Rep. Kerensky then said she had forgotten to mention
Were the State funded at the 40% reimbursement level to which the State was entitled to be funded under the Federal level (which, she added, it is not) then the burden, she said, would be lessened. She pointed out to Council, that rather than the 40% reimbursement, the State receives 4% reimbursement on Special Education. This, she added, burdens the State, and every municipality.
Rep. Kerensky then congratulated all those in Town government who had worked so hard to acquire the
Mayor Lassman Fisher then asked the State Representative if she could give the Council some idea of what is scheduled to be discussed in the next Legislative Session

ITEM:
10. (Continued)
Disturbing news, he said, was a recent letter from the State informing the Town that funding for the Route 30 project is being held off for another year for some unknown reason.
The Town Manager then asked the Council if they had any questions.

Councillor Delnicki reminded the Town Manager that, on several prior occasions, he had asked for a
One of the biggest problems, according to the Town Manager, is that the Council has to decide if it is going to allow the Day Care Center to remain in the Union School building. If Council decides to allow them to remain, he predicted that Council could then be looking at a $500,000 to $750,000 cost estimate for making that second floor available either to the Day Care tenants, or for housing the War Memorabilia
Councillor Delnicki asked if he would be out of order to suggest that housing this collection could cost up to $1 million. Mr. Galligan said his only problem with housing it in the Union School was the fact that the school was on Main Street, and parking is a problem in that location

D. Resolution Authorizing the Town Manager to Negotiate an Agreement with Clean Energy Fund, and International Fuel Cells, for Full Funding, Installation, and Maintenance of Fuel Cell at South Windsor High School
Whereas, the Clean Energy Fund was created by the Connecticut General Assembly in 1998 to develop initiatives for alternative, environmentally friendly energy technologies which include fuel cells; and
Whereas, Fuel cells are inherently more efficient than other energy power systems because they directly convert natural gas and air into electricity and heat, with minimal pollution; and
Whereas, Town officials have discussed the idea of installing a fuel cell to generate emergency power as part of the local disaster relief plan. That plan currently calls for using a South Windsor facility as a shelter during extended power outages or other disasters; and
(Resolution Continued on Next Page)
ITEM:
17. D. (Continued)
Whereas, the Town of South Windsor has made a proposal to the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund to fund the installation and maintenance of a fuel cell at South Windsor High School that would provide power including emergency power and serve as a teaching tool for the science curriculum; and
Whereas, the Town believes a fuel cell would be more efficient, cleaner and reliable than a standard emergency generator because a fuel cell can respond instantaneously to a power outage; and
Whereas, Students at the high school would also have the opportunity to learn about the fuel cell and the technology behind it; and
Whereas, the Town presented a proposed budget to the Clean Energy Fund for this project, as shown on Exhibit B, in the amount of $2,057,000; and
Whereas, the project has the preliminary approval of the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund; and
Whereas, in consideration of the unique requirements to this project, the Town will pursue a turnkey operation and intends to select a single contractor for this work; and
Whereas, if it is successful in obtaining funding, the Town proposes to contract with International Fuel Cells (
Now therefore, be it Resolved:
That the South Windsor Town Council supports the siting of a fuel cell at South Windsor High School with full funding from the Clean Energy Fund as set forth in the proposed project budget; and
(Resolution Continued on Next Page)
ITEM:
17. D. (Continued)
That the Town Manager and the Town Attorney are authorized to negotiate with the Clean Energy Fund and International Fuel Cells to reach an agreement for the full funding, installation and maintenance of a Fuel Cell at South Windsor High School; and
The Town Manager is directed to seek final approval of all such proposed agreements by the South Windsor Town Council; and
The Town Council will work cooperatively, directly and through staff, with the Board of Education and all other local agencies of cognizance in the furtherance of the fuel cell project.
Was made by: Councillor Fine
Seconded by: Councillor Delnicki
Comments from the Council pointed out that the Town of South Windsor, through this Agreement, was getting a little more than a $2 million fuel cell
Deputy Mayor Havens thanked the Mayor, in particular for all the work she put into seeing that this became a reality. He also thanked State Senator Gary LeBeau, Town Manager Matt Galligan, and everyone involved with seeing that this happened in South Windsor.
Councillor Williams said that Council mustn
Mayor Lassman Fisher, elaborating on that education component, said that from the moment of its presence in the school there will be a curriculum based around this fuel cellITEM:
17. D. (Continued)
Mayor Lassman Fisher urged anyone from the Town Council who would like to get involved, now that the Town had the money, to do so. She pointed out that this is a brand new program, that even the Clean Energy Fund, itself, has never done this. She said she would make the staff meeting dates and times available. School staff and officials, Town staff and officials, and Atty. Robert DeCrecenzo would be part of the

Was made by: Deputy Mayor Havens
Seconded by: Councillor Pelkey
Before a vote was taken, Deputy Mayor Havens explained that Councillors Fine and Streeter had participated in the Space Needs study, which gave the members an opportunity to visit most of the public buildings in Town. In the process, the Deputy Mayor felt they found out a great deal about each facility. He then asked Councillor Fine who, he said, was involved with the Fire Department, and the Police Department, to present Council with her observations.
Councillor Fine said that the one thing she found particularly striking was the fact that all most all of the Town

Councillor Pelkey said he would agree to postpone his questions; however, there were one or two things he wished the Town Manager to come back with, information-wise, and they were: 1) current cost of storage; and 2) the feasibility of
Councillor Delnicki said he would be supporting this Resolution even though he remained skeptic about the wisdom of purchasing the Old Post Office when considering the urgent need, in his mind, for a new, comprehensive Public Safety Complex. The Councillor said he did concede that the old Post Office building did provide a reasonable area to store things in temporarily
Councillor Aman said he did not like the old Post Office Building. He felt that this Resolution started the Town on a trend of purchasing a
Councillor Aman felt that the money the Town would use to renovate that building for office space could be used more wisely by expanding the Town Hall in several different directions. The idea of having some of the Town
Councillor Aman also suggested it might be wise to look into the feasibility of expanding the Town Garage, and moving some of the Public Works people now housed in the Town Hall down to that facility. In summation, Councillor Aman agreed there was a space problem; but did not agree that the old Post Office building was a good solution toward solving that problem.
Councillor Williams asked how much time the Council had for this decision
