Vitale K. Kiernan Motion carried 9-0-0 9. Mayor Hess discussed a proposed Cotton Hollow Recreation Area. There is property owned by the LANXESS Corporation where a pumping station is located. It pumps water from the brook to the Uniroyal site. The borough is acquiring this additional piece of land when we acquire the LANXESS property. It is directly across the street from Cotton Hollow Field and the commuter parking lot. The mayor said it is a very interesting and beautiful piece of property. The land is flat and goes to a stream. It is a prized fishing area stocked by the state. The mayor said we will clean the area in-house and add picnic tables. Parking on site can be created in addition to a cross walk. 10. Mayor Hess met with the police, fire and street departments to come up with a plan for Church Street/Outdoor Dining/One Way Traffic. It was proposed that Church Street become one-way starting at the green and heading to Rubber Avenue. The traffic light will be shut off and stop signs will be added to the intersection. The travel lane will be more than eighteen feet to accommodate a fire truck and apparatus. We will not be able to do angled parking; the road is not wide enough. There will be less parking spots on Church Street with the outdoor dining structures. We do not know the number of restaurants that will commit to participate. He said 66 Church Street is very interested in building a high- end outdoor dining area. La Casita Cantina & Restaurant is also interested. Anyone that wants to build a structure needs permission to build an aesthetically pleasing structure that is safe. The police department will put limitations on the amount of time to park on Church Street and in the municipal parking lot. People who work downtown have a tendency to park all day downtown limiting parking spots for people wanting to patronize  -6- Minutes – Board of Mayor and Burgesses Regular Meeting – June 1, 2021 businesses. One solution is to create unlimited free parking in the Naugatuck Event Center parking lot. Burgesses were not in favor of charging for parking downtown. There was a proposal to reverse the one-way direction of Park Place. Lieutenant Derek Vostinak did a traffic study on the proposals. He said there are no issues with changing Church Street to one-way. He recommends keeping Park Place the way it is now. Mayor Hess said this is an interim plan while we are going out for an RFQ on Parcel B. There will be some additional changes as the project is developed. The borough is working toward creating a vibrant downtown. Mayor Hess said a committee of bicycle enthusiasts will be established to recommend where to locate bike lanes in town. A bike rack will be installed downtown. The mayor met with the state this past week and they discussed moving the train station platform sooner than later. 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 proceed with implementing the interim plan to convert Church Street one-way with no paid parking downtown and to adjust the plan as necessary. 11.

Mayor Hess appointed Burgess Kimberly Kiernan as a member of the Bulk Trash Subcommittee replacing Burgess Jack DeOliveira. Burgess Bronko asked about the status of the roundabout project on Rubber Avenue and the bricks on the Maple Street Bridge.  -16- Minutes – Board of Mayor and Burgesses Regular Meeting – June 1, 2021 Mayor Hess said the roundabout project is proceeding and going out to bid. The majority of people want the bricks to remain on the Maple Street Bridge. There will be yearly maintenance on the bricks but they will never be one hundred percent perfect. Deputy Mayor Taf Jackson congratulated Jill Mahoney. She said it was a nice Memorial Day Parade. Burgess Dambowsky thanked the Veterans Council for organizing the parade. Nice day. Burgess Marenghi thanked the Veterans Council for doing a wonderful job with the Memorial Day Parade and ceremony. The Arts Commission concerts will begin June 22nd and run through the summer to September 17th. He asked when employees would be returning to work and town hall opening. Mayor Hess said town hall never closed. It has been opened since the start of the pandemic. People either have to make an appointment to go to a department or be greeted in the lobby. Each department is different. All employees have been working the entire time. Mayor Hess has not received one complaint that a service or request has not be fulfilled. He feels the town is running more efficiently. Burgess Kiernan said her son is looking for a scouting project. She asked if anyone had any recommendations. She is a Scout Master for a female scout troop. They are looking for girls to join so Naugatuck will have their own troop. Burgess Mizeski said great job on the Memorial Day Parade. 48.
