Mayor’s Report –

• Mayor Krampitz said that concerning labor negotiations, the unions have yet to make a medical insurance proposal to provide affordable benefits. As you may recall, we implemented a new plan on November 1 that will expire June 30, 2007 that fits our budget. Therefore, we need to go to arbitration in January and the goal will be to have the arbitrator rule on the medical insurance issue because we need to plan past July 1, 2007 .
• The Mayor presented Sharon LaCourse our Terryville Library Director with a Certificate of Appreciation as our Director for nineteen years. She will retire December 31, 2006 . The search for her replacement will conclude soon.
• The Mayor, along with Bill Kuehn, our Economic Development Director, attended a workshop concerning Affordable Housing hosted by the Central Connecticut Regional Planning Agency.
• Property owners have received their assessments which represents a 40 percent increase of value to their home. The commercial real estate increase is about 60 percent. As you know this figure represents 70 % of the estimated fair market value of their property as of October 1, 2006 . As in all cases when the town goes through revaluation, the mill rate will go down. We need to continue to caution residents to not multiply their new assessment by the present mill rate. A new mill rate will be set after next year’s budget process.
• We have interviewed and selected our design consultant for the Waterwheel Park. The committee’s choice was unanimously BL Company, a company that has had a long positive association with the Town. We had excellent proposals which reinforce that that site will be a major focal point and jewel for the community. The Inland Wetlands Commission Hearing for the Belonick property teardown will be tomorrow evening.
• As you all know, we had a random act of violence last Thursday night which resulted in one homicide and one injury. Mayor Krampitz commended our Police Chief and our Police Department for their professionalism in not only bringing this incident to conclusion with the State Police but showing they can work with our state agencies during times of crisis. Police Chief Krasicky was especially comforting in her media words to the public in stressing public safety but kept the Mayor fully informed – day and night.

MOTION: Councilwoman Scoville moved to set the Fall Mountain Water Project Assessment in the amount of $3158.00 for a period of fifteen years. SECOND: Councilman Goodwin. Councilwoman Scoville stated that she was on the council when the property was purchased. The land purchase and grant was in place between the Mischke and Covello administrations and Mary Grasso was the USDA liaison to the Town at that time. Councilwoman Scoville recalled that there was a vote missing but it was corrected and everything was made right back then. Councilman Zagurski thought it was a well-attended public hearing with many valid questions that were answered. Councilman Goodwin stated that having water on the mountain is a good thing. He thought Mr. Houle made an outstanding point about public safety. Councilwoman Murawski was happy to see this project being finished because she was part of the council that sent it to referendum during the Mischke administration and she remembered meeting with the residents and listening to their struggles on bringing water to their homes to drink, cook and bathe with. Mayor Krampitz asked if there were any public comments. Melanie Church, 328 Main St. – disagreed with Councilwoman Scoville’s opinion of the land purchase. Councilman Goodwin commented that there does not seem to be any constructive purpose to keep dredging up the past. He agreed with Councilwoman Scoville that if a problem had existed that it had been corrected and the town moved forward. Councilwoman Scoville added that we are better off today because we have a water tower and water in that area and she agreed with Councilman Goodwin. Lisa Whitney, 541 Main St., asked if the 4.75% was also on the $250,000 land purchase portion and was told yes. Brian Barnes, 25 Fall Mt. Terrace – stated as the President of the association that everyone is pleased that the water is up there. Pattie DeHuff, 20 Lynn Ave. – asked what the total was for the referendum and what it included. She was told it was 4.75 million and Councilman Goodwin read from a letter from Robinson & Cole that stated “In reply to your inquiry, the Town has taken all steps necessary to authorize expenditures for the Fall Mountain Lake water supply project, including acquisition of the site and related equipment for construction of a water tower and water distribution facilities to serve the Fall Mountain Lake area. Such expenditures may be met from the captioned loans and grants to be provided by the Rural Development under the bond resolution authorizing the project.” Mayor Krampitz assured the Town Council that they have all of the information needed. Everything is correct and legal and Mary Grasso of the USDA has signed off on it. MOTION: Councilwoman Scoville moved the question. SECOND: Councilman Goodwin. Mayor Krampitz explained that the motion, if passed would stop all discussion immediately. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Back to the original motion – MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

Discuss and take action on report of the Capital Improvements Committee – Mayor Krampitz introduced David Barbieri, Chairman. Mr. Barbieri stated that the report forwarded to the Town Council earlier was approved unanimously by the Capital Improvements Committee earlier that evening. The CIC asked the Town Council to receive the report and has recommendations to move it forward. The CIC feels strongly about the need for short and long term capital project plans. Mayor Krampitz asked if there were any changes to the proposed draft that was submitted to the council and Mr. Barbieri said there were none. The Mayor stated it would be considered final. Councilwoman Scoville asked for a comment on the CIC’s breakdown of its “essential” area. Mr. Barbieri responded that they received requests from the Police and Fire departments for facilities. The thought was with the new high school being built and other facilities becoming available, how do we prioritize these. There are other needs also like the highway garage that fit into this category. Councilman Goodwin liked the recommendation for the creation of a town facilities study committee that inventories and evaluates the Town’s facilities. The councilman wanted to know if that same committee would also be charged with looking for funding sources. The answer was that it was only to do the inventory. Councilman Zagurski thanked the CIC for a very comprehensive report but he would have liked to have seen more emphasis on sidewalks. Mr. Barbieri responded that sidewalks should be an on-going program that is within the operating budget and should not be a capital project. MOTION: Councilwoman Scoville moved to accept the 2006 Capital Improvements Committee Report and distribute a copy to the Board of Finance members. SECOND: Councilwoman Murawski. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

Public Comment – Kathy Kosak, 201 N. Harwinton Ave. – felt that the new high school was a detriment to the neighborhood as far as the revaluation assessments because their area was experiencing 60% increases which was far greater than the reported average. Pattie DeHuff, 20 Lynn Ave. – cited sections in the town charter that she felt were in violation because of budget deficits in the tax office. Mayor Krampitz explained that the entire budget would have to be in deficit. Sally Barnes, 279 Main St. – commended the Police Chief and the department for the fantastic job that they did on Benedict St .

Discuss and take action to recommend an appropriation of $27,072 to the Board of Finance for the Tax Collector Clerk position – Mayor Krampitz explained that this position had been in the budget for the first and second referendum and the Board of Finance Chairman had indicated that it would be appropriate for the Town Council to make a recommendation to the Board of Finance concerning this position. MOTION: Councilwoman Murawski moved to recommend to the Board of Finance an appropriation of $27,072 for the Tax Collector Clerk position. SECOND: Councilman Goodwin. David Merchant, Chairman of the Board of Finance, was asked to come forward to answer any council questions. Councilman Goodwin asked about the contingency money that was in the BOF budget when the council approved 3% increases. Mr. Merchant confirmed that monies were used for the SRO position and monies were allocated for a Human Resources position but not all of the money was moved out of that account. Councilwoman Scoville stated that she was looking at minutes from previous BOF meetings and the two items in contingency were moved and one was put back into the general fund and that was the tax collector portion. Councilwoman Murawski asked if there was money left to transfer as a result of the council raising the budgets up to 3% or would there be money anywhere in the budget to transfer instead of taking it from the fund balance. Mr. Merchant explained that it should come from fund balance but if it did come from a transfer, it would have to come from someone else. Councilwoman Scoville asked how the position exists now. Mayor Krampitz explained that when she came into office she was told of the vacancy and that the union had posted the vacancy. The Mayor had a discussion with the Tax Collector who informed her that the office desperately needed the position filled. The Mayor checked with Comptroller Gomes who confirmed that the money was in contingency so the vacancy was filled. The Mayor went to a BOF meeting a few weeks later and it was at that meeting that the Comptroller and the Mayor learned from Dave Merchant and the BOF that this contingency money had some strings attached that was unknown. There were unwritten rules that the BOF had on this money unbeknownst to the Mayor and Comptroller and the discussion came about when they were building the next budget. Linda Hood, Tax Collector, summarized the need for the position in that office. The tax office has had three people for the past 30 years. The work-load has doubled since 1987 due to increases in real estate and motor vehicles plus other responsibilities such as the new water project. Back tax collection needs to be continued and a reduction in staff will affect the overall collection rate. The Mayor asked for public comment. Ann Tuleja, 383 Allentown Rd. – stated that if the Town Council approves the money for the tax collector clerk position, then it should approve money for a new police officer. Councilwoman Murawski interjected that one-third of the police department was not eliminated but one-third of the tax office was. Pablo Arroya, 13 Holt St. – stated that the Police Department was not cut but it has not been increased either. Jim Benway, 25 Knollwood Ln. – stated that the position does not appear to be authorized. Dianna Schenkel, 269 Mt. Tobe Rd. – stated that this was deficit spending and that is illegal. Mayor Krampitz pointed out that the Town Council approved deficit spending at the end of the fiscal year which included this position and the BOF did the same at their August meeting. Linda Hood, Tax Collector, read for the record the letter she had sent to the Bristol Press on 9/20/06 which gave a brief history of how the position was eliminated and what she had done as Tax Collector to get it reinstated. Mark Goodwin, 5 South St. – stated that he approved keeping the contingency in place for the position. He said that trying to approve the motion is a violation of State Statute. Melanie Church, 328 Main St. – read excerpts from the 4/26/05 meeting. She also claimed that the Tax Collector and her assistant went on vacation the first week that the clerk was hired and left her alone in the office. Linda Hood, Tax Collector, denied that happened and stated that no vacations were taken until long after the new staff person was trained. Pattie DeHuff, 21 Lynn Ave. – stated that Dave Merchant had warned the town that the fund balance was low. The Mayor asked for any other council comments. Councilman Goodwin asked if the Town Attorney could comment on the State Statute that was mentioned. Attorney Tom Conlin said he would research on the spot if Mr. Goodwin would refer to a specific statute. The statute was identified as 7-348. MOTION: Councilman Sekorski moved to recess at 8:39 p.m. SECOND: Councilman Goodwin. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. BACK IN OPEN SESSION AT 8:55 p.m. Attorney Tom Conlin was asked for his response following his research of State Statute 7-348. He stated that this was from section 106 that deals with Boards of Finance. 7-348 deals with contracting and over-expenditures that deals with existing contracts. This would apply to contracts that the Town of Plymouth would have with vendors. The Town Council is recommending an appropriation because they do not have the authority to appropriate themselves therefore there is nothing in this statute that would make you liable for any action you take. Councilman Sekorski questioned if there may be other statutes that would apply in this case. Councilman Zagurski stated that the issue at hand would be is the position required and he believed it was. The appropriation was for the betterment of the town and its future. Councilwoman Murawski pointed out that this position was cut and it certainly was not for the good of the town. Councilman Goodwin stated that there is money that can be shifted to cover the cost based on what was done earlier with the budget. Councilwoman Scoville stated that the charter states that the budget goes to the people. Why not wipe out that entire section and have the BOF and the Town Council decide on the budget like the City of Bristol . Councilman Zagurski – yes, Councilwoman Scoville – no, Councilman Sekorski – no, Councilman Goodwin – yes, Councilwoman Murawski –yes. MOTION PASSED.

WHEREAS:
The Town of Plymouth Town Council and Mayor encourage the Social Security Administration to keep the Bristol office open for the welfare of our citizens and all area seniors who use this facility.

WHEREAS:
The Town of Plymouth would encourage a “contact station” to be located in our community so that our eligible seniors would have greater access to Social Security assistance.

NOW , THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
The Town of Plymouth Town Council and Mayor recognize the need to maintain a local Social Security presence for all citizens, in particular our elderly and disabled citizens. The need to service an area with a population that exceeds 100,000 people is paramount. Plymouth citizens need to be considered in the decision-making process. SECOND: Councilwoman Murawski. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

MOTION: Councilman Goodwin moved that the resolution language contained in the Town Council minutes of May 2, 2006 concerning the Certified Local Government Program (item#12) be amended to change the phrase “historic district study committee” to “historic property study committee”; and said language amendment is technical in nature; and said resolution is hereby re-adapted as amended. SECOND: Councilman Zagurski. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

Also, $260,000 is in the Capital Projects portion of the budget and grant money is anticipated. A building committee must be designated to make this happen and they will also be asked to oversee preparation of schematic drawings and submission of the grant application. It will be the removal and replacement of four tanks. Councilwoman Scoville asked Gerry Perusse if there was any indication of leaks or is this precautionary. Mr. Perusse stated that they are tested every year and this is precautionary because the tanks are made of single wall steel. They are almost twenty years old and DEP recommended they be tested. Councilman Goodwin asked how much grant money we would receive. Mr. Perusse responded it would cover 72% of the cost. Mr. Perusse stated that the Board of Education needs the Town Council’s authorization to apply for the grant. Councilwoman Murawski asked if the work is contracted out. Mr. Perusse stated that they are planning on bidding the four tanks out, plus the one at the high school. The high school tank is empty and they are using gas there. The tank at the high school will probably be taken out of the ground when the sprinkler system is replaced because the tank is surrounded by electrical and water pipes in the driveway. Mr. Perusse stated that the numbers he gave to the Council are an average. The tanks are different sizes and some are under the driveway.

Councilman Sekorski asked if the Council will set the rates of the assessment. Mayor Krampitz explained that the Council will set the rates over a fifteen year period. Connecticut Water Co. will not provide recommendations for assessment. This assessment rate is akin to the sewer assessment in town. It’s a one time assessment spread over a period of time.

Discuss and take action to approve Resolution for Lauretano Sign Group expansion – Mayor Krampitz introduced Director of Economic Development and Planning Bill Kuehn and stated that a request for town owned property adjacent to Lauretano Sign Group has been discussed for years for expansion purposes. Mr. Kuehn handed out a revised resolution due to a change in the last line. It should read “commissioner” instead of “commission.” Mr. Kuehn read the resolution. The expansion consists of 17,000 square feet on site. Lauretano Sign began planning their expansion in 2001. They are looking to use a conservation easement that can be utilized by Lauretano Sign and the Town. The packet previously given to Council contains: the project plan approved by DECD in 1999, the site plan which shows athletic facilities and a parking area. Parking in that configuration is on the already approved plan for Phase III. It is a conservation easement, not open space. The long term lease agreement will be prepared by Attorney Tom Conlin. Lauretano Sign needs off-street parking in order to do building expansion. Councilman Zagurski asked if Lauretano was going to put in that whole parking lot with no expense to the town. Mr. Kuehn responded that was correct. Councilman Zagurski asked if that parking lot could be used by residents. Mr. Kuehn responded that the intent is joint use. Councilwoman Murawski asked whose liability the parking lot was and how long is the long term lease. Mr. Kuehn responded that liability would be worked out in the lease and the term of the lease is undefined, but probably would be twenty years. Councilwoman Murawski asked if there was compensation for the lot. Mr. Kuehn responded there has not been discussion of compensation and maintaining it is their responsibility. Attorney Conlin stated that the lease would make the lessee responsible for providing insurance for the town and for anyone who might use it and we would be the initial insured. Compensation for town vis-à-vis rent has not been discussed. Mayor Krampitz stated that Lauretano’s expansion means more employees and more tax dollars – they have been in town almost sixty years. MOTION: Councilwoman Scoville moved to authorize the Mayor to enter into a long lease agreement between the Town of Plymouth and Lauretano Sign Group for off-street parking within Phase III of the Plymouth Business Park to enable the expansion of Lauretano Sign Group’s manufacturing facility at 1 Tremco Drive, said agreement to be pursuant to correspondence from DECD Commissioner James Abromaitis dated September 15, 2006 . SECOND: Councilman Zagurski. DISCUSSION: Councilwoman Murawski asked if there was any progress on the ball fields. Mr. Kuehn responded that there was nothing to report. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

Public Comment – Melanie Church, 328 Main Street – Gave Silvio Cavicchio credit for cleaning up the blighted property across from Silvio’s Restaurant. Stated that she hoped the public would be able to comment on the topics brought up during the “Other Business” item since it is new to the agenda.

She is concerned that taxpayer dollars are being spent on extra copies made in the Town Clerk’s Office for the Mayor’s Office.

However, the sale of drugs and the drug problem there will bring the property value down again. Jan Oullette, 104 Eastview Road – Feels there are not enough police officers in town. Believes there are gang members and drug dealers living in the Fall Mountain area. She would appreciate it if, when she calls in a suspicious vehicle or other problem, that the Police Department would not give her address and name over the scanner. She stated that there have been a lot of break-ins and gunfire. She feels if the drug problem is taken care of, the amount of crime will decrease. She stated that she knows people are willing to form a neighborhood watch and to help the police and community. Robert White, 24 Overlook Road – Feels that information given to the police is back out on the street before they get home. Mayor Krampitz thanked Ms. Oullette and Mr. White for voicing their concerns and stated that she would speak to Chief Krasicky about giving a neighborhood watch presentation to the residents. Jon Stevens, 104 Eastview Road – He was fired upon and it took too long for the police to get to scene. There are children ranging in age from 7 to 14 years old smoking crack and doing coke.

Connecticut Municipal Consortium for Fiscal Responsibility presentation and take action if necessary – Mayor Krampitz introduced the Granby Board of Finance Chairman Michael Guarco as the presenter. Mr. Guarco introduced Art Johansson, the Finance Chairman from Burlington . A color-coded state map of endorsements was displayed which indicated which communities supported the consortium’s finance, municipal and educational initiatives. Mr. Guarco presentation centered on the growing number of communities that are seeing their budgets get defeated, the common legislative agendas of CCM, COST and CABE, that tax increases average 5% while inflation is lower, that three basic planks to a Mission Statement are common to all towns, that towns can not afford unfunded mandates, we need to broadcast our common agenda and advocate our agenda. Mr. Johansson added that prevailing wage issues are also a common problem for towns. Councilman Goodwin thought the concept made sense and was straight forward. Councilman Sekorski asked how the steering committee was chosen and was told it was mostly made up of the board members. Mayor Krampitz recognized Dave Merchant, Chairman of the Board of Finance and he said that he would not oppose joining the consortium. Questions from the public included concerns on education, the Governor’s office and binding arbitration. Mr. Guarco used examples from other towns to highlight those topics. Mayor Krampitz asked if there had been any discussions on reconfiguring the ECS formula and was told not through their organization. MOTION: Councilman Goodwin moved to adopt the following Resolution in Support of the Consortium Group:

WHEREAS; state interventions into traditionally local budgetary affairs have negatively impacted the delicate balance between a municipality’s capacity to provide services and the local taxpayers’ ability to pay for said services,

AND WHEREAS; such interventions have effectively reduced the municipalities’ ability to manage major components of a typical town budget,

AND WHEREAS; COST , CABE, CCM and other municipal advocacy agencies have all traditionally called for repeal or reform of prevailing wage and binding arbitration laws that currently apply to the negatively impact the municipalities across Connecticut,

AND WHEREAS; the state legislature in Connecticut continues to force new mandates upon the towns while reneging on its own statutory municipal aid commitments to said towns.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Council in the Town of Plymouth join and support the CT Municipal Consortium for Fiscal Responsibility in its effort to bring about changes beneficial to the municipalities and taxpayers across Connecticut . SECOND: Councilman Zagurski. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

SECOND: Councilman Zagurski. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Councilman Goodwin stated he was pleased with the square foot breakdown but had one question.

MOTION: Councilman Sekorski moved to approve the fee schedule as submitted by the Fire Marshal. SECOND: Councilman Goodwin. Councilwoman Murawski asked if people have to keep paying the fees if they come back and she was told that it would be half the cost. Councilman Zagurski asked about buildings exceeding 50,000 square feet because someone reviews the plans also. The fire marshal explained that he is ultimately responsible for all review and must check the work of others and used the new high school project as an example. Councilwoman Murawski – no, Councilman Sekorski – yes, Councilman Zagurski – no, Councilman Goodwin – yes, Mayor Krampitz – yes. MOTION PASSED.

Public Comment – Diane Schenkel, 269 Mt.

The Mayor explained that this happened before she was in office. Pattie DeHuff, 20 Lynn Ave. – had issues with the meeting being held in the Assembly Room instead of the Community Room, with the meetings not being taped for cable access television and with the Public Comment agenda item being near the end of the agenda. Councilwoman Murawski responded that she likes the meetings in the assembly room because the council can be at eye level with the people and also remarked that no volunteers have come forward to tape the meetings. Councilman Goodwin said that the public gets to comment on every agenda item and placing Public Comment at the end gives people a chance to hear all of the comments before they say anything. Mayor Krampitz indicated that many Town Council meetings had been held in the Assembly Room in the past. Melanie Church, 328 Main St. – stated that she is opposed to the fees for the fire marshal inspections.

Other Business – No action taken.

Discuss and take action on proposed Charter Revisions as presented by the 2006 Charter Revision Commission - The Mayor thanked the Charter Revision Commission for their work and time. Mayor Krampitz stated that the focus was on individual department and adding the word aggregate and crossing out the “s” after budget. MOTION: Councilwoman Murawski moved adoption of the following resolution: That the Town Council of the Town of Plymouth hereby deems the draft report of the Town’s Charter Revision Commission, attached hereto as Exhibit A, to be final, and that the Town Council hereby approves the recommendation contained in said report.

Discuss and take action to adopt ballot language for November Charter vote – MOTION: Councilwoman Murawski moved adoption of the following resolution: That the recommendation contained in the Final Report of the Charter Revision Commission be submitted to a referendum vote in accordance with Section 7-191 of the Connecticut General Statutes, Revision of 1958, as amended, on Tuesday, November 7, 2006 , between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. under the following ballot heading: “SHALL THE TOWN OF PLYMOUTH APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CHARTER REVISION COMMISSION TO AMEND SECTION 3B OF CHAPTER VII OF THE TOWN’S CHARTER TO LIMIT THE 3 PERCENT BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS BY THE TOWN COUNCIL TO THE AGGREGATE TOWN BUDGET RATHER THAN INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENT BUDGETS?” and that the Town Clerk include a notice of such referendum in the notice of election for said date and make absentee ballots available. SECOND: Councilman Zagurski. Councilman Zagurski had a concern about non-electors being able to vote. Attorney Sam Caligiuri of Day, Berry & Howard stated that in Connecticut General Statutes Section 7-191 subsection f, concerning charter amendments and specifically states that it is by the electors of the municipality. The electors would be permitted to vote on this question. Councilman Sekorski wanted to explain why he could not support this. He stated that he was disappointed that there was not more clarity to the language, but apologized for not attending the Charter Revision Commission meetings. He thought it cleared up some of the discrepancy but not all of it and suggested that if this change passed that we should get a legal opinion to guide the Town Council in the future. He agreed that the word aggregate returned some ability back to the Board of Finance. Councilman Zagurski thought the Commission did a great job. The clarity may not be perfect but there is an immediate need before the next budget session. Councilwoman Scoville stated she would have preferred the amended budget because that is the true budget. Councilwoman Murawski stated that it was very clear that aggregate was the sum of the parts. It is the whole budget. No one is claiming that it will correct everything that is wrong with the charter but it is a good step. Councilman Goodwin stated that he believes that this would enable the Board of Finance to use their best judgment and that is why he would support it.

Take action to approve deficits for fiscal year 2005/2006 – Mayor Krampitz introduced Manuel Gomes, Comptroller to offer more information about the list presented. Mr. Gomes explained the process as an appropriation of money to cover deficits in line items. This serves as an internal control mechanism for spending approved at last year’s town meeting and does not affect the year-end surplus. The surplus will always be what the town spent compared to the total revenue brought in. Mr. Gomes named a variety of problems that led to some of the deficits. The last pay period of fiscal year 04-05 was posted to this fiscal year which impacts fund balance. New line items were added such as for sergeants in the police department. However, no monies were ever taken from that line item. The pensions are the only projected item in the report and were mis-posted from last year. Adjustments were made that make no sense. Mr. Gomes stated that he is confident that all the payments were for legal bills but that these problems were a result of mis-posting. The process had broken down. Councilwoman Scoville commented that she thought the comptroller was referring to bad bookkeeping. Mr. Gomes said that these problems came to light when he tried to balance the books. Councilman Goodwin stated that there was a breakdown before Mr. Gomes arrived but he was also concerned about department heads monitoring monthly budget reports. Mr. Gomes stated that the breakdown has been taken care of and an emphasis is being placed on reviewing the budget reports each month. The Board of Finance is also going to do a review because of the three percent increase and they want to keep a close eye on each line item. Mayor Krampitz informed the Town Council that twenty five percent of the deficits are utilities and that the total is 1.35% of the budget which is less than what it has been in the past. Councilwoman Scoville noted that the town audit was rather large. Mayor Krampitz confirmed with Mr. Gomes that last year’s audit cost the town approximately $30,000 more. Councilman Goodwin asked about the surplus and Mr. Gomes said that conservatively it would be approximately $300,000. Mayor Krampitz also noted that this budget was inherited in November and a lot of activity happened between July and November of last year. The Budget Deficits Report for Fiscal Year 2005-2006 submitted by the comptroller is as follows:

Mayor - Administrative Assistant $14,288; Advertising $1,384 Comptroller – Staff $1,610; Salary O/T $9,827; Advertising $514 Central Office – Tech Support $8,244; P/T Flex Workers $2,902; Service Contracts $8,049; Mileage $1,784 Registrars - Salary Registrars $1,681; Wages-Election Workers $2,734; Maintenance& repairs $1,409 Board of Finance – Salary-Meeting Secretary $200; Expenses $2,450; Town Audit $31,400 Tax Collector – Salary Staff $10,667; Service Contracts $4,725; Tax Refunds $20,415 Legal Fees – Labor Attorney $40,750 Employee Benefits – Pensions $30,000 (projected); Unemployment Compensation $4,843; Wage/Benefits Adjustment $46,443; Educational Incentives $4,000 Additional Appropriations – Tax Assessor Computer Grant $1,954 Fire Marshal - $863 Police Department - Salary-Police Chief $2,006; Dues & Fees $674; Repairs & Supplies $2,843; Electrical Repairs & Supplies $1,253; Physicals $344 Fire Department – Fire Hydrants $9,370; Physicals $2,512 Terryville Station – Heat $1,619; Elec.,Gas & Water $3,384 Plymouth Station – Heat $1,270; Elec., Gas & Water $613 Fall Mountain Station – Heat $4,791 Facilities – Repairs & Supplies $870; Sewer User Fees $3,765; Heat $22,649; Electricity $900; Street Lights $9,738 Highway – Wages F/T $39,719; Wages O/T $8,540; Electricity $1,112 Public Works Director – Salary-Secretary $1,819; Overtime/P/T Help $7,188 Maintenance Garage – Wages-Assistant $1,513; Wages Overtime $1,165; Heat $777; Gas & Oil $42,782 Building Inspector – Salary-Building Inspector $13,720 Human Service – Human Services Commission $178; General Assistance $1,465 Public Health – Salaries-F/T $3,211; HHA Scheduler $2,188 Ambulance Corps – Electricity $4,311 Library – Salary P/T $1,829; Repairs & Supplies $2,736; Electricity $5,643 Planning & Zoning – Salary – Enforcement Officer $4,046; Contract Services $3,193.

Discuss and take action on proposed ordinances titled Fees for Plan Review by the Fire Marshal and Retirement and Pension Oversight Board – Mayor Krampitz stated that the packets included the information from June 6 th and the new draft for tonight and that Fire Marshal Jack Schubert was available for questions. Councilman Zagurski asked if a plan gets rejected do the applicants have to pay the fees again and Mr. Schubert told him only the fees for the specific changes. Councilwoman Scoville stated that if it is coming out of their pockets, maybe they will become aware of the code first. Councilman Goodwin asked what would constitute a violation per section five. He was told that would be if someone did not pay the second time. There was concern about the Fee Schedule as it would affect new business construction. The Town Council wanted to maintain a fee schedule but keep it more business friendly. There was discussion about establishing a step system for fees or other more equitable options. MOTION: Councilman Goodwin moved to approve ordinance titled “Fees for Plan Review by the Fire Marshal”. SECOND: Councilwoman Scoville. Mayor Krampitz pointed out that because the Town Council had already indicated that it was going to table the fee schedule portion of the ordinance to create a better method of charging applicants, the Town would delay publication of the ordinance so that the deadline dates would not become an issue. The ordinance will be published when the fee schedule is determined. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Councilman Zagurski wanted to note that the service is still free until a fee schedule is set. MOTION: Councilman Goodwin moved to table the “Fee Schedule for Permits and Plan Reviews by the Fire Marshal” until the next meeting. SECOND: Councilwoman Scoville. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Councilman Goodwin volunteered his time to work with the Fire Marshal to develop other fee schedule options.

(The following draft was approved by the council.)

The purpose of the Fees for Plan Review by the Fire Marshal is to reduce the number of plans that are received for a specific project and to offset the expense incurred in the review of these plans.

Previously, when there are new construction plans for new buildings or plans submitted for renovations to existing buildings, the owner/contractors have been submitting plans that are reviewed by the office of the fire marshal. Many times these plans need to be revised as they do not have the required information needed to do the review. The people submitting these plans are using the office as a free plan resource. This ordinance should reduce the number of re-submittals by making the submitter make sure the plans are complete before sending them in for review, therefore reducing the number of hours spent by the office in plan review. It will also generate revenue to offset the cost of the plan review.

 FEE SCHEDULE FOR PERMITS AND PLAN REVIEWS BY FIRE MARSHAL

Permit and registration $20.00

Mayor Krampitz introduced Manuel Gomes, Comptroller to answer any questions concerning the Retirement and Pension Oversight Board ordinance and explained to the council the changes recommended by the attorney. Councilwoman Scoville asked if the comptroller already works with a broker. She was told that the town would advertise for consultants. Mr. Gomes said that we would have to adopt an investment policy for the assets and a schedule for quarterly and annual reviews. We’ll follow what other communities have done and fit it to our town. Councilman Goodwin asked what would happen when contracts are negotiated. Mr. Gomes said that it should be stated in the procedures that any changes to the pension language needs to be approved or at least potential costs need to be run by that board for approval or disapproval. This gives it the oversight. The other question was the Board of Education and the assets are segregated. They have their own report separate from ours.

Public Comment – Melanie Church, 328 Main St. - distributed a page from the budget and claimed that the administrative assistant was making the total of that salary and the salary of the meetings secretary making David Denis’s salary $55,775. She also claimed that at the end of former Mayor Mischke’s term, Jan Krampitz, his Administrative Assistant, had a salary of $39,023. Mayor Krampitz responded by saying that the figures used were once again not accurate. The Mayor said that bits of information are being used and put out there as truth and reality when they are not. The meetings secretary line item is not just for the administrative assistant position. It for other uses such as Charter Revision so that assumption is wrong. Secondly, the Mayor knew what she had made in 2002 and 2003 and her salary for that position was not $39,000. The Mayor reiterated that the information presented was false and that her staff and every employee deserve every penny that they make. Mrs. Church also wanted to know why budget deficits were not on the agenda. Mayor Krampitz explained that all of the accounts have been reconciled and the auditors have agreed that deficits can be done in August and she commended the comptroller’s office for an outstanding job.

He did not believe that the budget would ever pass with a referendum. Mayor Krampitz asked him to clarify if this was his opinion or that of his board and Mr. Merchant claimed that it was his personal opinion. Mr. Merchant said that his board will be asking the council to put all departments at a 3% increase after the presentation. He understands why the action was taken but the Board of Finance would have never presented the budget the way it had if they knew what kind of results it was going to have. This budget is set up for deficits and we will have to dip into the fund balance. The budget before the council raises the taxes .3 mills. If the council increases all the departments to 3%, then the taxes will increase .6 mills. The report began on page 6 with the Mayor’s department. $10,500 was added to this budget.

The main topic was always medical insurance for our employees.
• May 12 was Student Gov. Day and we had an exuberant group that day that seemed to really sink their teeth into the workings of town government at the town council meeting. It was educational for all of us and the thank you notes that we received also gave that indication.

Discuss and take action on proposed ordinances titled Fees for Plan Review by the Fire Marshal and Retirement and Pension Oversight Board – Mayor Krampitz indicated that we had received some opinions from our attorney who specializes in charter language. There are a few more items that need to be considered but the item was left on the agenda for any council discussion or action based on public hearing comments. The Town Council had concerns about the $4,000 fee with the Plan Review for the Fire Marshal. They had concerns about non-profit groups being charged too much and also the possibility of keeping business away. They talked about flat fees or a step increase that could be used. It was a consensus to invite Jack Schubert and Bill Kuehn to the next meeting with ideas for a fee schedule. Comments on the Retirement and Oversight Pension Board included discussions for the need to have a BOE member on the board. There was also discussion about having a union representative on the board but it was pointed out that there are seven unions so it would become cumbersome. More information was asked about liability of membership and BOE involvement.

Discuss and take action on Blight Fees list per Blight Abatement ordinance – Mayor Krampitz informed the Town Council that this was an updated list but the activity started in 2000. Councilman Goodwin stated that if the town collected half of the blight fees, the budget situation would go away. Mayor Krampitz informed the council that the ordinance requires that the list be presented to them at the regular June meeting. The information has been verified by the Building Inspector. Within seventy-five days of receipt of this list, it is deemed approved. Councilwoman Scoville stated that some of the fees due probably outweigh the value of the property and wanted to know what happens to the people who can not pay for the fines. Mayor Krampitz explained there are liens on the properties so they would be required to pay the blight fine before the property was transferred. Councilwoman Murawski asked if the people were aware of the liens and fines. The Mayor explained that she had seen the files and that all the people had received notification and had returned paperwork to that affect. Councilman Goodwin asked if foreclosure is an option. Mayor Krampitz said that the ordinance allowed the town to acquire property.

Discuss and take action to create a Charter Revision Commission – Mayor Krampitz stated that she had received a written request from Councilwoman Murawski and included a list of basic steps for establishing a municipal charter revision commission. Councilwoman Murawski stated that to be able to do something by the November election is almost impossible. Councilwoman Scoville wanted to know what the intent of forming the commission would be and Councilwoman Murawski answered that if the words “by department” are eliminated she would have no problem with it. Councilman Goodwin thought that having a cap would be good for the community. Councilman Zagurski stated that the commission could be made up of new members and old members. Public comment included the need to keep the referendum format because of the large voter turn-out. They recognized the need to change the language and asked the council to consider ways to do that part first and work on other charter issues at a later time. Councilman Sekorski stated that it would be inappropriate to rush through charter revision when we can look at how departments are organized. Mayor Krampitz reviewed some of the steps with the Town Council that are required by state statute. The Mayor explained that the Council could give a tentative time line. MOTION: Councilwoman Scoville moved to create a Charter Revision Commission. SECOND: Councilwoman Murawski.

Discuss and take action to establish Transfer Station fees for FY 2006/07 – Anthony Lorenzetti, Director of Public Works, presented the proposed transfer station fee schedule as it related to upgrades. It was broken down by annual resident permit, tires, appliances, bulky items and demolition and construction materials. A comparison matrix was also distributed that gave a fee comparison of Plymouth to other communities. Councilman Goodwin was concerned about how we police the annual resident fee. If people are not residents, how do we keep them out. He was told that the stickers are a good indicator but it is a manpower issue. Councilwoman Scoville asked if the annual permit could take care of the rest of the fees. The response was that we were losing so much money on demolition and other materials that one small fee would not cover the costs. Councilman Goodwin urged the town to look at creative ways to recycle and reuse motor oil. Councilman Sekorski asked if there might be a way to set up a special fund to deposit the fees instead of the general fund getting the money. Public comment included concerns about the annual fee, the handling of scrap metal and the number of people working there. MOTION: Councilwoman Scoville moved to adopt the proposed 2006 transfer station fees excluding the annual resident permit fee of $50. SECOND: Councilman Goodwin. Discussion took place on motor oil and demolition materials. AMENDMENT: Councilman Sekorski moved to drop the fee for motor oil and have a flat fee of $100 for any pick-up truck for demolition materials. SECOND: Councilman Zagurski. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
