At its Sept. 23 meeting the Waterbury Board of Aldermen approved a $3.825 million budget transfer, multiple construction and professional services contracts, on‑call HVAC agreements, and tax refund authorizations after committee recommendations; one member recused on the transfer vote.
The Waterbury Board of Aldermen on Sept. 23 approved a slate of budget transfers, contracts and program agreements recommended by committee, including a $3,825,000 transfer from capital improvement and other funds and a $4,498,368 construction contract for the North Main Street pump station.
The finance committee recommended and the board approved a budget transfer of $3,825,000 for FY 2024 capital improvements. Alderman Moseley recused himself from the item and later explained for the record that he currently serves as treasurer for the Waterbury Promise board.
The intergovernmental committee approved several contracts and agreements that the full board adopted on consent, among them: a $254,500 construction contract with Superior Electric LLC for traffic signal reimaging; a professional services agreement with Connecticut Junior Republic Association Inc. (not to exceed $600,000) for school‑based clinic programs; a College Board agreement (not to exceed $101,305.76) to administer PSAT/SAT assessments; and a contract with JA Rosa Construction LLC for the North Main Street pump station in the amount of $4,498,368.
The board also approved two on‑call HVAC service contracts to ensure multiple qualified vendors are available for different tasks; director of public works David Simpson said task orders and purchase orders will allow staff to choose the best vendor for each situation, including response time and specialty needs.
Other approvals included drainage and infrastructure contracts (Mohawk Street drainage improvements at $154,490; infrastructure repair service contract at $302,131) and amendments or extensions for various school and health‑related professional services. Committee chairs summarized that most items had minimal debate; several aldermen asked timeline and budget questions and received responses from department staff.
The board closed its business with announcements about community events, requests for follow‑ups on local issues (including a report on tax‑exempt properties and an update on Abbot Terrace), and adjournment.
