RESIDENTS & PROPERTY OWNERS COMMENTS

Mr. Jeff Eillenberg, 2 Village Drive, Ledyard, addressed the proposed “Ordinance

Establishing a Town of Ledyard Code of Ethics and Ethics Commission”. He noted the

Ethics Complaint that was filed in the Town of Waterford. He stated that he visited

Waterford and talked with their staff regarding their Ethics Process, noting that they were

candid and helpful. He provided the Administration Committee with a packet of the

materials from a Waterford Ethics Complaint; and he urged them to contact the Town of

Waterford and talk with their staff before they implement an Ethics Commission in Ledyard.

Mr. Dave Schroeder, Jr. 290 Whalehead Road, Gales Ferry, expressed support for

New Business Item #1 to establish an Ad Hoc Committee to investigate separating

the Planning & Zoning Commission into two separate Commissions.

Mr. Eric Treaster, 10 Huntington Way, Ledyard, addressed the proposed “Ordinance

Establishing a Town of Ledyard Code of Ethics and Ethics Commission”; noting that he

thought the Administration Committee’s draft dated January 28, 2026 which in which they

included suggestions that were discussed at their special meeting was much more

comprehensive than the draft dated February 9, 2026 that was labeled “Attorney’s

Mark-Up. He asked that during tonight’s meeting the Administration Committee review the

Town Attorney’s changes and the reasons for his changes.
