14. New Business
A. Resolution Setting a Time and Place for a Public Hearing to Receive Citizen Input on an Amendment to the South Windsor Code of Ordinances, Chapter 74 - Parks and Recreation, Article II. Commission, Section 74-31. Established, Terms
B. Resolution Setting a Time and Place for a Public Hearing to Receive Citizen Input on Amendments to the South Windsor Code of Ordinances, Chapter 26. Civil Emergencies, Article I. In General, Article II. Civil Preparedness Director, Article III. Civil Preparedness Agency, and Article IV. Advisory Council
Mirek, Delnicki Snyder - Was this prepared by Town Attorney? Kari - Chief of Police Snyder - on section f - article 3 - the TM and the Director or Co-Director - (add in there - the State and Federal Government) Yagaloff - I agree with those comments. I was looking for theState Statutes and found them under Civil Preparedness, these do not match up with State Statutes. One concern 26-5 page 4 of 11 - emergency TM can authorize generla powers and duties - I agree with that. does not tell what the TC authority is. Doesn't give us the ability to make decisions? I would like the Council to get State Statute and would like TC to Kari - patterned after similiar ordinance - took what was provided to me and compared it to the Generla Statutes - also looked at existing ordinance and lifted language that seemed to be important to Town. Certainly this is a work in progress. what has been proposed is not inconsistent with statutes. Yagaloff - overall strong ordinance - TM making decision on emergency is important. not clear to me what the Town Council needs to do Galligan - any appropriation has to come to council Yagaloff - if similar emergency and TM made decision that TC did not agree, TC should be able to exercise its legislative authority - if council wanted to convene and make a decision. want checks and balances that are required. Kari - could have legislative powers put into the ordinance - emergency plan is what is really going to take steps. Yagaloff - maybe putting specifics into the legislative of council - subsection II - I would lie to see Meriden Ordinance. Delnicki - does the TC have the power to direct the TM by resolution at special mtg to do something or cease doing something? Kari - I don't see this ordinance as changing your legislative powers or the health and safety of this community. this empowers the TM to direct and give power during an emergency. It is and enabling ordinance rather then limiting. Delnicki - we could have emergency meeting - TC could take action to have something occur or not occur - Kari - you could direct the TM to Delnicki - seems to me that by having it framed in context - TC could address any situation. checks and balance would be there. Kari - think that is fair - ordinance doesn't take away the power of the Town Council. Delnicki - Havens - in his absence who would call an emergency? Kari - the Mayor or the TC would have the authoirty to declar an emergency. Manager would decide who would take over during an emergency. Galligan - ordinance is being expanded. Prague - Want the TM in the driver seat if there is an emergency - or the Chief or Jay. I don't want the Town Council to overrule you. When there is an emergency the TM is on their own for at least a week. Anything that takes away powr from the TM should be looked at very closely and hard. I believe in Mr. Galligan and I do't know why we need another ordinance. Wagner - one of the things that could happen is the emergency itself the TM may not be available. we have in place right now that if TM not available there would be someone else stand in that role. Do we have succession plan that would cover that situation. Kari - not in the ordinance but Matt may have a plan of his own. Galligan - those are our standard operating procedures. Wagner - who would be the TM? Emergency Operation Manager who is Matt Reed - if Fire or commander at the scene. changes depending on event. Kari - th enew proposed ordinance requires a succession plan. Galligan - when this is adopted - plan will be revised. Pendleton - first 72 is on you - FEMA have two weeks of supplies - concerned with are we creating a brand new ordinance or are we revising the old ordinance Galligan - basically revising the ordinance. Pendleton - we can write change the whole piece of paper to make is our town document. can we take emergency document and incorporate it into the ordinance Galligna - those are standard operations that the public should not know about. Pendleton - list councilor wagner mentioned is a chain of command by position. personalize for SW. best interst in the community - need clarification on page 10B - this is a paragraph that someone who owns proprty in town can grant that propeerty to the town. is that is what is being said. Kari - it is only voluntary and there is nocondensation - if you allow someone to stay in your home you are not liability. Galligna - the reason why some of this is in there is because if you have frail peopel you have assisted living situations. Pendleton - document (state statutes) I would like the citizens to know wea re going to specialize this for SW. Does this document giv ethe town the authorizty to search and seize their homes/property. Kari - no. Anwar - this started 2 1/2 years ago - CERT Team - Civil Preparedness Advisory Committee - were both needed in the ordinance. This document is more comprehensive then other areas. This is an enhancement - federal part added has value. Snyder - if disaster happens, TM is our CEO - I want the person who runs this town to be responsible for any emergency that happens. standard operating procedure should not be known by the public. Yagaloff - reiterate - agree with what peoplre are saying - work on one section is important. Judgement of the manager shallb e the sole - etc. "sole criteria" - (including to make decisions of the Town Manager). Down the road Matt will not be here. Do not want to interfere - do not want to give up our legislative authority. Mirek - don't think we would be giving up legislative authority. Kari - that is correct.- the ordinance in front of you is not in the State Statutes - caution that parts of this ordinance needs to be in this documents. Delnicki - Mark up a copy so we know what has to be in the ordinance and could not be modified. Kari - the statues that talkes about local municipal emergency is not that long.. Can provide Statutes Delnicki - would like it because could provide information Snyder - do we want the Town Attorney to go thorugh and do all of this. Anwar - Town Attorney has already gone through and drafted ordinance. Wagner - very happy with this. Some instances State Statues over rule - how do powers interactive with this oridnanc.e Galligan - during last disaster - equipment is shared also Pendleton -this is part of the state statute and town of meriden - state laws - are those laws part of the government laws? Kari - large part - consistent with state law - only time problem is when Pendleton - did you take state law further to make sure part of federal law? Kari - no Anwar - local community is first line of defense Anwar - vote is on public hearing - discussion was critical - what we will do is we will actually make changes (state/Federal) and (Counciilor Yagaloff going tomake suggested change which will be sent to staff and make sure appropriate) if we get green light from TA then the TC will receive copy unanimous
C. Resolution Establishing a South Windsor Agriculture, Arts, and Nature Center Committee for the Priest Property

People felt important to discuss the long term - felt we should bring to TC and get everyone on board Snyder - this project is one of those vision projects - when happens it takes a long time, commitment, money and community members. This is one thing that will make SW a more high quality place to live. Getting the study done is first step and very important. urge local groups to hold different ways of donating funds to this. Would like to be member on this. We are looking at writing grants for this project. Havens - this was a great buy. now we have ability to have a hidden gem. will support. Dlenicki - this is the heritage of the community. great iidea. will be supporting Anwar - will be serving on it also. Wagner - can't wait to see it happen - sugget making temporary committee with Snyder - feel it needs to go forever Wagner - 4 council members really needed - may consider having two. 2 from each political party - no more then 2 from any party. Pendleton - attended the first meeting - wonderful meeting - so many peopel have interest in this. town staff was also excited. I would like to volunteer t o be on committee yagaloff - like the change to say 4 members from any political party) Wagner - do we have four people who are interested in this? Anwar - Snyder, Delnicki, Anwar and Pendleton all interested. Wagner - bothers me that we don't have permanent committee for anything else. Mirek - this may take several years to come to fruition. For now think should have permanent committee Delnicki - oversee, evolve and improves. only going to grow with permanent committee. Wagner - change woding at end of AMENDMENT Friendly unanimous
