Moderator Goldstien, 
October 3rd, 2022
Sir 
| am requesting that the Representative Town Meeting via one of the standing committees
investigate and possibly create an ordinance implementing fees for the Town of Waterford Fire
Marshal's office permits and inspections as allowed under Connecticut law.
All of the expansion our Town is currently enjoying also brings a larger demand for some
services including fire safety plan review and annual inspection. Connecticut law allows the
Town via ordinance to establish a fee schedule for such services. Implementing fees can offset
the cost of operation of the Fire Marshal office and possible blunt future increases to the
taxpayers. Some of our neighboring communities such as Montville and Groton have
implemented such ordinances and are enclosed for review. | have spoken with Fire Department
Director Howley about my request of which he supports.
| thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully submitted
Timothy Condon
