Mayor Havens called the Regular Meeting to order at 8:10 p.m.
5. Public Input
First to speak was Roy Normen, 158 Homestead Drive, who said he was present to speak in favor of Agenda Item 17. D. (Resolution Amending the 2004/2005 Adopted Town Budget to Reflect Recent Increase in State Financial Assistance to the Town of South Windsor). He felt the money newly derived from the State should go back into the General Fund to reduce future taxes.
Mr. Normen said he also wished to oppose Agenda Item 17. H. (a Resolution authorizing the Town Manager to enter into a Contract to sell the Town’s delinquent municipal tax liens to a private business). It was Mr. Normen’s feelings that a different approach should be considered rather than selling them off to a business that will benefit from the 18% per year interest on these liens. That interest money, he contended, could be used by the Town to more effectively collect taxes so that there were fewer liens each years.
Next to speak was Mr. Linc Streeter, 56 Bramblebrae, who also spoke in favor of Agenda Item 17. D. He, too, felt that the $562,000 received from the State should be used to lower the tax rate. He pointed out that the possibility of lowering a tax increase of 4.82% to 3.9% was significant; and the taxpayers of South Windsor “are entitled to it.”
ITEM:
5. Public Input (Continued)
Mr. Streeter then asked the Town Council what it would have done had the State given the Town the $562,000 on May 1st, rather than at this late date. Mayor Havens responded that the Council would, probably, not have taken it from the Fund Balance to begin with had this money been received prior to setting the Budget.
However, Mr. Streeter felt that this was money that the State of Connecticut used to forward to the Town of South Windsor to help it in “its tax situation.” He felt this was a major issue—to put aside a half of a million dollars—he wanted it used to lower the taxes people have to pay.
Craig Zimmerman, 5 A. Amato Drive, reminded the Council and listening public that this weekend the American Legion Baseball Program starts its season. (He provided each Councillor with a program of the “Opening Ceremonies” to be held this Sunday, June 13.) He hoped the Council would attend.
Next, and what Mr. Zimmerman felt was even more important, was the fact that South Windsor would, this year, be hosting the State “American Legion Baseball Tournament.” He explained that it’s the “best 16 teams in Connecticut;” and for the last 30 years the tournament has been held in Bristol, Middletown, or Torrington—mainly, because these three communities have “baseball stadiums.”
The dates of the Tournament, Mr. Zimmerman reported, are Saturday, July 31 to Saturday, August 7; and this year, he added, that Tournament is at Rotary Field in South Windsor’s Nevers Road Park. The participants in this Tournament, he said, are basically ages 15 to 19. Mr. Zimmerman felt that having this Tournament in South Windsor was a great way to “showcase” all the things this Town has to offer for visitors attending the Tournament.
Edwina Futtner, 283 Sandstone Drive, addressed the Council to speak in favor of Resolution 17. D. (Resolution Amending the 2004/2005 Adopted Budget). Ms. Futtner said that something had to be done about “lowering our taxes.” Informing Council that within the last “couple of years” her taxes had gone from $2,700 to $4,341—with yet another tax increase imminent--Ms. Futtner asked that the recently received money from the State be used to reduce the impact of the new tax rate.
ITEM:
6. Environmental Health & Safety Message - None
7. Adoption of Minutes of Previous Meetings
Motion to adopt the Minutes of the following Town Council meetings: Regular Meeting of April 19, 2004; Joint Meeting of the Town Council and the Board of Education of April 26, 2004; Work Session of May 3, 2004; and Regular Meeting of May 3, 2004.
Was made by: Councillor Pendleton
Seconded by: Councillor Delnicki
The Motion was: Approved, unanimously
8. Public Petitions - None
9. Communications from Officers and Boards Directly Responsible to Council
None
10. Communications and Reports from Town Manager
Mr. Galligan went over the Agenda Items, pointed out that there were three (3) “tax partnerships” included--O&W Heat Treat, Inc.; MASS-CONN Distributors; and Electro-Methods Inc. All of these, he pointed out, have been approved by the Economic Development Commission.
Another Resolution the Town Manager addressed was the acquisition of a “new financial software package.” The current package, he pointed out, was an “old system;” and there is only one (1) company remaining in the United States that maintains it; and only two other communities in Connecticut that has it. He felt it was time to change to “MUNIS” Mr. Galligan said that the Board of Education has also acquired this package from MUNIS.
Next Resolution to be addressed by Mr. Galligan was a “reappropriation of $78,000 from a prior Fiscal Year” for items that did not need to be purchased. This Resolution, he added, was prepared by the Town’s Auditors, and the “numbers” before Council have been verified.
ITEM:
10. Communications and Reports from Town Manager
Also included on this evening’s Agenda, Mr. Galligan pointed out, was a proposal for the Town’s “delinquent tax liens.” Referring to a past serious problem with selling delinquent tax liens, Mr. Galligan stressed that “this is not an NBS product.” Under State Statute, he said, the Town is allowed to go after and sell off its delinquent taxes; and there’s two ways of doing this—“Go to collection where you can sell them off; or you can possibly foreclose yourself on properties and then force the sale of the property and then collect your taxes.”
Still referring to the delinquent tax liens, Mr. Galligan said that some of those included in the list were “unique” because they go back as far as 10 or 15 years. Once you go beyond the 15-year mark, he added, State Statute does not allow you to collect past that mark—thus the need to collect these taxes before that 15-year mark is reached.
Although the original list totaled over $1 million in delinquent taxes, Mr. Galligan reported that close to $200,000 has already been collected by the Town with the collection of another possible $200,000 where people are refinancing to pay their taxes. These delinquent taxes, the Town Manager said, have been taken off the list of liens to be sold in order to give these taxpayers an opportunity to pay their taxes.
He explained that the bulk of the taxes on the list this evening are commercial properties; and that the company purchasing the liens must “hold on to them for six months”—thus providing the opportunity to these taxpayers to redeem their taxes from the successful bidder. Mr. Galligan also said that a private business purchasing these liens could do “a lot more with payment plans than we can ever do” because of the limitations put on the Towns by State Statutes and Town Charters.
Concluding the discussion on this Resolution, Mr. Galligan informed the Council that the successful bidder on the purchase of these liens is “American Tax Funding.” This same company, he added, has been the successful bidder in Cheshire, and other Connecticut towns; and do this for a living. He said that this company has an economic development division where they take a look at some of these commercial properties and “put them back into commercial use.”
ITEM:
10. Communications and Reports from Town Manager
Finally, Mr. Galligan reported that USF Red Star presented Mayor Havens and himself with a notice of their “closing.” He felt the letter was self-explanatory; and explained clearly the financial conditions that have forced this closing. He said he had called the Company’s Officer who had authored the letter and asked if the Town, using its “limited programs” could do anything to help that might keep the Company in South Windsor.
Public Works negotiations, he said, were ongoing, and he would keep Council informed of their progress.
Mr. Galligan reported that the Redevelopment Agency did receive a response to their Request for Proposal. That Proposal was submitted, he said, by the same people who are doing Evergreen Walk – namely, Richard Ripps and John Finguerra. These gentlemen did come in with a “conceptual plan,” according to the Town Manager. The next step, he added, would be for the Redevelopment Agency to work with the landowners in the I-291 area.
Regarding those landowners, Mr. Galligan reported that the Redevelopment Agency had a meeting last week to which they invited those landowners in order to discuss the I-291 project and what the Town would like to see develop in that area. Regarding the environmental issues in that area, the Town continues to work with the DECD who continues to be most helpful. He anticipated that within the next 4 or 5 months that issue “will be behind us;” the Agency will have some conceptual plans; and the Agency can begin to market off that particular area..
Questions, on several issues already discussed, followed from the Town Councillors.
