At a glance: key votes — union contract, Eversource letter, flag request, grants and refunds
Summary
The South Windsor Town Council approved a non‑supervisory employee contract, authorized a letter to PURA regarding an Eversource rate request, approved a Pride flag request and several routine fiscal items, and passed an ordinance repeal related to planning & zoning member disqualifications.
The council took a series of routine and policy actions during the meeting.
Labor agreement: The council approved an agreement between the Town of South Windsor and the South Windsor Non Supervisory Professional Employees Union (NIPSEU affiliate) covering 07/01/2026–06/30/2029; Deputy Mayor Paterna spoke in support and the resolution passed unanimously.
Eversource rate increase: Councilors reviewed a draft response to Eversource’s application (the packet stated an approximate 11% requested increase). After suggested edits to emphasize municipal impacts, the council approved sending a mayor‑and‑town‑manager‑signed letter to the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA), allowing final wording edits by the mayor and town manager.
Flag and grants: The council approved a request to fly the Pride flag June 15–30, 2026, and approved a $5,000 transfer from contingency to the South Windsor mini‑grant account to support Clap House preservation work; Deputy Mayor Paterna recused himself from the Clap House vote because of prior board membership.
Other actions: The council approved seven tax refunds totaling $1,396.95 and took two readings/appointments on parks and recreation commission members (some items were postponed to a future meeting for corrections). The council also unanimously repealed section 2‑1‑199 of the town code (which had disqualified insurance and real‑estate agents from serving on the Planning & Zoning Commission).
