Mayor’s Opening Comments  A video owl and a big screen was purchased to hold hybrid board/commission meetings in the GEM Room at the Naugatuck Event Center. People can attend the meetings in person and/or virtually. The mayor told IT Director Jim Kallipolites to purchase an additional video owl out of the Town Clerk’s Local Capital Improvement Fund so two meetings can be held on the same evening. The mayor said the April meeting will be held hybrid at the Gem Room.  Mayor Hess said tomorrow is a big day. He will be giving testimony in Hartford on the Waterbury Branch Line. He and a few burgesses submitted written testimony in favor of increasing trains on the Waterbury line. The proposal is to have fifteen to twenty- two trains running per day. Increased trains would allow someone to leave Naugatuck and know there will be a train to take them back.  The mayor said there will probably be a special meeting in March to discuss the Port of Naugatuck. CSX Corporation bought our former partner Pan Am Railroad. President Biden wants trucks off the roads and supports freight. Veolia and the Wastewater Treatment Plant will also be discussed at the special meeting.  Mayor Hess said the Hunt investigations are still active and open. There will be no further information until those investigations are competed.  The mayor would like a few burgesses to work with him and the CT Water Company on the acquisition of some additional open space to finalize hiking trails.  A statewide problem on trash and trash pickup will be discussed tonight. Long-term solutions are needed statewide. 7. Public Comment – Open Topic A resident on Kosko Lane discussed his concerns with the proposed project at 0 Prospect Street. He believes blasting may have a major effect on his well and the wells in the area. 8. Mayor Hess said there is a thirty-four million dollar increase in the October 1, 2020 Grant List. Over a million dollars in new revenue is coming to the borough to offset the budget. Deputy Assessor Shelby Jackson said real estate is up five million dollars or 0.33%, personal property is up eighteen million dollars or 15%, motor vehicle is up 11 million dollars or 6.15%, which is an overall increase of thirty-five million dollars or 2.2%. He clarified that personal property is personal equipment businesses use to operate their business. 9. VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Taf Jackson and seconded by Burgess Neth that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses authorize Mayor Hess to enter into a contract with WC McBride Electrical Contractors LLC, 1027 Fairfield Avenue, Bridgeport, CT 06605 in the amount of $550,416.42 for the installation of solar panels for the Photovoltaic Solar Project at City Hill Middle School as recommended by the Naugatuck Standing Building Committee and the Naugatuck Board of Education. -3- Minutes – Board of Mayor and Burgesses – Regular Meeting – March 2, 2021 10. VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Taf Jackson and seconded by Burgess Mizeski that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses authorize Mayor Hess to instruct Advanced Energy Efficiencies (AEE) to submit Zero Emissions Renewable Energy Credits (ZRECS) applications to the State of CT ZREC competitive auction. Further, the Mayor is authorized to sign a Memorandum of Understanding between the Borough of Naugatuck & AEE to secure favorable financing for the installation of solar energy at the following BON facilities: 1. Andrew Avenue School 2. Naugatuck High School/BOE Building 3. Parks & Recreation Maintenance Facility 4. Naugatuck Police Department 5. Naugatuck Day Care Facility This authorization is for the purposes of reducing the borough's energy costs and improvement of its environmental sustainability with no upfront capital costs. 11. Mayor Hess said there is a legitimate space needs problem in the town hall. He said the best candidate to leave the town hall is Probate Court. The cost of Probate Court is spread between Naugatuck, Middlebury, Beacon Falls and Prospect. Building Inspector Bill Herzman has been looking at buildings in town to locate a suitable facility without a significant cost. Dr. Robert Matusz owns two buildings on Meadow Street. One is his medical office and the other recently had a fire. The insurance company is paying for 100% of the build out of the damaged building. This is the best place for the price to relocate Probate Court. Mr. Herzman said the space in town hall where the Probate Court is located would create space to combine the engineering and building storage needs on one floor, removing files being kept in the basement vault. He said building files need to be kept for the life of the structure. The building department is currently storing files in the hallway. The Matusz building also allows for the growth of Probate Court. 12. VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Taf Jackson and seconded by Burgess Neth that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses approve the bid and authorize Mayor Hess to execute all contracts and related documents for a “2021 Ford F-350 w/Service Body” to Shaker Family Ford Lincoln, 831 Straits Turnpike, Watertown, CT 06795 in the amount of $51,774.00 as recommended by Assistant to the Public Works Director Sandra Lucas- Ribeiro. 13.

Water Main Extension and Assessment WHEREAS, as authorized by Section 7-137c of the Connecticut General Statutes, the Borough of Naugatuck is empowered to extend, or cause to be extended, water mains for residential, commercial, industrial or mixed uses, and WHEREAS, the Board of Mayor and Burgesses has determined that it is or may be necessary or desirable from time to time to extend water mains in one or more areas of the Borough, and WHEREAS, Section 7-137c of the Connecticut General Statutes provides that each owner of property abutting any such water main shall reimburse the municipality for his proportionate share of the cost of said main at such time and by such rules as the municipality may by ordinance determine. NOW THEREFORE: BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF MAYOR AND BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF NAUGATUCK: Before the Board of Mayor and Burgesses shall make an appropriation for the extension of any water main as permitted by Section 7-137c of the Connecticut General Statutes, it shall hold a Public Hearing with regard to such proposed extension at which time any resident of the Borough of Naugatuck may be heard with regard thereto. Notice of such hearing, which notice shall identify the approximate area of the proposed extension, shall be published in a newspaper having a circulation in the Borough of Naugatuck not later than seven (7) days prior to the hearing. At such hearing the Board of Mayor and Burgesses shall have available such cost estimates as it may then have with regard to the proposed cost of said extension. Within sixty (60) days after the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the Board shall determine whether it intends to proceed with said extension and if it intends to proceed with said extension, it shall appropriate such funds in such manner as is permitted by the Charter of the Borough of Naugatuck. -5- Minutes – Board of Mayor and Burgesses Regular Meeting – March 2, 2021 Whenever the Board of Mayor and Burgesses shall appropriate funds for the extension of water mains as permitted by Section 7-137c of the Connecticut General Statutes, the owner of each property abutting such main shall reimburse the Borough of Naugatuck for his proportionate share of the cost of said extension according to the following formula. The total cost of any extension shall be calculated and determined by the Board of Mayor and Burgesses within 120 days after the extension has been completed. The total cost shall include the cost of water mains, including materials, installation, pumping stations, service connections, curb, sidewalks and highway repairs, and the cost of the installation of gate valves and shut offs, land acquisition and incidental expenses. The Board of Mayor and Burgesses shall determine the proposed share of each property owner proportioned in such a way that the municipality shall be ultimately be free from any costs of the extension and expenses incidental thereto except where any portion of the water main or service is to be used for a municipal purpose, in which instance the municipality shall contribute a fair proportion of the expense representing such proportional municipal share. In a residential zone, the proportionate share of each property owner abutting the main shall be determined by dividing the total cost of the extension as calculated by the Board of Mayor and Burgesses, by the number of residential lots capable of being served by the water main and abutting the water main. The sum thus derived shall be the proportionate share. Such proportionate share shall be the proposed assessment for each property owner. The Board of Mayor and Burgesses shall direct such proper Borough officials as it determines to prepare a list of the proposed assessments which list shall identify the property to be affected by the proposed assessment, and shall contain the name and address of the owners thereof as on file with the Assessor of the Borough of Naugatuck as of the date that the list is prepared. The list shall be filed with the Town Clerk. The Board of Mayor and Burgesses shall establish a date for a Public Hearing which shall not be later than sixty (60) days following the determination of the proposed assessment and shall cause a notice of Public Hearing to be published in the newspaper having a circulation in the Borough of Naugatuck at least once and not less than seven (7) days prior to the hearing date. A notice of the proposed assessment shall be mailed to each landowner of record abutting the water main and such notice shall indicate the date, place and time of the Public Hearing and advise that any person desiring may appear and be heard. The notice shall be mailed to the address on file with the Assessor as of the date of mailing and shall be mailed United States mail, postage prepaid, not later than fourteen (14) days prior to the hearing. At said hearing, the Board of Mayor and Burgesses shall cause to be placed on the record the basis of the cost calculation that it has made and the method selected in determining the fair share of each property owner. -6- Minutes – Board of Mayor and Burgesses Regular Meeting – March 2, 2021 Within thirty (30) days after the hearing the Board of Mayor and Burgesses shall make such assessments as it finds it equal the fair proportionate share of each property owner in accordance with Section 7-137c of the Connecticut General Statutes and shall cause a notice of said assessment containing the names and addresses of the property owners and the amount of said assessment and identifying the property in a newspaper having a substantial circulation in the Borough of Naugatuck. The Board of Mayor and Burgesses may permit the assessment to be amortized over a term of twenty (20) years, payable with interest as may be established from time to time by the Board of Mayor and Burgesses, with no pre-payment penalty. Notice of said assessment shall be recorded in the land records of the Borough of Naugatuck and shall be payable annually. Payment not made within thirty days of the payment date shall accrue interest at the rate at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. In the case of any land zoned residential or classified pursuant to Sections 12-107a to 12- 107e of the Connecticut General Statutes inclusive, as farm land, forest land or open spaced land on the last completed Grand List of the Borough, which exceeds by more than 100% the size of the smallest lot permitted in the lowest density residential zone allowed under the zoning regulations, assessment of such excess land shall be deferred until such time as such excess land shall be built upon or a building permit issued therefore or until approval of a subdivision plan of such excess property by the Planning Commission, whichever event occurs first, at which time the assessment shall be made. In the event that such assessment is deferred, the Borough of Naugatuck Clerk of the Board of Mayor and Burgesses shall cause a caveat to be placed on the Land Records in form satisfactory to the Board of Mayor and Burgesses. In an industrial and commercial zone, the proportionate share of each property owner abutting the main shall be determined in each case on a case by case basis on a front foot or other equitable basis provided that if residential or agricultural property or property zoned for residential or agricultural use abuts lines of construction of water mains to be used for industrial or commercial purposes, or partly for commercial purposes, or partly for commercial or industrial purposes, and such property is not being used for such purposes, the proportionate share of the owners of such property shall be computed on a front foot or other equitable basis for a standard or minimum size main. In any case where need for a particular extension is in response to a community pollution problem as defined by Section 22a-423 of the Connecticut General Statutes and a grant is received from the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection, the Borough may waive such reimbursement to the extent of any grant actually received. If the Board of Mayor and Burgesses causes a water main extension to be made by a public utility regulated under the laws of the State of Connecticut and if under the provisions of any tariff agreement with said public utility, funds are reimbursed to the Borough of Naugatuck as a result of tie-ins by property owners along the extension all -7- Minutes – Board of Mayor and Burgesses – Regular Meeting – March 2, 2021 said reimbursement payments shall become the property of the Borough provided that if when all of the assessments have been paid and all of the reimbursements have been received, the total amount received exceeds the cost of the project including all incidentals, to the Borough, any excess funds shall be proportionately reimbursed to the property owners affected provided that there shall be no reimbursement if the reimbursement to any single property owner will be less than $25.00. Within sixty (60) days of an assessment made pursuant to this ordinance and Section 7- 137c of the Connecticut General Statutes, the owner of any property assessed may appeal to the Superior Court pursuant to the provision of Section 7-137c of the Connecticut General Statutes as the same may be amended from time to time.

VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Taf Jackson and seconded by Burgess Neth that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses authorize Mayor Hess to sign and enter into an “Investment Consulting Agreement” with DiMeo, Schneider & Associates, formerly Fiduciary Investment Advisors LLC, 500 W. Madison Street, Suite 1700, Chicago, IL 60661 to provide consulting services relating to the borough’s pension funds as recommended by Controller Allyson W. Bruce. 18. VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Taf Jackson and seconded by Burgess Neth that that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses authorize Mayor Hess to enter into an agreement with Savoy & Associates to provide services to assist the borough in the Collection of Motor Vehicle Taxes in cases where motor vehicles are registered illegally in other states by Naugatuck residents. 19. Mayor Hess led a discussion on the MIRA Smart Demonstration Project as discussed last month. He said there is a statewide problem regarding trash disposal that will come to a head in a few years. He does not favor putting the problem onto taxpayers. He would like to find a way to do it gradually. He said perhaps we could start using the SMART Program bags (Save Money and Reduce Trash Program) and gradually work into the program over a few years. The state is not going to fix it for us. We need to be smart about the problem. Deputy Mayor Jackson asked if we are giving residents any bags. -9- Minutes – Board of Mayor and Burgesses Regular Meeting – March 2, 2021 Mayor Hess said we need to train people to make changes gradually over a few years. Bags can be given but they would still need to buy bags. Burgess Neth said the subcommittee is looking at implementing the program in small steps. We need to educate people what the problem is right now and what the possible solutions can be in the future. The subcommittee would like to hold a public hearing. Mayor Hess said he wants the public hearing to inform people there will be a problem in the future and that we need to find a long term solution. Burgess Marenghi said the discussion forced him to examine trash in his own household. We need to act because the state is not going to do something. We need to educate the public on the options and get their feedback. Mayor Hess would like options presented to residents at a public hearing. Options that would gradually take us to a solution rather than make a requirement. Burgess Vitale asked if we want people to go to a pay as you throw philosophy instead of having the entire community pay for our needs as we do with fire and police. We should start now educating people of the importance of recycling. Send out monthly reminders. Burgess Herb feels the state betrayed us. He thinks the state should make MIRA stay open and rebuild or repair the plant. Mayor Hess said the cost to put the plant back would result in higher tipping fees for us. The state doesn’t have a solution. Volume reduction of trash is a good thing. Burgess Mizeski said maybe we could have a subsection of people in town put the program in place then discuss how it reduced the waste in their household and what impact it had on their finances. Burgess Bronko said he does not like the idea of putting this onto taxpayers without education first. Burgess DeOliveira said education is key to people understanding the problem. 20.
