share a thoughtful reflection on the year’s progress through this Annual Summary.
It is a privilege to work alongside Selectman Rich Muckle and Selectman Greg
Attanasio as I present the 2025 Board of Selectmen Annual Report.
In 2025, as the First Selectman, I presented the Board of Selectmen (BOS) a FY26
Total Town Budget (Operating, Capital and Debt Services) with an increase of just
(.75%) or $373,394. The increase of the 34 town department budgets or “Total
General Government Operations” was $895,213 (2.28%). While ensuring town-side
operating, capital and debt service funding increased just (.75%), it enabled my
office, and the town, to continue to work with the Board of Education to “offset”
‘ 
their FY26 increase in operating costs of $2,217,127 (3.85%)

or a total BOE operating budget of $59,828,308, not
including capital, fleet, insurance, school debt and retirement
costs. Previous annual general operating budget showed
modest increases presented by the First Selectman of 1.32%
in FY22, 1.25% in FY23, 1.65%. in FY24, 2.07% in FY25,

The First Selectman and Emergency Management Director, Steve Sinagra, continue
to attend the annual Connecticut Emergency Management Symposium at Camp Nett
in Niantic. This past symposium allowed me the opportunity to speak directly with
DESPP Commissioner, Ronald Higgins, about the Town’s $6.9M State Bonding
Request Application to replace our aging radio system and join
the state radio system, ensuring first responder communications
and mutual aid in the event of an emergency. Unfortunately, in
2025, the Town of Waterford was awarded just $1.5M in state
bonding. With the possibility of $1M in additional funding from
the Nuclear Safety Grant in 2026, it still leaves the remaining
balance for the town to finance. This “process” took over two

Public Parking lot as a state/town $1M capital project. Waterford residents will now
have accessible after-hour parking and additional parking for Waterford businesses
during peak summer months and will eventually “connect” to the $2M Niantic River
Road Sidewalk Project, slated for 2026 by a recently approved Southeastern
Connecticut Conference of Government’s LOCIP grant.

WALKWAY AROUND THE POND

Tennis Courts. 
The newly renovated Arnold E.
Holm Jr. Memorial Park officially saw additional
benches installed for residents who needed shorter
walking distance between benches. The past year
also saw the Gardiner Foundation donate $40,000 towards a much needed shade
structure at the park’s playground, with the install scheduled for the spring of 2026.
Road paving and town safety projects remained a priority. Road paving projects
continue to include the Utility Commission replacing 30-year old plastic water
connectors with copper piping, prior to road paving, eliminating the possibility of
leaks forming under the newly paved roads. Finally, in a supportive bipartisan vote
in town of 32-3 (Board of Selectmen 3-0, Board of Finance 6-0 and RTM 23-3) the
building of a new town-owned firehouse was approved. The building and land was
purchased by the town for $1 and will be the future home of the first town-owned
fire station in Waterford. Construction is expected to start in early 2026.

Fleet Management Plan
In 2025, the Town received seven large pieces of apparatus for Public Works,
including a Sweeper for $249,792, a Front Load Refuse Truck for $401,472, a new
Chassis for the Tree Truck for $187,014, three DPW Dump Trucks for $389,344 and
a Side Load Refuse Truck for $212,099. The Public Works Department and the
Police Department fleet plans remain a priority, while future Fleet Plans will
highlight fleet needs for the Waterford Fire Department. Although supply chain
issues have occurred, the Town of Waterford remains in good position to purchase
the fleet necessary to keep our town safe and operating efficiently. The Town
continues to remove vehicles and equipment from the fleet in an effort to reduce the
size of the fleet. The new Municipal Complex’s 70,000 square foot garage continues
to 
keep 
our 
trucks 
and 
other 
fleet
equipment inside and protected from the |

elements. The DPW’s incredibly important |gqqyyuee ae

Finally, thank you to the Economic Development Commission Chairman, Mike
Buscetto, and the Interim Planning Department Director, Mark Wujtewicz, who
worked closely with my office on development options for the Crystal Mall property,
providing flexibility for the three owners of the mall property and a much needed
tax revenue for Waterford residents. The town continues to look for new economic
development that will have long-term effects and will enhance our Net Taxable
Grand List, including the Airport Property and areas in town that could create a
Waterford “Main Street.”

The Town continues to find creative and effective
=| 
ways to reduce costs to taxpayers by supporting the
Friends of Nevins Cottage, Inc. established in 2024.
The picturesque vernacular house dates to c. 1890 and
was a tenant house located on the Shaw-Perkins-
Nevins farm that occupied acreage on both sides of
mm 
Rope Ferry Road. The property descended through
eee the family of successful New London merchant

then to his daughter Cornelia L. Perkins Nevins who
married David H. Nevins of Norwich. The title of the farm was settled to a daughter
of the Nevins’, Anna Nevins, who lived until 1958. She began selling offthe portions
of the farm on the north side of Rope Ferry Road in the early 1950s. Nevins Cottage
was purchased from Anna Nevins' estate by the town in 1961.
The Friends group successfully completed the exterior renovation in 2025. Spring
of 2026 will see the Friends group focus on the interior renovation with demo being
donated by Waterford small business, Bayside Construction. Interior painting,
electrical work and heating needs will restore and maintain this historic building
through in-kind and private sector donations. Reducing the cost of historic
preservation to the town by over $250,000.
