Was made by Councillor Havens
Seconded by Councillor Snyder
Councillor Havens stated he would like some type of effort made to get the public to participate with the General Government budget.
Mayor Delnicki suggested that a letter be sent to the Hartford Courant from the Town Council signed by the Mayor questioning why they do not cover South Windsor any more.
Councillor McCann questioned why this public hearing is being held on a Wednesday night instead of on Monday night like normal. It is tough for some Councillors to be present on Wednesday nights.
Mayor Delnicki suggested that Tuesday, April 24, 2012 or Thursday, April 26, 2012 be considered.
Councillor McCann made a motion to amend the resolution that the public hearing be held on Thursday, April 26, 2012 rather than Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Councillor Snyder seconded the motion.
The Town Council members discussed the availability of the Council Chambers and found that there is a previously booked function that night. Councillor Snyder suggested that the time be changed to 7:30 p.m. rather than 7:00 p.m. McCann withdrew his amendment and made a new friendly amendment that the public hearing be held at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 25, 2012 rather than 7:00 p.m.
Mayor Delnicki called for a motion on the resolution as amended; it was approved, unanimously.

Mayor Delnicki thanked Sandy Jeski for this suggestion.
