Council confirms museum and Fair Rent Commission appointments, adopts honorary Sadler Way designation
Summary
The council approved appointments to the Fair Rent Commission and the Danbury Museum board and adopted a resolution to honorary designate Wallingford Road as Sadler Way; public praise for the appointees and family remarks accompanied the votes.
At its July 1 meeting the Danbury City Council confirmed two mayoral appointments and adopted an honorary street designation.
A communication recommending Barbara Nasrach for appointment to the Fair Rent Commission was read; Councilman Rickert moved to receive and approve the nomination and the council approved the motion by voice vote.
The mayor also nominated Sydney Putnam to the Danbury Museum and Historical Society board. Jeff Harold urged the council to confirm Putnam, calling her “a wonderful addition to the Danbury Authority.” Councilman Hawley moved to approve the appointment; council members voted unanimously in favor.
Separately, the council adopted an ad hoc recommendation to honorary designate Wallingford Road as Sadler Way to recognize the Sadler family’s contributions. Councilman Shanice spoke in support and suggested the airport administration and the Danbury Museum Authority work on a commemorative plaque to accompany the designation. The motion passed by voice vote.
All three measures were approved by voice vote; no recorded tallies were provided in the meeting transcript.
The council did not attach additional conditions to the appointments; appointees will be seated according to the authorities’ usual processes.
