Town Office Building December 3, 2012
Selectmen’s Conference Room 5:30 P.M.
First Selectman Mailhos called the meeting to order at 5:35 P.M. with Selectman Blessington, Business Manager, Donna Latincsics and Public Works Director, Lynn Nicholls. Selectman Littell arrived at 5:41 P.M.
Donna Latincsics presented the budget, reviewing General Government requests and the capital obligations that will impact the budget for next year.
First Selectman Mailhos stated that the CIP Committee has not met yet, but she would like to start with the plan that was decided from the Committee last year. She added that a large portion of the budget is salary and we will have a better understanding once the union contract has been finalized. The Department Head’s budgets are due on January 3rd, and final budgets are due to Board of Finance by January 31st.
Donna stated that she has begun looking at electric rates as well as fuel and worker’s compensation line items. Selectman Blessington stated that he would like Donna to request a bid from CIRMA (for insurance) next year.
First Selectman Mailhos stated that she believes that Planning and Zoning will most likely be looking to fill the assistant Zoning Agent position. Selectman Blessington stated that he would like to see a stipulation on that position where the Board of Selectmen has authority over that position, rather than reporting directly to the Zoning Agent. First Selectman Mailhos stated that she would also like to have the person who fills that position to assist with economic development.
Lynn would like to look at chip sealing the parking lots. Selectman Blessington suggested putting them in under a CIP request.
First Selectman Mailhos stated that because they are a large part of the Selectmen’s budget, she would like to have the Board of Selectmen review both Fire Departments and Planning and Zoning’s budgets prior to the BOS presenting to the Board of Finance. She would like to hold a special meeting with all three of them on January 14, 2013.
The meeting schedule will be discussed during the regular meeting at 6:30 P.M.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:15 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
