The Board of Selectpersons approved several routine but consequential items at its meeting, including a $75,000 contract for the town’s 10‑year plan of conservation and development, LOSIP funding for road repairs and a slate of appointments across town boards and commissions.
The board voted to authorize the first selectwoman to execute a $75,000 agreement with the Nogatuck Valley Council of Government (listed in the packet) to perform a community assessment, demographic and land‑use review, mapping and community engagement work needed to update the town plan. Board members confirmed the town will participate in stakeholder surveys and noted the deadline for the plan.
The Department of Public Works requested and received board approval to use LOSIP funds in the amount of $15,000 for road repairs. The board also approved a recommended preferred tree‑vendor list from the public works director.
Multiple personnel actions were taken by unanimous votes: appointments and reappointments to the Affordable Housing Commission, Board of Fire Commissioners, Conservation Commission, Economic Development Commission (including an alternate), municipal agent and zoning board of appeals were accepted; members noted some term‑expiration dates on the packet needed correction and asked staff to update records.
