Public Comment Park Commission Chairwoman Linda Ramos thanked the mayor and burgesses for allowing the Gunntown Kids Program. She said it has been a successful program for five years. 7. VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Neth and seconded by Burgess Mudry that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses approve the appointment of Manuel J. Silva (U), 4 Brighton Road, Naugatuck, CT 06770 as a member of the Water Pollution Control Authority, filling the expired term of R. Merancy, term to expire February 1, 2026. Mayor Hess swore in Manuel J. Silva as a member of the Water Pollution Control Authority. 8. Chief Kyle Kelley gave his monthly update on the Naugatuck Ambulance Corps (NAC). He said there were some significant calls this past month. Employees have been coming in on their off time to help when the department was busy. They attended the finance board meeting to discuss the upcoming fiscal year budget. 9. Mr. Jeremy Lynch from Bird Rides, Inc. gave a presentation on Bird Scooters. A bird scooter is a two-wheeled electric stand up scooter. He said there is no cost to the borough. Potential riders need to download the app, sign a user agreement, add their credit card information, go through tutorial education instructions and then they are able to ride. The cost is $1.00 to access the scooter and perhaps forty-nine cents a minute afterward. The charge per minute is to be determined. Bird scooters are very well balanced and have a top speed of 15 mph. Helmets are not required. Riders need to be eighteen years old or older. All riders must follow the rules of the road. Riders sign a member agreement regarding the risk of riding. Operating ride zones will be determined. Riders must stay in the ride zone area or the bird scooter will cease operating. A rider can leave the scooter at their destination. They must take a picture and send it through the app. The hours of operation are 5 a.m. to midnight. There is a headlight, taillights and reflectors on each bird scooter. A fleet manager will be hired to manage the bird scooters in town. Mr. Lynch said they prefer to hire someone from an established business in town. The manager or their staff picks up scooters at various locations and recharges them for the next rider. Managers receive a percentage of the ridership. Mr. Lynch stated the managers are responsible for the maintenance of the bird scooters. Scooters are a good use with transit stops. The board will receive the same data on ridership that the company sees. VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Neth and seconded by Burgess Mudry that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses authorize Mayor Hess to execute an agreement with Bird Rides, Inc., 406 Broadway #369, Santa Monica, CA 90401 subject to legal review and public safety approval by Chief Colin McAllister or his designee in the police department.  -3- Minutes – Board of Mayor and Burgesses Regular Meeting – April 5, 2022 10. Civitas Networks CEO Jerry Kirshman, Civitas CRO Luke Angelus and William Finch made a presentation on a Town Wide Broadband Project. This is a public/private partnership. Internet is delivered at a lower cost. Poles would be a thousand feet apart and are adaptable for future technology. If a pole is not possible, it can be on a building or light pole. They are only talking about broadband at the moment. There are ranges for speed, higher for businesses. Coverage to the entire town would take a year. A rough cost estimate for the entire system is eleven million dollars. Grants and investors are available. Assuming twenty-five percent of Naugatuck residents participate, it would take seven to ten years payback time. There will be talks with Waterbury to see if we can regionalize. Mayor Hess said a team consisting of Controller Allyson Bruce, Assistant Controller Eileen Cornacchia, IT Director Jim Kallipolites, Finance Board Chairman Dan Sheridan, Finance Board member James Higgins, Burgess Jan Mizeski, Burgess Charley Marenghi, Burgess Dorothy Neth-Kunin and Burgess Meghan Smith will look into the proposal. 11. Police Chief Colin McAllister, Lieutenant Derek Vostinak and Sang Hwang from PayByPhone gave a presentation on a Downtown Parking Phone App. There has been a problem with cars parking downtown all day despite two hour parking limits on Church Street. Business owners have complained to the police deprtment that people are violating the two-hour parking signage. Chief McAllister said the phone app is the best option they have come up with to help with the situation. The traditional parking meter system is more expensive to implement than the phone app. The hope is to change the behavior of the long-term parkers, not to make money for the borough by charging for parking. Mr. Hwang said there is a $500 set up fee for the app and a $500 set up fee for the phone system. The cost to park was discussed but not determined. The app will show where people are parking and for how long. 12. VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Neth and seconded by Burgess Mizeski that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses award the bid for the “Fireworks Display” to Central Maine Pyrotechnics, d/b/a Pyro City Maine, P.O.

VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Neth and seconded by Burgess Smith that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses add to the agenda for discussion on a nine-hole disc golf at Andrew Mountain Park. VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Neth and seconded by Burgess Neth-Kunin that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses have a discussion/possible action on a nine hole disc golf course at Andrew Mountain Park. Mayor Hess said there has been a lot of interest in disc golf. A disc golf course could be located in the active area at Andrew Mountain Park, not in the conservation area. Disc golf is a game where discs are thrown into a series of baskets. There are various types of baskets such as Baby Bear, Mama Bear and Papa Bear. The course will be designed through the meadows, into the woods and possibly over a pond. The park department would design the course. The price range is $4,800 to $6,300 for materials and installation. Mayor Hess said it is a small amount of money for a really cool thing. The board discussed if the course would be open to the public, if teams would be formed to play in tournaments and if sponsorship could be obtained for the baskets. The mayor said we could do any or all of those ideas. Many questions need to be refined. VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Neth and seconded by Burgess Mudry that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses authorize the mayor working with the park and recreation department to implement a nine hole disc golf course utilizing Sherry Boyd and Sven Dowling in an amount not to exceed $6,700 from the Town Clerk’s Local Capital Improvement Fund. 28.

VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Neth and seconded by Burgess Neth-Kunin that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses authorize Mayor Hess to acquire three parcels of land from the Connecticut Water Company as discussed in executive session for the total sum of $117,000. For the record: Mayor Hess: “These are parcels that we’ve discussed many times in the past. We are acquiring land adjacent to DelGobbo Field. We will be expanding DelGobbo Field. There will be an additional field on one of the parcels. We’ll also be doing walking trails that will essentially connect the Candee Reservoir to the Mulberry Reservoir. And, we will otherwise be conserving the land for conservation purposes. We’re able to acquire the land at very reasonable prices below market value because of some tax incentives that are offered to the water company by Save the Sound. This is a water company project where they’ve been authorized to transfer land that they own so it’s been ratified by the state. It’s a very, very good deal for us. I’m thrilled to have walking trails on the east side of Naugatuck because we’ve done a ton on the west side and this is a beautiful spot for trails.” VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Neth and seconded by Burgess Smith that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses accept a deed in lieu of taxes for real property located at 0 Beacon Manor Road, Assessor’s Parcel #053-3550, the current arrearage on the lot is $9,824.48.  -13- Minutes – Board of Mayor and Burgesses Regular Meeting – April 5, 2022 VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Neth and seconded by Burgess Mudry that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses authorize Mayor Hess to sell and transfer parcel #053-3550 to Equity Property Management LLC by quit claim deed for the purchase price of $5,000.
