___________________________________________________________________________
The Legal Voters and those qualified to vote in Town Meeting assembled in Town Meeting at the Hampton Town Hall, lower level, 164 Main Street Hampton, Connecticut on May 22, 2018 at 7:00 PM and transacted the following business:
Call to order: First Selectman Allan Cahill called the meeting to order at 7:04 PM
To Elect a moderator for said meeting: Jamie Boss/Renee Cahill moved seconded to elect Sue Hochstetter Moderator. There were no other nominations. Ms. Hochstetter was elected moderator unanimously by voice vote.
To authorize the Board of Selectmen to borrow, if necessary, money to defray expenses until other funds are available: Stan Crawford/Mike Higgins moved/seconded to approve. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
To nominate and elect one member to the Regional District 11 Board of Education for a term of three years beginning with their first Board meeting in July, 2018: Bob Grindle nominated Kate Donnelly. There were no other nominations. Rose Bisson/Ann Gruenberg moved/seconded to close nominations. Ms. Donnelly was elected to the Board by acclamation.
To authorize the Board of Selectmen to enter into agreement with the Commissioner of Connecticut Department of Transportation for the expenditure of funds available July 1, 2018 for the fiscal year July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 for improvements and maintenance of Town roads: Perry Matchinis/Stan Crawford moved/seconded to approve. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
To authorize the Board of Selectmen to approve and accept Local Capital Improvement Funds (LoCIP) from the State of Connecticut for road improvement: Rose Bisson/Irene Brown moved/seconded to approve. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
To approve the 5 year Capital Improvement Plan including the 5 year Road Plan: Bob Grindle/Mike Chapel moved/seconded to approve. Questions were asked and answered by Allan Cahill regarding improvements to Town Hall Campus, why no costs were listed on the plan, and that the Firehouse Addition is to be funded separately. Hearing no further questions, Moderator Hochstetter called for the vote. Motion carried with one abstention.
To authorize Board of Selectman to act as liaison for Trailwoods application to the Neighborhood Assistance Act: Mike Chapel/Rose Bisson moved/seconded to approve. Allan Cahill explained that the Board of Selectmen had been approached on the matter. Sarah Hemenway, representing CT Audubon/Pomfret, explained that doing so would enable the organization to receive funds for improvement projects and provide tax benefits to those companies that provide services. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
To hear discussion and act on the General Budget for FY July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 as recommended by the Board of Finance, and to appropriate sums of money as required: Perry Matchinis/Larry Goodheart moved/seconded to open discussion. Allan Cahill presented the major increases and decreases over last year's budget. Increases include 3% raise to Town Hall employees, increased rates in all type of insurance coverage, and a substantial raise in Capital/Non-recurring account funding. Questions were asked and answered regarding State ECS grant amount ($1.1 million), what the percentage increase is (5%), and when specific project funding will be approved (at special town meetings). While the budget shows a 5% increase, there is no projected increase in the mill rate. Also, kudos were given to the Department of Public Works personnel for their excellent performance. The vote on this matter will take place at referendum.
To hear discussion and act on the Hampton Elementary School Budget for FY July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 as recommended by the Board of Finance, and to appropriate sums of money as required: Mark Becker/Perry Matchinis moved/seconded to open discussion. HES Board Chair Rose Bisson gave a brief statement outlining the budget. She stated that the budget is a 0% increase over last years and includes staff reductions. Questions and comments were responded to by Ms. Bisson and Frank Olah (Superintendent) regarding how reading will be addressed without the reading teacher position being funded, student population, test scores, number of buses/bus routes and whether an independent study of same is advisable, and the funding a cooperative agreement with RD#11 for a financial manager. The vote on this matter will take place at referendum.
To hear discussion and act to transfer $500,000 from Unallocated General Fund to Firehouse Addition Reserve Fund: Bob Grindle/Renee Cahill moved/seconded to open discussion. Allan Cahill outlined the needs of the building that would be taken care of by the addition. He mentioned that having a high fund balance is a detriment to receiving grant funding so using the unallocated funds to finance the addition may be beneficial. Jake Berard, Assistant Fire Chief, outlined in detail why the addition is necessary and what the benefits to the Company would be - for example, the present configuration requires double parking in the building which hinders response time. Questions and comments were responded to by Jake and Allan regarding other equipment needed down the road, water capacity, whether alternative funding had been pursued, problems with the present building and its age, solar panel possibilities, and Hampton's responsibility for State Forest rescue. Several people spoke regarding their appreciation for volunteerism and the work the Company does for the community. The vote on this matter will take place at referendum.
Transfer from Capital & Non-Recurring Unallocated Funds of $10,202.74 to Fire Truck Reserve Fund: Perry Matchinis/Jeff Clermont moved/seconded to approve. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
To transact any other business proper to come before the meeting: None.
Adjournment: Bob Grindle/Perry Matchinis moved to adjourn at 8:20 PM. The meeting adjourned to a referendum scheduled for May 29, 2018 from noon to 8:00 PM to vote on the following questions:
Shall the Town of Hampton appropriate $1,632,306 for the General Government for the 2018-2019 fiscal year?
Shall the Town of Hampton appropriate $2,174,969 for the Hampton Elementary School for the 2018-2019 fiscal year?

Respectfully submitted,
