Development Commission (EDC) recommends the following;
EDC supports permitting of both a retailer and a micro-cultivator in Waterford. If these are not
permitted in Waterford, their corresponding tax and fee revenues will simply flow to neighboring towns.
EDC recommends using existing ordinances and regulations regarding package stores and
liquor permitting as a blueprint for permitting activities on-premises, signage, hours of operation, and
proximity restrictions with regard to certain protected locations within the municipality.
EDC suggests Cross Road and Route 85 as possible retail zones to keep cannabis retail distant
from schools, while providing maximal revenue-driving traffic from |-95, I-395, and local roads.
EDC recommends a comprehensive ordinance to prohibit individuals from smoking and vaping
on public streets, sidewalks, parks and properties, including tobacco, e-cigarettes, and cannabis,
punishable by a $50 fine.
EDC does not recommend a fine for restaurants that allow smoking or vaping in outdoor areas, so
long as such locations are not patio or sidewalk seating that encroaches on municipal property as
outlined in the public smoking and vaping ordinance recommended above.
Attachment: OPM Guidance on Public Act 21-1
Sincerely,
QD te
Dan Radin, Chair

Delivery and Transport: Municipalities cannot prohibit the delivery of cannabis to
(1) consumers or (2) qualifying medical marijuana patients or their caregivers, if the
delivery is made by someone authorized to do so under the bill (e.g., delivery
services). It also bars municipalities from prohibiting the transport of cannabis to,
from, or through the municipality by anyone licensed or registered to do so.
Ban on Certain Actions and Local Host Agreements: 
The bill prohibits
municipalities or local officials from conditioning any official action on, or accepting
any donations from, any cannabis establishment or applicants for cannabis
establishment licenses in the municipality. The bill also bars municipalities from
negotiating or entering into a local host agreement with a cannabis establishment or
license applicant.
Charge for Initial Public Safety Costs: The bill allows municipalities, for the first 30
days after cannabis retailers or hybrid retailers open, to charge them up to $50,000
for any necessary and reasonable municipal costs for public safety services
related to the opening (such as for directing traffic).
Sec. 84 - effective October 1, 2021: Allows municipalities to prohibit consumption of
cannabis in public areas and to establish fines for use of cannabis in such areas.
Existing law in place through September 30, 2021 - Allows a municipality to
regulate, on any property owned by the municipality, any activity deemed to be
deleterious to public health, including the lighting or carrying of a lighted cigarette,
cigar, pipe or similar device. 
This provides sufficient authority to regulate the
consumption of cannabis of any form in the interim.
Regulation of Smoking and Cannabis Use: Existing law allows municipalities to
regulate activities deemed harmful to public health, including tobacco smoking, on
municipally-owned property. The bill broadens this to include property that a
municipality controls but does not own. For the purposes of this section, property
that a municipality controls includes, but not limited to, sidewalks, parks, beaches,
municipal land and buildings, etc. It specifies that this regulatory authority applies
to (1) smoked or vaped tobacco or cannabis, and (2) other types of cannabis use or
consumption.
For municipalities with more than 50,000 people, if they regulate the public use
cannabis, the regulations must designate a location in the municipality where public
consumption is allowed. This section does not require that such municipalities
provide for a location where any or all forms of cannabis can be consumed, but only
some forms of cannabis can be consumed. The most common forms of cannabis
consumption are smoking, vaping, and edibles. Through regulations, municipalities
may set fines for violations by individuals regarding outdoor consumption of
cannabis of wp to $50.

General Zoning Authority and Restrictions: Allows municipalities to amend their
zoning regulations or local ordinances to take the following actions regarding
cannabis establishments:
1. prohibit them from opening;
2. reasonably restrict their hours and signage; or
3. restrict their proximity to religious institutions, schools, charitable
institutions, hospitals, veterans’ homes, or certain military establishments.
Municipal chief zoning officials are required to report these zoning changes to the
OPM Secretary and DCP. They must report in writing within 14 days after adopting
the change.
Affirmative Zoning Approval for Retailers and Micro-Cultivators: Until June 30,
2024, municipalities are prohibited from granting zoning approval for more retailers
or micro-cultivators than a number that would allow for one retailer and one micro-
cultivator for every 25,000 municipal residents, as determined by the most recent
decennial census. Beginning July 1, 2024, the DCP commissioner may post on the
department's web site a specific number of residents such that no municipality shall
grant zoning approval for more retailers or micro-cultivators than would result in
one retailer and one micro-cultivator for every such specific number of residents, as
determined by the commissioner.
In order to ensure compliance, the bill requires a special permit or other affirmative
approval for any retailer or micro-cultivator seeking to be located within a
municipality. 
A municipality must not grant the special permit or approval for any
applicant if an approval would result in exceeding the density cap set by the bill or
DCP Commissioner. The purpose of the special permit or other affirmative approval
is not to require a public meeting or any other steps or procedures than would
otherwise be required under a municipality’s zoning ordinance, but rather to ensure
that no more retailers or micro-cultivators are granted zoning approval than the
number allowable under the legislation.

To First Selectman Robert Brule and Board Members Jody Nazarchyk and
Elizabeth Sabilia,
As David Collins has reported in The Day (November 24), and as I’ve
observed in my walks at Seaside State Park, David Mortimer has constructed a
very large home. next to Seaside and has seemingly taken control of areas that are
not his. He has put up “Police Take Notice” signs and blocked safe accéss to a
beach.widely enjoyed by walkers, Especially noteworthy is his fence that blocks
the steps that provide a safe Way to get over a state-built “groin” that stretches
out into Long Island Sound.
The DEEP first nixed Mr. Mortimer’s plans, then sloppily okayed them, in
violation of laws protecting public:access:
| will be writing ta my state legislators and to The Day, but | am starting
with you folks. Local governments rightly have some clout when there are issues
involving state parks in their towns.
Please look into this, and take all necessary steps to protect the long-held
rights of Waterford citizens, and others, who love to stroll, enjoy the views, and
usé the steps to safely cross the groin and keep on strolling.
Thanks.
Sincerely, 
_
