ROLL CALL VOTE: FOR OPPOSE ABSTAIN Mayor N.W. Hess L. Jackson None None R. Burns R. Neth K. Donovan P. Scully, Sr. C. Herb R. Vitale D. Hoff Motion carried 9-0-0 20. Mayor Hess met in his office with a Greenwood Street couple regarding a feral cat problem in their neighborhood. They would like the borough to consider adopting a Feral and Domestic Cat Ordinance that fines people if they choose to feed feral cats. Mayor Hess said the borough attorney would write an ordinance similar to one adopted in Newington, Connecticut. A public hearing would be held and the board would then vote to adopt the ordinance. The mayor asked the burgesses for their input on adopting such an ordinance. Burgess Hoff asked if the ordinance will place the burden on our Animal Control Office to pick up the cats, house them and pay for the vet bills. She doesn’t know if an ordinance will solve the problem. Deputy Mayor Neth said we should call Newington and ask how the ordinance is working in their town and what costs the town has to incur. Burgess Vitale suggested we refer the matter to the Police Commission. Deputy Police Chief Joshua Bernegger said Animal Control would capture the cats, take them to a veterinarian to be spayed or neutered and then release the cats back in the neighborhood where they were captured. The deputy chief will contact Newington to discuss the ordinance. 21.

Burgess Donovan reported the Zoning Commission held a public hearing for a Better Way Car Dealership to repair vehicles at 49 Raytkwich Drive. -11- Minutes – Board of Mayor and Burgesses Regular Meeting – September 6, 2016 Burgess Hoff said the Greater Waterbury Transit District meeting didn’t take place because the chairwoman forgot to attend. She requested statistics from the organization and is still waiting to receive them. Burgess Neth said the Elderly Tax Committee held two workshops and will be holding their first meeting this month. He met with the Public Works Department to discuss the connection of the high school and the armory property. The high school upper parking lot on Millville Avenue has a guardrail that is tipping and the parking lot is starting to erode. The Naugatuck High School Renovation Committee is looking at replacing it with a retaining wall. The renovation project is under budget but final figures are not in yet. Some of the money left over in the renovation project could be used for the retaining wall. The committee has to look into wetlands before starting the wall. Deputy Mayor Neth spoke highly of Kaestle Boos Associates and O&G for their oversight on the project. He said they did an outstanding job on the project, especially Freddie Khericha, KBA. 29. VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Burgess Scully and seconded by Burgess Vitale to adjourn the meeting at 8:36 p.m. A digital recording of this meeting is available in the office of the Borough Clerk for further review. Attest: Nancy K. DiMeo Borough Clerk
