Board of Selectmen
Town of Tolland
MINUTES OF SELECTMEN MEETING – July 25, 2016 5:00 PM
Selectmen Present: Eric R. Munson, Jr., Steven DellaGiustina and Thomas Paine
Also Present: Ed Deming, Police Chief & DPW Superintendent
Valerie Bird, Board of Health Agent
Jeremia Pollard, Legal Counsel via telephone
The Board of Selectmen requested clarification in regards to how and if the Tolland Police Department will handle trespass calls within WPOA. Jeremia stated that the Tolland Police Department should not be enforcing WPOA’s bylaws. If a WPOA resident is on WPOA property and is aware that the WPOA bylaws don’t allow them to be there, it is WPOA’s internal security’s issue.
Valerie informed the board that she will be appearing in Housing Court on Monday, August 1 to discuss the failure to board and secure property located at 1200 Hartland Road.
Ed questioned who is responsible for servicing the Fire Department’s “porta pottys” after use? The Selectboard stated that the “users” is responsible.
Ed spoke with Jeff Messenger about adding and changing the Transfer Station hours. Jeff was not in favor of the change. The current hours will remain.
Valerie mentioned that she had received an email from Charles Clines of MassDEP with concerns that the Transfer Station’s 3rd party inspection has not been completed. Eric will discuss the inspection requirement with Joanne Duval.
Ed, Police Chief explained why the Police Department Salary account was in a deficit for Fiscal 2016. Ed explained that he thought he had been on budget but miscalculated.
Steven stated that in the future he and every department head needs to track their budgets so that a deficit does not happen.
Library bids (siding/windows & ext trim) will be opened on Monday, August 22nd at 5PM.
