VOTER PARTICIPATION:
Chris Smith, 22 Wills Road, told those in attendance to keep in mind that the Board of Finance didn’t have all the options for them. He said the $2.5 million was just thrown out on the table. Mr. Smith asked members of the Council, if now that they know the options would they still make the cuts again. He said that the Board of Education is just doing what is best for Newtown.
Don Ramsey, 3 Prospect Drive, a middle school teacher, told the council that everyone in the room has spoken on behalf of the public schools to restore money into the budget and the opinion was overwhelming. He said that Newtown’s school system was going downhill and said there is still talk of deducing the teachers. Mr. Ramsey noted that it is known there is a strong correlation between class sizes vs. success. He said he understood the Board of Finance is trying to achieve fiscal responsibility but said that to be a good steward of the money you have to analyze what the money is being spent on. Mr. Ramsey stated that the public schools are an investment so in troubled times the investment should be increased in the schools because that’s what attracts people to Newtown. He noted that year after year
people argue about the budget and still goes down. He asked that the board eliminate his position because the three teachers that are going to be cut are all better teachers than him. In closing, he questioned why it takes a super majority vote by the Legislative Council to overturn the simple majority vote of the Board of Finance.
Kinga Walsh, 21 Horseshoe Ridge Road, said that the Board of Education should be glad they’re getting a $700,000 increase, but said they need a 4.8% increase to make ends meet. She noted that the fixed costs are going up as well as the rising additional costs. Mrs. Walsh challenged those who support education to put the money back and give the schools at least $1.2 million.
Bill Furrier, 9 Erin Lane, a member of the Board of Selectman speaking as a resident, said he was not going to comment on any size of any cut and said that most want a 0% increase, but that was a Legislative Council decision. He noted that an inequitable distribution of the cut was proposed by the Board of Finance. Mr. Furrier stressed that it was not appropriate to cut based on last year’s budget. He said that the allocation of tax dollars is the fundamental question and that the fundamental distribution is really up to the community to be a part of. Mr. Furrier said there is a $1 million in the Highway fund and that the town needs to work on them but it’s very controversial. He questioned how much money was going towards Fairfield Hills and posed questions as to the documentation of the money that was
spent.
Carla Crumb, 4 Clapboard Ridge Road, a member of the PTA board, said she represents 339 people who signed a document to put money back into education. She said she didn’t do a mass email it was a simple online petition. Ms. Crumb noted that most of the respondents were taxpayers, as well as a few teachers and students. She read several of the comments she received to the council and told them she would send them all a PDF with the petition supporting the opinion to put money back into education. Ms. Crumb stated that the town doesn’t have a lot of businesses supporting the tax base. She asked that everyone support the businesses that are already in town and think twice about going to out of town to buy something. To help keep costs down, Ms. Crumb suggested that maybe residents should think about paying
more for extra programs. She noted that last year the high school was open for free year round and suggested some fees be implemented for these services to help offset some of the costs. Ms. Crumb pointed out that the services on the school side have gone down, but she hasn’t seen any reductions made in the services from the town.
Tom Bittman, 17 Rose Lane, a resident for 15 years, thanked the council and said he knows this isn’t fun. He said he is a life-long Republican and fiscal conservative who wants to keep the taxes local. Mr. Bittman said he manages a high technology company and understands how far behind we are technologically. He noted that the budget proposed by the school board was a result of a difficult, detailed, very transparent process. Mr. Bittman knows it’s the Board of Finance’s job to review budgets, but they cut the Board of Education budget $2.5 million which will effect education quality. He said they dove into what the Board of Education was elected to do. Mr. Bittman added that the Board of Finance didn’t find anything hidden, but they decided to take on more of a risk. He questioned whether
we learned anything given the revenue shortfall.
Mr. Bittman made several other points and suggestions regarding the cuts. In regards, to the effect on the quality of education for every child reducing the number of school days to the State minimum will effect quality and the plan to delay the replacement of the computers by pushing it into next year is a pitfall. He suggests encouraging a government that’s closer to the people by putting up a referendum that the majority of the voters will support and adding an advisory question to the ballot.
As a voter, Mr. Bittman said he wants to choose where to reduce spending. He noted that the Board of Education could squeeze $1.2 million out of the budget, but he’s asking the Council restore $1 million to the schools to make them whole. He concluded by asking that the council stop attacking each other and other boards and work together honestly and with respect.
Karen Pierce, 10 Chestnut Hill Road, said she had two requests for members of the Legislative Council. First, they look at the Board of Education budget in a different format. She noted that the dialogue goes out in all the papers and potential residents and businesses are looking at what Newtown says about their educational system. In addition, the Council needs to look at statistics. She noted that educators leave the district after their 5th to 7th year once they’ve established tenure and go to another school system. Mrs. Pierce said her second point regarded the advisory question. She said it’s necessary at this time.
Ann Spillane, 15 Washington Avenue, Sandy Hook, a representative of the Newtown Middle School PTA, said she had a letter from the PTA asking for the Council to restore the $2.5 million or the amount necessary to allow the Middle School to keep their teachers and programs. She noted that the PTA also asks that an advisory question be added to the ballot and asks that the voter be able to decide.
Mitch Bolinski, 3 Wiley Lane, told commissioners he believes he is a member of the silent majority who doesn’t stand up to rally toward a cause. He said he supports education but said the quality of education is not linked to putting more money into education especially when “the economy is on the rocks.” Mr. Bolinski says he supports the Board of Finance on the job they are trying to do to manage the budget. Mr. Bolinski said at the beginning of the budget process it was made it was made very clear to all department heads that grant money might not come in due to budget shortfalls and they were the Board of Finance pleaded with them to come in with a flat budget. He noted that all the departments did except the Board of Education. Mr. Bolinski noted that every year the Town does this
“budget dance.” The Board of Finance already saved the town $900,000 in interest, he added. So maybe the Town should let them manage the budget.
Mrs. Neil Randle, 4 Erin Lane, stated that although taxes have gone up she pays them with gratitude and the kids have an education and a new Municipal Center. She expressed concern about the new Municipal Center citing that the building already cost a lot to heat in the winter will it cost just as much to cool in the summer. She also noted that the windows leak and it already needs a new roof. In addition, she questioned why all the lights were all always on. According to Mrs. Randall, she didn’t have a chance to vote on the new Municipal Center but would like to vote on the Board of Education budget the way Dr. Robinson outlined it. Mrs. Randall asked the Council to remember if we can’t take care of our kids they won’t take care of us.
Desiree Galassi, 151 Huntertown Road, told the Council she is proud of her volunteer work in Town. She said she served on the Strategic Planning Committee and the Communications Action Team. Mrs. Galassi recommended that the Town start the budget process in September and let people know what they’re doing. She asked that the Legislative Council not just for the restoration of funds, but to push the Board of Education to work with the Board of Selectman that we need a communications plan. Mrs. Galassi suggested the Town hire someone to help them to agree and said it would be the best $50,000 they will ever spend. According to Mrs. Galassi, the process of the Strategic Plan was problematic only because they invited the Board of Finance to come and the board chose not to. We needed them there, she added. Mrs.
Galassi said she was appointed to the Sustainable Energy Commission by the Board of Selectmen. The idea of the commission was to find ways to save money for the Town. She said that the Town has already placed a solar panel on one of their schools. To get more, she added. Residents need to sign up with specific alternate energy supplier and the will get a free solar panel for the schools for every 100 homes that switch over.
Jack Rosa, 14 Fox Run Lane, a Newtown High School senior, told members of the Council he has taken 9 art classes and expects to take more in college. He noted that Newtown recently established a Cultural Arts Commission, but question how they can do this when they’re downsizing the Art Department.
Lisa Wallace, 43 Mile Hill South, suggested that out of the $2.5 million cut that the town save $1.3 million and give $1.2 million which is still needed back to the Board of Education. She suggested that any amount up to the $1.2 million be restricted so that programs can remain at the same standards.
Po Murray, 38 Charter Ridge Drive, enlightened the council with an historical perspective. According to Ms. Murray, during the last 10 years the average tax payer has supported a 4.8% tax increase and approved a .99% increase last year. Ms. Murray noted that by with the $2.5 million the Board of Education will have had a total of $10.93 million in cuts since the year 2000. She said that the Town will have cut the quality of education by doing this. We’ve gone too far, Ms. Murray added. Mrs. Murray said she is tired of fighting for the same thing asked if the Town supports education or not. She asked the Legislative Council to exercise some leadership and hopes Mrs. Llodra will start initiating something for the future. Ms. Murray stressed that education is the foundation for property values and quality of
education in Newtown. She concluded by asking the council to find a way to fund education and move forwards.
Janine Crowell, 26 Canterbury Lane, questioned several council members’ intentions when she claimed they pursued their seats on the council by professing their desire to support education. She began to mention them by name, but Chairman Capeci told her that this was not the forum for personal attacks. Ms. Crowell continued without naming names and claimed the Board of Finance was using the Board of Education to get even with their distrust of Mrs. Robinson for thinking outside the box. She added that the Town should be giving the kids the best education possible and support the $2.5 million. Ms. Crowell told the Council that if they accept the $2.5 cut they will have taken away the democratic process.
Christal Preszler, 14 Overlook Drive, moved back into the area for their children. She told the council she looked at a similar community but moved back to Newtown instead. She asked the Legislative Council to please put the money back.
Keith Alexander, 8 Farm Wood Road, stated that everybody has their vote. He said that the Town needs to give people the chance to make a choice and suggested the Council put the money back in to raise the bar on that choice.
Robin Fitzgerald, 24 Old Hill Road, announced she was finally happy to hear the voice of the silent minority – now they can debate more items. She told the Council to restore the funds to the budget and let the people vote on it. According to Mrs. Fitzgerald, it’s not the job of the Board of Finance to manage the budget - it’s their job to recommend the budget. It’s the Council’s job to manage the budget, she added. Mrs. Fitzgerald noted that it’s easy to make promises when you run for election. Where is it, she asked. They have stepped back fearful they will be punished. Mrs. Fitzgerald emphasized that excellence takes money and research shows a small class size relates directly to achievement. To make her point, she informed the Council that state of North Carolina made a law
mandating small class sizes in 1996. She said the study began with an elementary school with a maximum of 15-students per class and proved that school size has nothing to do with it. Mrs. Fitzgerald stated that it’s a simple plan for success and Newtown is doing just the opposite. She concluded by telling the Council the residents will be watching their actions and who votes what. Residents want quality of education for their children and the entire $2.5 million restored. Residents want advisory questions on the ballot and want the Council to find a way to get that done. Residents want to make funding a priority for education and residents want the council to let them vote and let them decide.
Lisa Berger, 13 Monitor Hill Road, told the council that part of the process is to have a public forum. If this many come out she said. The Council really needs to listen.
Bruce Walczak, 12 Governor Avenue, a resident and member of the Board of Police Commissioners, thanked the Board of Finance on behalf of the Police Commission for adding funds to the Police Department’s budget. He noted that there seems to be a lot of competition and a lot of posturing going on. Mr. Walczak criticized the town after he said that department after department on the Town side had huge increases paid for by with reductions in Capital budget. According to Mr. Walczak, the Board of Education’s fund was only $250,000 more than the Police Departments, yet the Town budget was only up $58,000. He claims that when he went through the budget he saw some of the following increases: Pension Fund, $250,000; Insurance, $70,000; Highway Department, $300,000; Public Building Maintenance, $150,000; and
Winter Maintenance, $70,000.
Susan Chanko, 28 Canterbury Lane, said she has had kids in the school for 9-years and things that have been cut were never added back. The cuts included the music program and the gifted and talented program, she noted. Mrs. Chanko noted that residents never see it get better with things being put back in after being cut.
Having no further members of the public wishing to speak, Chairman Capeci closed the first Voter Participation at 9:17 pm.

Mrs. Jacob reviewed the changes to the CIP that were addressed at the Council’s regular meeting in March.
NEW BUSINESS:
Discussion and Possible Action: 2010 Town of Newtown Budget as Recommended by the Board of Finance (Board of Selectman and Board of Education):
Mr. Spragg, Chairman of the Legislative Council’s Finance Committee, reported that the Finance Committee met last night and compiled all the budget recommendations by the various Committees of the Legislative Council. In addition, he told the Council that he would include a motion the Committee made regarding their recommended policy for Social Services.
According to Mr. Spragg, there were two more adjustments made to the Public Works budget - $45,000 in Highway Overtime will be transferred to contingency and $30,000 from Winter Overtime to Contingency. He also mentioned that there would be no change in the Mill Rate but there would be a slight increase in the Town Aid Road Grant; and, he said that the amount to be raised through taxation should be property taxes, but the property taxes are not changing themselves.
Mr. Spragg made the motion to approve the 2010-2011 Town of Newtown Board of Selectman Budget of $37,692,881. Ms. Andras seconded and, following a straw poll, the motion was approved 11-1 by a roll call vote. Mr. LaRocque, Mr. Woycik, Ms. Andras, Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Aurelia, Mr. Davis, Mr. Amaral, Mrs. Jacob, Mr. Spragg, Mr. Belden and Chairman Capeci voted in favor of the motion. Mr. Fitzgerald voted against the motion.
Mr. Fitzgerald said he went through the town side of the budget heavily and was concerned that there was a lot of inequity as to how the budget was determined and where if anywhere cuts were made Town vs. Board of Education. He asked Mrs. Llodra if she feels comfortable she has what she needs to deliver a program for the town. Mrs. Llodra said yes. Mr. Fitzgerald noted that Dr. Robinson didn’t feel she could operate on the level of funding proposed by the Board of Finance.
Those who favored the vote looked at the numbers recommended by the Board of Selectman and felt the First Selectman did her job. They believed that she did her due diligence meeting with the various department heads to bring in the budget number as low as possible without compromising service.
Mr. Spragg moved that the intergovernmental revenues be set at $7,671,977 and other revenues be set at $3,354,606. Mrs. Jacob seconded and the motion was unanimously approved.
Based on the recommendation made to the Legislative Council Finance Committee by the Legislative Council’s Education Committee, Mr. Spragg made the motion to approve the Board of Finance’s recommendation that the 2010/2010 budget for the Newtown Board of Education be set at $66,994,734. Ms. Andras seconded the motion.
Mrs. Jacob, Chairman of the Legislative Council’s Education Committee, she has read supporting emails on both sides and she has spoken to many who are thrilled with the Board of Education budget as recommended. She told those in attendance that the Board of Education budget had been responsibly reduced. She noted that it doesn’t support laying-off teachers, increasing class sizes and cutting afternoon programs. She says she has listened to all those who spoke out and believes the budget recommended by the Board of Finance is the right thing.
Mr. Davis moved to amend the motion and restore $760,000 to fund education services in the proposed town budget, with the following conditions: 1) Immediately following passage of the 2010-2011town budget at public referendum, the Board of Education will voluntarily enter into discussions with the Legislative Council’s Education Committee to discuss ways to reduce costs within the 2010-2011 school district budget. The goal of these discussions will be a continue to find savings for the 2010-2011 budget year while maintaining the sanctity of Board of Education policies on class size and quality of academic education. These discussions should be completed prior to the Board of Education voting on its final 2010-2011 budget, which must be done before July 1, 2010. 2.) The Board of Education agrees
that any cost savings that can be achieved as a result of these discussions will be voluntarily provided to the General Fund to reduced taxes. This motion recognizes that by state statute the Board of Education is not required to undertake these steps. Any concurrence with these conditions by the conditions by the Board of Education would be totally voluntary. Mr. Belden seconded and, following a straw poll, the motion for the amendment failed 3-9 in a roll call vote.. Mr. Fitzgerald, Mr. Davis and Mr. Belden voted in favor of the amendment. Mr. LaRocque, Mr. Woycik, Ms. Andras, Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Aurelia, Mr. Amaral, Mrs. Jacob, Mr. Spragg, and Chairman Capeci voted against the amendment.
Mr. Davis said he chose $750,000 as an “olive branch” and to keep the increase under one Mill. He noted it would be a step towards bringing everyone together in a reasonable manner. Mr. Davis noted that the only way to squeeze their budget was to take it out of the front end. He added that it was up to the community to make this decision and said it’s not what the Board of Education would like because it’s relatively small.
Mr. LaRocque says he doesn’t support firing of teachers or cutting after school activities, but he said it would seem backwards if reductions couldn’t be done. He said he strongly believes they can be. He noted that it’s close to 6% without reductions on the Board of Education budget and 3% with the reductions. He said he’s pleased to support the budget.
Mr. Ferguson indicated there is a strong desire in this climate to keep the budget as low as possible, but on the other hand recognizes we have excellent quality schools. Even at 3% increase the town may not get the budget passed, he added. Mr. Ferguson agreed with what Ms. Murray said earlier in regards to starting the budget process sooner.
Mrs. Bittman stated that the town has been underfunded for years and years and she said its so similar to the Board of education side – everyone has been underfunded.
Ms. Andras said that every town is feeling the same thing, but she noted that on a per pupil basis Newtown comes out on top of its DRG. The cost she said is almost $7,000 per house.
Mr. Spragg believes it would be a good idea to get the budget done before July 1. He said he can’t support adding three-quarters of a percent to an already 3% increase in taxes.
Mr. Fitzgerald said we’re dismantling the quality of education in Newtown and making an irreparable mistake here. The Town needs to take advantage of this year, he said. The fair budgeting process is broken. He concluded by saying the Council needs to take a good look at what is eating away the governmental process in Newtown.
Mr. Amaral recognized that the town was in super tight times but said he would like the budget to pass the first time around. He said he agrees with the Board of Finance budget.
Mr. Belden said he agrees to vote for a passable budget and feels the Council doesn’t have one. He said he supports Mr. Davis’ amendment and noted that contingency helps fix the problems that happened in the past. Mr. Belden said he’s skeptical of the $2.5 million and doesn’t think the schools needs it all, but they do need some of it.
Mr. Woycik believed every point has been made and said that the Council really needs to make structure changes in the Board of Education and the Board of Selectman processes. He noted that everyone has experienced inefficiencies in town service providers and says that can be traced back to the bargaining unit contracts. Mr. Woycik said he supports the recommendation made by the Board of Finance.
Chairman Capeci passed his gavel to Mrs. Jacob to give his opinion.. Mr. Capeci thanked Mrs. Llodra and Dr. Robinson for all their work. He noted that one side the council is asked to restore funds and on the other their asked to bring in a flat budget. Conceding to either side is impossible, he added. Mr. Capeci noted that more cuts would do a disservice but the “olive branch” would add to taxation which is difficult in this time. For this reason, Mr. Capeci said he stands by the Board of Finance’s recommendation.
Mr. Fitzgerald moved to amend the motion and restore $250,000 to the Board of Education budget. Mr. Davis seconded and the motion to amend the main motion failed 3-9 in a roll call vote. Mr. Fitzgerald, Mr. Davis and Mr. Belden voted in favor of the amendment. Mr. LaRocque, Mr. Woycik, Ms. Andras, Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Aurelia, Mr. Amaral, Mrs. Jacob, Mr. Spragg, and Chairman Capeci voted against the amendment.
Mr. Fitzgerald told the council that the reason for his amendment to add $250,000 to the Board of Education budget was to “minimize the damage” of the recommended budget cuts.
Following a straw poll, the main motion was approved 9-3 by a roll call vote. Mr. Aurelia, Mr. Amaral, Mrs. Jacob, Mr. Spragg, Mr. LaRocque, Mr. Woycik, Ms. Andras, Mr. Ferguson, and Chairman Capeci voted in favor of the motion. Mr. Belden, Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Davis voted against the motion.
Mr. Spragg moved the Finance Director be authorized to make any mathematical corrections that might be required to avoid any discrepancies and report back to the Legislative Council. Mr. Ferguson seconded and the motion was unanimously carried.
Discussion and possible action: Budget Advisory Questions –
Chairman Capeci told members of the Legislative Council that he had discussions with Town Attorney Dave Grogins regarding Advisory Questions on the ballot. He informed the Council that in a verbal opinion from Mr. Grogins Section 6-15 of Newtown’s Charter allows for Local Questions on the ballot, but according to the Town Attorney it would be illegal under the current charter to have Advisory Questions on the ballot.
Since the Legislative Council did not receive a written opinion from Mr. Grogins regarding the Advisory Questions, Mr. Fitzgerald recommended that the matter be differed until the Council gets a written opinion.
Chairman Capeci said he would put it on the agenda for the Council’s meeting Wednesday, April 14, 2010.
According to Mr. Davis, Connecticut State Statutes indicate you can have advisory questions.
Discussion and possible action: Letter from the Legislative Council to State Legislators -
Chairman Capeci tabled the discussion and possible action regarding the letter from the Legislative Council to State Legislators until their next regular meeting.
Discussion and possible action: Resolution on the Sale of Tax Liens -
Mr. Spragg made the motion as follows: “Whereas, Connecticut General Statutes Sec. 12-195h authorizes any municipality to assign, for consideration, any and all liens filed by the Tax Collector to secure unpaid taxes on real property, and Whereas, said assignment of tax liens is found to be in the best interests of the Town of Newtown; Now, Therefore, Be it Resolved By the Legislative Council of the Town of Newtown that First Selectman Patricia Llodra be and hereby is authorized to assign any and all liens by the Tax Collector to secure unpaid taxes on real property appearing on the Grand Lists of October 1, 2008 through October 1, 2011. First Selectman Patricia Llodra is further authorized to execute any agreements or amendments thereto as may be required to accomplish the purposes hereof.” Mr. Fitzgerald seconded and the motion was unanimously approved.
Adjournment:
Mr. Woycik moved to adjourn the meeting at 12:37 am, April 8, 2010. Mr. LaRocque seconded and the motion was unanimously carried.
Ted Swigart, Clerk
LC 4-7-10 Budget 2020-11 Conditional Appropriations (a)
Motion: that the appropriations for the Social Service Agencies are conditional appropriations. (C – Below)
That the Legislative Council requests the Board of Selectmen to develop a policy for implementation.
The condition would be as follows: The Agencies get 90% of their grant from the Town and the other 10% is conditional as a matching grant from the residents.
When the Social Service Agencies have raised by cash or in-kind contributions from Newtown residents an amount equal to ten-percent (10%) of the amount appropriated to their agency, and have certified to the First Selectman’s satisfaction the same, the Finance Director is required to pay to the Social Service Agency the matching amount appropriated by the Town.
The agencies see an increase in revenue, as they will be required to seek contributions from Newtown residents. An additional motivation to contribute to the agency would be that every resident’s contribution would be doubled, (to the maximum appropriated). And it will tell us which agencies the residents support (a question that the town has wrestled with for years) thus the policy works both ways.
This will bring the residents into the process of selecting which agencies to fund with their money both personally and through the Town.
