Mayor Hess read aloud the “Lissencephaly Awareness Day” proclamation and presented it to Naomi Maponyane, the mother of a child with Lissencephaly. 8. VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Neth and seconded by Burgess Bronko that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses add to the agenda an extension of the lease for the property on Andrew Mountain with Sunset Farm. Kaitlyn Kimball, co-owner of Sunset Farm, discussed the progress of farming on the land at Andrew Mountain. Their business has doubled since leasing the land from the town. They are able to donate to the Naugatuck Valley Soup Kitchen because they have more growing space. Four youths from Naugatuck Youth Services worked on the farm for six weeks. In addition, eight students from the Yale Harvest Program camped on the farm for four days. Ms. Kimball would like to extend the lease with the town because there are federal grant opportunities if they have a more secure land tenure. They are driving five 275 gallon truckloads of water each day to the land. She would like to invest in a well. Installing a solar powered well is very expensive. Ms. Kimball said they are very thankful for the support. They do not know what they would do without this land. VOTED: Unanimously on a motion by Deputy Mayor Neth and seconded by Burgess Mizeski that the Board of Mayor and Burgesses authorize Mayor Hess to enter a ten year extension of the existing lease with Sunset Farm. 9.

NAC Chief Kyle Kelley gave the monthly update on the Naugatuck Ambulance Corps (NAC). He said it has been two years since this endeavor with the ambulance corps. A new ambulance will be going into service. He said they are pressing on doing great things. For the record: Chief Kelley: “I’m very, very proud of where we are and what we’ve done with the support from Mayor Hess, the Board of Burgesses, our Board of Directors, the community as well as all of our teammates that we have working for us. We’ve come leap years. It’s just amazing the things that we’ve turned around in town. I want to thank everybody there for the support.” 11. DPW Director Jim Stewart said there is $200,000 in an account for Town Wide Sidewalk Improvements. As directed, he put out to bid for sidewalk repairs/replacement. The bids will open on September 19th. He hopes to have a recommendation for the board at the October monthly meeting. Mayor Hess said this is a pilot program where they will try to create a formula to move forward with replacing sidewalks in the entire town.  -3- Minutes – Board of Mayor and Burgesses Regular Meeting – September 5, 2023 12. Mayor Hess discussed the first draft of the Facade Improvement Program. He told Attorney Fitzpatrick to make a few changes to the draft business plan. The first change he would like made is that the money is not ARPA money but TIF money. The second change is that whatever dollar amount the business spends on improvements to their facade, the town would implement an incentive plan to forgive half the amount. The money would be given in the form of a loan format up to fifty percent, up front, instead of making them wait five years to receive half the amount. The mayor said this way they do not have to put one hundred percent up front, making it more of an incentive to make the improvements. He would like Attorney Fitzpatrick to email the revised document to the board to review. The areas to be in the initial Facade Improvement Program are the TIF District, especially Rubber Avenue, North Main Street, Spring Street to Diamond Street, and Bridge Street. 13.

Mayor Hess asked Human Resources Director John Lawlor and Labor Attorney Nicholas Grello to attend the meeting tonight to discuss the Pension Restructure Plan. He gave some background on the Pension Restructure Plan for the record and the reason why it was being discussed tonight. For the record: Mayor Hess: “I just want to note for the record that several burgesses have sent me an email that states a lot of misinformation about our Pension Restructure Plan. As we know, in 2012 the borough eliminated pensions. No one after 2012 is eligible for a pension. Previously even, there was bonding for the past two pension debt. Two years ago, we got permission from the state legislature who changed the law and allow us to restructure our pension debt. So that not only the people in the plan up to now but all of their benefits into the future were calculated and determined because we now know who is left, what their life expectancies are and we know their spouse’s life expectancies. We calculated the total amount that could be owed until the end of the plan and we restructured our debt in a manner where we saved $1.2 million a year on our pension contribution. When someone says that we are spending more money, they’re wrong. We’re not spending any additional money when we’ve already paid everything through the end of the pension plan, which means Naugatuck Connecticut will be the first town in Connecticut to have zero pension debt at some point in the future. Number two, someone raised a question that what we did was illegal and it’s not, because we did it by mutual agreement. Had we mandated it against the will of the unions, it could have been argued to be illegal but we didn’t. We did it by mutual agreement. I would submit that the allegations in the whistleblower’s emails are clearly inaccurate but I don’t want you to just listen to me.” Attorney Nicholas Grello reviewed the collective bargaining contract and the whistleblower’s email. One of the allegations in the email was that the contract was illegally opened. The collective bargaining agreement was not opened, modified or changes made to the contract. He said the borough and the union mutually agreed to the incentive agreement. Attorney Grello determined nothing illegal was done. 22.
