AGENDA:  http://www.westonct.gov/media/file/BOSAgenda011620.pdf

A one hour meeting, much was covered.

It began with receipt of a resignation from the Insurance Advisory Committee.

 Preliminary report on Tax Relief program was presented, discussion ensued, no decisions.  The Committee had researched programs in other towns in the
area and by far Weston is the most generous.  When the report is final and presented, a Public Hearing will take place on revisions to the existing ordinance.

MCAC
The Marketing and Communications Advisory Committee gave a report and noted they should be ready with material for real estate market to use this Spring.

Town Plan of C&D
Land Use Director on speakerphone explained what role the Selectmen would play.  Unanimous vote to receive it.  Comments will be made at a later meeting, if any.

Preparation for Special Town Meeting
The Special meeting of the Board of Finance on January 23 (next week) will finalize the need to include (or not) Michael's Way Bridge local match in the "call"
for Special Town Meeting.  To that end, the Selectmen decided to put off voting on the other two items (Public Safety Complex - EMS Headquarters and
Telecommunications item) until a special Selectmen's meeting at 7pm prior to the Special Board of Finance meeting at 7:30pm in the Town Hall Meeting Room.

Tax refunds of $1983.79 were approved.  Minutes of Dec. 19, 2019 and Jan. 2, 2020 were approved.

BUDGET PROCESS FY'20:  http://www.westonct.gov/media/file/BUDGETREVIEWSCHEDULE2019-20approved.pdf

We followed up with the action items related to new Ordinances and Code changes.  Approved or should I say, re-approved.  To be published in a newspaper NOT
the Stamford ADVOCATE.
     
FIRST UP WAS THE SENIOR CENTER WITH THEIR SPACE PLANNING ANALYSIS STUDY...
This report will be on the Town Website soon - including facilities, parking and projected utilization.

AT SOME POINT WAS MENTIONED THE...
$35 million ask in the pipeline for renovation of schools...just a rumor?

SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE PROPOSALS
Selectmen vote yes to sent these concepts to Town Attorney for drafting/research but first thru the Town Administrator review.

HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION IN THE AUDIENCE
From the audience, Historic District Commission notes that they were not notified of this meeting item #8 -"Discussion/decision about renovation and repair restrictions placed
on municipal buildings by virtue of their being located in Weston Historic District Number One"

NEWS:  Ordinances and Code changes re-approved - we will let you know WHERE TO LOOK for official notices as soon as we hear!!!
We had followed up on Historic District matter, thus missing the then as yet unverified approvals or re-approvals of Ordinance and Code matters - with the untimely
disappearance of the newspaper of record, publication of the new/changed municipal matters is in limbo.

LOOKING AHEAD TO THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION...AT LEAST I WAS...IN RE THE SPEND-DOWN OF SURPLUS
We note that this is a very, very important couple of meetings.  Why?  As About Town sees it, spending or committing to spend the really really large excess in General Fund
 surplus at this time might be a wise thing to do.

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS TO BE ON TOWN WEBSITE IN THE FUTURE
Prior to moving into proposed improvements to Fire Department, EMS and Police ("Public Safety") new assistant Town Clerk appointed, resignation received, tax refunds
made, minutes approved....recess until 7:30pm.

New Assistant Town Clerk appointed;  resignation from Finance Board;  Sustainability ideas;  discussing getting out of historic district for town properties.

publication in...the Stamford ADVOCATE (the paper of record for...Weston?)  Selectmen will have to re-approve the 4 items (2 new Ordinances and revisions to Town Code).

New Town Attorney interviewed/hired.


Board of Education asks for supplemental appropriations for Special Ed overrun and to save money on leases.
    First Selectman brings up the fact that the Selectmen now have only $84.000 left to use for supplemental appropriations before July 1*.
   
Then no voting on #2 request because they would have had to say NO for the record...a $15,000 request.
   Request for IT to save them from using their own funds (which might be compromised).  Second Selectman on speaker phone.

*What does the Charter say about supplemental appropriations?  2% OF THE BUDGET (FY'18) IS 2% OF $63,523,769, OR $635,237 multiplied by 2 =   $1,270,474.
Tree Warden request granted...Tree Warden has to clear out hanging limbs at the tops of trees from the latest storm before they fall in power lines. 

Now make that only $54,000 left for supplemental appropriations...

Board of Selectmen apologized for keeping everyone waiting...and approved new part-time staff assisting Children's Librarian.

Then there were interviews for Marketing & Communications Advisory Committee - decision and charge in 2 weeks.
Discussion of a few other possible advisory committees in the works...the survey of the townspeople (or others???) about what makes Weston either a place they want
to live or not???


SECOND Referendum date on the FY'18 budget established - MAY 12, 2018, from 12 noon to 8pm, W.M.S. GYM.  ONLY IF 1st Referenum goes down.


LACHAT
And get ready for an 8-24 to P&Z on the subject of having a farmer live in the apartment in the Lachat Homestead, which would be possible if the Friends of Lachat get

AGENDA

No discussion of Dog Park was on the agenda - and explanation given as to why by First Selectman.

Honor to retiring Selectman after 3 terms on the Board of Selectmen. 

Sense of the meeting that the "objectives" for this Board of Selectmen should be 8 of "Tier One", 2 of "Tier Two" and one of "Tier Three" * - or in another
words, almost 3/4 of the items are top priority.  "Sustainability" only of medium importance.

Re-statement of the Charter duties of the First Selectman to hire and fire - and after discussion decision is "not so fast" - it was observed that the Charter
appears to contradict itself.

1st Selectman reports on Virtual Net Metering.

Appointing of a new Legal Review Select Committee:  First Selectman expresses confidence in Dennis Tracey (Chair. of the 2008 committee) as new chair. and
discussion.

PLUS Executive Session on discussion of real estate purchase.  No decision to be made.

AGENDA

Special Board of Selectmen 7:30pm to past 10pm on First Selectman's Budget, comment on Board of Education Budget.

A very very long meeting because the subject - the Governor's budget - and what would be the process to reduce and/or revise source of funding for Weston's FY'18 budgets.

Passed the Education budget on to Board of Finance ($49,907,522) with comment.

Then there was some interesting discussion about all funds from the State disappearing from Youth Services - eliminated by State of  CT.  last year???

Capital Budget questions revolved around whether to cut South House air-conditioning [$280,000+] - but ultimately left it in ($1,223,600 total capital projects for both school
and town) to April 19th ATBM to decide (if not sooner by Finance)  And provided there will be a quorum of 130 at ATBM.

Town Budget discussed as possible places to cut if necessary ($12,842,265).  First Selectman calls for immediate discussions in camera (we assume no quorum of Boards
mentioned would also apply to Selectmen);  excellent job by Town TV to record the meeting below and make it available to all!!!

SPECIAL BOARD OF SELECTMEN
6:30PM JANUARY 5, 2017.
Town Hall Meeting Room

Observer watched on Town TV.

The most significant point was when the Chair. of the Board of Finance attempted to question whether it was wise to spend money on a Communications Center/Police Department upgrade. 

The First Selectman noted that it was a matter for a Special Town Meeting to decide.

During the meeting, it became obvious that the Selectmen had their eye on the ball - Lachat, Strategic Planning gets funding for press release to "launch" website - real estate agents support it, and City Carting get
funding.  Report on The Tree is that work is done (for now - my words) and bus drivers are very happy.

At the top of the meeting, Friday declared Tom Landry Day, report on just completed fete.  Mr. Landry points out that volunteers in Weston are what really make this place go.

Selectmen review Board of Education Budget FY'17

    

Well now we know why there was a "What's this all about?" moment when the proposed school budget was 1.46% increase and the adopted education budget by the Board of Ed was
...1.68% - Superintendent said the need for another teacher (s) was on the cusp in three situations, so she decided to let the Board of Ed decide!

Lots of talk about the Town and School websites, whether they could be accessed on mobile phones and if this was practical anyway considering that the website for each was being accessed on
laptops or desk tops.  Strategic Planning Committee mentioned.

For example, we note that they, SPC, are planning to send out a survey (???) but to whom?  See notes here.

Since the Board of Selectmen cannot take action on the School Budget, we tuned out at 8:41pm.

FIRST SELECTMAN (r) PRESENTS BUDGET TO BOARD OF SELECTMEN:  Then FY'17 Town and Capital Budget of First Selectman presented...AND NEW FIRST SELECTMAN
MAKES POWER POINT WORK (r) - but first she addressed the assembled group in the Meeting Room and those watching at home.

Bottom line of first 2 slides:  Above left the "budget drivers" FY'17.   Debt pressure from Referendum 2001 still with us for @8 years - then we don't have much debt left (if we don't increase it thru
bonding in the meanwhile).  It was noted  Summary of capital projects next.

Executive Session - "Legal Update" took an hour...then:

Regular Selectmen's meeting began late - appointments made (except one where the new candidate wasn't there; tax refunds done, minutes approved by those who were present.

The Town Attorney present for first item:  to review Dog Ordinance draft, a "Leash Law" at town parks. Pooper scoopers in the text?  Selectmen Dog Ordinance coming up
for "second reading" - although I can't recall when I've seen anything before this (the first reading - but maybe they aren't referring to the public...).  Animal Control Office says
there are presently @1500 licensed dogs and could be as many as total 2000 in town.
  
Another topic:  Godfrey Road Bridge, which is going to be replaced in the Spring (r).  Good news - despite delays it will work out better since the bridge will take less time to
 build because of a design change - Selectmen approved cost of bridge and another vote to hire engineers who designed it to oversee the construction.

And then, almost last, the report of how the Lights committee made out so far.  There will have to be remediation at at least one neighbor's property, as the testing did not meet
the absolute "0" required.

recognized that their opinion was not binding in any way, the Selectmen noted that their participation in the Board of Finance review upcoming would include reports to make
clear the actual budgets and expenditures over the last five years (?).  By Charter (Sec.4.1) "The First Selectman shall be an ex-officio member of all agencies of the Town, but
without the power to vote."
2.  Discussion/decision, Capital Budget/approved at $1,121,000: after discussion, 2-1 vote on high school auditorium lighting put in this amount;  negative vote did not reflect the
unanimous feeling of the Board of Selectmen that $132,870 (?) should be in the Board of Education budget, although the particular issue was academic.

First open discussion of First Draft which presumably only P&Z and selected entities such as Conservation and others who contributed to it.  Rescheduled from 12-2-19.

Observations:  Although no material was available for the public (except proposed changes by themselves) it was instructive to find out that January 2, 2020 will be
the scheduled vote to approve the draft (by P&Z).  At the moment, there are some changes that must be included and maps corrected.  Sustainability and Town Attorney
comments given at a recent previous meeting.  These are to be delivered to Milone & MacBroom to be included.
Timeline:  The 65 days to accept public comment prior to the official Public Hearing begins, we assume, after notice is published after P&Z takes its vote.  As per

LWV of Weston’s newly enlarged Observer Corps attended Westport LWV’s “Wrap-Up” and reported back to the LWV of Weston Steering Committee promptly on what Senator
Boucher, Westport Representatives Steinberg and Lavielle had to say. 

While not a very pleasant discussion (CT condition on its budget), we quote from the Observer’s report on at least some good news:

“…Each legislator had a chance to quickly describe some legislation of which they are proud, to counter the variety of less agreeable news coming from the meeting. Among
those listed included bills providing relief from various mandates, public health bills addressing the opioid crisis, and the education bills requiring teacher training on dyslexia…”

Weston Police Commission: Selectmen rescind decision to appoint Edward Schwarz
Weston Forum
by BRIAN GIOIELE
Jul 13, 2007

Two weeks after granting its unanimous approval, the Weston Board of Selectmen voted last night, Thursday, July 12, to rescind its decision to appoint Edward Schwarz to fill
the vacant Police Commission seat.

Mr. Schwarz was nominated by the Democratic Town Committee to fill the seat vacated by Wally Marcus, but unbeknownst to the selectmen, Mr. Schwarz had been arrested by
Weston Police in December 2006 for a domestic incident.

“The Democratic Town Committee owes an explanation to the selectmen as to their candidate selection process,” said Selectman Glenn Major during Thursday’s selectmen’s
meeting.

“They have a duty to give all the information we need to make an appropriate choice,” added Mr. Major. “To think that a criminal matter that is still pending is not information
we should have ... it’s absurd, particularly when that board or commission is the Police Commission.”

“Knowing what I know today, I would not have voted the way I voted,” said First Selectman Woody Bliss.

Selectman Richard Miller agreed. “If I knew at the time I voted at the last meeting what I know now, I would not have voted ‘yea,’” he said.

Because Mr. Schwarz was appointed to an elective commission — not an appointive one — the question as to whether the Board of Selectmen has the legal authority to now
reverse its decision is still not crystal clear. Mr. Bliss said he talked to town counsel, who confirmed there is precedent for such a reversal.

“The case law is not 100%,” said Mr. Bliss.
