DRAFT MINUTES
Canton Board of Selectmen Meeting
Community Center Room F
40 Dyer Avenue Canton, CT
Thursday, October 13, 2016 7:00pm
The meeting was called to order at 7:06pm. Members present were: Tom Sevigny, Beth
Kandrysawtz, Chair Leslee Hill, and William Canny. Also present was Chief Administrative
Officer Robert Skinner. Larry Minichiello was absent.
1. Pledge of Allegiance: Chair Leslee Hill led the pledge of allegiance.
2. Public Participation:
a. Bob Barnes, 97a Dyer Avenue, President of the Canton Little League, made brief
remarks concerning the possible paving of Millennium Field. Mr. Barnes is in favor
of paving the parking lot, stating it would add additional parking spaces, would
improve the efficiency of parking, and would benefit the town because the lot would
be able to be paved fully and used for overflow parking. The police department has
contacted Mr. Barnes about doing something concerning the parking and people
parking along the street. Little League did a test earlier this year with spray painted
parking lines in the parking lot to see if they could maximize the parking. The effect
helped but did not seem to completely satisfy the situation. Canton Little League
would be willing to contribute some funding to the parking lot project if necessary.
Mr. Barnes thanked the town and the departments that they have worked with
concerning this project.
b. Stan Kranowski, 625 Cherry Brook Road, agreed with Mr. Barnes that the new
parking lot would do a lot to help parking. Mr. Kranowski praised Bob Martin and
the Public Works crew and stated there has not been a better group to work with.
3. Appointments/Resignations

5. Consideration of Old Business:
Approval of Board of Selectmen Minutes: September 7, 2016 Special
Meeting. B. Kandrysawtz moved to approve the Board of Selectmen
Minutes September 7, 2016 Special Meeting. T. Sevigny seconded. The
vote passed unanimously.
6. Consideration of New Business: Chair L. Hill suggested moving the Canton Boy Scouts
to the first order under New Business since there were boy scouts in attendance.
a. Review proposal by the Canton Boy Scouts Troop #177 to have repairs,
maintenance and code updates completed to North Canton Grange though a
cooperative effort of the Town and Boy Scouts and enter into a long term
agreement with the Boy Scouts for non-exclusive use of the facility: Robert
Skinner reminded the board how several years ago the grange was transferred to
the town as a gift, with restrictions; the building must be used for municipal use,
civic use, or community use. At the time the building was in rustic shape. The
septic tank needed to be replaced, asbestos had to be removed, a new water pump
was needed, a new roof and front door were needed, as well as other minor
repairs. There are more repairs needed then there are donations pay for them.
The Boy Scouts approached Robert Skinner concerning a long-term relationship
of in-kind services and possible donations for use of the grange as a meeting
place. In order to be ADA compliant a ramp would need to be put in, as well as
two bathrooms in the main floor, the fire stairway needs to be replaced, the
asbestos in the walls needs to be removed, and the drop ceilings need to be
removed. Part of the proposal also includes replacing the old one pane windows.
The cost would be $144,929.66 most of which were based on actual quotes. The
Boy Scouts’ in-kind contributions would total about 26% of what is needed for
the building. This would be a license agreement which could be terminated at
any time. This would not be exclusive use for the Boy Scouts, and other groups
would be able to schedule time at the building when the Boy Scouts are not using
it. William Canny asked where the Boy Scouts were meeting now. Mr. Barnes
answered they are meeting at the Congregational Church but it is not the best
Page 3 of 7
environment for the scouts and there are other groups meeting there as well. Mr.
Canny asked how much the grange is worth. Robert Skinner stated it is assessed
for $395,386 but that seemed a little high to him. The property is 5.4 acres but all
except 1.9 acres is wetlands. It costs about $4,500 annually for maintenance cost
including heat, electricity, etc... Beth Kandrysawtz asked about the meeting room
next door to the grange in the North Canton Fire Station. The meeting room is set
up more like a school room. Ms. Kandrysawtz appreciated the investment the
Boy Scouts were willing to make, but felt it was still a lot of money for the town
to invest. Tom Sevigny commented if the town did not get it up to code it would
just sit there and waste away. Mr. Sevigny doubted the state had money to put
into the building if the town relinquished it to the State Grange. Chair Leslee Hill
stated that everything proposed is bare minimum to comply with ADA
regulations, and it made sense to do the windows as well if the town is paying for
the heat. Ms. Hill asked if there are other groups interested in using the facility as
well. Mr. Skinner does not know about other groups but the Girl Scouts and Cub
Scouts have shown an interest. The board was not sure that they had heard
anything during the course of the evening that would make this a special
appropriation situation, and usually the Board of Finance would have to review
this kind of proposal. The board felt they would like more information from the
State of Grange concerning: what they might do with the building if it was
returned to them; would they possibly remove the use restrictions on the building
for the town? There was no vote on the topic, which was tabled the November 3,
2016 Regular Meeting.
b. Review and possible acceptance of the Preliminary Tax Increment Financing
Master Plan from the Temporary Tax Incremental Financing Master Plan
Advisory Committee: Gary Roman, Chair of the Advisory Committee, was
present to give the board the committee’s findings. The Committee was
established in 2016 in order to form a TIF district which would have its own set of
rules. This took advantage of Public Act 15-57 passed in 2015. The Committee
consists of Bill Volovski, Shawn Cole, Larry Minichiello, Tom Sevigny, Tyla
Permenter, and Gary Roman. The town invested $20,000 in a consultant group,
Camoin Associates, to assist in the TIF Master Plan. The person assisting the
Canton TIF Committee is stationed in Maine, where they have been taking
advantage of the TIF program for years and this person has done about 300 such
assists. On September 29 the committee reviewed the TIF Master Plan by
Camoin Associates. It was then brought to the public for review, which marked
the end of the TIF Committee’s process. This is a preliminary plan, the
committee can make suggestions, but a buyer and the seller of the property in
question (the Mills Complex) have not come together yet. Through the TIF
process there are now possibly four or five buyers interested in the property. The
property sits on 19 acres of land and has 25 buildings. The current taxes for the
property are $32,000, fully developed buildings would produce over $1,000,000
in taxes. Once there is a purchase and sale agreement or an option agreement,
that particular buyer can come back to the Town and try to work with the town for
a TIF Master Plan for that particular building. The Committee’s work product is
called the Collinsville Company Complex Preliminary TIF Master Plan. There
Page 4 of 7
were public meetings, which many people attended. The property has inherent
site work challenges that cost $10 million to $14 million. Without the TIF project
the site would be undevelopable. The developer will share between 25% to 50%
of the anticipated new taxes over a 20 year period. Other tools can be utilized
such as revenue bonds, which is not necessarily the recommendation. The Board
of Selectmen would review any plan, then pass it to the Board of Finance. The
development would have to go through all regular committees such as Planning
and Zoning. The Committee will remain active for the time being in order to have
town meetings to explain to the public what the TIF Master Plan is and what it
will do. B. Kandrysawtz moved to approve the acceptance of the Preliminary
Tax Increment Financing Master Plan from the Temporary Tax Incremental
Financing Master Plan Advisory Committee. W. Canny seconded. The vote
passed unanimously. c. Review request by the Canton Little League to pave the parking lot at Millennium
Field: Robert Martin and George Wallace of the Public Works Department were
on hand to answer questions. Bob Barnes summarized the situation earlier in the
evening in the Public Participation section. Many things have been tried to make
the parking at the field more efficient including painting lines on the gravel for
parking spaces. The field is looking for a paved parking lot which would have ten
additional parking spaces and another entrance on the other side of the lot.
Pavement management has a little money left over this year, and it could be used
for the Little League parking area. Public Works will be working on drainage and
repaving on Simmonds Road, and there are still a few small things to clean up on
West Mountain Road. The Public Works Department felt they could do the work
on the Little League Field while they are doing Simmonds Avenue. There are
two other roads that need immediate work in town; Freedom Road and Country
Road. Chair Leslee Hill was concerned about putting resources into the field
when there is road work that needs to be done. Ms. Hill has had a lot of input
from the public concerning problem roads in town. Bob Martin explained that
doing the field in-house would save money and the price of asphalt is low right
now. William Canny saw it as a safety concern, the roads are important but the
overflow from the parking lot is going into Simmonds Avenue and Gildersleeve
Avenue. If the town can get more parking spots it is a good thing. The original
quote was a little over $30,000 but that does not include the optional second exit,
which can be done without or added later. Beth Kandrysawtz was also concerned
about people in town being concerned about their roads not being redone but a
ball field parking lot being paved. The application for the Inland Wetlands
Watercourse Commission was being accepted that evening. The parking lot
would still have to go through the Wetlands and Planning and Zoning
Commissions. Chair Leslee Hill suggested putting the project in next year’s CIP
budget, which would make the project more transparent for the public. The item
was tabled for a future meeting until after the Wetlands application is considered
by the Wetlands Committee.
d. Acceptance of a grant in the amount of $500.00 from the Connecticut Fair Plan to
partially fund a cameral for the Fire Marshal’s Office and refer to the Board of
Finance: W. Canny moved to approve the acceptance of a grant in the
Page 5 of 7
amount of $500.00 from the Connecticut Fair Plan to partially fund a camera
for the Fire Marshal’s Office and refer to the Board of Finance. B.
Kandrysawtz seconded. The vote passed unanimously. e. Review and possibly adopt the Transfer Station Policies for calendar year 2017:
Chief Administrative Officer Robert Skinner explained every year the this item
comes through the Board of Selectmen for approval. Bob Martin stated this year
was a unique because the Transfer Station went from being open from 5 days a
week to 3 days a week and we open later in the summer. Towards the middle of
the summer they saw people utilizing the longer hours, which was what they were
hoping for. Tom Sevigny asked if there were any complaints about the 3 day
week. Marginal, the swap shack people were a little annoyed. Being open
Thursday night was helpful for people going away for the weekend. Leslee Hill
asked how long of a wait there was during peak time. Bob Martin responded 5 to
10 minutes at most. Recycling rates were really flat at first, but they are starting
to see an increase. Robert Skinner commented that the year-end balances looked
as though the Transfer Station would break even. T. Sevigny moved to adopt
the Transfer Station Policies for calendar year 2017. W. Canny seconded.
The vote passed unanimously. f. Request to waive the bid procedures pursuant to the Board of Selectmen Purchase
Policies for a $38,604 proposal from Clear Span to construct a roof over the bulky
waste containers at the Transfer Station: The town has been cited in the past for
not having the oil and antifreeze covered at the Transfer Station. Other towns
have been cited for not having their bulky waste covered and it is just a matter of
time before Canton will be cited. It is better to have the bulky wasted covered
anyway. In 2013 Department of Public Works renovated the bulky waste and set
up preparation for a canopy, but it was put off. In 2015 it was reviewed again and
the cost had changed quite a bit. The cheapest would be a little over $65,000. A
representative from Clear Span came out and measured the area and would charge
$38,000. William Canny asked if this was accepted tonight how long would it
take Clear Span take to complete the project. It would take 4-6 weeks for the
materials and the representative would be there working with the DPW to put the
structure up. B. Kandrysawtz moved to the request to waive the bid
procedures pursuant to the Board of Selectmen Purchase Policies for a
$38,604 proposal form Clear Span to construct a roof over the bulky waste
containers at the Transfer Station. W. Canny seconded. The vote passed
unanimously. g. Review and possibly approve a request by the Temporary Fire/EMS Facility
Study Committee to hire Silver Petrucelli and Associates as the consulting firm to
assist Town Officials with the needs assessment and conceptual design of the
Collinsville Fire Station: The Temporary Fire/EMS Facility Committee want to
hire a consultant to help with the plans to renovate the existing station or build a
new one. They really need to bring in professionals and do a feasibility study
including a floor plan and a location study. The committee received 6-7
responses and recommend Silver and Petrucelli and Associates; they came in with
the lowest quote - $13,500, and they have done other projects for the Town. W.
Canny moved to approve a request by the Temporary Fire/EMS Facility
Page 6 of 7
Study Committee to hire Silver Petruccelli and Associates as the consulting
firm to assist Town officials with the needs assessment and conceptual design
of the Collinsville Fire Station. T. Sevigny seconded. The vote passed
unanimously. h. Review status of the High School Window Replacement Project and request that
the Permanent Municipal Building Committee include the method and cost of air
conditioning at the High School as part of its scope of work for the High School
Window Replacement Project: Chief Administrative Officer Robert Skinner
explained there have been issues for years with the High School windows. They
are weak and there is worry they could fall out. The estimate to fix them is
$600,000. The issue is there are air conditioners built into some of the windows;
about 60 classrooms have air conditioners and 28 of them have the air
conditioners built into the windows. The bid for the window replacement was put
out in April and was $900,000. It will be significantly higher with the replace air
conditioners; about $10,000 a piece for 28 classrooms. The grant received for the
window was only for the windows and does not include the air conditioners. If
the air conditioners are tacked onto this grant the town will not receive the 40%
back after the project is complete. Robert Skinner discussed options:
Withdraw the application and put in a new application including the air
conditioners, which would take time.
Amending the existing application tacking on the air conditioners and get
the 40% reimbursement.
The air conditioners were not included in the original grant because the Board of
Education said they would pay for them. Beth Kandrysawtz asked why the
present air conditions would not fit in the new windows if they fit in the old
windows. Bob Martin answered it would defeat the purpose of new windows to
have air conditioners in them. Not all of the original $600,000 will be used of the
windows. $240,000 can be used for the air conditioners with the additional
$68,000 coming from the Board of Education’s CIP. Beth Kandrysawtz asked if
the town had received the reimbursement from closing out the school project.
Robert Skinner explained that the Superintendent and the Town Attorney signed
the EDO-497 so that the next step will be to have the project audited. B.
Kandrysawtz moved to approve a resolution expanding the scope of the
School Window Replacement Project to include air conditioning for the areas
impacted by the window replacement project and refer the expanded High
School Window Replacement Project to the Permanent Municipal Building
Committee. T. Sevigny seconded. The vote passed unanimously.
7. Communications from the CAO, Town Agencies, officials and/or other governmental
agencies and officials:
a. First Selectman’s Report: Nothing to report
b. Chief Administrative officer Report:
The Steep grant for Lawton Road was not approved. Mr. Skinner does not
know if there will be any other grant rounds.
The main water pipe broke on Simmonds Avenue. The Department of
Public Works was doing work on a catch basin on Simmonds Avenue and
Page 7 of 7
an accident occurred. The Water Company had to come out and shut off
the water, and informed the town that they would notify all the residents
impacted. The pipe was fixed by 6pm and the water was turned back on
and flushed. The town received calls from residents asking about their
water. Robert Skinner contacted the Water Company for a status report.
The water company called back and said it was referring it to the Public
Affairs Department. The Water Company did eventually call Mr. Skinner
back. The general agreement was that the Water Company could have
been more responsive with their communications.
The traffic light is up in Collinsville and the town is waiting for
Eversource to turn the power on. The yellow lights will be blinking for
about a week before the light is in full operation.
Commerce Drive now has a new solar powered pedestrian light.
8. Remarks by Selectmen: None
9. Adjournment: W. Canny moved to adjourn the meeting at 9:33pm. B. Kandrysawtz
seconded. The meeting was adjourned.
