At its Feb. 25 meeting the Board of Selectmen recorded the following formal actions and procedural decisions.
Minutes: The board approved the minutes of the Feb. 11, 2026 Board of Selectmen and Water Pollution Control Authority meeting by voice vote.
Appointment: Under Connecticut General Statutes §9-199b the board voted to appoint Lee Caney as an alternate member of the Westport Board of Assessment Appeals, with a term commencing immediately and extending through March 31, 2027. Paul Fria, the assessor, recommended Caney based on prior service on the Board of Finance.
Sanitary sewer connection (22 Owen Oak Park): Brian Thompson, WPCA general manager, presented a request to approve a supplemental sanitary sewer connection to allow a detached one-bedroom accessory dwelling unit. Thompson said the owner will be responsible for a half-unit assessment of $3,463.24 (to be levied 07/01/2027) and a half-unit I&I abatement fee of $3,964.59 to be collected upon approval; the board approved the request.
WPCA assessments schedule: The WPCA asked the board to set a date to consider and determine final benefit assessments for Contract TownBid23-068T (a town sewer project affecting multiple streets). The board agreed to a March 25 hearing date so benefit assessments can be levied on July 1, 2026. The action was recorded as the board agreeing to the date rather than a formal roll-call vote.
Adjournment: The board moved and seconded to adjourn; the meeting closed after the motion passed by voice vote.
These items were taken up with standard procedural motions and recorded voice approvals in the meeting transcript; no contested roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
