1. Public Building Commission (Library Renovation Project)

Mr. Joe Novak, Public Building Commission Chairperson, reported to the Town Council. An architect for the L.P. Wilson Center Roof replacement has been selected. The State reimbursement application must be submitted by June 30, 2002. Site work is out to bid for 330 Windsor Avenue. A design firm has been selected for the Clover Street renovation project and planned replacement is scheduled for June 2003. The Poquonock School modernization project is planned for summer 2003, the Poquonock floor tile abatement project will be completed in August 2002, and the Poquonock window replacement is scheduled to be complete in September or October 2002.

The WHS project is 75% complete. Work on the boiler room and infrastructure will be performed through the end of the year with no student disruption. The project will be completed in December 2002.

Mr. Novak introduced Ken Best, consulting architect and Ms. Laura Kahkonen, Library Director, who gave a presentation on the library renovation project. Mr. Best summarized the phases and went over the floor plans and discussed the financials.

Councilor Broxterman asked if we have eliminated flat roofs and if we have researched the difference between a pitched roof and a flat roof. Mr. Best responded there is a significant portion of flat roof on the project. He further explained that because this is a large building the cost would be significant for a pitched roof and it would also change the appearance dramatically.

Councilor Broxterman also asked if the expansion plan includes more computer and meeting space. Ms. Kahkonen indicated space dedicated for computers would be doubled. Mr. Best responded that the meeting room will be a little smaller in transition, but the final addition will increase the square footage.

Councilor Simon asked if this were a one-phase project, how long would the project take. He also asked how the library usage would be affected during expansion and about the $500,000 in grants. Mr. Best said that it would take 2¼ to 2½ years to complete the project verses the three-phase four-year plan. Mr. Novak stated there would be some disruption to certain areas during expansion. Ms. Kahkonen stated that 1/3 of the total project cost, up to $500,000, is available from the State of Connecticut. Priority is given to towns that plan a 20-year renovation schedule.

Councilor Broxterman asked if the PBC, based on the experience with the high school project, is comfortable with what may be found behind the walls. Mr. Novak stated that it is a smaller project than WHS and there is a 10% contingency factored in the budget estimates.

Councilor Jepsen inquired about the usage of the library during excavation. Mr. Best said that the children’s room would move to the AV area, and the excavation area would be closed off.

Councilor Mulligan asked if the financial figures included the grant monies. Mr. Novak stated that the grant monies have not been figured into the financials.

Deputy Mayor Curtis asked about grant monies and the timeline for the applications. Ms. Kahkonen replied that applications are due by August 30, 2002 and notification is in January.

Mayor Trinks asked about the timeline and costs. Town Manager Churchill reviewed the estimates for design and construction funds.

Mayor Trinks referred this project to the Town Improvements Committee for review of the suggested phasing of the project.

2. Appropriation of $35,000 from Capital Outlay fund to the Rappaport Building project

The Town Improvements Committee reviewed and approved the proposed agreement at their meeting of June 3, 2002. They have recommended that the Town Council appropriate $35,000 towards this project and authorize the Town Manager to sign the agreement.

The agreement provides that the town will loan $35,000 to the Museum to help with operating costs and that the Museum will permit the town to take the lead in soliciting developers for the redevelopment of the building. The loan is to be repaid without interest upon sale of the building or by July of 2005, whichever occurs first.

Councilor Broxterman said this buys us some time and it is a worthwhile risk to have all the building redeveloped to its highest potential.

Councilor Mulligan asked if this marketing agreement is in concert with the real estate agreement the building owners have with the real estate firm William Ravis. Mr. Jim Burke, Economic Development Director, said that the real estate agreement is for leasing, not for sale of the building.

Councilor Jepsen asked if the town attorney has reviewed the agreement. Town Manager Churchill stated that it has received attorney review.

Motion Passed 9-0-0

12. New Business

1. Financial support for SummerWind Performing Arts Center

Councilor Simon wants this project to succeed but asked why we are dealing with this just five days before SummerWind opens. Town Manager Churchill said that it has taken over a month to pull the motion together. He has kept the Town Council apprised through communication.

Councilor Broxterman asked if the venue would be named the Savings Bank of Manchester at SummerWind. Town Manager Churchill said that it has not.

Councilor Broxterman asked when was it known by the town that the tent cost would be $600,000 over the projected cost. Town Manager Churchill said that we were aware of the cost in January 2002. There was also an engineer who was not familiar with Connecticut’s requirements. SummerWind expected to come up with the additional costs through sponsorships and corporate underwriting.

Moved by Councilor Broxterman, seconded by Deputy Mayor Curtis to adopt the following resolution:

WHEREAS, Celebrate Windsor, Incorporated, is a non-profit corporation organized under the laws of the State of Connecticut and engaged in promoting the Town of Windsor through providing quality public entertainment;

WHEREAS, the Windsor Town Council believes it is in the public interest to support Celebrate Windsor, Incorporated, in these activities;

WHEREAS, Connecticut General Statutes - 148 (c) (4) (c) authorizes a municipality to provide for entertainment, amusements, concerts, celebrations and cultural activities;

WHEREAS, Connecticut General Statutes - 148 (c) (2) (e) authorizes a municipality to make appropriations to assist private organizations performing a public function;

WHEREAS, Savings Bank of Manchester has agreed to provide Celebrate Windsor, Incorporated, with a loan of $600,000.00 provided the Town of Windsor expresses an intent to protect it from any loss in excess of $250,000.00 to a maximum of $250,000.00;

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF WINDSOR THAT:

1. Subject to future appropriation, the Town of Windsor will protect the Savings Bank of Manchester from any loss on said loan which exceeds $250,000.00 to a maximum guarantee by the Town of Windsor of $250,000.00.

3. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum amount the Town of Windsor shall be asked to pay in the event of a default is $250,000.00.

Motion Passed 9-0-0

The reconstruction of Corey Street is listed as project for FY 03 in the adopted Capital Improvements Plan. Concerns over the condition of the road/sidewalks were also raised at a public hearing held by the Wilson Deerfield Advisory Committee. The use of the Community Development Block Grant funds for this project would simply allow the town to stretch its finite resources to address other imminent concerns. The anticipated project cost is $440,000. The Small Cities regulations require a 10% local match for the project.

Councilor Pacino asked that if the grant were not approved, how would this project be funded. Town Manager Churchill said that the project is on the CIP list for FY 2003 and would likely have to postponed until a future year when town funds would be available.

Moved by Councilor Simon, seconded by Councilor Jepsen to approve the following resolution:

WHEREAS, Federal monies are available under the Connecticut Small Cities Community Development Block Grant Program, administered by the State of Connecticut, Department of Economic & Community Development pursuant to Public Law 93-3 83, as amended; and,

WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 127c, and Part VI of Chapter 130 of the Connecticut General Statutes, the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development is authorized to disburse such Federal monies to local municipalities; and,

WHEREAS, it is desirable and in the public interest that the Town of Windsor make application to the State for funding in the amount of $445,000 in order to undertake a Small Cities Community Development Program (Reconstruction of Corey Street) and to execute an Assistance Agreement therefore, should one be offered.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE WINDSOR TOWN COUNCIL:

1. That it is cognizant of the conditions and prerequisites for state assistance imposed by Part VI of Chapter 130 of the Connecticut General Statutes; and,
2. That the filing of an application by the Town of Windsor in the amount not to exceed $445,000 is hereby approved, and that the Town Manager is hereby authorized and directed to file such application with the Commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development, to provide such additional information, to execute such other documents as may be required by the Commissioner, to execute an Assistance Agreement with the State of Connecticut for State financial assistance if such an Agreement is offered, to execute any amendments, rescissions, and revisions thereto, and to act as the authorized representative of the Town of Windsor.

Motion Passed 9-0-0

First Town Downtown has been working collaboratively to develop a concept plan to improve pedestrian circulation and safety in Windsor Center. In FY 2002, the Town Council appropriated $25,000 to assist in designing future phases of the suggested projects.

Mayor Trinks asked if this money has already been set aside. Mr. Peter Souza, Assistant Town Manager, said that money from the FY 2002 Capital Projects account would be transferred into the FY 2003 Capital Outlay Fund Account for Windsor Center Improvements.

Councilor Pacino asked if the Town Council would approve final design. Mr. Souza replied that the Town Council would approve the plan prior to expenditures of funds. Town staff is planning to bring the implementation plan to the Town Council within the next 60 days.

Councilor Mulligan asked if this account would have $75,000 in July 2002. Mr. Souza confirmed that the account would have a $75,000 balance in July 2002.

Moved by Councilor Walker, seconded by Councilor Jepsen that $25,000 be transferred from the General Fund, General Services, Capital Projects, 01-273-318, to Capital Outlay Fund Account 02-602, Windsor Center Improvements.

Motion Passed 9-0-0

4. Neighborhood Assistance Act Tax Credit Program

Councilor Simon stated the funds are not appropriated from the Town of Windsor. Town Manager Churchill added that these amounts are for tax credits by the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services.

Motion passed 9-0-0

6. Introduce Bond Ordinance for O’Brien Field Lighting

The Town Improvements Committee on June 10, 2002 discussed potential improvements to O’Brien Stadium. The committee requested staff to develop a potential financing plan to fund a project to include the design, purchase, and installation of a lighting system.

Councilor Broxterman asked how the project cost estimate had been developed. Town Manager Churchill stated the estimate was developed by the town Engineering Department in consultation with lighting vendors. Mr. Charles Vola, WHS Athletic Director, said that he received a bid a year ago from a contractor.

Councilor Broxterman spoke about the recreational needs of Windsor and the absence of improvements to fields in town. These facilities represent Windsor. He expressed that this project is important. He doesn’t support bonding for this project because he believes this project can be completed with $180,000, which can be taken out of cash reserves. After this step is taken, then we can talk about what we can do to address the conditions of the fields. We are dealing with the summation of fifteen years of no improvements to fields.

Councilor Mulligan asked about options three and four and about the other differences. Town Manager Churchill responded that the lighting control systems are different, essentially the options range from having a basic switch that controls the entire system to a more complex switching system with timers and a better ability to "customize" the lighting for various types of events.

Councilor Mulligan asked if the town has approached the residents near the field for their input. Town Manager Churchill said that it has been done informally.

Councilor Broxterman reported that the eight-foot screened fence would eliminate any direct light into anyone’s backyard or house.

Councilor Jepsen asked if the Board of Education has addressed this issue. Town Manager Churchill stated that to his knowledge it has not been discussed formally by the board.

Mayor Trinks said that our focus is the town as a whole and his concern is that the project has not been on the CIP and that we must set some self-discipline in projects like these that are not on the CIP. Mayor Trinks asked when the CIP would be reviewed again. Town Manager Churchill said that the CIP is reviewed annually and presented to Town Council each November. Mayor Trinks is concerned that if this project is approved that something on the CIP would not be completed.

Councilor Broxterman stated that the skateboard park project was approved for $38,000 without it going to the CIP list. The town owns the fieldhouse now, not the school system.

Councilor Walker noted that there are parents in town who are concerned about maintenance and improvements to athletic fields. It is in his opinion that there appears to be a lack of voice or department in the Town of Windsor to speak on behalf of the athletic fields or sports in town. There is a risk of injury and liability to the town if improvements are not made. Maintenance of the fields is also important.

Councilor Albano asked if we voted to pay $50,000 to crown the field. Town Manager Churchill confirmed that the Council had transferred FY 2002 funds to a capital account for such improvements. Councilor Albano said that perhaps the motion should be to place the project in next year’s CIP.

Deputy Mayor Curtis is in favor of the motion. This motion is just for the lighting. The lighting has been the subject of many Town Improvement Committee meetings. This seems to be an opportunity that when there is support from the community for a project, it can be taken out of committee and to the Town Council for full discussion.

Mayor Trinks asked how tall the softball lights were. The response was that the softball lights are 60-feet tall.

Councilor Jepsen did attend the Town Improvements Committee meeting and it was very informative. He has a concern about trying to accomplish this project by September. He is in favor of waiting a year and putting the project in the CIP.

Councilor Mulligan is in favor of lighting the field, however, he is concerned that there has not been enough investigation on the project. He is also concerned that we are circumventing the bidding process. He cannot support the bonding issue.

Mayor Trinks stated he is not opposed to the project, but to the process. He wants the field to be multi-use, not just for football. He feels it needs to be thought out clearly to accommodate multi-use.

Councilor Broxterman asked if the engineer could determine the lighting needs by the next Town Council meeting. Town Manager Churchill stated that they would investigate the needs. He thoroughly trusts the information that the Engineering Department presented.

Deputy Mayor Curtis said that it is in his opinion that this project would never be a top priority for the Board of Education because of the educational needs of the district.

Resolved by Deputy Mayor Curtis, seconded by Councilor Simon that the reading into the minutes of the text of the ordinance entitled "AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING $350,000 FOR THE O’BRIEN STADIUM LIGHTING INSTALLATION PROJECT, AND AUTHORIZING THE ISSUE OF $350,000 BONDS AND NOTES TO FINANCE THE APPROPRIATION" is hereby waived, the full text of the ordinance having been distributed to each member of the Town Council and copies being made available to those persons attending this meeting and that the full text of the ordinance be recorded with the minutes of this meeting.

Motion Passed 9-0-0

Moved by Deputy Mayor Curtis, seconded by Councilor Broxterman that the accompanying ordinance appropriating $350,000 for the O’Brien Stadium Lighting Installation Project, and authorizing the issue of $350,000 bonds and notes to finance the appropriation be adopted.

15. Public Communications and Petitions

Ms. Kay Nowiszewski, 64 Alden Road addressed the Town Council. She discussed the lighted football field. It is in her opinion that the field improvements are not for recreation, they are part of the development of the youth in Windsor. Pride in their schools and in their community is essential for the youth of Windsor. She is upset that this project has dragged on as long as it has. She asked who is responsible for the research, when can this research be done and when will the project be started. Somebody needs to be accountable.

Mr. Carl Nowiszewski, 64 Alden Road, spoke about the lighting of the football field. He explained that it is different from any other expenditure. This project pays for itself through admission fees generated by night games. The total cost of field turf and lights would fit within the contingency for the library. He asked the Council to think about that and put it in perspective.
