SOUTH WINDSOR COUNCIL CHAMBERS
PURPOSE: To receive citizen input on a proposed “Ordinance Prohibiting Tractor-Trailer Truck Traffic on portions of addressStreetTroy Road and addressStreetBrookfield Street”, in the Town of placeCitySouth Windsor.
Deputy Mayor Delnicki called the Public Hearing to order at 7:25 p.m.; and requested that the Clerk of the Council read the call of the meeting (a copy of which is attached hereto). There were approximately twelve (12) people present in the audience.
Deputy Mayor Delnicki explained the reason for this amendment is to reduce the penalty from $99.00 to $89.00 so that an individual that violates the ordinance would not find themselves placed in custody and they would only have to pay $89.00.
Town Manager Galligan told the Council that three to four days ago the State Legislature passed a law saying that you can fine up to $250.00, but in order to be consistent with other ordinances, the $89.00 would be appropriate.
The Deputy Mayor asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to address this proposed ordinance, there was none.
As is the custom, the Deputy Mayor asked for a show of hands for a straw vote on the proposal. The results were as follows:
All those in favor of the Town Council adopting an Amendment to Ordinance #180, an “Ordinance Prohibiting Tractor-Trailer Truck Traffic on portions of Troy Road and Brookfield Street in the Town of South Windsor - 4
All those opposed to the Town Council adopting an Amendment to Ordinance #180, an “Ordinance Prohibiting Tractor-Trailer Truck Traffic on portions of Troy Road and Brookfield Street in the Town of South Windsor - 0
The Public Hearing was closed at 7:30 p.m.
