Background:
From: Fred Allyn, III <mayor@ledyardct.org <mailto:mayor@ledyardct.org>> Sent: Monday, March 04, 2024 10:58 AM To: Roxanne Maher <council@ledyardct.org <mailto:council@ledyardct.org>> Subject: Sandy Hollow guardrail quote attached
Attached is the updated Sandy Hollow Road guardrail project for the Finance Committee’s March 6, 2024 as part of the ARPA discussions. The plan is that, pending approval, $300K would come from ARPA and the balance from existing “TAR Maintenance” grant line. The reduced costs reflect PW doing the rip out of existing and providing traffic control as well as a reduction of 575 LF of rail (see attached) .
Best,
Fred
Additional Background:
The Town has been slated to receive approximately $4,327,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act.
• Local governments would receive funding in two tranches (2nd tranche May/June 2022)
• Funds must be “obligated” by the end of calendar year 2024, “liquidated” by end of calendar year 2026.
Although the federal guidelines did not require approval by the taxpayers for the use of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding that the Finance Committee decided to include projects that were not time-sensitive in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that would be presented and voted on by the taxpayers as part of the May 17, 2022 Budget Referendum
To ensure that each project and all suggestions were given their due diligence that over the past year the Finance Committee developed a rubric to evaluate/rate each project, held an Information Forum on February 15, 2022 to receive and comments and suggestions on the proposed ARPA Projects, and received input from town departments and residents through conversations, and other sources such as social media
v Final rule defines five (5) broad eligible categories:
• Responding to the public health emergency and the negative economic impacts of COVID-19
• Replacement of lost revenue
• Provide premium pay
• Water and sewer infrastructure
• Broadband infrastructure
v Responding to the public health emergency and the negative economic impacts of COVID-19 (subcategories)
• public health
• assistance to households
• assistance to small businesses
• assistance to nonprofits
• aid to impacted industries
• public sector capacity
v Why not just “give the money back”?
• Funds cannot be used to reduce taxes
• Each resident would receive $288
• Current plan supports all of the above categories, invests in the community, and generates a return on the investment.
During the ARPA Projects evaluation process the Town Council approved to allocate ARPA Funding for some projects or expenses that were safety issues or time sensitive issues that could not wait until the May Budget Referendum. He presented the List of ARPA Projects the Town Council approved funding for as follows:

Since the townspeople’s May 17, 2022 approval of the $63,484,221 Fiscal Year 2022/2023 Budget Accounts have been setup for all of the approved ARPA Projects and staff has been assigned to manage and oversee each of the Projects. Due to inflation rates the costs of the projects have increased significantly since the town began the process last October-November, 2021. Therefore, the town has been working to monitor costs to determine which projects to proceed with and whether they should hold off on other projects.

Action: Reviewed/Discussed
Minute Note:
Public Works/Town Engineer Steve Masalin provided an update on the following projects:
• HVAC Systems have been completed and were operational at the Senior Citizens Center and the Emergency Services Building.
• HVAC System at the Town Hall - They were waiting for some administrative work from the State to complete the HVAC System for the Vault because of its purpose to store sensitive and historical documents. Also, some warrantee work needed to be completed as well.
• Streetlight Banner Brackets have been installed in Ledyard Center and the new Banners were now in place. Because the wreaths that they were previously using for the Holiday Season do not fit the size of the brackets that the Beautification Committee was considering winter/seasonal banners instead of the wreaths. Councilor Ingalls, Liaison to the Beautification Committee stated the wreaths were a creative solution for the first year, noting that they were inexpensive and were not meant to be used as a long-term holiday decoration.
• Automated Doors at the Senior Citizens Center - The doors have been installed and were operational.
• Sidewalk Infill - No activity has been engaged for the sidewalk work in Ledyard Center or Gales Ferry. Mr. Masalin stated although $35,000 was earmarked for this work, that he did not know if any meaningful work could be done with the $35,000.
• Town Hall Door Replacement - Considering augmenting the funding to install automated doors in the front of the Town Hall building. Buildings and Grounds Forman Shawn Ruszcyk met with the contractor this week to scope out the project.
Councilor Ryan thanked Mr. Masalin for the update regarding the ARPA Funded Projects noting that based on his report this evening that three more projects have been completed; and he stated this was Good News!

The Group discussed the following:
• Progress to date:
ü 13 Projects Completed
ü 13 Projects In-Process
ü 8 Projects Not-Started
• Senior Citizens ARPA Funding $29,000 - Mayor Allyn noted as he reported at the Town Council’s April 26, 2023 meeting the Federal Government designated ARPA Funding specifically for Senior Citizens Centers. He stated Ledyard would be receiving $29,000, noting that it was based on a per capita allotment. He stated the town had 18 months to designate the use of the funding and that the funds needed to be spent by 2026.
Councilor Saums addressed the $29,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding and he noted that the town had allocated $160,000 to be used for the replacement of the Heating and Air Condition System (HVAC) ($155,000) and doors ($5,000) at the Senior Center. He suggested the town apply the $29,000 Senior Citizens ARPA Funding toward these Projects at the Senior Citizens Center, noting that it would free up $29,000 for cost overruns on other town ARPA Projects. Mayor Allyn stated that Councilor Saums’ suggestion was a good approach.
• Linda C. Davis Food Pantry Vinyl Siding $170,000 - Mayor Allyn explained that the residing the Food Panty has not been done yet because the Food Panty would like to make some changes to the building to provide a covered area outside the door so that volunteers would be out of the weather when providing curbside pick-ups and when receiving deliveries. He stated the weather protection overhang would be about 12-feet wide and would project out 8-feet. He stated that they were also looking to install a concrete pad for a “Market Cart” in that same area.
Mayor Allyn went on to explain the Market Cart was for food that nearing the expiration date, that the Food Pantry would make available to clients when they were picking up their regular food orders, noting that the clients could pick up extra supplies from the Market Cart. He stated the weather protection covering would be on the side of the building facing where the tennis courts use to be located. He stated once this work was completed that they would proceed with residing the building.
Finance Director Matthew Bonin noted the following:
ü Completed Projects: $31,000 Remaining
ü Not Yet Committee: $226,000
Total Available: $256,000 to be committed to other projects.
Mr. Bonin noted the Federal Treasury definition of “Obligated Funds” meant “An order has been placed for property and services, or contracts, or some arm awards were made”. He stated just saying that the funds were going to be used for a particular project, was not considered “Obligated” and did not meet the Treasury’s definition. He stated they had to contracts or Purchase Orders in place.

Councilor Ryan noted that a number of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Project have not been started yet. He questioned other than reasons such as seasonal, why some projects have not been started, noting that the ARPA Funding had to be obligated by 2024 and expended by 2026.
The Group noted the following:
• Linda C. Davis Food Pantry Improvements- The new roof has been installed; however, the new siding has not been installed yet. Mayor Allyn explained the Food Pantry Volunteers requested a weather shelter covered entry area be added to the building; therefore, they were waiting for this work to be done before they installed the new siding on the building.
• Town Hall HVAC - Has been completed, the air conditioning will not be turned on and tested until this summer (2023).
• Skid Mounted Sewer Pump - has been delivered; it will be installed this spring (2023).
• Gales Ferry Sidewalks - Does not have an assigned owner, does not have a sidewalk plan. The town needs to conduct a Gales Ferry Corridor Study, to have a recommendation regarding where the sidewalks should be placed in Gales Ferry.
Mayor Allyn stated the Land Use Department has not been fully staffed for some time; and the Land Use Director was overburdened with a tremendous amount of work. Therefore, no progress has been made toward conducting the Gales Ferry Corridor Study. He suggested the town solicit the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments (SCCOG) to conduct the Gales Ferry Corridor Study. He noted that Land Use Director Juliet Hodge recently completed the Comprehensive Zoning Regulations Rewrite, and that she had to finish the Subdivision Regulations Rewrite to be in alliance with the new the Zoning Regulations. In addition, with the townspeople’s November 6, 2022 approval of the sale of recreational marijuana that Zoning Regulations that permit the sale of marijuana in town have to be drafted/completed by June 30, 2023 in accordance with state statute.
• Ledyard Center Sidewalk fill-in There are a few places in Ledyard Center such as in front of Holdridge’s where there are sections of the sidewalks that are missing.
• Electric Vehicle Charging (EV) Stations - Work need to be done to determine where the Electric Vehicle Charging Stations should be located.
• LED Signs - The Request for Proposals (RFP) for the LED Signs would be posted on February 16, 2023. The Bid Opening would be in early March, the Bid would be awarded, and the project should be completed by the end of May, 2023.
• Playscape at 13 Winthrop - The Playscape was delivered in November, 2022. The Playscape would be installed in the Spring, 2023. Instead of woodchips they plan to pour a rubberized pad around the equipment.
• Erickson Park Enhancements - Public Works would be doing some work to install a retaining wall and create some additional parking.
Councilor Ryan noted that he has seen a number of people kayaking at Erickson Park. He suggested that the launch be regraded, noting that it was quite steep.
• Lester House Repairs and Up-Down Sawmill - The spreadsheet indicated that these projects were in-progress.
Finance Director Matthew Bonin noted that the Historic District Commission received a Grant to conduct a structural engineering review of the Sawmill. He noted that the Report would provide recommendations on the areas that need to be addressed. He stated that he would follow-up with Historic District Commission Chairman Vincent Godino to check on the status of these projects.
• Replace Dispatch Console Stations - Project has been completed $14,513 under budget. Mayor Allyn explained that some projects may come in under budget and other projects may come-in over budget. Therefore, he stated for the projects that come-in under budget that the funds would be added to the undesignated balance to be used toward other projects that come in over budget. He noted as an example of a project that may have a cost overrun from the amount that was initially budgeted was the Ledyard Center Sewer Extension Project noting that the cost of the ductile piping has increased by 200%.
• Solar Charging Stations - Mayor Allyn stated the town purchased four solar charging stations, noting that they came in under budget. He explained that some solar charging stations were deployed at the Town Green, Bill Library, Gales Ferry Library to see how they worked. He stated the charging stations were secured and bolted to the ground in concrete.
The Finance Committee thanked the Finance Director for his work on the ARPA Spreadsheet.
Councilor Rodriguez questioned whether the Mayor had any updates on the Federal Infrastructure Funding for Municipalities.
Mayor Allyn stated the Federal Government has prioritized the roll out of Infrastructure Funding over a five-year projection. He noted as an example:
• Funding for Airports and Railway would be disbursed one year.
• Funding for Bridges and Culverts would be disbursed in 2024.
• Funding for Multi-Model Pedestrian Access would be disbursed another year.
Mayor Allyn stated Mark Boughton was heading up the Federal Infrastructure Funding for the State of Connecticut. He stated Mr. Boughton spoke at the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments (SCCOG) meeting and he explained that this year’s focus was to make sure your town’s project was with an adjacent community. He stated a singular town project would go to the bottom of the pile.
Councilor Saums stated State Senator Cathy Osten, Representative Kevin Ryan, Representative Craig Howard, and Representative Brian Lanoue have introduced the following two House Bills: (1) $265,000 to be used for Heating Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and other equipment for the Emergency Services Building; and (2) $350,000 to be used for a Roof and Apparatus for the Gales Ferry Fire Department. He stated the second Bill was a result of Gales Ferry Fire Chief Tony Saccone asking if they could ask the State for funding for Apparatus.
Mayor Allyn stated one of the apparatus items that was supposed to be included in the $350.000 Bill was natural gas generator for the Parks and Recreation/Senior Citizens Facility. He stated he would contact Senator Osten to ensure the generator was included in the “Apparatus” Bill. He stated because there was a natural gas line that runs up to the Parks and Recreation/Senior Citizens Facility that the thought was if they had a whole building generator that the facility could be used during a crisis or bad storm because they had a commercial kitchen, bathroom facilities, etc.

Finance Committee Meeting 12/7/2022:
File #: 22064 Version: 1
Type: General Discussion
Title: Continued discussion regarding the status and possible changes to Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and Capital Non-Recurring (CNR) Fund based on the American Rescue Act Funding (ARPA) and the process to approve ARPA Projects and expend ARPA Funding.
Action: Discussed/Continued
Minute Note:
Councilor Ryan noted the ARPA Projects spreadsheet columns included “Funds Appropriated” and “Balance Available”. He questioned whether the funds available took into account completed projects that have come in under budget. Finance Director Matthew Bonin stated the spreadsheet that was attached to tonight’s meeting packet was not the most up-to-date spreadsheet, noting that he was maintaining a more detailed spreadsheet to track the projects as they were progressing. Councilor Ryan stated it would be good for the Finance Committee to see the rolling balance so that they could reallocate funds from completed projects that came in under budget, to projects that may be coming in over budget or to projects that were on the ARPA List but were not budgeted yet. He noted the ARPA Funding had to be appropriated before the end of 2024.
Action: Discussed/Continued

• Completed - Project complete, and funds have been expended.
The Group discussed ARPA Projects that came in under budget to-date, such as the Linda C. Davis Food Pantry Roof.

Finance Director Matthew Bonin stated of the ARPA Projects that have been completed to-date that there was an excess of $31,000 funds that could be reappropriated.
