Mezzo to execute any and all agreements and/or documents with First Hartford Capital Corporation, its successors and/or assigns, current record owner of the former Risdon property, formerly known as 1 Risdon Drive, Naugatuck, CT 06770, to accept the amount of THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND and 00/100THS ($300,000) DOLLARS as payment full of all outstanding, real estate tax obligations against all parcels associated with said property through June 30, 2014; in exchange for the following: (i) transfer of title of the parcel currently used as a parking lot by the Peter J. Foley Little League located along Andrew Avenue to the Borough of Naugatuck; (ii) a deed restriction to the Borough of Naugatuck duly recorded against all parcels of the former Risdon property prohibiting any residential uses on such properties in perpetuity, and (iii) a commitment by First Hartford Capital Corporation to pay all future tax obligations from July 1, 2014, forward and redevelop the property in a reasonable amount of time in cooperation with the Borough of Naugatuck and the Naugatuck Economic Development Corporation. 7. Public Comment Why subsidize the golf course when it’s not making any money? Get rid of the golf course. When will there be a public comment on the Blum Shapiro Report? The public has been taken out of the equation. There is a need for more input by residents on the Blum Shapiro Report, less than 300 residents gave input. The borough should look at other studies instead of through a company out of London. Privatizing trash is a step in the wrong direction. Check into other communities who privatized and then reversed it. Department heads attend borough meetings; will the private trash haulers attend meetings? Why can’t the Visiting Nurses Association take patients from surrounding communities? Referrals from doctors have dropped because most doctors think the VNA is closed. Let the employees know the closing date so patients can have continuity of care and employees can find new jobs. The borough should use Naugatuck Youth Services as our service provider. Flashing signs not allowed according to Zoning Regulations and yet there are several flashing signs still in the borough. There is a multiple commissions issue according to the Code of Ordinances Section 2- 117. There are problems with both Veolia and the Naugatuck Ambulance which are private; the borough should take them back. Blum Shapiro’s viewpoint is to run the town to make a profit. Don’t run it to make a profit. Run it efficiently. Is there a rule for the Public Works Department employees as to when and where they can smoke on the job? Do we provide something for their cigarette butts? -3- Minutes – Board of Mayor and Burgesses – Regular Meeting – April 1, 2014 8. Burgess Comments – Open Topic Burgess Olbrys thanked the following organizations for their contribution toward the success of the St. Patrick’s Day Road Race – Ion Bank, The Poor House, Cook’s Café, Naugatuck Valley Savings and Loan and the Police and Fire Departments. There will be a Kayak/Canoe River Race on May 3rd at 11 a.m. Burgess Ernsky said there was an excellent turn out for the road race. She thanked Ion Bank for their sponsorship. Burgess Ernsky thanked Deputy Mayor Rossi for her dedication spearheading the EMS Committee and the IT Committee. Burgess Bronko said Naugatuck Day Care has a full roster and a waiting list. He tried to encourage the Day Care to become autonomous but they decided they would still like to stay connected to the borough. Burgess Neth stated the Blum Shapiro report is not set in stone. Naugatuck Youth Services came back to the borough with a plan. The Board of Mayor and Burgesses is not involved with negotiations; the Mayor and his team are involved. He has seen a decline in the Visiting Nurses Association over the years. Burgess Neth said he is skeptical on the five year plan for privatization of the trash. He would like to see a ten year plan instead. Deputy Mayor Rossi said there was an incredible amount of supporters for the road race. She thanked the Police and Fire Departments as well as the Safety Patrol. She congratulated Deputy Police Chief Josh Bernegger who is at the FBI Academy for training. She said the Blum Shapiro Report was a recommendation document. There is a need for public comment on the report but when a plan can be brought forward for intelligent conversation. The Deputy Mayor said the IT Commission is an advisory commission only. There is no voting at the meetings. Burgess Burns thought very good points were brought up this evening. There has not been enough information to vote on the Visiting Nurses Association at the present time. Burgess Scully thanked Jim Goggin and everyone who worked hard at the St. Patrick’s Day celebration. He said the golf course is loosing $65,000 but brought in over $500,000. The parks do not bring in revenue but cost the borough over 2 million dollars. Burgess Jackson thanked Naugatuck Education Foundation for distributing $18,000 in grants to six schools. She also thanked Senior Center Director Harvey Frydman for the St. Patrick’s Day luncheon. Burgess Vitale said the Fire Department Recognition Ceremony was a wonderful recognition of our firefighters and others people that assist our Fire Department. He is a member of the Early Childhood Council. There is a need for preschool education and the funds that are available can’t service all the kids in need. They brought in a $20,000 grant for a breakfast club program at five elementary schools and a $10,000 literacy grant. The week of the child will be celebrated April 26th on the green. The Masons are building a handicapped playground at Legion Field. 9.

K. Rossi abstained. 29. Public Comment Is there a plan to do another study? Municipalities do not know how to manage golf courses. 30. Burgess Comments/Sub-Committee Reports Deputy Mayor Rossi announced TRIAD will be hosting a Shred-It Event on May 8th from 8-10 a.m. The Fire Department responded to 79 incidents in the month of March. She acknowledged the efforts of Deputy Chief Murray and Fire Commission Chairman Wayne Malicki on the Fire Department Recognition Ceremony. Burgess Neth remembers a discussion twenty years ago about leasing the golf course. The problem is there are only nine holes on the course.
