RESIDENTS & PROPERTY OWNERS COMMENTS

Ms. Joanne Kelley, 12 Thamesview Pentway, Gales Ferry, Board of Education

Finance Committee Chairman, stated that she attended the Town Council’s

February 28, 2024 meeting to present the Board of Education’s proposed Fiscal

Year 2024/2025 Budget in the amount of $38,369,823 an increase of $2,461,455

or 6.85%; and that she wanted to again state her support for the Education Budget

as it was proposed, noting that the Finance Committee would be discussing the

budget later this evening. She went on to note that she attended two of the three

Town Council Finance Committee’s Fiscal Year Budget Work Sessions on

March 7 & 11, 2024. She stated one of the Department Work Sessions that struck

her relative to the Board of Education’s proposed budget was presented by Youth

Services Director Karen Goetchuis. She noted that the Youth Services

Department attempted to use Intern Clinicians to provide Mental Health Services

for Ledyard’s students, using American Rescue Plan Act Funding. (ARPA). She

noted during Ms. Goetchuis’ Budget Work Session that she explained although

efforts were being made, the program was not meeting the needs of the students.

She noted that Ms. Goetchuis explained that there was a lack of coordination and

supervision over the Intern Clinician/Social Worker. She stated the University of

Connecticut (UCONN) conducted an evaluation of the Youth Services Mental

Health Program, noting that the UCONN Report was dismal because Ledyard

was not doing what they needed to do. Ms. Kelley stated after hearing the Youth

Services Budget Work Session that she wanted to reiterate that the Board of

Education has added a Clinical Supervision position which would complete their

school-based Student Centrix Mental Health Team; noting that mental health was

a critical area. She concluded by noting that Councilor Ryan was not present

when she presented the Board of Education’s proposed Fiscal Year budget on

February 28, 2024 and that she offered to answer any questions he had regarding

the proposed Education Budget this evening.

Councilor Ryan thanked Board of Education Finance Committee Chairman, Ms.

Kelley, noting he did not have any questions at this time.

Mr. Earl (Ty) Lamb, 95 Lambtown Road, Ledyard, Board of Education Member,

stated he was present this evening to address New Business Item #3 on tonight’s

Agenda regarding the proposed Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget. He expressed his

appreciation to the Town Council, Board of Education, and Staff from both the

Board of Education and General Government, for the extra time and work they put in

to prepare the proposed budget. He stated that the Town Council and Board of

Education were all volunteers and he specifically thanked Board of Education

Finance Committee Chairman Joanne Kelley, noting that she worked to streamline

the process and the budget for the Board of Education. He stated that he was only

speaking as one member of the Board of Education, and although he supported the

Board of Education’s proposed Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget in the amount of

$38,369,823 an increase of $2,461,455 or 6.85% as proposed, that he would have

liked to see them do more. He stated there were a number of needs that were not

funded, noting that they delayed implementing the Strategic Plan, and could have

used more funding to support expenses such as Substitute Teachers pay and

Paraprofessionals. He stated at $100 per day the Board of Education was not even

paying Substitute Teachers minimum wage ( $16.59 per hour).

Councilor Saccone thanked the Board of Education Members for their comments this

evening. He stated the proposed Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget that was before the

Finance Committee this evening was as proposed by the Mayor noting that it was in

the amount of $67,086,407 comprised of General Government Budget in the amount

of $29,032,334; and a Board of Education Budget in the amount of $38,054,073

(5.98% increase). He stated the Finance Committee would discuss the proposed

budgets later this evening, noting that the Board of Education submitted a proposed

Fiscal Year Budget in the amount of $38,369,823; which called for an increase of

$2,461,455or 6.85% over the current year’s budget.

MOVER:

Tim Ryan

SECONDER:

Saccone, Buhle and Ryan

AYE:

MOTION to adopt a proposed Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget in the amount of $67,430,573

comprised of:

General Government: $29,060,750

Board of Education: $38,369,823.

Moved by Councilor Buhle, seconded by Councilor Ryan

Discussion: It was noted that the proposed Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget, as proposed

by the Mayor was an increase of $2,537,008 or 3.94% over the current year’s budget and

would call for a 34.94 mil rate for a 0.38 mil increase.

The Finance Committee discussed the following adjustments to the proposed Fiscal Year

2024/2025 Budget:

· Gales Fire Station Generator Replacement: Add $8,000 - Councilor Saccone noted that

although the Town applied for and received Grant Funding for the replacement of some

equipment which included the generator, that the State has been slow in releasing the

funding. He stated the Gales Ferry Fire Company has been requesting funding to replace

their current generator as part of their budget request for a number of years; however, the

purchase has not been funded. He suggested adding $8,000 to replace the generator and

reimbursing the Account when the Grant Funding has finally been received.

· Public Works Building Upgrade Reserve: Add $200,000 for Board of Education

Capital Needs - Councilor Saccone noted the Committee to Review the Budget Process

presented their Final Report dated October 31, 2024 to the Town Council at their January

10, 2024 meeting. He stated the Report suggested the Town manage funding for

long-term capital needs such as the replacement of school roofs and other anticipated

facilities expenses similar to what the town has been doing for the purchase of large

pieces of equipment such as fire trucks, and public works heavy equipment, by setting aside

funding each year. He stated by putting $100,000 or $200,000 into a Capital Sinking Fund

for the Schools that in ten-years they would have $1 million to pay for projects. He stated

this would also reduce their costs to borrow (bond) funding. He stated that Public

Work/Town Engineer Steve Masalin manages a Facilities Maintenance Plan for the General

Government buildings, therefore, he suggested that $200,000 be added to Account#2104011

-58240 (PW Building Upgrade Reserve) for School Facilities projects.

· Juliet W. Long School Fire Alarm: $75,000 - Councilor Buhle addressed safety

issues regarding Fire Alarm System at the Juliet W. Long Elementary School. She

suggested rather than put the replacement of the Fire Alarm System off for three years

while they were putting funding aside to replace the Fire Alarm Systems at the Juliet W.

Long and High School; that $75,000 be allocated in the upcoming Fiscal Year 2024/2025

Budget to replace the Fire Alarm System at the Juliet W. Long School this summer.

Chairman Rodriguez noted that she spoke to Fire Marshall Jim Mann about the Fire

Alarm Systems at the Juliet W. Long School and the High School. She stated that Mr.

Mann stated that the High School Fire Alarm was not urgent, but that Juliet W. Long

School’s Fire Alarm was urgent. She stated that Mr. Mann explained that they could fix

the electrical module for about $200,000 - $300,000; as a holdover until they could

replace the entire system. Chairman Rodriguez went on to state that fixing the electrical

module would only be a BanAide, noting that the Board of Education classified the Juliet

W. Long School Fire Alarm System as a High Priority.

· Dispatch Emergency Communications CAD/RMS System Replacement - Councilor

Buhle noted that the Dispatch Emergency Communications CAD/RMS System

Replacement may be eligible to receive a Congressional Directed Spending Grant that

Congressman Chris Murphy’s Office was working on. Therefore, she suggested reducing

the allocation by 50% ($45,000) for 2025 and leaving the funding the same for the

second year of the funding plan. She stated if the town does not receive the

Congressional Directed Spending Grant that they could increase the funding allocation in

the second year to keep the project on track. She noted the two-year funding plan was as

follows: 2025: $90,000 and suggested reducing allocation to $45,000 (2025); 2026:

$89,030.

Councilor Ryan explained the reason projects needed to be 100% funded in the budget

was in case the town does not receive the anticipated grant funding; they would be

responsible to pay the full amount of the project. Councilor Buhle stated the full cost of

the CAD/RMS System Replacement was $180,000 and was being funded over a two-year

period. Therefore, she was suggesting they reduce the funding in the first year by 45,000

or 50%; and if the town does not receive the grant that they increase the second year’s

funding by $45,000 to fully fund the replacement cost of CAD/RMS System

Communications System.

· High School Elevator $222,000 - Councilor Buhle stated the existing elevator was

original to the High School (1962 & 1966) and needed to be replaced. She stated the

Capital Improvement Plan has scheduled a three-year funding Plan to begin in 2026. She

suggested they adjust the funding plan to begin in: 2025: $74,000, 2026: $74,000; 2027:

$74,000. (Total Request: $222,000).

American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding $2.9 million - Board of Education -

Councilor Saccone noted that he worked in the Board of Education’s Facilities Department

for a few years, noting that many of the Board of Education’s Capital Improvement Project

Requests were needed then. Therefore, he questions the reason the Board of Education did

not use some of their ARPA Funding to address projects such as the Fire Alarms Systems

and the Elevators.

Board of Education Finance Committee Chairman Joanne Kelley stated that although she

was serving as a Member of the Board of Education during that time, that she did not serve

on the Facilities Committee, and therefore, she could not answer Councilor Saccone’s

question regarding the use of the Board of Education ARPA Funding.

American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding - General Government- Mental Health

Clinicians - Councilor Saccone noted Board of Education Member Joanne Kelley’s

comments earlier this evening (III. Residents and Property Owners - see above) regarding

the Board of Education taking on the role to provide clinical mental health support to

students. He noted the Town allocated $190,000 from their ARPA Funding for Mental

Health Clinicians. He stated with the changes that Ms. Kelley mentioned the Town’s ARPA

Funding was being used to pay the Clinicians that were providing services at the schools. He

stated currently this ARPA allocation had a balance in the amount of $151,500; explaining

that as Clinicians were providing services the Board of Education was invoicing the Town

for the costs.

The Group discussed the use of the Town’s ARPA Funding that was allocated to pay for the

Mental Health Clinicians and the importance to understand the Federal Government's

Guidelines relative to the expenditure of funds noting the following: (1) Need to have a

Contract in-Place by December 31, 2024; (2) Need to fully expend the funds by December

31, 2026; (3) Using the funding for Payroll Expenses that would go beyond 2026; (4)

Disburse the ARPA Funds to the Board of Education and a Sub-Reciepant; to pay for the

Mental Health Clinicians and whether the Board of Education would qualify as a

Sub-Recipient of the Town. Finance Director Matthew Bonin stated that he would review

the ARPA Guidelines to determine the best approach with regard to the town’s ARPA

allocation for Mental Health Clinicians.

· Board of Education Fiscal Year Budget Request $38,369,893 - Councilor Buhle stated

the Mayor’s proposed Budget reduced the Board of Education’s Budget request by

$315,750. She suggested reinstating the $315,750 to the Board of Education’s Fiscal

Year 2024/2025 Budget and fully funding the Education Budget as requested at

$38,396,893; an increase of $2,461,455 or 6.85% over the current year’s budget.

Councilor Buhle continued by stating that she attended the Board of Education’s Budget

meetings and she explained that because Ledyard was paying the lowest rate for

substitute teachers in the area, they were not able to get the substitute teachers when

needed. She stated the proposed Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget in the amount of

$38,396,893 would increase the Substitute Teacher wages from $100 to $125 per day;

and would provide an additional 10% coverage. She also stated that Ledyard’s Per Pupil

expenditure of $16,871 continued to be in the lowest 10% of Connecticut’s 169 towns;

and that it was time to provide the School District with what they needed.

Councilor Ryan stated that he supported Value Spending to support the children’s

education. He stated that he did not care about what other School Districts spend. He

stated he cared about what Ledyard spends on their Education Budget and whether it met

their needs. He stated he agreed with increasing spending in strategic areas.

Councilor Saccone stated most of the Capital Improvement Projects the Finance

Committee was discussing this evening were Board of Education Projects. He went on to

note for clarification that the MOTION on the Table this evening was the Mayor’s

proposed Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget which reduced the Board of Education’s

proposed budget request in the amount of $38,369,823 (6.85% increase) by $315,750 for

an adjusted amount of $38,054,073; (5.98% increase).

Councilor Saccone went on to state that he would support putting forward the Board of

Education’s proposed Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget as the Board of Education

requested in the amount of $38,369,823; which called for an increase of $2,461,455or

6.85% over the current year’s budget. Therefore, he questioned Councilor Buhle and

Councilor Ryan’s thoughts on restoring the $315,750 to the Board of Education’s proposed

Fiscal Year for a revised total of $38,369,823 (increase of 6.85%) as proposed by the

Board of Education.

Councilor Buhle stated that she has made her opinion known that she supported fully

funding the Board of Education’s proposed Fiscal year 2024/2025 Budget in the amount

of $38,369,823 (increase of 6.85%), as proposed by the Board of Education.

Councilor Garcia-Irizarry, Board of Education Liaison, stated that there were a number of

things that the Board of Education needed but did not include in their proposed Fiscal

Year 2024/2025 Budget request of $38,369,823 (increase of 6.85%) explaining that they

worked to minimize their budget increase request. Therefore, she stated that

Superintendent Jason Hartling put together a list of things that he would like to include in

future budgets such as Math Coaches, Late Buses, Special Education Teacher, LEAF

Home Visitors, Critical Coordinator, Instrumental Updates, Expand Pre-K

(Kindergarten) Program, Full-Time Math Teacher, Full-Time Family Consumer Science

Teacher; two Elementary World Language Teachers, Elementary Instrumental Music

Teacher, etc. She went on to note that currently Ledyard was paying Substitute Teachers

$100 per day, which was less than the Connecticut minimum wage ($16.59 per hour).

She stated they could earn more working at Walmart than working as a Substitute

Teacher in Ledyard. She stated although Ledyard should not compare themselves to other

School District’s, because their needs may be different than Ledyard’s needs; that the

reality was that Ledyard was not meeting all of their student’s needs. She stated they

have been approving budgets that were only addressing their most urgent needs. She

stated the Board of Education made a lot of compromises to get to the Fiscal Year

2024/2025 Budget in the amount of $38,369,823 (increase of 6.85%) as they have

requested.

Councilor Saccone stated based on tonight’s discussion, the Finance Committee had a

number of adjustments that they would need to decide on before making a

recommendation regarding the proposed Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget. Therefore, he

suggested the Finance Committee Table the proposed Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget.

MOTION to Table the
