IT Consultant Craig Roberts expressed the Laserfische needs that need special attention. He explained
that the application was outdated and on an antiquated server. He needs to move it to one of the new
town servers which will require a software upgrade of the Lasfische process. He added that he originally
received a quote for $3,800. Councilman Kuzmics questioned an additional quote of $3,050. Town
Clerk Joseph Paoloni explained that he had called the vendor and negotiated a better price of $3,050
versus the original quote of $3,800 saving the town $750. The reduction was primarily a reduction in
the training which the Town Clerk's office that is well versed in Laserfische processes. Councilman Beale
asked if it was budgeted. Supervisor Gutzler suggested that it could come out of the contingency line
item. On another note, Councilman Beale asked for Wi-Fi access. Consultant Roberts explained that Wi-
Fi access was limited due to security needs which were confirmed by Supervisor Gutzler. Town Clerk
Paoloni mentioned that in his first week on the job in January he contacted Cablevision (Optimum) and
asked to have the Optimum Wi-Fi turned up so that town hall visitors could access the weak existing
'Not Spot' signal at town hall, but has not heard back from them. Councilman Beale asked Consultant
Roberts to find a more senior contact at Cablevision.

Hazard Mitigation Grant Program -Victor Cornelius
Supervisor Gutzler introduced grant writer Victor Cornelius. Mr. Cornelius explained that he had 2
contracts put in for grants. Councilman Bettina asked about grants for repair of the docks at the Chelsea
waterfront. Mr. Cornelius asked if we had a waterfront revitalization plan. Supervisor Gutzler said no.
Councilman Bettina asked what we can expect from the monies we have expended and the bottom line
of the return. Victor replied that we spent $10,000 thus far and that a number of his clients have been
rejected, but we have not been rejected, but the final decision will happen prior to this year's election.
Mr. Cornelius said we submit the application by June 15 and he will need information from the town
engineer by the next Monday. Councilman Beale asked about the $200,000 that he set up for the
county. Mr. Cornelius said it was for the aeration unit for the Tri Muni sewer plant and the inter-
municipal grant program for the county executive offices. Mr. Cornelius also explained that individual
municipalities can apply for the hazard mitigation grant program and has applied for it in December.
Councilman Beale clarified by saying that it is a county program that individual towns opt into and that
we are not the direct recipient.
Palmateer Tournament at Robinson Lane
Zoning Violation Enforcement
Councilman Beale addresses enforcement of zoning laws. He pointed out that some letters sent to
zoning violators are sent to vacant properties where nobody lives. Zoning administrator Barbara Roberti
pointed out that until we have such information we cannot direct it to the proper address. Councilman
Bettina suggested a registered letter. The discussion continued regarding the process of citing a violator

and subsequent repeat violation that lead to court. Councilman Beale offered the use of the town

1. Motion To: effective July I st the Town Recycle Center no longer accepts CR TVS
Councilman Kuzmicz brought up the recycle center rules for trailers. A resident complained that a small

he just wanted to bring it to the attention to the board should they want to make changes during the
next budget cycle. Councilman Beale made a motion to discontinue the disposal of large cathode ray
