Description
City of Groton, CT municipal meeting - July 5, 2016.
A
B
I
just
wanted
to
remote
our
nitrogen
numbers.
If
you
see
where
we're
having
an
astronomical
month
of
June,
where
we're
right
at
the
limits
of
Technology,
we
have
that
the
two
new
primary
tanks
are
online,
so
they're
currently
rebuilding
number
three
and
then
we'll
do
for
so.
We
kind
of
I
think
I
got
caught
off
guard
I
think
with
those
two
tanks
down.
B
That
really
is
what
heard
as
those
first
couple
of
months,
so
this
year,
we're
probably
looking
at
a
break-even,
maybe
proposition,
but
in
the
future
we're
really
going
to
be
doing
well,
I'm,
confident
of
that
the
sea
bomb
program
that
we
had
talked
about
the
capacity
management
operation
maintainence
that
has
come
together.
I
had
a
friend
of
mine
from
deep
come
down.
Look
at
our
document.
He
was
amazed
at
what
a
great
job
we
did
and
the
fact
that
we
did
it
all
in-house.
B
He
actually
asked
what
consultant
firm
did
it
and
I
said
it
was
just
dozen
gu
project
management
and
such
so
we're
kind
of
proud
of
that
I
just
want
to
bring
up
about
our
Kelsey
brief
she's
going
to
be
leaving
in
a
few
weeks.
She
did
choose
the
University
of
Colorado,
so
she
got
a
five-year
deal
there,
with
everything
paid,
so
she'll
be
able
to
go
through
with
the
research
and
her
PhD.
B
That's
hot
tits
are
was
she's,
actually
learning
about
cancer-causing
compounds
in
the
atmosphere
that
land
in
the
surface
water
and
how
to
remove
those
out
of
the
water
and
stuff.
So
I
told
my
wife
we're
planning
our
next
summer.
Vacation
will
be
out
in
boulder
colorado
go
visit
and
for
those
of
you
tube
for
the
for
the
fireworks,
we
do
have
a
pretty
good
contingency
plan.
I.
Think
I
cci
mayor
on
my
my
correspondences
to
Nick
D'elia,
but
this
is
the
only
exception
year.
Usually
it's
two
operators
inside
lock
up
the
gates.
B
You
know
Nick
runs
out
of
there.
The
police
run
out
of
there,
but
this
year
we
are
going
to
have
one
guy
from
heart
construction
because
we
do
have
the
bypass
pumping
and
then
there's
a
young
lady
that
runs
for
Baker
that
the
bypass
pumping
so
I
think
she
may
be
there
also,
but
she
hasn't
confirmed,
but
just
so
we
have
the
confidence
factor.
B
If
something
was
happen
to
those
pumps,
we
got
somebody
that
that
knows
how
to
how
they're
set
up
and
how
to
run
them
and
all
that
there's
a
good
chance
that
everything
may
be
done
and
those
will
be
off,
but
we're
in
pretty
good
shape.
For
that
so
and
then
I
guess
we
just
follow
through
till
do
stuff
for
the
questions
for
them.
Yep.
A
And-
and
it
will
just
get
to
that
in
a
minute,
but
I
also
want
to
draw
the
council's
attention
to
the
letter
that
you
receive
from
the
theme
the
water
stirred
conservation
manager
of
the
Thames
River
Basin
partnership.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
hospitality.
They
thank
you
for
their
for
your
hospitality.
It
was
very
nice
letter
and
thanks
for
all
you
did
and.
B
Then,
for
some
of
the
council's
that
don't
know,
josh
Josh
will
Resendiz
was
our
very
first
in
turn
down
there
and
you
know
I
know
deputy
mayor
knows
him
pretty
well,
and
the
mayor
knows
some
pretty
well,
but
yeah.
He
was
one
of
the
first
interns.
We
have
the
first
intern.
We
ever
took
out
of
bio
technologies,
and
you
know
we
have
to
know
Josh
and
he
got
an
operator's
job
and
now
we're
getting
accommodation.
Letters
like
that
about
the
young
man.
It's
really
really
great
program,
so
just
stay.
A
There
are
we,
having
are
there
any
questions
for
kevin
on
the
management
report?
We
have
no
old
business
without
a
new
business.
Consideration
of
an
action
to
approve
fuel
cell
energies,
general
permit
registration
form
for
miscellaneous
discharges
of
sewer,
compatible
wastewater
and,
furthermore,
that
the
city
council
be
apprised
of
this
action
with
the
recommendation
that
it
concur
and
Mayor
Marion
Galbraith
be
authorized
to
execute
the
general
permit
registration
form.
We
need
a
motion
to
approve
so.
C
B
So
I
had
got
the
original
email
about
the
power
plant
fuel
cell.
You
know
from
a
pfizer
correspondence
and
you
know
I
immediately
directed
it
up
the
chain,
so
we
met
in
director,
Gaudet's
office
and
actually
Pfizer
came
just
to
actually
do
the
meet
and
greet
so
the
normal
people
that
I
deal
with
visor,
which
is
introducing
us
to
the
actual
individual,
that's
building
the
fuel
cell,
his
company.
So
it's
a
standard.
You
know
power.
B
Plant
discharge
actually
director
go
day,
was
very
familiar
with
any
of
the
chemicals
and
stuff
for
this
power
plant
background.
So
there's
the
bottom
line
is:
there's
nothing.
That's
going
to
harm
the
treatment
system.
They
will
file
a
request
for
discharge.
As
long
as
it's
contingent
on
approval
of
the
WPC
a
we
see,
no
issues
of
it.
The
actual
flow
I
without
looking
through
again
I
think
it's
up
to
a
max
of
20,000
gallons,
a
day
which
we
wouldn't
essentially
even
see,
but
that
would
be
a
max.
B
He
said
it
would
more
be
between,
like
the
eight
and
ten
thousand
range.
So
you
know
it'll
go
in
I'm,
not
sure
when
it's
actually
exposed
to
come
online,
but
you
know
we
don't
see
any
issues
with
it
and
it
hasn't
been
built
yet,
but
he
did
promise
as
a
tour
of
the
facility
once
once
it's
built.
So
he
can
show
us
exactly
what's
going
on
there,
but
we
as
operators
didn't
see
any
issues
with
it
at
all,
but
it
is
continued.
D
D
A
A
A
A
Are
there
any
recognitions
awards
or
memorials,
seeing
none
we'll
go
to
receipt
of
citizens,
petitions
and
comments?
This
is
the
time
when
you
can
address
the
council.
If
you'd
like
to
please
come
to
the
microphone,
make
sure
you
turn
it
on
state,
your
name
and
address,
and
we
have
a
five
minute
limit
and
counselors
Sheffield
will
limit
the
time.
G
G
Address
is
114,
Jupiter
point
road.
Thank
you.
So
we
came
last
July
4th.
We
visited
the
area
and
we
fell
in
love
with
the
with
the
town
and
we
decided
to
venture
and
getting
to
the
the
house
called
the
shack
and
we
decided
that
we
wanted
to
preserve
the
look
and
be
and
authenticity
and
we
did
some
renovations
and
we
spoke
to
we
came
in
here.
We
spoke
to
the
the.
G
Buildings
Department
and
every
time
we
did
something
we
spoke
to
him
and
we
told
him
that
we
were
going
to
build
this
wall.
A
canonical
stone
wall
that
we
felt
was
going
to
enhance
the
appearance,
and
he
said
he
spoke
to
us
and
he
suspect
to
the
neighbors,
make
sure
that
you
take
the
measurements
and
that
everybody
agrees
and
stay
eczema
no
fee
from
DIA
from
the
string,
and
we
follow
all
of
the
rules
that
in
him
80
sign
up
paper
and
we
went
and
we
started
the
construction.
G
And
when
we
were
80%
about
to
be
finished,
we
receive
a
visit
from
the
highway
department
telling
Ostara.
There
have
been
complaining
that
they
had
to
take
measurements
and
he
took
measurements
from
across.
The
stream
with
me
know
that
that
was
the
procedure
we
felt
with.
We
were
told
that
it
was
on
me
from
the
other.
Two
sides
did
the
two
neighbors
and
when
he
took
the
measurements
he
gave
us
the
the
unfortunate
news
Adam
we
had
used.
C
G
Foot
of
the
state
property,
the
city
property
we
were
not
aware
and
that
we
had
to
stop
the
construction.
We
stopped
the
construction
and
we
began
talking
to
different
people
up
until
mrs.
Mayer
all
right.
This
morning
we
met
her.
This
morning
we
spoke
to
her.
We
show
her
pictures
of
the
wall,
we
show
her
our
property
line
and
she
felt
that
the
next
day
was
for
us
to
come
here
and
plead
our
case
to
you.
G
We
had
a
budget
to
do
the
the
enhancement
of
the
property
I
reallocated
fifty
percent
of
our
budget
to
the
moon.
So
it's
very
important
to
us,
and
we
cannot
it's
a
lot
of
money
to
us.
It's
a
lot
of
money
and
it's
almost
complete
the
person
that
we
hire
year.
We
could
have
hire
somebody
to
do
it
cheaper.
We
hire
somebody
that
is
an
artist,
he
does
everything
Hong
carp
and
we
felt
that
it
was
an
enhancement.
After
that
happened.
All
of
our
neighbors
came
to
us
with
within
the
you
know.
G
They
said
we,
we
heard
what
happened,
and
we
just
want
you
to
know
that
if
you
want
us
to
put
a
petition
together,
we
can
do
that
for
you
and
one
by
one.
They
came
and
I
know
that
some
of
them
have
been
sending
letters
to
mail,
your
on
break
and
I
telling
her
and
the
city
of
Grantham
that
that
they
feel
that
the
wall
is
is
enhancing
the
the
appearance
of
via
community.
So
we're
here
to
plead
to
you.
G
A
G
A
Board
of
Appeals
can
give
variances
on
zoning
regulations,
but
does
not
have
the
authority
to
give
away
city
property
I,
don't
have
the
authority
to
give
away
city
property?
So
if
the
council
wishes
to,
they
can
send
this
and
make
this
a
committee.
Referral
I
would
suggest
that
if
you
do
that,
it
would
go
to
the
public
works
committee,
because
this
is
a
roadway.
It's
part
of
the
roadway.
A
There
is
a
process
or
if
you
decide
that
you
wish
to
dispose
of
city
property,
there
is
a
process
that
you
would
have
to
go
through
and
I
think
been
using
that
recently
with
the
property
that's
over
in
the
shopping
center
and
we
had
a
request
for
another
piece
of
property.
So
if
you
wish
to
you
can
put
make
this
a
committee,
referral
I
would
suggest
that
if
you
do
that
that
you
talked
to
both
the
highway
department
and
the
building
and
zoning
official
on
on
the
matter,
what.
C
A
Well,
you'd
have
to
work
it
out
fairly
quickly.
We
have
told
other
people
that
they
had
to
move
fences
that
they
had
to
move
things
when
they
encroached
on
city
property.
We
have
occasionally
let
people
do
plantings,
but
nothing
permanent
or
structural.
We
have
I
can
I
can
think
about
people
who've.
I've
had
to
tell
no
I'm
afraid
you're
going
to
have
to
move
that
and
they
have
moved
it.
So
that
has
been
the
background.
A
A
Okay,
we
will
move
to
approval
of
minutes.
May
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
of
the
June
twentieth
2016
meeting.
Second:
are
there
any
additions
or
Corrections,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
abstaining?
Then
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
of
the
jun
27th
2016
Committee
of
the
Whole
meeting
sir.
Are
there
any
additions
or
Corrections,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
opposed,
abstaining,
Communications

A
H
Effect
on
the
21st
I
attended
the
submarine
century
at
washington
park
and
on
following
down
wednesday
attended
the
summer
blitz,
no
kids
go
hungry
along
with
mayor,
and
I
distribute
plenty
of
flies
to
stop
a
shot.
That
looks
like
a
lot
of
lives
were
picked
up,
so
Danny
not
sure.
If
there's
any
other
places
that
haven't
been
cuz,
I
still
had
extra
flyers
as
well.
So
let
me
know
if
I
need
any
lit,
drops
anywhere.
Other
neighborhood.
H
E
A
I'll,
do
the
same:
I've,
attended,
I,
think
every
submarine
related
activity,
the
water
taxi,
the
farmers
market,
I've
wrote
on
the
water
taxi
every
day
this
weekend.
One
more
ride
in
my
season
pass
will
then
be
free.
So
this
season
pass
is
the
best
deal
in
town
you
buy
a
ticket,
it's
after
you've
gone
on,
five
rides
the
rest
of
free,
so
it
because
it's
fifty
dollars.
So
that's
the
best
deal
in
town
I'll.
A
Just
let
you
know
that
there
is
a
whole
week
of
groton
week,
activities
that
are
built
around
the
submarine
force,
museum
submarine
birthday
party,
sub
base
birthday
party,
so
there's
a
whole
week
of
activities
this
week
and
they
can
be
found
on
ww,
CT
submarines,
entry,
calm
and
tomorrow
there
is
a
coast
guard
band
performance
at
every
point.
It's
at
Avery

this
time.

item
that
went
to
bid.
We
originally
had
a
price
which
we
felt
was
very
high.
We
did
go
out
to
bid
as
this
is
up.
This
is
a
process
which
is
as
good
as
that
which
we
had
looked
at
before,
and
this
would
be
paid
for
by
the
connecticut
municipal,
eight
grants-in-aid.
I
almost
said
aunt
aids
and
grants,
but
I
knew
that
wasn't
right.
So
that's
how
this
would
be
paid
for.
Are
there
any
questions,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye.
E
I
A
This
has
been
discussed
in
committee
of
the
whole.
It
has
been
voted
on
one
time.
This
is
the
second
time
we
will
be
voting
on
it
and
then
it
will
become
ordinance
and
it
changes.
Essentially,
it
changes
the
parking
fees,
the
parking
fines,
any
further
discussion,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye
opposed
abstaining,
deputy
mayor
hedrick
thank.
D
You
resolution
our
day
is
16
day
72.
74,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
mayor
and
council
approved
fuel
cell
energy
incorporated
general
permit
registration
form,
miscellaneous
discharges
of
Stewart
compatible
wastewater
and
that
Mayor
Marion
Galbraith
be
authorized,
execute
a
general
permit
registration
form
I,
so
move
second.
C
A
We
just
discussed
this
in
the
WPC
a
are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
opposed.
Abstaining.
I
would
like
to
ask
for
a
motion
to
amend
the
agenda
for
a
very
brief
discussion
on
something
that
I
left
out
of
committee.
Bleep
excuse
me
reports
and
correspondence.
E
A
At
our
last
meeting,
I
asked
you
during
committee
reports,
if
it
would
be
okay
with
you,
if
the
chief
and
I
were
to
meet
with
town
manager,
Mark
off
finger
and
chief
Pissarro,
to
discuss
some
of
the
issues
that
are
on
the
table
about
things
like
dispatch
jail.
Things
like
that
mayor
flex
has,
and
at
that
time
there
was
discussion
about
who
should
be
involved.
Mayor.
A
Flax
has
indicated
that
he
intends
to
attend,
intends
to
attend
those
meetings,
and
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
still
had
your
okay
to
to
meet
or
whether
you
wish
to
withdraw
that.
That's
because
it's
a
different
condition
that
we
discussed
I
wanted
to
make
sure
how
you
felt
whether
you
were
still
in
agreement.
H
I
D
J
E
A
All
right,
thank
you
for
that
indulgence.
We
now
need
a
motion
to
go
into
executive
session
to
discuss
to
discuss
strategy
or
negotiations
with
respect
to
collective
bargaining
to
include
chris
hodgson,
Ron,
yuhas
and
Laurie
sheets.
Second,
all
in
favor
say
aye.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
will
probably
have
motions
to
vote
on
when
we
come
out.
Okay,
council
Sheffield.
