approved the purchase of an extensive collection
of World War II memorabilia from a local collector,
which is valued at over two hundred thousand
dollars.
In response to the tragedy in Worcester,
Massachusetts, during which six firefighters
perished in a warehouse fire, the Town Council
funded the purchase of four thermal imaging
cameras, which can locate persons trapped in
burning buildings. In response to the tragedy of
September 11, we collected items and money for
the relief workers and victims of the September
11 tragedy, and co-sponsored with our High
School.
The Town Council also continued to address the
growing recreational needs of the Town. We
unanimously adopted the Master Plan of
Recreational Development, which was developed
over the course of about eighteen months. We
also commenced bond funding the improvements
to the Veteran’s Memorial Park pool, which
commenced construction last August. The Town
Council also supported funding for improvements
to the South Windsor Rotary Field, which is
primarily being funded by individual and
corporate sponsors.
Purchase of a 20 passenger lift-equipped van for
transportation of elderly citizens or those with
disabilities was approved by the Town Council.
We addressed the concerns of the many condominium
and planned unit complexes in Town by
approving a reimbursement program for snow
removal costs at planned unit developments,
senior housing developments and residential
condominiums.
We have worked hard to address the demands
of this community-which is one of the fastest
growing towns in the State--seeking out new
revenue sources to fund our municipal and
educational programs and projects. We will
continue to find responsible ways to fund the
projects and programs that are needed to meet
the needs of our diverse and unique town.
