TOWN COUNCIL CHAMBERS
DECEMBER 13, 2011
PRESENT Chair Richard F. Kehoe, Vice Chair William P. Horan, Jr., Majority Leader Barbara-Ann Rossi, Minority Leader Eric A. Thompson, Councillors Marc I. Weinberg, Linda A. Russo, Ram Aberasturia, Patricia Harmon and Robert J. Damaschi
CALL TO ORDER
Chair Kehoe called the meeting to order at 7:37 p.m. He announced the exit locations in accordance with Connecticut General
Statutes § 29-381, after which the Council joined him in the pledge of allegiance.
The Chair called for a moment of silence to honor the lives of three individuals who were part of the East Hartford community.
They will be missed.
Richard Begley, a longtime resident of East Hartford and U.S. Navy Veteran, was involved with the Patriotic Commission, the Zoning Board
of Appeals, Riverfest, Podunk Bluegrass Music Fest, the town’s homeless shelter, and went on to be a judicial marshal.
Joseph Connolly was an East Hartford High School graduate who became a teacher and taught in the South Windsor school system, was
heavily involved in the East Hartford Summer Youth Festival and served as a mentor to children who were in the summer youth programs.
Bette Tucker, the town’s Delinquent Tax Collector for seven years, was also an East Hartford High School graduate. She was highly
regarded for her professionalism performing her job duties and was a true asset to the town.
OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTS TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON AGENDA ITEMS
Susan Kniep, 50 Olde Roberts Street, (1) congratulated the Councillors for their recent victory in the November elections; (2) thanked the Mayor for a job well done during storm Alfred; (3) spoke to the issue of the wage chart as recommended from the Personnel & Pensions Subcommittee and suggested that the salaries of Directors be set by ordinance; (4) asked that the Council vote for executive session issues be delayed by one meeting – to give the public time for their input; (5) suggested that the vote for the Covanta contract be delayed until the Council has read the contract and the public has been given an opportunity to give their input; (6) inquired if the Special Joint Meeting with the East Hartford Housing Authority will be televised and asked that the call of the meeting be published in the Gazette and that the
public has an opportunity to comment at the meeting; and (7) suggested that the Republican Councillors advocate to have the East Hartford Housing Authority issue be on a Council agenda as a referral to the Investigation & Audit Committee.
To accommodate the next speaker, the following motion was made:
MOTION By Ram Aberasturia
seconded by Bill Horan
to waive the residency requirement under “Opportunity for
Residents to Address the Council on Agenda Items”.
Motion carried 6/3. Nays: Thompson, Harmon, Damaschi
Attorney Edward Spinella, representing Murphy Road Recycling, LLC and Trash Away, Inc., spoke against the bid waiver for Covanta Southeastern Connecticut Company, suggesting that the proposed savings may not be accurate compared to the additional expenses that the town may incur. Attorney Spinella asked that the Council table this issue.
Mayor Leclerc (1) asked that the Council refer the lease of the Raymond Library; (2) announced that a Day of Appreciation for those employees who helped out during storm Alfred will be December 17th at the new Firehouse #5; and (3) supports the Dial-A-Ride grant and urged the Councillors to support it also.

Bid Waiver: East Hartford’s Solid Waste Disposal and Recycling Services re: Covanta Southeastern Connecticut Company
MOTION By Bill Horan
seconded by Linda Russo
to waive the bidding requirements of Town Ordinance §10-7 and
authorize the Administration to enter into a three year contract, with two three year renewal terms, with Covanta Southeastern Connecticut Company, or one of its affiliates, to provide municipal solid waste disposal and recycling services at an initial solid waste per ton rate of $58.75, with an escalator clause not to exceed 2.5% annually, and a recycling rebate rate of $22.50 per ton, upon such other terms and conditions as the Mayor deems appropriate and reasonable, such waiver being in the best interests of the Town because it will allow the town to immediately lock into municipal solid waste disposal and recycling services at a more beneficial rate than currently being offered by other providers.
