Radio Equipment/Communications and forward to the RTM as required.
Finance Director Allen reported that the request was not approved by the BOS. It
was discovered that pagers were not included in the original Radio Equipment
Capital request, so the item was withdrawn from the BOS agenda.
Mr. Tuneski shared that there are 3 ways of communication in that Fire
Departments communicate using radio, pagers and Streetwise. Which is a phone
app. He explained that pagers are the best way to get people to respond to fires
especially the volunteer fire fighters.
Finance Director Kim Allen, stated that a new request would most likely come
back to the board as an unbudgeted item.
Based on information from the Finance Director and Mr. Tuneski no action is
required for agenda item #6.

Police Chief, Marc Balestracci stated the request is to fund two projects:
updates/renovations of the Armory and the Evidence Room. This was to be an

parts availability the request is being made now to meet a state accreditation
deadline February 2025. Chief Balestracci noted he first site visit and inspection
as part of the accreditation is in February.

equals a total of $86,016 for both projects.

Steve Cardelle, Building Official is requesting the Out of Series transfer due to
new code books that are needed for the building inspectors due to the new state
codes. The code books cost $1,500 each and are needed for each building official
and other miscellaneous expenses are associated with the transfer request. He
also noted the department’s new hire is not licensed, will be taking classes, and
also requires code books to be able to be supported.
John Sheehan made a comment that there is a need to get building inspectors so
that we do not have to outsource inspectors so that we can keep it in house
rather than hiring consultants.
Director of Finance, Kim Allen informed the Board-that the Town has hired a new
Planning Director Johnathan Mullin, a Waterford Resident, who may come on
board with new ideas on keeping inspections in house instead of outsourcing.
Mr. Cardelle noted there is a state wide issue with being able to fill these
positions.
Motion by John Sheehan and seconded by Ronald Fedor to approve the
decrease of Building budget line 10118-51120 Salary (inspection) by $35,000 and
increase the Building budget line 10118-52030, Professional Services by $30,000
and increase the Building budget line 10118-52050, Dues, Conferences and
Education by $5,000.

Review and approval of the Board of Finance budget for FY24.
John Sheehan asked about the audit cost and the audit itself. Finance Director
Allen mentioned that here were new regulations this year for leases and there
will be new regulations next year as well. She also mentioned that she received
the draft of last year’s audit today and that the auditors still have a few things
that need to be fixed. Finally, Director Allen noted and that the RFP for the FY24
audit will go out in February.
Motion by John Sheehan and seconded by Ronald Fedor to approve the budget
for $70,159.
Vote: 6-0-0 Motion Passed.
Review and approval of the Contingency budget for FY24.
There was a discussion regarding the funds use and how it is supposed to cover
increases within the budget and is generally unanticipated. Ronald Fedor made a
point that it typically covers the departments on settling contracts. Chairman
Patterson agreed with Mr. Fedor that there may be value in updating the budget
guidelines around known contract settlements. John Sheehan made a comment
that it always ends up unexpected because the departments were generally told
no when they asked during the budget cycle.
Motion by John Sheehan and seconded by Robert Tuneski to approve the budget
for $265,000.
Vote: 6-0-0 Motion Passed.
Review and approval of the Debt Service budget for FY24.
Mr. Fedor raised a question at the numbers and stated that the interest is
increasing where the principal is decreasing, as he looked at the history.
Kim Allen stated that a couple of bonds do not have flat rates and the interest
rates fluctuate. John Sheehan made a comment about having all graphs in color
versus black and white. Kim Allen assured him that the book would be in color.
Chairman Patterson discussed the bar graph on page 2 and the expenditure
history and raised questions about the numbers ranging from 7.5 to 8.1 million.
Kim Allen states that the payment went up in FY22 (S7.9M), down in FY23
(S7.1M), peaks in FY24 ($8.1M), and then comes down.

Board review of proposed updates to BOF policy 1.02. “Submission of Agenda
Items”,
There was a discussion regarding changing the time period in which the Board of
Finance agenda is issued before the meeting giving the members enough time to
review everything before the meeting. There was also a discussion about making
the changes in RED for the next meeting.
Motion by John Sheehan and seconded by Joseph Filippetti to table the
discussion until the January Board of Finance.
Vote: 6-0-0 Motion Passed.
Continued discussion around revising BOF Policy 1.01, Board of Finance Budget
Guidelines to include Performance Metrics.
Robert Tuneski is asking that all applicable departments should be able to codify
what they are asking for by showing statistical measurability. There was a
discussion and agreeance with Board of Finance members that the departments
should be able to provide some metrics, they are not all going to be the same for
all departments. Data presented will be a meaningful way to compare year to
year that what is requested in the Budget is appropriate according to the backup
information and performance metrics. :
Chairman Glenn Patterson stated that he had a discussion with Ronald Fedor and
agreed Mr. Fedor be the Board’s go-between with the First Selectman, who is
working with the- departments to develop the metrics.
Finance Director, Kim Allen stated that the new software that Recs & Parks will
be receiving will be able to pull such metrics in a report. She would also like to
re-name the document something other than “Budget Guidelines”.
Board of Finance members agreed to carry the discussion as old business for the
January Board of Finance meeting.
There was a discussion about the latest property value assessments and how the
home assessments have increased by 35-37% this year. They also discussed the
concerns of the residents for tax time and setting the mill rate.
The Board and the Finance Director all agree that they need to get the word out
there to residents regarding the latest assessments and the increase in values as
this will also affect homeowner’s insurance rates with the market value.

17. New Business:
a. Board review and possible action on DRAFT Internal Control Policy.
Chairman Glenn Patterson has concerns regarding calling it a policy. He stated
that it is more like an instruction to a person that doesn’t really know the
meaning of Internal Controls. Page 1 seems to be more specific to the Town as a
whole versus page 5 which seems to be specific to Finance.
Mr. Peabody noted that many internal control policies outline disciplinary
actions for policy violations. Discussion followed as to who has the means to
enforce disciplinary action and if violations would be audit findings. It was also
questioned as to whether Internal Controls is truly a BOF policy since the policy
applies across town departments.
Director of Finance, Kim Allen will continue the discussion of the draft Internal
Control Policy with HR and the First Selectman and report back to the BOF.
b. Board review of Board of Finance Director email regarding the 2022 year-end
close out and the Audit Process.
Director of Finance, Kim Allen stated that this year’s audit was difficult, as
several departments were late turning in invoices and did not meet the year-
end deadline with spending. There were several changes that had to be
submitted to the auditors which resulted in more testing. The Director of
Finance cannot see overall all of the department heads.
Starting in January Director of Finance, Kim Allen will be going to each
Department doing audits which pertains to reviewing invoices, documents,
procedures. The big issue with the end of the year audits is not receiving or
receiving late information from the department heads, especially where
purchases fall under the Purchase orders threshold amount.
Finance should not have to chase down in the information needed for the
audits at the end of the year. There was some discussion of holding
department heads accountable for the future.
John Sheehan requested to see where funds were encumbered but not spent.
Director Allen said that any encumbrances will now be added to the Quarterly
Capital Reports.
Chairman Glenn would like to see a Board of Finance policy in the near future
regarding year-end closing.

Finance Director Update on potential legislation needed to close-out the High
School and Friendship School Project.
Kim Allen, Finance director contacted the state regarding both the high school
and the Friendship school projects. Board of Ed Finance Director Joseph Mancini
has signed off on the audit identifying that $790,741 of the costs of high school
construction were ineligible for state reimbursement, therefore the money is
owed back to the state.. Director Aleen noted that the town has not yet been
invoiced by the State.
Selectwoman Jody Nazarchyk noted that the school building committee should
get together to meet on the issue as they were unaware of the money owed to
the state.
Regarding the Friendship school project there was a discussion of the property
itself and when the building reverts to town ownership. It was stated that the
town takes ownership only if Learn vacates the building or when the building is
20 years old.
There was also a discussion to add the appointment of David Peabody to the Ad
Hoc Energy in new business for the January Board of Finance meeting.
Liaison Reports: Robert Tuneski reports that he met with both new Directors
Ryan McNamara, Recreation and Parks and James Bartelli, Utility Commission
are both busy and seem to be diving in and doing well.

Re: Request Funds for Capital Project Pagers
On behalf of the Waterford Fire Services, I would like to request funding of $25,000 for the .
replacement upgrade of pagers for our Volunteers. This project has been evaluated and the need
to replace and purchase upgraded pagers to increase our Volunteer response is needed. Many
pagers were serviced/repaired and many items came out of service and are older style. Most of
these pagers were purchased between 1992 & 2003, have met, and exceeded their life
expectancy. Currently these old pagers are using low band radio that will go out of service in a
couple of years as we will no longer maintain. Newer pagers are on our high band system have
better range and capabilities. With the age.and condition, I am recommending the purchase of
replacement paging equipment for our Volunteer personnel. Copies of pricing for paging
equipment is attached to this request. I estimate cost of $25,000 or less to complete equipment
replacement of 35 new Pagers. We have two Vendors we can purchase these items from and
recommend going with lower quote.

This request is for the purchase of 35 Unication G4 800 mhz pagers to work on the Waterford high band system. These
pagers will replace low band system pagers that have come out of service and out dated. These older models are not
worth repairing or upgrading as technology has changed. Many of our active volunteers do not have a pager or one that
works properly. This is a critical part of our Volunteer responces.

FIFTEEN ROPE FERRY ROAD WATERFORD, CT 66385
TO: Mr. Robert }. Brule - First Selectman
FROM: James A. Bartelli~ Director of Utilities
DATE: December 9, 2022
RE: Utility Commission - Capital Improvements Plan FY 24-28
Dear First Selectman Brule,
In summary, the major funding requests for FY 24 from CYC and Transfers to CNR are
as follows:
e Funding for the rehabilitation of the Old Norwich Rd Pump Station. The Old
Norwich Road Wastewater Pumping Station was builtin 1976 The components of
the station are original, utilizing the initial antiquated technology for which parts
are more difficult to procure, NFPA compliance and various components are in
need upgrades. Current needs for this station include the replacement of variable
frequency drives, replacement of the main electrical service panel; pum ps control
panel and instrumentation, replacement of the old inefficient main pumps and
upgrading of the station’s air handling components. There is a current ARPA
allocation of $1,152,300 and a CNR designation of $544,000 in LI # 20531-57816,
This project was placed out bid 6/30/22 all bids received far exceeded our
available funding, The average costs of the bids received was $ 2,030,088, An
additional appropriation of $400,000, from CYC is requested to fully fund this
project.
« Bloomingdale Rd. Water Pressure Improvements. Our request is to initiate a five-
year funding schedule for infrastructure improvements associated with the need to
increase the water pressure at the Gallows Lane/Bloomingdale Rd.area $440K/yr.
for the next five years. Total $2.2M from Transfers to Capital & Nonrecurring.
Me. Robert J, Brule ~ First Selectman ; FY24 Capital Improvements Plan
Page .
¢ Maintenance Division Shop Storage Building. The purpose of this request is to secure
funding for the construction of a small (40' x 60") metal storage building to be located at
the southwestern corner of the Municipal Complex site. In 2007 the WUC maintenance
shop was expanded from 3,100 sf. to about 8,700 sf. Since 2007, our operational and
infrastructure repair responsibilities have expanded due to our aging system. We
‘ employ more staff, and have more equipment; therefore, the need for more space, This
small storage building will be used to store and protect equipment, materials and
accessories - Metal Storage Building $90K from CYC
* Plastic Water Service Replacement. c
Initiate a multi-year funding schedule and program for the replacement of
plastic water services, This will be in conjunction with the DPW roads
improvement program, Schedule - $100/yr. from CYC for the next five years
and beyond until all the plastic services in Waterford are replaced.
¢ Pump Station Exterior Improvements, Continuing our roof, siding, driveways and
other exterior improvements at various stations, $50K FromCYc.
Regarding the Fleet Plan, an appropriation of $530,000 is being requested in order to procure
a large diameter mobile emergency by-pass pump for our main pumping station and for the
purchase of heavy machine equipment necessary to conduct routine and emergency
infrastructure repairs and smaller scale infrastructure improvements. Currently our
excavation and construction related rehabilitation activities are outsourced due to our lack of
the required equipment. Our staff is continually conducting more in-house preventive and
corrective activities at our pumping stations and on our collection system, Conducting these
activities in-house results in significant cost savings as compared to using private contractors,
even more so onan emergency hasis. As part of our program to conduct more in-house
activities the WUC is requesting within the Fleet Plan, the acquisition of an excavator, skid

2 [DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION (describe the type, purpose & anticipated accomplishments of the project)
Contract #1. |s the Town's very first sewer construction project, it commenced in 1970. This mainiine interceptor
_ {traverses through heavy wooded areas and wet soils. Access to the mainline and manholes are becoming increasingly
challenging. Accessibility is crucial in order to concluct a full assessment evaluation and to provide timely access to
conduct immediate or corrective repairs to the main or structures. This project will entail the re-creation of the original
easement access or creation of alternate access paints,

Accessibility wit! allow our staff to conduct our sewer system evaluation survey.
4 |DESCRIBE THE IMPACT ON DEPARTMENT OPERATING SUDGET (include cost estimate if applicable}
Minimal impact on operational budget, however, accessability will allow staff to conduct routine and emergency repairs
ina timely manner, in lieu of creating access on a emergency basis which will be far costly.

Contract #1 Sewer Interceptor
Access
Funding fs required for engineering, permitting, contract documents, bidding and ultimately
construction.
in order to obtain a budget costs estimate for this project, contract documents will have to be prepared.
There is much to consider when developing a costs estimate for this project. This project entails proper
planning and coordinated efforts with other Town and State agencies.
In the absence of engineered specifications and costs estimates, an example of minimal materlal costs
only is as follows: .
Material Estimates for formation of sub-grade
10” of 6-10 Riprap X 12’ x 13,000’ = 4,815 CY @ $26.00/ cY= $125,190
10” of 1.5” Process x 12” x 13,000’ = 4,815 CY @ $22.00/CY= $105,930
These estimated materials costs are simply an example and do not reflect any contracted costs nor any
of the other component costs required to reconstruct an easement access. The installation of cross
culverts, geotextiles and other earth Taterials will be required, additionally; wetlands mitigation costs is
a major consideration. |
The objective of this CIP request is to create an awareness of a current condition in effort to obtain the
necessary funding for engineering services to develop the needed contract documents to correct this
