PUBLIC HEARING MINUTES
June 21, 2010
7:35 p.m.
South Windsor Council Chambers
PURPOSE: To receive citizen input on an appropriation of $100,000 from the Capital and Non-Recurring Expenditure Account to fund the Town GIS
Mayor Pelkey called the Public Hearing to order at 7:35 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 six (6) people present in the audience.
Mayor Pelkey asked if there was anyone from the public that would like to speak.
Mr. Larry Torff, 521 Quarry Brook Drive came forward and stated that the Town has $400,000 of uncertain revenue built into the budget related to the movie studios. Mr. Torff stated he would defer discretionary investments on the GIS system until the Town has a better read on whether these revenues will happen. Any GIS investment in the sanitary sewerage system should be charged back to that budget with the cost recovered through sewer fees.
Following comments from the audience, Mayor Pelkey asked for a Straw Vote, the results of which were as follows:
Those in support of an appropriation of $100,000 from the Capital and Non-Recurring Expenditure Account to fund the Town GIS: - 2
Those in opposition of an appropriation of $100,000 from the Capital and Non-Recurring Expenditure Account to fund the Town GIS: - 1
The public hearing was closed at 7:37 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
