- Town Meeting June 25, 2012, Review: The June 25, 2012 town meeting was discussed by the Board and First Selectmen Nick Mullane. One comment made at the meeting, which is certainly worthy of follow up, was the need for the town to become more efficient in its use of manpower. Citizens were also sensitive to pay increases that many, were themselves, not getting because of the current economic times.
4. BOS: 2012-2013 Budget – Tax Levy; Calendar; Project Updates: Tax bills have been printed and will be sent to the tax payers as soon as processing can be accomplished. Tax payers will have the typical 30 days to submit payment.
Nick Mullane reported that Main Street bridge footings for both near and far side banks could be installed as soon as two weeks. Repair of the wall along the parking lot will not be started until the bridge is restored.
5. BOE: Request re: CT Status Sec 10-248a; Discovery Audit: The Board received a letter from the BOE chairman, Bob Testa, requesting that a fund be established for a portion of end of year BOE budget that was unspent. The money would be used for “brick and mortar” projects.
The town attorney is now involved with the audit findings that have been presented to the school superintendent.
6. PNZ Meeting June 21, 2012 Review: A joint meeting of “Boards and Commission” was held June 21, 2012 to discuss the possibility and impact of sewers in North Stonington. Dan Poland, the consultant who is assisting with modifications to the zoning regulations, was the presenter. Also present was Mark Waterhouse who is a consultant for the Economic Development Commission. In addition to this meeting, Nick Mullane, Brad Currier and Bob Shabunia attended a recent meeting with the Stonington Water Pollution Control Authority to discuss connecting to the sewer that enters North Stonington on Route 2. Nick Mullane felt that, by contrast to previous meetings on the subject, Stonington was quite
receptive to the idea. The first financial obstacle is the $1.3M buy in cost.
