The Warren Town Council convened on September 9, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including a collaborative agreement with the Town of Bristol and a follow-up on employee time management costs.

The meeting began with a motion to approve the previous meeting's minutes, which passed with a majority vote, despite one member expressing opposition.

The primary focus of the meeting was a discussion regarding a mutual aid collaboration agreement between the Town of Warren and the Town of Bristol concerning building officials. The Town of Bristol has approached Warren to share building inspection resources following the retirement of their building official. The proposal involves Warren's building official mentoring Bristol's new hire, who requires additional certification. In exchange, Bristol will provide inspectors to assist in Warren.

Council members expressed support for the agreement, highlighting its potential to alleviate the workload of Warren's building official, especially with several significant projects on the horizon, including developments on Penny Lane and Crowder Street. The arrangement is expected to enhance efficiency without incurring additional costs for either town.

After thorough discussion, the council moved to approve the collaboration, with a request for the solicitors from both towns to work on the logistics of the memorandum of understanding. The motion passed unanimously.

The meeting concluded with a brief mention of a follow-up on employee time management costs, although no detailed discussion was recorded in the transcript. Overall, the council's discussions reflected a proactive approach to resource sharing and operational efficiency in response to community development needs.
