A
A
A
A
Now,
for
those
of
you
that
have
been
on
on
the
city
on
the
council
for
a
while
you'll
notice
that
back
in
2009,
we
approve
the
letter
of
invitation
to
the
sister
city
for
haifa,
israel
and
also
for
kingston
jamaica,
and
they
came
here
and
visited
and
those
kinds
of
things.
So
this
is
a
continuation
of
that
and
george
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
A
C
The
jamaican
delegations
are
coming
down
to
new
york
on
the
first
week
of
august,
it's
their
59th
anniversary
on
that
week.
So
it's
a
big
celebration.
So
it's
the
first
time
any
cabinet
level,
minister,
is
leaving
the
country
and
he's
coming
to
new
york,
which
has
a
very
large
diaspora
of
jamaicans.
C
The
second
largest
diaspora
is
in
connecticut,
coincidentally,
so
they
would
like
to
visit
groton
near
london
and
exchange
friendship,
courtship
and
just
to
say,
hi
again,
and
let's
start
this
conversation.
So
basically,
that's
that's
what
we
are
trying
to
do.
We
are
not
looking
to
go
into
the
nitty-gritty.
This
is
just
a
courtesy
visit.
A
A
D
C
So
what
I
advised
them
to
the
consul
general
who
was
reaching
out
to
me
in
dialogue?
Actually
she
was
trying
to
reach
me
a
little
while
ago
as
well.
What
they're
doing
at
this
juncture
is
just
they
want
to
just
come
down
and
shake
hands,
just
have
a
warm
hands
to
hold
because
it's
been
a
year
of
being
away
and
they
had
a
wonderful
time
visiting
us,
especially
mayor
keith
gave
them
a
phenomenal
tour
of
the
place
and
they
were
extraordinarily
touched.
C
They
feel
far
more
comfortable
coming
to
southeastern
connecticut
than
even
visiting
hartford,
so
they
want
to
just
reciprocate
that
initial
visit
and
come
by
again
and
also
in
this
particular
instance.
The
mayor
of
kingston
is
also
coming.
So
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
the
mayor.
Kingston
is
almost
like
the
mayor
of
new
york
city.
It's
that
kind
of.
C
C
So
I
so
they're
coming
here
for
for
a
couple
of
hours,
and
I
assume
they
just
want
to
meet
and
greet
with
all
of
you
and
and
likewise
with
the
town
of
groton
and
the
city
of
new
london.
But
the
long-term
goal
that
what
we're
looking
to
establish
would
be
a
sort
of
a
formalized
agreement
for
culture,
education,
exchanges
and
all
those
kind
of
things
which
would
be
tackled
one
at
a
time
seeing
where
the
value
preposition
is
in
terms
of
cultural
exchange
or
food
exchange
or
educational
exchange
or
technology
exchange.
C
Our
for
those
who
weren't
here
at
the
earlier
back
in
2019,
our
early
objective,
was
to
create
southeastern
connecticut,
as
the
node
for
jamaica,
jamaica
is,
has
grown
out
to
be
the
fourth
largest
entree
or
shipping
hub
in
the
world.
It
is
the
largest
in
the
western
hemisphere,
and
with
that
they
are
looking
for
landing
pads
for
all
the
shipments
that
are
coming
from
asia.
C
So
florida
would
be
the
natural
choice.
The
other
option
would
be
to
find
some
level
of
drop
shipping
in
eastern
connecticut
and,
if
possible,
to
drop
further
up
in
new
york,
but
the
problem
with
new
york
and
part
of
new
york
and
new
jersey.
It's
really
busting
of
the
heems,
so
they're
looking
to
establish
this.
So
the
value
proposition
for
connecticut.
C
We
are
in
certain
ways
in
shape
in
the
last
four
years,
becoming
a
logistics
hub
for
walmart,
for
amazon,
of
course,
and
primarily
a
lot
of
the
goods
that
are
going
to
be
shipped
through.
The
jamaican
logistics
hub
would
be
for
those
entities
which
will
then
make
connecticut
even
more
of
a
transportation
and
shipping
hub.
If
you
will.
D
C
B
C
C
Okay,
so
that's
where
so
the
idea
would
be
if
they
can
see
and
also,
as
you
probably
know,
maya
pacero
is
is
of
city
of
new
london
is
also
exploring
the
value
proposition
of
creating
a
new
london
tax-free
zone
which
extends
to
the
entire
thames
river.
To
encapsulate
all
of
that
as
a
tax-free
heaven.
E
I
mean,
I
think
my
question
is
probably
premature.
I
was
just
thinking
with
you
know.
I
feel
like
recently,
there's
been
a
lot
of
residents.
Who've
wanted
to
get
more
involved
in
what
we're
doing
in
the
city,
so
I
was
thinking.
Are
we
going
to
maybe
sometime
in
the
future,
coordinate
some
kind
of
event,
especially
because
I
personally
know
a
few
people
who
are
of
jamaican
heritage?
Who
would
be
interested
in
this
idea,
and
maybe
interacting?
A
A
Absolutely
we
could
do
that.
I
mean,
for
example,
on
the
29th
of
this
of
this
week,
we're
going
to
be
hoisting
the
peruvian
flag,
so
you
know
we're.
We
are
reaching
out
to
the
different
cultures
that
are
out
there
and
embracing
them
here
in
the
city.
So
this
is
just
another
one:
did
you
counselor,
piazza
and
then
I'll
go
to
council
norris.
F
I
just
want
to
reflect
off
of
deputy
mayor
depot
that
when
you
were
talking
about
a
festival,
so
we
did
a
ministry
in
cabo
verde
in
2019
and
prior
to
that,
we
there
was
a
large
festival.
We
had
norwich
because
a
lot
of
cape
verdeans
there
within
massachusetts
and
they
all
came
down.
It
was
a
wonderful,
wonderful
event,
so
great
ideas
great
way
to
bring
culture
together,
other
people.
So
I
would
really
be
interested
in
doing
that.
A
G
G
C
So
sister
city
is
is
a
term
that
which
is
a
simpler
permutation.
The
proper
term
that's
used
internationally
is
called
twining
tweening,
depending
how
you
want
to
pronounce
it.
So,
basically,
it
creates
a
focused
relationship,
unlike
a
generic,
whoever
comes
and
knock
on
the
door
we'll
deal
with
you
and
vice
versa
kind
of
thing.
This
is
a
more
focused,
attentive
idea
on
what
we
could
do
together
as
a
partner
as
a
equal
collaborator.
May
it
be
for
education,
may
it
be.
C
We
have
a
diaspora
of
people
from
west
indies
that
would
be
looking
for
cultural
exchange
from
their
homeland
home
state,
or
they
are
looking
for
food
and
events
that
they
could
celebrate
over
here.
It
could
be
the
idea
of
our
companies
in
grant
new
london
or
greater
new
london
county
are
looking
for
export
market
or
trading
partnership
or
investment
opportunities
in
jamaica,
so
it
is
reciprocal
in
a
targeted
way
between
a
particular
region
and
a
particular
city
or
a
state
of
another
country.
A
A
A
It's
it's
more
ceremonial
really
than
anything
else,
and
that's
why
I
said
up
front:
there's
nothing
that
obligates
us
that's.
One
of
the
concerns
that
I
had
up
front
is
that,
although
in
the
future,
looking
at
educational
and
possible
trade
and
other
things
in
this
region,
because
we
have
industry
here,
we
have
technical
information,
we
can
share
back
and
forth,
but
we
have
to
be
careful
when
you
start
talking
about
sharing
technical
information
back
and
forth,
and
the
state
department
gets
involved
and
it
can
get
complicated,
but
that's
further
down
the
road
so.
D
A
A
Bring
department
heads
rotate
the
department
heads
through
so
that
you
see
them
more
often
than
just
during
the
budget
season
or,
if
they're
coming
to
ask
for
something.
So
this
way
they
can
tell
you
about
the
projects
they're
working
on
and
what
they,
what
they're
doing,
whether
what
they've
done
and
those
kind
of
things
in
today's
one,
the
first
one
for
today,
is
building
and
zoning
with
joe.
So
that's
under
6
55.,
so
joe
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
Okay,.
H
Well,
yeah
the
mayor's
talking
about
this
and
trying
to
think
of
what
to
present
and
everything.
So
I
decided
to
present
the
annual
report
for
the
fiscal
year
ending
june
30th
of
2021,
because
that's
one
of
the
charges
the
mayor
had
with
my
employment.
When
I
started
in
december,
was
you
know,
could
I
do
an
annual
report
and
all
that
and
I
rely
on
annual
reports
to
determine
the
activities
within
the
department
and
future
trends
so
with
that
so
I'll
go
through
my
annual
report.
H
If
you
have
any
questions,
please
ask
them
and
I'll
try
to
answer
them.
But,
as
I
mentioned,
you
know,
I
started
working
for
the
city
in
the
early
part
of
december
up
on
the
retirement
of
carlton
smith.
Who's
been
here
for
quite
a
number
of
years.
Prior
to
that
with
last
year,
everybody
knows
about
covid,
and
there
was
a
reorganization
of
within
the
city
of
groton
here
and
the
building
department
and
zoning
moved
to
the
former
credit
union
space
downstairs.
H
So
it
consolidated
some
of
the
staffing
because
staff
was
located
in
various
parts
of
this
building,
so
everybody's
together.
Now
so
with
that,
since
I
started
in
december,
some
of
the
things
that
we've
accomplished
is
worked
with
it,
we've
updated
the
web
page
with
more
current
information,
revised
many
of
the
application
forms
and
information
online
and
a
lot
of
those
forms
are
screen
fillable.
H
One
of
the
first
things
I
did
is:
I
came
to
the
council
to
get
approval
to
enter
into
agreement
for
a
permitting
software.
I
think
that
was
in
january
of
february
a
week
and
a
half
ago
we
started
implementing
that
right.
Now,
it's
just
within
our
department,
so
we
can
work
out
the
bugs
and
learn
the
system
before
we
go
out
public
with
that
information.
A
H
Week,
we're
going
to
be
rolling
out
another
module
to
other
departments,
because
that
allow
us
to
automatically
check
for
any
delinquent
taxes
and
notify
other
departments
automatically
as
applications
come
in
for
reviews
and
approvals,
such
as
grant
utilities.
Public
works,
the
tax
collector
in
the
town
side
and
any
other
departments
that
may
be
applicable,
such
as
planning
and
zoning,
and
sometimes
the
police
and
the
fire
marshal.
So
it
would
be
an
automatic
notification,
so
it'll
be
more
streamlined.
B
H
That
will
allow
us
to
retain
a
more
permanent
record,
because
some
of
these
documents
are
old
and
are
starting
to
fade,
and
so
it's
tough
to
read.
Someone
plus
it'll
be
easier
to
retrieve
those
documents
for
any
other
projects
or
any
of
the
clients
that
come
in.
That
may
want
to
see
records
of
their
structure
or
playing
on
any
future
renovations
or
additions.
A
One
of
the
things
that
we're
continuing
from
when
I
first
got
here
is
we
had
a
company
that
was
scanning
documents
and
they
come
to
find
out.
They
really
weren't
scanning
the
documents,
so
we
went
and
we
toured
a
place
called
scan
optics
and
that's
what
we're
doing
our
document
management
now.
So
we've
asked
each
of
the
departments
to
set
aside
certain
amount
of
money
every
year
so
that
we
can
identify
the
documents
that
we're
required
to
keep.
So
the
first
thing
we've
got
to
do
is
municipalities.
A
H
And
you
know,
as
far
as
that,
our
last
fiscal
year
we
were
approved
to
start
this
process.
We
didn't
expend
all
that
money
now
be
coming
back,
probably
another
month
or
two
to
request
additional
funds
with
from
our
budget
to
continue
on
with
the
scanning.
Once
we
get
through
some
of
the
archive
records
in
the
vault,
so
we
can
allocate.
We
want
to
scan
this
section
right.
It's
just
a
lengthy
process.
H
H
H
And
one
of
the
other
things
going
to
be
goals
for
this
fiscal
year
is
to
update
the
various
regulations
and
that
I'm
in
charge
with
the
inland
wetlands,
the
harbor
management
and
the
eastern
point
historic
district
regulations
next
month.
The
historic
district
regulations
are
on
the
agenda
to
start
discussion
on
that,
because
those
have
not
been
updated
since
1994
and
then
we'll
get
into
the
harbor
management
and
then
the
inland
wetlands,
following
that.
H
So
all
that
is
happening
plan
on
happening
this
year.
Next
one
would
be
the
updating
of
the
rental
housing
ordinance
because
that
is
based
on
a
I
don't
know,
remember
the
exact
date.
I
think
1996
property
maintenance
code.
So
there's
been
a
lot
of
changes
to
that
document
and
everything.
So
I
want
to
review
that
and
recommend
some
updates
and
corrections
on
that.
H
So
it's
not
going
to
reflect
exactly
of
what
is
recorded
with
the
finance
director,
because
that's
monies
that
we
receive.
Sometimes
we
can
issue
a
permit
within
a
day
or
two
after
receiving
an
application
other
times
it
may
take
two
three
four
months
depending
on
what
information
is
required
and
the
review
process.
D
H
That
will
help
make
this
more
understandable.
So,
as
you
can
see
the
past
two
fiscal
years,
we've
had
a
tremendous
amount
of
construction
activity.
Most
of
that
is
attributed
to
the
electric
bullet
south
yard
assembly
project,
which
is
contributing
to
over
500
million
dollars
worth
of
construction
going
on,
which
would
be
wrapping
up
in
the
spring
of
2023.
H
H
This
helps
me
guide
and
that
the
of
how
things
are
going
so
after
fiscal
year,
2023
the
construction
values
and
permit
fees
should
decline,
and
that's
because
of
the
south
yard
assembly
building
and
the
mayor-
and
I
have
been
in
discussions
on
that
on
a
regular
basis
as
to
how
that
impacts.
The
tax
base.
A
A
A
But
the
permit
fees
are
going
to
start
going
down.
So
if
the
permit
fees
start
going
down,
what
is
the
potential
impact
on
the
tax
base
and
one
of
the
things
that
we've
looked
at
is
so
you,
so
you
have
the
fees
going
down
here,
but
at
the
same
time,
you're
going
to
get
some
cos
and
22
and
23
and
we're
going
to
see
when's
the
co
for
600.
A
So
february
2023,
so
that
won't
be
on
the
ground
list
until
october
of
2023,
which
will
be
for
the
24
budget
and
because
it's
in
the
enterprise
zone,
it's
not
a
hundred
percent,
it's
20
for
five
years.
So
what
we're
looking
at
is
you're
looking
at
a
revenue
drop
and
then
you're
having
an
increase
in
revenue
from
the
cos
from
the
buildings,
600,
605,
604
and
all
the
other
support
buildings,
but
they're
going
to
go,
they're
gonna
start
coming
up
and
then,
but
you
got
that
drop
off.
A
A
D
A
Revenues
for
residential
so
that
it's
a
it's
it's
a
little
complicated,
there's
a
lot
of
different
factors
and
they're
moving,
but
these
are
the
kind
of
things
that
we're
looking
at
two
and
three
and
four
years
down
the
road
and
we're
making
decisions.
Now
where
I
am
and
bringing
them
to
you
that
we're
making
decisions
now
so
that
we
don't
get
in
that
deep
fee
and
then
have
to
raise
taxes
by
a
lot.
And
then
people
say
why
do
you
have
to
do
that
right?
So
that's
one!
A
H
H
H
I
can
tell
you
just
for
july
right
now
we
have
issued
over
70
permits.
We
have
over
40
in
review
and
we've
collected
over
60
000
in
permit
fees
just
for
this
month.
So
far,
so
it's
a
very
active
market
going
on
on
the
next
page,
is
just
a
further
breakdown
of
the
permits
issued
by
the
various
trades,
whether
it's
a
building
permit
electrical
permit.
Plumbing
mechanical
fire
protection
would
be.
H
I
started
tracking
fire
protection,
which
would
be
sprinkler
systems
within
structures
which
is
mainly
electric
boat
and
pfizers,
and
some
other
facilities,
because
those
are
highly
specialized.
So
I
started
tracking.
Those
next
page
is
a
is
for
the
residential
construction
for
fiscal
year.
2021
we've
issued
six
new
single-family
permits
year
before
that
there
were
seven
permits
issued
so
there's
quite
a
few
new
house
construction
permits
issued
and
as
of
today,
we
have
six
or
seven
houses
that
are
under
construction
and
we
are
anticipating
the
park
place.

Thank
you.
This
was
good.
It
was
on
my
level
answered
all
my
questions,
easy
to
understand.
I'm
just
trying
to
make
it
that
way.
It
was
very
good.
I
appreciate
it
first,
let
me
thank
you
and
the
rest
of
your
staff,
because
you
didn't
miss
a
beat
doing
covid,
it's
pretty
remarkable
how
much
work
they
got
done.
B
G
H
Possible,
that's
something
that
you
know
I
would
have
to
gauge
as
time
goes
on.
You
know,
because
if
this
trend
of
people
wanting
to
add
on
and
doing
extensive
renovations
on
their
homes,
you
know
it
could
be
a
very
good
indicator,
but
it's
one
of
those
things
we
it
could
change
on
a
month-to-month
basis.
Why
not.
G
A
On
miami-dade,
county
and
kalamazoo
michigan
are
also
kingston
sister
cities.
So
you
you
would
ask
that
you
would
ask
it
in
the
context
of
connecticut,
but
in
a
broader
context
there
are
others.
So
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
okay,
so
where
are
we
so?
The
next
we'll
continue
on
655
parliament,
presentations
to
police
department
chief
jenkins,
so
we'll
get
chief
come
up
and
talk
about
the
police
department
in
general
and
then
after
that,
we'll
go
into
758,
which
is
the
locker
rooms,
and
then
I
have
somebody
else.
I
want
to
add
on.
I
Okay,
well,
the
city
of
grant
police
department,
as
we
all
know,
is
a
20
29
man
department.
We
have
nine
civilians
at
this
point.
We
are
down
two
officers
we're
trying
to
we're
in
the
process
right
now
of
hiring
two
more
we're
looking
to
hire
a
third
shortly
and
we
have
dispatching
going
on.
We
have
hiring
for
that
as
well,
because
we're
losing
one
of
our
dispatchers
in
retirement.
Mr
rondo
is
happily
retiring
after
several
years.
I
Some
of
the
things
that
we've
been
going
going
on
with
or
ongoing
with,
is
training
constantly
updating
our
training,
especially
with
the
new
rules
that
are
coming
out
of
the
house
bill.
6004
we're
looking
at
updating
all
our
policies
as
well.
We
have
to
go
through
all
our
policies.
As
the
mayor
says
earlier,
we
have
to
go
through
them
and
not
only
do
we
have
to
update
them
due
to
policy
changes,
but
the
times
are
changing
and
the
environment
is
changing,
so
we
got
to
make
sure
everything
is
up
and
running.
I
Let's
see
blight
is
a
major
concern
in
the
city.
Right
now
we've
been
fighting
blight
for
several
several
years.
Just
a
comparison
for
the
last
two
months,
our
blight
officer
has
gone
on
20
blight
cases
in
the
last
two
months
since
june
1st,
so
he's
actively
searching
on
that
and
try
to
settle
that.
Were
you
saying
something
there
well.
A
I
was
going
to
say
so
so
for
the
buy
cases
there
are
sometimes
people
reach
out
to
you.
Sometimes
people
reach
out
to
us
to
the
mayor's
office.
Sometimes
they
reach
out
to
the
police
or
to
glenn
directly,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
little.
We
have
a
lot
of
blight.
Things
are
going
on
all
the
time,
so
we're
always
on
it.
A
Now
we
don't
one
of
the
things
that
that
we
don't
do,
and
I
don't
think
I'm
gonna
do
is
if
we
have
a
blight
case,
I'm
not
gonna,
bring
it
to
you
and
say:
okay
at
24,
so
and
so
avenue
we're
going
after
that
blight
because
we're
not
gonna
I'm.
I
am
not
going
to
shame
people
or
embarrass
people
by
doing
that.
A
What
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
follow
our
our
blight
ordinance,
we're
going
to
work
with
the
with
the
residents
to
address
the
blight
and
then
we're
going
to
correct
the
blight
issues
and
then
we're
going
to
move
forward.
So
unless
there's
something
that
is
extremely
bad,
then
we'll
let
you
know,
and
the
other
thing
that
we're
not
going
to
do
is
when
there
are
people
that
sometimes
get
on
facebook
and
want
to
bring
up
stuff
and
want
to
address
these
issues
on
facebook.
A
A
H
Since
we're
talking
about
blight
walter,
our
my
assistant,
billy
official,
works
very
closely
with
glenn,
so
they
collaborate
two
or
three
times
a
week,
usually
about
potential
issues
and
all
that
and
they
work
out
as
to
who's
going
to
take
the
lead
on
some
of
these
issues.
So
it's
a
hand-in-hand.
You
know
working
relationship
that
we
have
so.
I
A
They're,
not
all
major
issues
right
well,
there
was
a
blight
issue
that
was
brought
to
the
council.
In
the
last
couple
weeks.
We've
sent
out
a
couple
letters
we
have
not
rece.
I
we
have
not
received
action,
so
we're
going
to
take
the
next
step,
we're
determining
what
that
next
step
is,
but
it's
going
to
be
more
forceful
and
and
so
in
the
next
couple
weeks
you
should
see
see
a
change
down
on
thame
street
on
what's
going
on,
councillor
mccabe.
H
J
A
J
I
I
J
A
And
and
if
you
go,
if
you
look
in
the
ordinance
there's
some
things
that
are
outside
of
our
jurisdiction,
for
example,
when
you
get
into
rats
and
mosquitoes
and
those
kinds
of
things,
then
we
have
to
reach
out
to
ledge
light
health
district
and
now
becomes
a
health
district
issue
and
we
are
working.
They
are
working
with
us
or
we
are
working
with
them
in
partnership.
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
a
case
now
where
we're
working
very
closely
with
social
services,
because
there's
some
other
issues
associated
with
it.
Some
of
it
may
be.
A
Counseling,
some
of
it
may
be
financial
counseling.
I
mean
this
is
we're
just
not
it's
not
just
a
punitive
right
harm.
We
are.
We
are
trying
to
work
with
people
to
help
them
and
you're
right.
There
are
some
we've
had
some
cases
where
we've
had
people
on
fixed
income,
where
we've
had
to
get
volunteers
with
their
permission
to
come
in
and
either
clean
up
or
or
to
mow
the
lawn
and
those
kind
of
things,
and
we
do
work
to
do
that
when
we
can
good.
We
do
try
to
go
for
positive
outcomes.
I
I
Another
issue
we're
looking
at
is
speeding
in
the
city
of
groton
they're,
speeding,
complaints
throughout
the
city
now
there's
different
avenues
that
we
can
go
to
to
try
and
combat
this.
It
could
be
from
road
constriction,
design,
road
designs
itself
to
we
have
a
radar
trailer
that
we
set
out
that
we
put
on
three
different
streets.
I
I
You
know
infraction
so
to
say
so:
that's
an
effort
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
combat
and
any
and
all
citizens
that
wish
to
advise
us
of
issues
that
they
have
be.
It
stop
signs
or
seat
belts
or
cell
phones
or
speeding,
feel
free
to
email
me
on
the
city
website
and
we'll
address
them
as
they
come
in.
A
I
Another
thing
that
we're
working
on
right
now
presently
is
our
radio
system.
We
are
now,
as
we
all
know,
up
on
the
state
radio
system,
which
helps
interoperability
between
local
police
departments
that
are
on
the
state
system.
So
we
can
talk
to
groton
town
stonington,
norwich
ledger.
There
are
a
few
bugs
that
we're
working
out
if
you
take
a
walk
around
the
inside
of
the
municipal
building,
you'll
see
a
very
long
black
cable
going
through
the
hallways.
I
That
is
an
antenna,
so
our
radio
systems
will
work
inside
down
into
building
and
zoning
down
in
the
basement,
so
they
will
work
anywhere
and
everywhere.
If
something
happens
internally
in
the
building,
that's
an
upgrade
that
we're
doing
right
now.
Another
upgrade
that
we're
looking
to
do
is
cameras
street
cameras
on
intersections
out
on
cbs
out
on
bridge
street,
any
major
intersection
we're
looking
at
putting
cameras
up
that
will
be
monitored
by
our
dispatch
center.
I
I
I
Then
again,
the
second
time
you
get
a
ticket
or
you
can
do
the
cameras
that
are
in
the
major
cities
where
actually
take
pictures
and
then
issue
the
tickets
themselves.
I
don't
think
we're
going
to
go
that
way.
I
think
it's
more
cost
effective
and
more
neighborhoodly
friendly
or
in
a
friendlier
town
that
we
take
the
pictures.
We
issue
the
warnings
before
we
go,
give
them
tickets
they
let
them
let
them
learn
and
see.
I
We
have
to
do
it
a
certain
way.
We
have
to
keep
certain
records.
We
have
to
maintain
that
only
individuals
that
are
able
to
see
that
information
sees
it.
So
the
fbi
comes
in
and
audits
us
to
make
sure
we're
in
compliance.
So
that's
coming
up.
Captain
lato
is
working
on
that,
along
with
sue
blanchat
from
it,
so
we're
all
in
compliance
there.
I
Some
of
the
things
we
didn't
get
to
do
last
year
due
to
covid
was
all
the
public
events
that
we
used
to
have
we
used
to
have
the
obviously
the
fireworks
haven't
been
happening.
We
haven't
been
able
to
do
any
picnics
down
at
brantford
manor
to
outreach
people
and
kids.
I
want
to
do
that
in
the
future.
Now
that
covet
is
hopefully
winding
down
or
people
are
getting
vaccinated.
I
I
Another
thing
that
we're
looking
to
implement
from
the
mayor
and
the
city
council's
surveys
to
hand
out
to
citizens
for
not
only
just
how
is
the
city
doing
as
a
whole
and
do
you
know
everything
that
the
city
is
able
to
do,
but
also
the
police
department
by
itself,
so
we'll
have
surveys
to
go
out
to
anybody
and
everybody
they'll
be
online
as
well.
So
if
you
had
an
interaction
with
us,
you
can
tell
us
if
it
was
good
bad.
I
I
They
may
not
know
these
things,
so
residents
will
be
able
to
look
at
the
survey,
fill
it
out
and
provide
us
with
intelligence
that
we
can
use
to
help
train
our
officers
as
they
come
in
so
everybody's
trainable.
Another
thing
that
we
like
to
get
done
is
the
another
touch
of
truck.
We
have
not
been
able
to
do
that
in
person.
I
We
need
to
know
about
or
would
help
us
not
that
we
need
to
know
about
them,
but
that
would
help
us
interact
with
that
individual
secrets
to
help
them
remain
calm,
how
to
help
them
find
them
if
they're
lost
find
out
where
they
live.
If
they
want
to
give
us
that
information,
they
will
provide
it
to
us,
and
then
we
goes
into
our
system.
So
if
we
run
an
individual
because
he
hasn't
returned
home
or
we
don't
know
where
he
is
or
she
we
can
put
it
in
our
system
and
it'll
populate.
I
I
What
I
like
to
do
is
obviously
I
said
about
the
events.
Parking
is
an
issue,
obviously
with
eb
and
fire.
Well,
not
fires
are
so
to
say,
but
eb
and
other
citizens
that
come
into
the
city,
because
we
have
ten
thousand
permanent
residents,
but
then
we
have
all
the
workers
coming
in
and
out
of
the
city
parking
is
a
is
an
issue.
What
I
would
like
to
do
is
look
forward
to
getting
a
parking
enforcement
officer,
be
it
a
part-time
individual
that
can
go
out
and
take
care
of
parking
tickets.
I
I
That's
one
of
the
big
things
another
thing
with
the
house
bill:
6004:
we
have
to
go
through
and
implement
a
new
policy
on
officers
going
through
mandated
drug
testing
to
include
steroids
and
non-prescription
drugs
and
mental
health
surveys.
So,
each
year,
every
three
years,
sorry,
every
three
years
each
officer
has
to
get
recertified
not
only
for
training
but
as
a
requirement
to
be
an
officer.
You
have
to
take
the
drug
testing
and
go
through
a
mental
health
assessment.
So
we
need
to
get
that
policy
in
place.
I
I
A
When
this
first
came
out,
we
talked
about,
I
got
the
department
heads
in
the
room
we
talked
about
whether
or
not
I
was
going
to
mandate,
that
municipal
employees
all
have
vaccines
and
we
went
back
and
forth
and
the
conclusion
that
I
came
to
was,
I
could
still
reach
herd
immunity
and
not
require
everybody
to
have
vaccines.
There
are
some
employees
that
don't
want
to
have
vaccines
for
whatever
reason
and
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
the
different
reasons
and
argue
back
and
forth
about
that.
It
is
not
mandatory.
A
Just
at
this
point,
so
there,
therefore,
we
have
not
made
them.
We
have
not
made
it
mandatory
with
the
new
variant
coming
out.
If
I
need
to,
I
will
evaluate
whether
or
not
I
will
mandate
vaccines
for
everybody
or
right
now,
if
you're,
not
if
you're,
not
vaccine
vaccinated,
then
you're
supposed
to
wear
a
mess,
and
we
do
have
people
that
wear
their
mask.
B
D
A
D
I'm
thinking
being
proactive
and
I've
already
sent
you
know,
email
prior
to
this
possibility
of
having
a
mask
mandate
for
government
employees
here
for
the
city
to
protect
all
concerned.
Those
who
are
unvaccinated
that
we
don't
know
about
that
may
enter
this
building
and
be
in
contact
with
somebody
else
whose
works
here
that
is
not
vaccinated
and
you
leave
that
possibility
of
of
contamination
as
well.
You
know.
F
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
when
you're
talking
about
speeding,
so
forgive
my
lack
of
knowledge
in
some
way.
I
don't
have
anything
against
scooters
at
all,
but
as
a
school
bus
driver,
that's
been
a
big
issue
for
us
as
far
as
going
through
our
reds
going
around
the
back
so
forth
and
so
on,
and
I'm
not
saying
everybody
does
it.
There's.
B
F
I
Unless
I'm,
unless
I'm
wrong,
you
need
a
driver's
license
to
have
a
scooter,
you
cannot
operate
a
scooter
unless
you
have
a
driver's
license,
you
have
to
be
16
and
have
a
driver's
license.
So
all
your
rules
and
laws
will
be
by
the
dmv.
When
you
get
your
license,
you
have
to
go
by
every
street
law
that
you
would
go
if
you
were
in
a
car
or
a
motorcycle
anything
over
50
cc's.
I
E
J
J
J
I
A
We
are
looking
to
have
it
at
the
table
at
city
day,
okay
and
have
it
so
people
can
fill
it
out
there.
We're
eventually
going
to
put
it
online
so
that
it
can
be
electronic
we're
looking
to
get
as
much
information
as
we
possibly
can
out
there.
I
don't,
I
don't
think
we
talked
about
doing
a
survey
monkey,
but
we
could
always
do
that
too.
But
then
the
question
is:
how
do
you
get
it
out,
who's
who's,
responding
to
it
and
right?
You
know
the
accuracy
of
the
results
that
you
get
those
kind
of
things.
G
I
I
They
also
do
the
civilian
police
academy,
which
I
hopefully
will
be
getting
going
again.
That
was
a
good
event.
Another
thing
that
we're
participating
in
is
the
children
first
groton
and
neighbors
for
neighbors
coveted
grant
has
given
us
gift
cards
for
families
that
may
have
financial
needs
that
we
run
into
so
we
can
give
them
gift
cards
for
50
each.
I
I
believe
once
a
week
or
once
every
two
weeks
to
drive
around
and
visit
individuals
that
we
have
run
into
that
may
need
some
kind
of
assistance
or
we
feel
that
would
benefit
from
speaking
with
somebody.
Maybe
they
do
not
know
what
access
they
have
to
health
care
or
mental
health
care,
so
they
come
out
with
us
as
well.
G
A
A
Why
I
say
yes
and
no
so
they
have
the
if
you
go
down
rainville
road,
there's
a
lot.
So
if
you
get
there
early
enough
in
a
reasonable
hour,
you
can
get
some
parking
the
airline,
but
it
fills
up
fairly
quickly
and
then
there's
the
emlot,
which
is
at
the
bottom
of
rainville,
and
you
take
a
left
on
and
it's
just
before.
You
get
the
sneakers
and
that
lot
is
not
very
well
utilized.
A
Now.
Part
of
that
is
because
it's
a
fairly
long
walk
to
electric
boat.
Now
part
of
the
issue
is
people
were
walking
up
rainville
and
there's
no
sidewalk
there
and
I'm
working
with
the
state
to
try
to
get
them
to
put
a
sidewalk.
But
the
state
doesn't
want
to
put
a
sidewalk,
so
I'm
debating
on
whether
or
not
I'm
going
to
ask
to
ask
the
town
and
you
guys
to
put
a
sidewalk
in
and
then
get
permission
from
the
state
to
do
it
and
so
that
it's
safer.
A
Because
if
you
look
at
some
of
the
areas
there
triton
nicholas
chapman,
those
are
resident
or
residential
parking,
so
you
can't
park
there
now.
What
happens
is
when
people
leave
they
end
up
zipping
through
there.
So
that's
part
of
my
speed
issue
that
we're
going
to
address,
but
there's
a
parking
management
study
and
therefore
parking
management
plan
that
kimway
horn
is
a
contractor.
A
That's
actually
looking
at
it
as
part
of
a
jayla
study,
joint
land
use,
study
in
affiliation
with
the
southeastern
connecticut
council
of
governments
and
working
with
electric
boat
and
with
us
and
others
to
try
to
determine
where
to
put
where
to
park
now.
Part
of
the
solution
is,
is
the
part
of
the
solution
needs
to
be
a
raised
platform,
meaning
a
parking
garage,
the
one
that
we
have
down?
There
is
not
in
great
shape,
and
it's
not
big
enough,
so
you
need
another
parking
garage.
A
A
A
So
now
you
know
eb's
trying
to
figure
this
out,
but
eb
needs
to
get
some
skin
in
the
game
on
this
and
they
need
to
be
involved
because,
once
I
start
ticking
with
my
eye,
but
once
we
start
ticketing
people
because
they're
not
parking
correctly,
eventually
they're
going
to
be
upset
and
the
employees
are
are
going
to
complain
to
the
unions.
The
unions
are
going
to
take
it
up
to
management
and
now
management's
going
to
have
an
issue
and
they
need
to
address
it.
So
what
I'm
asking
them
to
do?
I
Yeah
mental
health
services
services,
a
southeastern
mental
health
authority
sends
out
an
officer,
an
individual,
a
counselor
here
and
he'll
hooks
up
with
one
of
our
officers,
and
we
go
out
and
visit
individuals
that
we
have
dealt
with,
that
we
have
deemed
or
believed
to
be
able
to
have
get
help
from
them
right
and
he
reaches
out
or
she
reaches
out
and
asks
hey.
You
know
we
do
this.
You
know
you
can
go
here
and
get
this
and
try
to
get
them
to
connect
right
with
that.
I
I
I
I
Town
has
the
main
dispatch:
okay,
four,
nine
one
one
got
it:
we
have
our
own
dispatch,
which
is
man
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week,
365
days
a
year.
So
when
somebody
comes
into
our
lobby,
there's
somebody
there
to
talk
to
right
when
they
call
us
there's
somebody
there.
It's
not
an
automated.
You
know.
If
you
need
this
call
the
dial
push
9673.
I
G
A
I
Okay,
thank
you,
sir,
for
those
that
do
not
know
that
weren't
on
the
council
earlier,
I
did
a
complete
powerpoint
presentation
for
our
lockers,
both
the
men
and
women's
and
the
sergeants
locker
rooms,
the
issue
with
the
locker
rooms
and
the
men's.
They
were
25
years
old,
25
years
plus
old
and
as
anybody
may
imagine,
that
the
metal
and
everything
in
the
latches
to
tend
to
deteriorate
and
malfunction,
so
probably
half
of
them
do
not
work.
They
do
not
shut
correctly.
I
So
we
were
looking
to
get
new
lockers
for
several
reasons,
one
they
don't
work
and
they're
too
small.
We're
not
able
to
hang
all
our
items
in
there
to
include
our
bulletproof
vests
and
our
uniforms.
The
female
locker
room
was
even
worse
because
it
was
almost
as
old
as
the
building.
I
believe-
and
you
couldn't
hang
anything
in
there.
It
would
not
hold
a
coat
hanger
you
would.
They
were
the
old,
gymnasium,
lock,
they're
they're,
for
lack
of
better
work,
the
gymnasium
lockers
that
you
only
had
little
hooks
on.
I
So
you
couldn't
hang
a
uniform
in
there,
so
the
female
officers
being
as
they
are
settled
the
issue
and
brought
in
their
own
lockers
from
outside,
so
they
were
able
to
scourge
some
larger
locker
room,
lockers
put
them
in
the
room
with
them,
which
is
not
a
good
work
environment
for
them.
So
we
were
looking
to
just
get
rid
of
all
the
old
ones,
remodel
the
whole
room
and
put
new
ones
in
so
we
were
able
to
go
through
the
tiffin
company.
I
We
had
some
budget,
we
had
some
refunded
money,
not
refunded
repurposed
bond
money,
and
we
have
all
the
lockers
that
would
be
installed.
We
would
remove
the
old
ones
and
installed
for
fifty
eight
thousand
eight
hundred
and
nine
dollars,
and
that
would
be
able
to
start
within
the
next
couple
of
weeks
to
a
month.
If
we're
able
to
do
that.
I
I
We
can
move
them
up
to
the
auditorium,
not
the
auditorium,
but
our
conference
room
up
here,
the
police
conference
room
which
we
could
lock
and
keep
them
up
there.
While
we
refurbished
everything
and
then
put
the
lockers
in
and
then
we
have
also
a
cage
downstairs
which
that
doesn't
provide
any
privacy
for
individuals
changing,
but
we
are
looking
into
that
as
well.
So
I
would
want
a
whole
new,
clean
thing
and
no,
I
already
have
rules
no
stickers
on
the
lockers.
These
are
new.
A
J
A
A
A
I
Yes,
sir
overview
of
that
again,
what
this
is
the
2022
nuclear
safety
emergency
program
budget,
which
we
have
requested
upgrades
to
our
dispatch
center.
This
is
how
we're
going
to
upgrade
our
dispatch
center,
so
we
are
going
to
upgrade
with
new
monitors.
Twenty
three
thousand
two
hundred
ninety
five
dollars
worth
of
upgrades
to
our
system.
I
That
would
include,
like,
I
said,
monitors
reorganization
of
the
tables
in
the
unit
itself.
So
it's
more
functioning!
We
do
have
a
millstone
computer
up
there
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
see
and
monitor.
In
case
we
are
able
to
sound
the
alarms
from
our
dispatch
center
right
now,
as
the
dispatcher
looks
for
the
alarms
and
the
system
is
way
over
here
in
the
back
left
corner.
A
A
Did
we
we
did
not
vote
to
suspend
the
rules,
so
we
need
to
vote
to
suspend
didn't
we
not
say
we
did
right.
Do
you
have
the
vote
motion
the
second
voting?
Second,
and
we
voted
right.
Okay,
that's
what
I
thought.
Okay,
all
right,
we're
good!
So
any
other
questions
on
this
emotions
on
the
floor
or
this
item,
deputy
meredith.
E
I
just
want
to
comment.
You
know
we're
always
looking
for
ways
to
fund
the
things
you
know
this
is
an
emergency,
a
program
for
emergency
management,
but
we
also
use
these
things
on
a
regular
basis,
so
we're
kind
of
multi-purpose
finding
ways
to
fund
without
raising
tax
taxes
on
the
residents,
and
I
know
that
we've
we
try.
Every
department
really
tries
to
do
that
and
I
just
want
to
say
we
appreciate
your
efforts
because
you
have
to
submit
for
this.
It's
not
just
doesn't
just
magically
come.
A
Any
other
questions
or
comments.
Okay,
did
I
ask
for
a
motion
to
move
it
so?
Okay?
So
I
need
a
motion
to
move
this
to
the
mayor
council
meeting
of
august,
2nd
2021
so
moved.
Second,
we
have
motion
ii
any
further
discussion
hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
say
hi
hi
oppose
ascension
motion
carries.
Thank
you
chief.
Thank
you.
We'll
see
you
we'll
see
you
in
a
few.
A
You
know
what
I'm
going
to
bring
leslie
leslie
korean
up.
She
is
our
planner
and
she
was
not
the
planner
that
that
submitted
us
that
got
this
started,
but
she
is
the
planner
that
this
landed
on
for
lack
of
a
better
term,
but
I
will
speak
to
most
of
this
so
last
week
the
connecticut
port
authority
finally
authorized
well
actually
bond
council
last
year
authorized
the
funding.
A
A
The
other
one
is
hundred
thirty
dollars
that
that
comes
with
the
the
rest
of
it
is
a
match
to
take
it
up
to
eight
hundred
fifteen
thousand
dollars
and
that
match
will
be
funded
by
the
city
and
that
will
come
out
of
the
undesignated
capital
which
we
have
about
1.1
million
dollars
in
there.
So
we
have
plenty
of
money
in
there
in
order
to
do
that.
A
A
A
The
city
has
been
approved
for
815
400
850
815
416,
with
a
city
match
of
166
thousand
83
dollars
and
20
cents
for
the
new
dock
and
75
thousand
dollars,
with
no
matching
funds
required
for
the
municipal
dock
study
to
make
things
depart,
ada
accessible
and
then
there's
the
application
that
we
submitted,
which
shows
pictures
and
some
renderings
of
what
we're
hoping.
This
will
look
like.
A
A
A
Well,
that's
a
very
good
question.
Normally
a
question
would
be
applicable,
but
it
is
in
this
particular
case.
So
for
those
of
you
that
are
not
aware,
typically,
what
happens
is
we
would
get
the
whole
649
thousand
dollars
of
649
000
333
up
front,
but
in
this
particular
case
they
are
reimbursement
grants.
A
A
A
G
A
I
know
because
before
I
went
and
asked
for
the
grant,
I
said:
how
are
we
going
to
do
it?
How
we're
going
to
operate
it
because
municipalities
a
lot
of
times
just
jump
right
in
and
if
they
get
a
grant?
Oh
it's
free
money
and
then
they
don't
think
about
downside
maintenance.
They
don't
think
about
how
you
can
operate
it.
So
I
don't
have
all
the
questions.
All
the
answers
to
the
questions
that
you're
going
to
want
to
answer,
but
right
now
what
I'm
looking
at
is.
A
We
are
looking
at
doing
a
private
public
partnership
with
someone
to
operate
and
maintain
the
dock
and
the
reason
I'm
looking
at
doing
that.
I
do
not
have
that
expertise
on
board
and
to
hire
that
expertise
for
a
seasonal
operation
doesn't
make
sense
to
me
for
full-time
full
benefits,
those
kind
of
things,
because
taxpayers
be
paying
forever
for
that
right.
So
you
know
we
don't
have
that
expertise.
It
takes
a
certain
skill
set.
A
So
there's
you
know
because
you
have
the
docs,
you
have
the
bumpers.
You
have
everything
associated
with
that.
We're
going
to
have
eight
26
foot
boat
slips
with
a
location
to
launch
kayaks
off
of
that's
going
to
be
handicap
accessible,
so
the
things
that
we
still
have
not
this
determined
is:
is
it
going
to
be
seasonal
or
is
it
going
to
be
year-round?
A
I
well,
we
don't
have
the
answer,
so
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
my
preferences,
so
is
it
going
to
be
seasonal?
Is
it
going
to
be
year
round?
Are
we
going
to
charge
for
the
slips?
Are
we
not
going
to
charge
for
the
slips
if
we
do,
how
do
you
charge
and
what's
it
based
on?
Is
there
going
to
be
a
turnaround
time?
Is
it
short
term
long
term?
Are
you
going
to
allow
overnight?
You
know,
there's
a
lot
of
questions.
A
Why
would
we
do
it
any
differently
and
and
those
kind
of
things
we
are
also
my
intent-
is
for
this
to
be
accessible
so
that
people
can
fish
off
the
end
as
well
right
because
you
got
water
there,
why
not
fish
people,
people
love
to
go
fishing,
you
see
them
all
the
time
see
them
down
at
griswold
point
see
them
down
on
the
themes
at
the
water
taxi
landing
people,
fishing
there's
another
place
to
fish.
So
that's
good
news,
councilor,
mccain.
A
A
I
I
we're
not
setting
up
a
marina,
so
I'm
not
looking
to
run
potable
there,
I'm
not
looking
to
run
shore
power
any
of
that
stuff.
I'm
running
I'm
looking
to
run
whatever
power
we
would
need
if
we
needed
to
have
harbor
lights
now.
Harbor
lights
aren't
really
the
wrong
word
if
we
needed
dock
lights
for
safety
and
access
and
to
put
cameras
there,
so
that
is
one
of
the
things
we'll
be
looking
at
council
piazza.
F
Thank
you.
I
know
at
the
presentation
that
miss
karine
and
miss
patrick
had
that
I
was
at
great
presentation.
I
loved
it.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
know
there
was
a
resident
there,
city
resident
that
was
talking
about.
They
were
concerned
about
the
safety
about
the
kayaking
and
where
they
would
actually
launch
off,
and
I
want
to
know
if
this
might
be
premature
and
asking,
but
if
that
within
these
monies
is
being
looked
at,
and
you
know.
A
I
missed
that
part
of
the.
I
wasn't
there
for
that
part
of
the
presentation.
What
we're
going
to
launch
right
now,
the
intent
one.
If
you
go
into
the
drawing
there's
been
there's
a
couple
designs,
one
was
to
launch
it
inside
and
paddle
around.
The
other
was
to
launch
it
on
the
end
to
make
it
on
the
end.
So
when
we
we
get
the
final
drawings
and
they
come
to
you,
then
that'll
answer
we'll
be
able
to
better
answer
your
question.
A
Then
I
do
not
have
a
specific
answer
now:
okay,
but
my
intent,
one
of
the
things
we've
been
advertising
all
along
is
to
make
this
an
ada,
accessible,
kayak
boat
launch,
and
that's
what
we're
going
to
do.
So
we
are
going
to
make
that
happen.
I'm
not
sure
what
where
the
specific
location
is,
but
it
will
be
safe
there
when
we
do
it.
A
G
J
A
A
A
E
E
The
only
reason
I
asked
that
I
was
just
going
to
say
you
know
I
colton
had
reached
out
to
I
think
more
than
one
person
and
people
other
people
in
the
building.
I
think
about
getting
involved
and
I
personally
encouraged
him
pick
something
that
you're
interested
in
and
find
the
border
commission
that
closely
aligns
with
that
and
and
apply,
and
I
think
you
know
he's
going
to
be
an
alternate
to
me-
that's
a
pretty
low
pressure
way
of
entering
and
getting
involved.
So
I
just
want
to
encourage
people.
E
J
A
A
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
in
multiple
seconds.
Is
any
further
discussion
hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
opposed
extension
motion
carries
okay.
Let
me
make
sure
I've
gotten
everything
else
done
should
be.
The
last
thing
we
have
before
we
go
to
executive
session
is
793
american
rescue
plan
act.
This
is
informing
so
when
you
go
to
7
and
93
back
there.
A
So,
first
of
all,
I
think
ron
informed
you
last
time
we
were
there.
We
were
together
rather
that
we
had
received
the
american
rescue,
the
arpa
funds
right
to
the
tune
of
this
year's
funds
for
the
tune
of
1.3
million
and
we'll
get
another
another
amount
of
1.3
and
there's
a
there's
a
basically
a
chart
in
the
back.
That
says
how
much
we're
going
to
receive.
A
A
It's
it's
the
current
adopted
rate
of
point
five:
five
cents
per
capita,
so
whoops
nope,
that's
not
true!
It's
one
percent
of
the
county
allocation!
That's
what
it
is.
So,
basically
what
he's
looking
for
is
for
the
the
different
members
of
the
minute
start
over
he's
asking
for
one
percent
of
our
county
allocation
over
four
years.
A
You
know
an
amount
every
year
for
four
years,
in
addition
to
our
dues
to
help
fund
a
person
that
will
be
the
nav
they're,
going
to
call
it
the
navigator
that
will
help
the
the
council,
governments
and
the
municipalities
help
guide
their
way
through
this,
because
there's
a
lot
of
questions
about
what's
acceptable.
What's
not
acceptable.
A
I've
talked
to
ron
about
this
and,
and
he
doesn't
really
have
an
opinion
one
way
or
another.
I
talked
to
john
burke
what
the
town
is.
Looking
is
there.
If
you
look
at
the
town's
numbers,
the
town
is,
is
looking
to
get
eight
million
dollars,
total
so
they're
thinking
because
of
that
amount
of
money,
they're
thinking
about
hiring
their
own
own
navigator
and
not
going
this
route,
but
we
could
go
either
way.
I
wasn't
necessarily
thinking
about
hiring
another
individual
and
we
don't
know
how
complicated
it
is.
A
When
is
it
four
thousand
four
thousand
dollars
a
little
over
four
thousand
dollars
a
year
for
the
four
years
with
so
we're
gonna
get
the
money
in
two
years,
two
two
increments,
and
then
we
have
a
total
of
four
years
of
spending
money.
But
that
would
one
of
the
concerns
that
ron
and
I
have
is:
what
are
we
allowed
to
spend
the
money
on?
What
are
the
caveats?
A
I
mean
if
you
follow,
the
newspaper
norwich
has
already
stepped
out
there
and
said
here's
what
we're
going
to
do,
and
there
are
people
that
are
that
are
doing
that.
There
are
other
people
that
are
hanging
back,
trying
to
get
more
information
every
week.
There's
more
information
that
comes
out.
Sometimes
it's
conflicting
with
the
additional
information,
even
in
the
cog
council
government.
Excuse
me,
even
in
the
council
of
governments,
you
know
somebody
will
come
out
and
say
well
we're
going
to
spend
the
money
on
this
I
say:
well,
I
don't
think
that
obliged.
A
So
the
concern
that
I
have
is
I'm
not
going
to
spend
the
money
until
I'm
100
sure
that
the
government's
going
to
approve
it,
and
I
come
back
and
say:
okay,
we
don't
approve
that
money,
so
it
comes
out
of
hide,
comes
out
of
your
budget
right.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
the
money.
I
don't
want
to
waste
the
money.
A
A
The
cultural
coalition
has
reached
out
to
the
municipalities
and
has
basically
asked
for
one
percent
of
our
funds,
which
would
be
thirteen
thousand
dollars
out
of
each
allocation
to
fund
the
cultural
coalition,
which
would
be
four
projects
in
the
city
of
ground.
So
those
are
the
the
two
requests
that
we've
had
so
far.
E
E
E
G
A
There
are
some
there
are
questions
there
and
I
am
on
the
towns,
sierra
patrick
and
I
are
on
the
town's
long-term
recovery
committee,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
the
john
is
getting
some
information
from
paige
and
others
is
what
kinds
of
things
are
the
town
looking
at
and
then
I'm
looking
at?
Do
we
wanna,
for
example,
social
services?
A
A
Also
looking
at
drug
addiction
and
and
those
kind
of
things
and
the
other
thing
that
we're
looking
at
is
is
I
have
sierra
evaluating
whether
or
not
we
can
do
some
grants
for
people
who
renee
won,
but
two
also
for
residents
who
were
negatively
impacted
by
cove,
because
this
is
what
this
money's
for
there's
also
infrastructure
money
in
there.
But
if
you
look
at
our
total
grant
is
a
little
over
2.6
million
dollars.
A
If
you
start
looking
at
infrastructure,
for
example,
sewer
or
water,
or
anything
like
that,
you
can
spend
that
money
very
quickly,
whereas
and
then
none
of
the
people,
you
don't
get
any
of
the
people
in
back.
The
other
thing
that
I
will
caution
us
on
and
I'm
cautioning.
The
long-term
recovery
committee
is
to
not
create
a
program
that
people
depend
on
and
then
you
need
to
continue
to
fund
it.
That's
not
the
purpose
of
this
rescue
funds,
it's
meant
as
a
shot
in
the
arm,
and
then
you
got
to
move
on.
A
So
one
of
the
things
we
have
to
be
careful
of
is
not
creating
a
program
that
then
we
need
to
continue
to
support
now.
If
we
have
a
program
already
and
all
we're
doing
is
providing
additional
funds
to
that
program.
That's
one
thing,
but
to
create
a
program
that
now
we're
starting
up
and
it's
good
for
four
years
and
then
there's
an
expectation
of
people
needing
that
money.
A
A
A
I
wouldn't
have
a
problem
having
5g
here
in
this
area
or
in
public
areas,
but
I'm
also
going
to
be
careful
the
money
I'm
would
want
to
spend
on
5g
if
it's
already
going
to
come
from
somewhere
else
that
has
deeper
pockets
or
it's
already
allocated
for
right,
because
there's
probably
a
better
use
of
our
funds
for
our
residents
here
in
the
city,
I'm
sure
there's
questions
or
comments,
I'm
ready,
but
I
need
to
again.
This
is
informing.
This
is
not
I'm
not
going
to
be
coming
to
you
on
august,
2nd.
A
A
Right
so
there
was
a
motion
in
a
second
to
suspend
the
rules
to
put
except
the
nuclear
safety
emergency
program,
budget
funds
on
the
agenda.
So
there's
a
first
and
second,
there
was
a
question
as
to
whether
or
not
we
voted
on.
I
thought
we
did
but
there's
a
question
on
it.
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
to
administratively
clear
it
up.
Parliamentary
wise
is
to
get
a
vote
on
it.
Does
everybody
understand
what
we're
voting
on?
Okay,
all
in
favor,
say:
hi
oppose
extension
motion
carries
okay,
now
we're
good,
so
we're
100.
A
Okay,
all
right,
so
we
are
done
with
the
regular
portion
we're
going
to
go
into
executive
session.
We
actually
have
two
executive
sessions,
so
we're
going
to
enter
a
instruction,
need
a
motion
to
enter
into
executive
session
pursuant
to
connecticut
general
statutes,
1-200
6a,
one
to
discuss
personnel
in
the
fire
department
to
include
chief
tompkins,
linda
and
chris
two
to
discuss
personnel
police
department
to
include
chief
jenkins,
corporal
holiday
and
captain
lita
salmo.
