A
We'll
move
on
to
recognitions
Awards
memorials
cancels
anything
from
you
guys.
Okay,
I
have
a
proclamation
for
Public
Power
week,
so
this
is
from
the
office
of
the
mayor
city
of
Groton
Connecticut,
a
proclamation
for
Public
Power
week,
whereas
in
the
early
1900s
City
ground
residents
invested
in
a
municipal,
Public
Power
Department
that
became
known
as
Groton
utilities
and
we're
as
ground
utilities
provide
safe,
reliable
and
affordable
electricity
to
the
city
of
Groton
and
the
surrounding
area.
A
Success
directly
stems
from
Community
ownership
and
local
decision
makers,
and
whereas
the
city
of
Groton,
mayor
council,
Commission
and
residents
recognize
the
people
behind
Groton
utilities
and
Public
Power
Who
Remain
committed
to
keeping
our
community
energized
and
whereas
ground
utilities
is
celebrating
Public
Power
week,
along
with
more
than
2
000
other
community-owned,
not-for-profit
electric
utilities.
Nationwide.
A
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
I
Keith
Hedrick,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Groton,
on
behalf
of
the
citizens
and
city
council,
to
hereby
proclaim
the
week
of
October
2nd
through
the
8th
2022
as
Public
Power
week,
recognizing
all
the
teams
of
grinding
utilities
the
play
a
vital
role
in
keeping
our
community
up
and
running
from
lineman
and
substation
Personnel
to
engineering
operations
and
administration,
all
whom
contributes
to
Grant
Utilities
in
a
great
Public
Power
Community.
Success
given
under
my
hand
the
third
day
of
October
2022,
signed
Keith
Hedrick,
Mayer
city
of
grad.
C
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
a
couple
things,
but
one
especially
because
we
passed
by
him
frequently
is
the
employees
that
are
working
along
Pequannock
road
with
all
the
dust
and
heat
and
rain,
and
everything
and
they're
still
out
there
day
in
and
day
out
and
especially
to
those
who
direct
us
up
and
down
the
hill.
So
I
just
want
to
say,
I
appreciate
you
and
the
second
one
I
wanted
to
recognize
the
Fitch
co-ops
girls
swim
team.
C
A
Who
knows?
Okay,
moving
on
receded
citizens,
petitions
comments
receive
the
citizen.
Petitions
is
the
portion
of
the
council
meeting
or
the
council
welcomes
comments
from
citizens
to
address
the
Council
of
police
signed
a
sheet
on
the
table
in
front
of
the
meeting
room.
When
you
are
recognized,
please
approach
sodium,
clearly
state
your
name
and
address.
Each
presentation
should
be
limited
to
five
minutes
or
less,
and
citizens
should,
if
possible,
submit
email
or
written
comments.
Presentations
should
be
related
to
matters
pertinent
to
the
city
of
Groton.
A
D
Exploring
the
default
options.
I
know
that
there's
been
some
some
meetings
with
HUD.
The
town
manager
sent
out
a
report
the
other
day,
so
I'd
be
curious
to
know
some
details
on
that
in
the
current
state
of
play.
As
far
as
trying
to
compel
some
sort
of
compliance
and
adherence
to
the
to
the
the
agreement,
the
tax
payment
agreement,
but
still
that
doesn't
change
the
fact
that
they
did
not
do
what
they
were
supposed
to
do
when
they
were
supposed
to
do
it.
So
that
is
a
default
by
definition.
D
D
You
know
come
on
to
the
ballot
for
this
November
short
of
that
I
think
it
is
a
thing
that
maybe
you
know
the
city
council
should
hold
some
sort
of
public
hearing
on,
since
we
don't
have
the
time
to
do
it
before
November
as
far
as
getting
on
the
ballot,
so
it'd
have
to
kind
of
happen.
In-House
I
do
not
like
the
proposal
of
holding
it
having
a
vote
to
hold
the
election
in
May
one
more
time
around
or
the
November
thing
that
you
know.
D
D
D
That
would
just
be
sort
of
an
assurance
from
someone
who
or
from
a
body
that
may
not
be
back
in
his
totality.
You
know
and
because
you
know
there
is
an
election
and
there's
a
whole
other
party
and
a
whole
bunch
of
unaffiliated
Voters
in
town,
that
you
know
anybody
can
run
for
city
council
and
anyone
can
run
for
mayor.
So
you
know
we
don't
know
who's
going
to
be
in
these
seats
in
the
future,
so
I
think
probably
the
best
way.
If
there's
a
genuine
desire
to
know
the
will
of
the
people.
D
So
it
doesn't
feel
like
anyone's
getting
blindsided,
but
it
the
decision
has
to
be
made
before
January
one
way
or
the
other,
because
January
makes
the
decision
for
us
moving
into
November.
If
nothing's
done
now,
you
know
full
disclosure,
I
am
in
favor
of
the
the
election
being
moved
to
November
so
like,
but
I
also
am
just
one
person
out
of
a
whole
population
of
the
city.
So
you
know
due
diligence
is,
is
to
try
to
get
the
word
out.
D
Spread
awareness
and
you
know,
have
the
hearing
and
try
to
take
the
Pulse
of
the
people
in
a
documented
recorded
fashion
and
I
can
appreciate
the
ideas
of
surveys.
I
can
appreciate
the
ideas
of
referendums,
but
we
don't
have
the
time
to
wait
for
the
referendum
and
that
there's
no
guarantee
that
we'll
have
you
know
cohesion
and
continuity
from
one
Council
to
another.
There
could
be
a
change
of
will
there
and
you
know
the
the
survey
well.
I
think
also
is
a
great
idea,
but
you
know
it's
hard
to
get
scientific
with
it.
D
You
know
so
I
think
going
through
the
existing
Pathways
of
a
public
hearing,
posting
notices
and
just
really
getting
comprehensive
and
like
maybe
aiming
to
try
to
have
that
process
completed
and
a
vote
done
before
the
you
know
like
say
by
mid-December
or
so
might
be
the
best
way
to
try
to
split
the
difference,
and
you
know
honor.
The
will
of
the
electorate-
and
you
know
have
this
body-
take
care
of
that
business
before
we
know
what
happens
in
the
next
year.
No
thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
Porsche
bordelon,
24,
Jefferson
Drive
for
full
disclosure
I'm.
Also
a
Groton
Town
counselor
I
want
to
start
by
talking.
I
stand
with
Brantford,
Manor
and
I
agree
again
and
I
ask
this
Council
to
do
something,
something
a
written,
something
to
go
forward
that
you
guys
are
aligned
in
some
fashion,
either
against
any
action
or
any
formal
action
or
of
types,
even
if
it's
not
to
put
them
in
to
type
any
type
of
default.
Some
written
statement
coming
from
the
elected
officials
would
be
a
voice
to
those
folks
in
Brantford.
E
Currently
there's
nothing
that
has
come
forward.
There
is
a
letter
that
I
encourage
you
guys
to
look
back
at
that.
The
mayor
of
the
city
and
the
town
manager
came
into
agreement
with
with
related,
and
if
you
don't
have
that
letter,
it
was
dated
I
think
June,
28th
I
might
be
wrong.
I,
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me,
but
you
can
ask,
and
it
talks
about
all
these
things.
That
related
says
they're
going
to
do
and
they
say
and
sign.
E
I
can
speak
and
say
almost
majority
on
there
have
not
been
addressed
in
their
entirety
yet,
and
that
has
been
written
since
June.
So
what
are
our
plans?
Where
are
we
going?
What
are
we
doing?
Has
anyone
asked
from
this
Council
about
that
letter
and
I?
Encourage
you
guys
to
be
a
voice
and
Advocate?
It
doesn't
have
to
be
driven
just
through
the
mayor
here.
E
You
guys
are
elected
elected
at
large
to
speak
openly
and
actively
about
anything
you
see
as
dysfunctional
wrong
or
that
you
oppose
and
I
just
encourage
more
discussion
and
dialogue
to
go
in
that
fashion.
With
that
data,
centers
I
know,
you
spoke
about
the
power
agreement
which
I
I
think
they're
wonderful,
but
with
that
in
order
to
keep
a
wonderful
power
company,
as
was
stated,
we
cannot
I
encourage
this
Council
to
never
agree
to
vote
on
anything
dealing
with
a
data
sent
in
the
town
of
Groton.
E
It
will
dramatically
affect
our
relationship
as
a
small
quaint
local
power
company,
as
desired
I
know
down
in
Basra
they're,
already
working
with
rotten
utilities
and
aligning
and
there's
some
other
things,
but
I
encourage
this
Council
to
keep
a
pulse
of.
What's
going
on
because
Groton
utilities
not
just
Groton
five
corners
you're,
currently
working
on
you
know
creating
a
floating,
Zone,
bad
bad
bad
decision
as
a
person
who
lives
up
the
road
from
it,
I
will
not
support
in
any
fashion.
The
level
in
which
this
is
now
being
redirected
looks
less
than
desirable.
E
If
you
look
in
the
paper
tonight,
Ned
Lamont
is
pulling
out
of
the
wrestler
deal
the
city,
that's
something
I've
been
backing
from
for
quite
some
time,
almost
lost
the
election
over
that
almost
was
voted
off,
and
was
it
was
stated
that
some
counselors
did
not
want
me
to
get
back
on
because
it
was
the
biggest
deal
in
Groton
and
I.
Encourage
you
guys
to
be
on
the
right
side
of
any
deals
and
development
that
five
corners
deal
needs
to
be
vetted
properly.
E
Stop
trying
to
change
the
zoning
to
fit
the
need
of
a
developer.
You
should
have
your
RFP
development
agreement
setup
that
you
are
ready
to
direct
what
we
as
the
people,
want
in
the
town
and
then
have
the
developer
work
towards
the
agreement,
not
change
things
to
accommodate
the
tapestry
of
the
community,
so
I
encourage
you
guys
to
really
look
for.
You
know,
look
through
that
and
you
know
be
mindful
also
as
well
as
the
voting.
E
Absolutely
you
say
that
you've
talked
to
people
I
heard
someone
say:
oh,
is
that
Cumberland,
Farms
and
I
spoke
to
this
person.
If
you're
truly
doing
the
work
of
the
people
which
I
encourage
this
Council
to
do
it
should
be
on
your
web
page.
It's
not.
You
should
be
putting
Facebook
Flyers
out,
like
we
do
in
the
town.
When
there's
something
changing.
There
should
be
something
on
coming
from
the
the
clerk's
office,
not
a
whisper.
The
only
people
who
know
are
the
people
who
are
heavily
involved.
E
So
for
you
to
sit
and
speak
on
behalf
of
of
the
community.
You
can't
really
do
that
without
really
blasting
it.
It
has
yet
to
be
blasted
out
there.
The
only
blast
that's
come
is
if
I
come
here
and
speak,
Korean
comes
and
speak
outside
of
that
it's
mute,
so
I
ask:
where
is
your
post
where's,
the
state's
agreement
posted
up,
so
the
people
can
know
where's
the
transparency
on
that?
How
come
nobody
in
the
community
knows
about
it?
How
come
it's
not
up
on
the
channel?
How
come
it's
not
on
the
website?
E
A
E
That
I
think
there
should
be
a
hearing
to
invite
people
out,
but
first
you
can't
be
just
a
hearing
next
week
and
you
didn't
put
it
out
on
web
series.
It
needs
to
be
blasted
first,
so
I
encourage
you
guys
to
do
the
work
of
the
people
and
ask
your
mayor
and
Deputy
Mayor
and
clerk
to
get
these
things
out,
because
you
can,
as
counselors
ask
for
that
and
I
think
that
would
show
that
you're
really
looking
for
the
community's
import
input.
I
will
stand
that
I
support
November.
E
My
reason
is
for
transparency
and
accountability
and
and
voter
disenfranchisement
the
state
moved
for
that
direction.
For
a
reason,
it
was
said
many
times
so
this
or
that
it
makes
sense
to
put
everything
on
one
streamline.
We
don't
have
to
debate
back
and
forth
here.
It's
obvious.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
merging
the
town
of
the
city.
I
love
the
fact
that
the
city
is
a
city
in
the
towns,
the
town.
The
only
way
that
the
city
can
merge
with
the
town
is
that
the
city
chooses
to
merge
with
the
town.
E
E
A
Try
and
rushing
it
all
out.
Okay,
this
is
responsive
citizens.
Petitions
comments,
I,
want
to
caution
the
council
that
last
time
we
had
a
assistant
petition
responses,
but
he's
coming
to
get
into
a
debate.
It
is
not
a
debate
back
and
forth.
It
is
a
response
and
you're
responding
to
their
comments,
not
to
each
other.
So
with
that,
are
there
any
responses?
F
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
again
for
coming
out.
I
want
to
encourage
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
to.
Please
come
to
our
meetings
and
speak.
It
is
one
of
the
best
ways
to
get
your
ideas
to
the
council.
Email
is
another
good,
one
or
obviously
in
person,
but
coming
to
the
council
meetings.
Is
these
for
us
to
take
notes
and
listen
to
everything
you
have
to
say
so.
F
Think
in
our
last
update
last
week
we
received
there
was
a
note
about
it,
but
they
didn't
have
the
plan
in
place
yet,
but
ledge
light
is
now
going
to
knock
on
every
door
in
Brentford
Manor,
the
the
the
percentage
of
units
that
they
inspected
that
found
mold
has
now
reached
a
level
where
they
can
say
to
related
that
it
is
not
government
overreach
that
it
is
appropriate
to
Canvas
the
rest
of
the
units
I
from
what
I
saw.
Brantford
is
not
very
happy
about
that.
F
But
I
agree
with
ledgelight
that
you
know,
and
we
discussed
this
in
the
beginning.
In
the
beginning,
we
can't
just
go
to
everyone's
house
and
inspect
it
and
force
them
to.
Let
us
inspect
them.
That's
not
how
the
system
works.
However,
the
rate
of
the
finding
of
mold
in
the
units
has
given
ledge
light
the
ability
to
say
you
know
what
we
do
need
to
make
sure
that
every
single
unit
owner
is
aware,
I
think
branford's
idea
was,
you
know,
we
provide
information,
and
the
mayor
and
I
had
said
this
in
the
beginning.
F
Just
because
you
have
a
information
available,
doesn't
mean
that
everyone
has
read
it
or
understands
it
and
I
know
we've
had
throughout
the
covid
pandemic.
We've
had
we've
canvassed
to
get
people,
information
on
vaccinations
and
stuff
like
that.
So
we
know
that
people
need
to
be
met
where
they
are
to
get
the
information.
So
that
is
something
that's
happened
this
week.
That's
a
change
that
will
be
going
forward
and
I
think
I
think
ledge
light.
F
They
might
have
sent
like
a
plan
of
how
many
units
they're
going
to
try
to
knock
on
each
week
or
something
like
that,
but
they
are
literally
making
a
list
of
every
unit
and
making
sure
they
touch
base
with
every
resident
over
in
River
Manor
to
make
sure
that
if
they
want
an
inspection
in
their
unit,
they
can
get
one
from
ledge
light
without
having
to
call
or
figure
out
who
to
talk
to.
So
to
me,
that's
the
positive
one
of
the
positive
things
that
happened
this
week.
F
F
If
you
are
a
resident
and
you
have
a
question
or
you
think
something
doesn't
seem
right
or
you're
unsure,
you
can
just
call
our
building
department
or
call
the
mayor's
office,
and
you
can
ask
hey:
is
there
a
regulation
about
what
the
heat
has
to
be
in
my
apartment,
because
in
your
apartment
the
landlord
cannot
let
the
heat
go
below
65
degrees?
They
have
to
turn
their
heat
on.
That
is
not
legal,
so
if
that
is
happening,
reach
out
to
our
building
department
and
they
will
enforce
that
code,
but
I
just
want
to
say.
F
I
I
happened
to
see
that
on
Facebook.
That
is
not
always
the
case,
so
I'm
just
urging
everyone.
If
you
have
a
question
about
what
is
legal
in
your
unit
any
across
the
whole
city
anywhere,
not
just
in
Brentford
Manor,
please
reach
out
to
the
building
department
or
the
health
department,
both
of
them.
You
can
just
call
them
up
and
ask
them
a
question.
You
don't
have
to
have
any
kind
of
official
anything.
So
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
do
that.
I.
Think
not!
F
Everyone
is
aware
of
how
easy
that
is
and
I've
been
trying
to
spread
the
word
since
this
whole
thing
kind
of
started
about
moving
the
election,
so
I
agree
that
we
might
not
be
the
same
Council
sitting
here
after
the
election.
In
fact,
we
probably
won't
but
I
think
that
the
will
of
the
people
is
whoever
is
sitting
in
these
seats
and
if
we
are
able
to
put
on
the
ballot
when
the
election
is
held,
so
I
get
that
now.
F
Move
allow
the
election
to
move
to
November.
Now
we
can
literally
just
delay
it
one
term
to
give
the
people
more
time
because
you're
right
people
don't
know
about
it.
It's
not
been
publicized,
and
part
of
that
is
because
we
didn't
know
about
it
until
about
a
month
and
a
half
ago,
and
we
in
discussions
here
haven't
figured
out
how
to
make
that
decision.
I
think
that's
kind
of
how
I
feel
about
it.
F
I
in,
in
my
opinion,
if
we
want
to
honor
the
will
of
the
electorate,
we
should
let
the
electorate
choose
and
the
only
way
you
can
do
a
public
hearing.
But
the
same
argument
can
be
made
about
surveys
about
putting
it
on
the
May
election
and
on
the
May
ballot.
Instead
of
the
November
ballot,
if
we
want
the
most
people
to
come
out
and
have
their
voice
heard
on
that
issue,
it
should
be
when
the
most
people
are
able
to
do
that,
and
that's
unfortunately,
not
going
to
be
at
a
public
hearing.
F
I
know:
we've
all
been
to
public
hearings
and
we
do
sometimes
get
a
good
crowd,
but
nowhere
near
the
number
of
people
who
vote.
So
if
we
want
to
hear
the
opinion
from
most
of
the
people,
the
best
way
to
do
that
is
to
put
it
on
the
ballot,
I
think
and
again
I
just
like
to
me.
I
I,
don't
know
it
felt
like
we
needed
to
make
a
decision
right
away,
but
there's
no
reason
to
to
change
it
so
quickly.
F
F
F
There's
probably
no
way
for
those
people
to
get
elected
again,
so
I,
don't
I.
Don't
personally
see
that
happening
from
past
experience
of
the
voters
saying
one
thing
and
the
council
voting
another
way
again.
Also
because
of
the
majority
vote,
it's
not
a
three-fourths
vote
to
move
it
if
we
keep
it
in
May
and
then
move
it
to
November.
F
It's
only
a
majority
vote
so
I
understand
what
you're
saying
I
I
do
think
that
if
we
are
going
to
give
the
people
a
chance
to
to
vote
on
it
or
choose,
we
should
try
to
make
it
when
the
most
people
are
going
to
be
able
to
weigh
in
yeah.
So
that's
how
I
feel
about
that
again
and
I.
Also
just
I
I,
don't
feel
like
it's
prudent
for
us
to
push
through
when
we've
been
provided
a
way
to
delay.
F
It
a
term
by
the
legislature,
I
also
am
not
a
big
fan
of
the
legislatures,
just
telling
us
what
to
do
without
even
asking
Our
advice.
So
I
would
like
to
ask
that
what
the
people
of
the
city
think,
because
they
weren't
afforded
that
before
this
law
was
made.
So
that
is
what
I
think
on
the
Five
Corners
issue.
That
is
a
planning
and
zoning
issue,
so
I
would
encourage
people
to
send
comments
to
the
planning
and
zoning
department
if
they
have
questions
about
the
floating
Zone
comments.
F
Opinions
on
the
floating,
Zone
I
would
encourage
people,
obviously
you've
spoken
tonight,
but
if
people
have
opinions
on
that,
that
should
go
right
to
Planning
and
Zoning.
We
don't
get
a
vote
on
that,
so
planning
and
zoning
department
does
and
feedback
matters,
so
those
are
the
people
that
need
that
feedback.
So
I
encourage
people
if
they
have
an
opinion
on
that
or
anything
Planning
and
Zoning.
Please
send
it
directly
to
Planning
and
Zoning,
because
most
of
the
stuff
that
goes
to
Planning
and
Zoning
does
not
come
to
this
Council.
F
It's
just
the
way
it's
set
up,
so
I
would
encourage
people
to
to
do
that.
I'm,
not
saying
we
don't
get
an
opinion.
We
can
obviously
speak
out
and
have
an
opinion,
but
the
most
effective
thing
is
to
tell
those
people
what
your
opinion
is,
because
they
are
the
ones
that
are
voting
on
that
issue
and
I
also
agree.
I
I
know
that
our
police
department
does
do
the
patches
for
breast
cancer
awareness
month.
F
I,
don't
know
if
we
do
internally
any
like
reminders
for
mammograms
I
think
would
be
a
good
idea
at
least
and
then
on
our
website.
I
think
that's
something
I
always
think
about
in
October,
because
that's
kind
of
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
they
spread
awareness
is
to
remind
everyone
to
get
their
mammogram
and
I.
Think
that's
a
great
idea.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up
and
that's
all.
C
Thank
you,
Steve,
so
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
parallels
in
reference
to
our
the
different
issues
that
are
discussed
and
it
what
I'm
hearing
is
decision
making
decision
making
decision,
making
that
we
need
to
make
a
decision.
That
seems
to
be
parallel,
not
just
some
Brantford
Manor,
but
the
election,
and
also
in
five
corners
and
I.
C
Do
remember
that
some
citizens
came
out
in
reference
and
spoke
about
five
corners,
and
quite
a
few
of
them
were
quite
dismayed
about
the
whole
planning
at
that
time
of
what
was
what
was
going
to
be
so
I
know
they
had
come
out.
So
what
and
I
guess
what
I'm
getting
to
is
that
if
we
need
to
make
decisions,
I
think
we
do
need
to
put
it
out
there
and
I
think
we
do
need
to
make
decisions.
C
We
have
been
talking
talking
talking,
talking,
I,
think
and
even
though
it's
come
to
us
late
and
I
do
hear
in
reference
to
that.
We
shouldn't
push
forward,
but
then
there
are
some
things
that
we
have
pushed
forward
quickly,
so
I
I,
guess
I'm,
just
I
I'm.
Laying
this
out-
and
just
it
just
seems
that.
Well,
we
don't
want
to
push
this,
but
we
want
to.
We
want
to
vote.
We
want
to
make
a
decision.
Can
you
make
a
decision?
C
Maybe
you
should
make
a
decision,
but
I
think
what
all
boils
down
to
is
our
constituents
of
Groton
and
in
reference
to
and
you'll
have
to,
I
have
to
apologize
for
my
ignorance
on
probably
the
five
corners
I
followed,
some
of
it
so
I
don't
know
if
I
can
ask
a
question
in
reference
to
this,
so
in
reference
to
the
Five
Corners.
Is
this
something
also
that
can
be
put
on
the
ballot
for
the
voters
to
decide
what
they
want?
C
A
C
Thank
you
for
bringing
up
the
survey
I
totally
hear
that
and
as
far
as
like
how
much
time
it
takes
and
so
forth,
and
so
on,
I
really
appreciate
everybody's
comments
on
it.
Like
you
have
to
think
about
this,
you
have
to
think
about
that
and
all
the
things
that
takes
time
things
do
take
time,
but
you
know
how
are
we
really
reaching
our
constituents?
C
You
know
how
are
we
doing
it?
I
I
know
just
one
time:
I
put
something
out
on
a
Nextdoor
app
and
a
lot
of
people
said
wow
I
didn't
know
that
it
was
actually,
for
example,
with
somebody
from
our
bus
lab
that
posted
something
that
social
services
was
doing
about
clothing
and
that,
like
a
lot
of
people,
didn't
even
know
what's
there
and
they
didn't
know
that
was
happening.
C
As
far
as
voting
so
there's
a
lot
to
look
at,
but
I
think
we've
been
talking,
I'm
just
wondering
do
we
can
we
create
a
plan
that
we're
actually
going
to
do
this
by
this
month
and
do
this
by
this
meeting
and
do
this
by
this
meet?
So
we
have
a
little
plan
or
an
outline
of
some
sort.
Instead
of
you
know
it's
not
instead
of
but
we've
continually
discussed.
I
know
we're
on
a
pressure
line
here,
but
could
we
have
an
outline
of
our
next
meeting
we're
going
to
decide
this
on
next
meeting?
C
We're
going
to
discuss
it
in
our
next
meeting,
we're
going
to
decide
I've,
I'm
thinking
right
now
that
maybe
we're
just
we're
waiting
till
January
to
put
it
on
the
ballot
I'm,
just
wondering.
If
we,
you
know,
we
have
a
short
amount
of
time.
Can
we
actually
move
it
to
actually
give
ourselves
availability
to
say
yes,
I'm
for
that,
and
also
our
constituents,
and
you
know
like
actually
draft
up
something.
This
is
how
we
can
reach
our
constituents.
A
A
We
are
working
on
that
now.
I
have
reached
out
to
Ted
Bromley
with
the
elections
and
as
a
series
of
questions
to
him.
I
also
reached
out
to
my
legislators
and
Senator
Senator
Summers,
sent
me
something.
I
haven't
sent
that
to
you
guys
yet,
but
I
will
I've
also
reached
out
to
my
attorney
our
attorney
City
attorney
and
we've
reached
out
to
CCM.
A
Regarding
Brantford
Manor,
John,
Burt
and
I
are
continuing
to
reach
out
to
related
to
move
them
forward
to
continue
to
move
the
plan.
The
standing
at
this
point
is
that
the
inspections
are
almost
complete
and
then
they
will
start
remediation
soon
and
as
soon
as
they
get
that
plan
on
how
they're
going
to
do
that.
They're
going
to
share
that
with
us.
A
A
A
Hud
as
looking
at,
what
can
they
do
is
they
blumenthal's
office
is
also
looking
at
what
they
can
do
at
this
point,
the
they
are
concerned
that
taking
taking
this
away
from
related
is
not
the
right
thing
to
do,
because
you
have
442
families
that
way
you
would
have
to
find
homes
for,
and
there
are
not
442
available
apartments
in
the
County
New
London.
So
we
need
to
continue
to
move
forward.
A
A
And
then
we
will
then
get
involved.
The
thing
is:
there's
different,
so
there's
different
responses
out
on
Facebook
as
to
who
controls
what
thermostat
and
whether
that's
controlled
by
related
or
whether
or
not
is
controlled
by
the
individuals
and
there
and
so
I
have
the
question
out
to
find
out
what
that
answer
is,
but
the,
but
the
requirement
is
if
the
temperature,
if
the
heat
is
below
65
degrees
in
the
house,
then
that's
a
problem
so
they're
going
to.
Let
us
know,
let's
see
what
else.
A
You
have
seen
the
deficiencies
that
were
identified
and
the
responses,
so
you
have
information
that
I
have
available
and
you
have
the
same
information
as
the
Town
Council
has
and
that's
all
I
have
okay.
So
we
will
move
forward
to
approval
of
the
minutes.
I'll.
Take
a
motion
to
approve
the
mayor
and
Council
minutes
of
September
19
2022..
So
much.
A
A
C
A
F
F
So
it's
the
fourth
Friday
of
every
month,
I
think
I
made
11
deliveries
this
month.
So
if
you
could
use
a
box
of
food
if
it
will
help
you
pay
your
other
bills,
please
come
down
to
our
food
box
distributions
the
fourth
Friday
of
the
month
from
12
to
12
30
to
2,
and
if
you
can't
make
it
to
the
food
box
distribution,
please
feel
free
to
email
me
contact
the
mayor's
office.
We
will
make
sure
that
you
get
a
delivery
of
food.
Somehow
not
only
do
I
deliver.
F
We
also
have
a
resident
who
volunteers
and
he
feels
a
struck
up
and
he
drives
around
the
city
and
delivers
food.
So
we
have
plenty
of
volunteers
that
can
help.
So
if
you
are,
if
you
can
use
a
box
of
food,
we
will
bring
you
box
food
on
the
27th
of
September
I,
attended
the
EOC
drilled,
Emergency
Operations
Center,
drill
practice
that
we
had
here
and
it's
very
interesting.
F
We
use
this
wonderful
map
over
here,
so
we
get
like
a
simulated
exercise
of
some
kind
of
instance
that
happens
in
the
area,
and
we
have
this
room
is
an
emergency
Operation
Center
we've
got
the
police
department,
Building
Department
fire
department
everybody's
in
here,
and
they
all
coordinate
to
make
sure
that
we
take
care
of
our
residents,
whether
that's
to
shelter
in
place
or
to
disseminate
potassium
iodide
or
go
break
up
traffic
issues.
It's
like
a
practice
run.
F
F
F
So
I
just
wanted
to
let
everyone
know
that
I
don't
always
get
such
direct
contact
via
email
and
then
I
was
going
to
bring
up
brand
for
Banner,
but
I
just
want
to
Echo
what
the
mayor
said.
If
you
have
an
issue,
you
know
contact
your
landlord
first.
If
your
landlord's
not
responsive,
you
are
well,
even
if
it
doesn't
even
matter,
you
can
contact
the
building
department,
the
health
department,
they
are
all
accessible
to
every
resident.
A
H
That
way
so
good
evening,
yes,
I,
wanted
to
come
and
talk
to
you
guys
generally
about
our
community
outreach
and
some
of
the
resources
that
we're
using
now
and
also
kind
of
give
a
background
of
some
of
the
things
that
we've
done
in
the
time
frames
that
it
has
taken
us
to
use
some
of
the
online
platforms
to
kind
of
get
some
feedback
in.
So
just
a
quick
summary.
H
We
did
a
lot
of
online
community
engagement
in
2021,
leading
up
to
our
visioning
theme,
Street
and
Community
resiliency
plan
we
conducted
The
Groton
Riverwalk.
We
got
a
total
of
202
responses
that
was
all
done
through
SurveyMonkey
and
that
took
about
seven
months
to
get
that
type
of
feedback
in.
We
also
did
a
city
of
Groton
Community
preference
survey,
which
kind
of
highlighted
how
often
people
wanted
to
hear
from
us,
which
kind
of
gave
us
the
background
to
actually
get
the
newsletter
out
and
running.
H
That
was
out
for
five
months
and
we
got
73
responses,
then
the
city
of
Groton
value
and
awareness.
This
was
the
initial
Outreach
to
start
to
build
an
understanding
of
what
that
brand
and
Logo
would
look
like
in
the
meaning
of
the
city
of
Groton.
We
got
about
200
responses
for
that,
and
that
was
out.
It
took
us
about
five
months
to
get
the
those
responses
in
then
fast
forwarding
to
2022.
H
We
no
longer
have
the
SurveyMonkey
platform.
We
have
decided
to
combine
it
with
some
other
resources
which
I'll
get
to
in
just
a
moment,
but
thus
far
for
this
one,
we
are
using
a
Google
platform
through
the
consultant
Miranda
creative.
The
survey
has
been
out
online
for
about
three
months
now
and
thus
far,
we've
got
86
responses.
In
addition
to
the
online
presence
we
have
been
hold.
We
held
three
in-person
workshops
between
April
and
July
to
try
to
get
people
to
come
out.
H
H
This
city
of
Groton
brand
is
something
that
can
be
used
to
help
us
Define
our
commercial
districts,
Banner
slogan,
community
events,
it's
something
that
really
Embraces,
both
our
businesses
and
residents
and
our
projection
forward
of
how
we
really
see
our
community.
So
we
really
love
to
see
everyone
participate
in
that
effort
to
participate.
The
easiest
way
to
do
it
is
to
go
to
the
city
of
Groton
website
on
the
main
screen.
You
will
see
a
banner
that
says,
help
us
to
find
our
city.
H
We
want
to
get
as
much
Community
input,
that's
meaningful,
but
also
not
have
projects
tied
up
while
we
wait
for
that,
so
still
trying
to
balance
that
out,
but
we
recommend
at
least
four
months
and
a
good
sampling
size.
We've
been
going
for
a
goal
of
about
200
plus
respondents
of
getting
something
in
as
far
as
resources.
We
do
not
have
the
SurveyMonkey
account
anymore.
The
city
of
groton's
newsletter
is
the
best
resource
we
have
to
get
information
out.
That
audience
base
is
roughly
6
000,
it
is
through
email.
H
We
do
have
these
door
hangers
that
go
out
throughout
the
community
for
people
to
sign
up
for
it.
It
is
through
the
internet.
So
well,
we
hope
people
have
email,
we
know
not.
Everyone
has
access
to
it.
So
we
are
looking
for
other
alternatives
to
be
able
to
provide
maybe
a
printed
copy,
or
at
least
access
at
a
public
library,
so
that
they
can
view
the
information
and
then
this
the
newsletter
is
done
through
Constant
Contact.
H
It
does
have
a
survey
function,
but
once
again,
that
is
only
to
the
audience
that
is
signed
up
to
your
newsletter.
As
far
as
greater
Groton
is
the
community
engagement
tool
online
tool
that
we
are
going
to
at
the
moment
we're
currently
switching
over
to
with
this
tool
every
individual
has
to
register.
So
you
have
your
own
profile
and
it's
a
way
for
us
to
all
kind
of
communicate
back
and
forth.
It's,
it's
like
Facebook,
but
it's
more
project
and
focus
oriented
around
things
that
are
going
around
going
on
and
greater
Groton.
H
So
all
of
Groton,
but
within
our
case
the
city
of
Groton.
So
yes
highly
encourage
people
to
one
register
for
the
newsletter,
so
they
can
stay
up
to
date
and
to
register
for
greater
Groton.
So
we
can
have
that
Community
engagement
and
everyone
can
participate
if
you
do
not
have
a
computer
access
to
a
computer.
Please
visit
billmemorial
library
or
Groton
public
library,
because
these
resources
are
available,
obviously
through
their
resources
and
open
for
questions.
G
A
G
G
F
You
mayor
so
I
have
taken
the
survey
and
I
think
early
on
I
posted
it
on
my
Facebook,
but
I.
Don't
know
how
many
City
residents
follow
my
Facebook
page.
Unfortunately,
we
often
have
trouble
posting
on
community
forums,
which
is
probably
the
best
way
to
get
people
who
are
on
Facebook,
because
anything
we
post
is
kind
of
viewed
as
political
and
some
of
the
forums
don't
like
that.
H
So
no
I'm,
not
on
any
of
the
Groton
Community
forums,
could
I
just
add
a
comment
for
Facebook
for
the
tagline
survey.
We
did
invest
some
money
to
actually
boost
the
post
and
we
did
it
with
Groton
the
city
of
Groton
geographic
location
in
mind,
so
that,
basically,
when
you
do
it,
it
is.
It
is
a
paid
advertisement,
but
it
brings
anyone
who's
registered
within
Facebook
with
that
lives
within
the
city.
H
F
H
F
Your
ad,
which
might
be
helpful
information
I.
The
reason
I
was
asking,
is
because
it
might
be
helpful
for
someone
who
is
not
an
elected
official
to
reach
out
to
the
admins
of
the
community
forum
and
I
I.
Don't
know
if
I
mean
even
anyone
else
who's
in
the
office
and
just
say
hey.
This
is
not
a
political
thing.
We
want
Community
input
on
this.
Can
you
please
help
us
boost
this?
F
That
may
work.
I
know
that
doesn't
I
know,
mayor
Juan
Melendez
in
the
town
also
sometimes
will
post
stuff
and
it
gets
relegated
to
thread
and
he's
trying
to
inform
people.
So
it's
a
little
bit
frustrating
for
for
that,
because
this
is
really
not
a
political
thing.
It's
City
thing
so,
but
it
might
help
to
have
someone
who
is
an
employee
or
you
know
non-elected
person
to
reach
out
to
them.
F
A
F
F
That's
right,
that's
what
I
mean
I
think
that
would
be
the
effect
instead
of
trying
to
post
it
and
then
having
them,
move
it
I
think.
If
we
reach
out
first
it
might
be
more
effective.
Okay,
but
hopefully
maybe
we
can
get
more
responses
that
way
and
I
think
it's
all.
It
is
I
think
this
is
a
good
example
of
the
the
fact
that
it
is
hard
to
get
even
with
going
out
and
talking
to
people.
It
is
hard
to
get
people
to
respond
to
when
we
want
people's
opinions.
F
H
F
Thinking
like
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
get
more
responses
from
those
people,
so
I
don't
know
if,
like
the
I
know,
Miranda
creative
is
helping
us
on
kind
of
all
fronts,
to
see.
If
maybe
there's
like
a
strategy
with
the
newsletter
to
like,
where
you
put
it
on
the
newsletter
to
get
more
click-throughs
on
the
survey
or
something
like
that,
I
don't
know
if.
E
C
A
Grad,
mostly
city
of
grinding,
because
when
you
go
into
one
of
the
things
we
looked
at
with
SurveyMonkey,
is
it's
hard
to
narrow
it
down
just
District
two
and
three,
and
it's
also
difficult
to
narrow
down
just
the
one
response.
So
that's
why?
If
we're
going
to
do
this
I'm
in
favor
of
putting
it
on
a
referendum
in
May,
because
you
know
you're
going
to
have
people,
you
know
the
people
that
you're
going
to
be
talking
to
or
that
are
going
to
be
addressing
our
voters
in
the
city
of
Iraq.
A
So
that
way
you
hit
your
target
audience.
We
are
going
to
have.
We
talked
about
this
today
about
having
the
the
public
hearing
just
before
the
Committee
of
the
whole.
But
you
know,
public
hearings
are
here
in
the
city
are
hit
and
miss.
You
never
know
who's
going
to
come
out.
You
might
have
two
people
come
out.
You
might
have
40
people
come
out,
but
depends
and
we'll
see
where
that
goes.
Any
other
questions
for
Sierra,
councilor,
Piazza.
C
Thank
you
mayor
first
I
want
to
thank
you
for
all
the
work
and
thank
you
for
looking
into
the
survey
monkey
and
respond
to
that.
Obviously
you
got
word
about
that.
So
glad
to
hear
I
was
wondering.
I
listened
to
because
I
know
at
one
time
when
I
was
suggesting
something
via
internet
and
I.
Reflecting
off
of
what
Steve
had
said,
counselor
Sheffield
had
said
reference
to
Branford
I
mean
I
was
thinking
about
their
their
office
itself.
C
I
think
I
know
at
one
time
when
they
were
building
that
people
were
talking
about
what
was
going
to
be
used
for
reception
and
I
know
a
lot
of
the
students
that
live
in
Brantford
have
their
Chrome
Google
Chrome
laptops.
So
you
know
looking
at
that
to
be
available,
I
mean,
obviously,
if
they
haven't
access,
they
are
somehow
I'm,
not
sure
if
the
parents
are
paying
for
that,
the
Guardians
whatever.
But
you
know,
maybe
that
would
be
another
setting
So
Not
only.
C
Would
the
students
be
able
to
get
there,
the
the
adults
would
able
to
get
there.
Also,
if
that's
just
reflection
off
that,
but
I
was
wondering
also
too
so,
not
to
I
know:
money
is
always
involved,
but
when
we're
talking
about
getting
connected
onto
the
site,
is
it
possible
so
I
know
not?
Everybody
comes
off
the
bridges
in
the
city
of
Groton,
but
I
mean
there
are
people
who
live
in
the
city
of
Groton
do
come
off?
C
The
bridge
I
was
wondering
you
know
like
the
little
wire
stick
signs
and
that,
and
maybe
just
strategic
places
like
up
in
housing
like
at
the
the
Navy
Lodge
people
coming
in
we've.
Had
a
lot
of
new
students
come
in
the
Navy
Lodge
CDC
for
daycare
I
drive
through
there
and
a
lot
of
parents
are
coming
in
and
out
of
there
and
people.
C
In
those
those
you
know
the
signs
so
that
when
they
pass
through
into
the
entrance,
they
actually
could
to
reach
out
to
them
to
look
at
the
site.
You
know
if
they're,
not
on
their
phones
or
if
they're,
not
on
the
Internet
or
so.
If
it's
because
I
mean
it
was
said
to
me
that
not
everybody
has
internet
access.
C
So
I
was
just
looking
at
that
edge
to
see
you
know
if
they're
not
or
just
to
click.
You
know
just
to
see
if
they
are
aware
and
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
far
out,
but
do
we
have
a
list
of
people
in
the
city
of
Groton
that
they
can
register
their
emails
to
say
yes,
I
would
love
to
receive
this
information
and
that
you
could
just
put
it
out
because
I
know
some
of
the
things
that
I
have
received.
C
H
C
What
you
have
here
just
sign
this
yeah,
okay,
just
yeah
strategically
play
so
people
say:
oh,
you
know,
because
I
was
really
surprised
when
I
was
talking
about
when
the
person
posted
about
the
donation
of
clothes,
how
many
people
were
not
even
aware
where
it's
at
and
that
those
Services
were
available
and
I
thought
wow?
You
know
how
do
we
reach
out
to
that
so
I'm
thinking
the
same
thing
here
to
reach
out?
C
If
it's,
if
not
a
lot
of
people
have
internet
access,
when
it
was
talked
about
the
Survey
Monkey,
then
how
do
we
address
it
to
those
people?
And
even
so
it
would
still
touch
those
people
who
do
have
internet
access.
You
know
putting
signs
such
as
you
know
when
somebody's
displaying
their
company
those
little
wire
signs.
H
C
It
down
the
ground,
you
know
for
a
limited
time.
We
could
put
them
up
strategically,
especially
you
know,
I'm
thinking
the
military
people
because
they
reach
out
quite
a
bit
I
think
like
a
next
door,
app
I
see
a
lot
of
them.
Reach
Out
And
ask
what's
here:
what
do
I
do
for
that?
How
do
I
do
this?
What's
the
best
place
for
that?
Okay,.

This
is,
this
was
all
discussed
during
the
committee
of
the
whole
okay,
when
Sue
and
I
were
working
on
this
Friday,
we
want
to
keep
it
simple.
We
went
back
and
we
poured
a
resolution
to
mimic,
but
we
didn't
pull
the
right
resolution
and
Ryan
pulled
the
correct
resolution
today
to
mimic
and
that's
why
we
have
this
information
here.
A
This
is
there's
nothing.
That's
new
in
here
that
wasn't
discussed
during
the
committee
of
the
hole.
Okay,
there's,
no
there's
no
whitewashing
of
anything,
there's
no
smoke
and
mirrors.
It
is
if
you
look
at
the
bottom
line,
and
it
therefore
be
it
resolved
it's
pretty
much.
The
same
thing
it's
going
to
with
agreement
for
somebody
for
the
amount
of
something
that
somebody
in
that
something
has
now
been
clarified.
Clarified
in
this
substitute
motion
is
that
address
your
question.
C
F
Oh
that's
soup,
okay,
but
we
can
make
sure
that
because
this
has
come
up
before
and
it
makes
it
less
confusing
if
we
can
see
the
old
resolution,
I
believe
this
is
the
resolution
that
we
had
approved
because
we
did
approve
the
sale.
But
the
contract
didn't
go
through
correct.
So
we
can't
approve
the
sale
of
the
house
without
rescinding
our
prior
approval
of
the
sale.
Is
that
correct?
That's
correct,
okay,
so.
B
A
A
F
A
F
A
You
can
use
that
if
he's
been
here
longer
than
Sue,
so
when
I
asked
Sue
to
go
back
and
pull
the
previous
information
see
went
back
as
far
as
she
as
she
needed
to
Ryan
went
back
as
far
as
he
knew
Ron
had
the
breath
and
depth
of
knowledge
that
Sue
didn't
have
and
that's
why
he
added
these.
The
description,
physical
description
of
the
of
the
property.
A
A
A
A
C
A
A
A
This
goes
back
to
the
second
RFP
during
the
second
RFP
to
sell
mother
Bailey.
We
combined
100.
No,
we
did
not
come
by.
We
offered
108
and
zero
broad
as
a
package
deal.
So
that's
what
this
was
so
for
the
new
resolution.
It
is
just
for
108
thing.
Street.
The
mother
Bailey
house
here
abroad
was
not
part
of
that.
G
A
C
C
C
A
I
So
the
the
first
resolution
that
came
in
our
packet
was
a
placeholder
because
Ronnie
Haas,
who
writes
these
things,
wasn't
available.
So
you
made
your
best
guess
and
kind
of
left
it
as
a
placeholder
when
Ron
came
back,
he
filled
in
the
blanks
used
the
template
from
a
previous,
similar
resolution
so
that
you
were
consistent
with
how
you
normally
were
things
and
provided
us
with
this
tonight.
With
the
details
that
we
discussed
last
week,
that.
A
A
A
C
C
I
understand
that
what
I'm
saying
is
I'm
voting
on
something
that
I
just
had
questions
on
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear
because
the
Verge
here,
even
though
we're
rescinding
it
I,
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
not
saying
anybody's
smoke
screen
this
or
any
weight
shape
or
form
I
just
want
to
make
sure
because
I'm
voting,
that's
all
this
I
want
to
clarify.
So
that's
why
I'm
asking
this
question.
A
I
R-22-10-116,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
mayor
and
Consul
rescind
resolution
r-21-6-91
and
authorize
the
contract
in
sale
of
0.15
acres
of
land
and
structure.
108
Thames
Street
Groton
Connecticut
in
as
is
conditioned
to
fttb
LLC
142
Benham,
Road,
Groton
Connecticut
for
the
purchase
price
of
twenty
thousand
dollars
and
no
sense,
and
that
mayor
Keith
Hendrick
would
be
authorized
to
execute
a
said
contract
isomo.
Second,
we
have.
F
I
just
want
to
comment
that
it's
been
a
long
road
to
get
here.
Hopefully,
I
know
that
we
have
reduced
restrictions
at
every
step
and
I'm
very
happy
that
the
hopefully
end
result
is
going
to
be
a
city
resident
who
we
see
often
volunteering.
He
and
his
wife
volunteer
a
lot
of
time
to
the
community.
They
really
care
about
this
community,
and
so
it
makes
me
happy
if
we
can
have
a
win-win
situation
with
this
particular
building
and.
A
Any
other
comments,
I'm
very
happy
that
the
Frank
is
up
for
this
and
if
you
as
a
council,
decide
to
move
this
forward.
I
think
this
is
a
very
positive
thing
for
our
city
and
so
I
any
other
questions
or
comments
getting
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
opposed
extension
motion
carries
take
a
motion
to
adjourn.
