5/12/2023 - 5.12 TOWN UPDATE
Dear Fairfielders,
 
As far back as anyone can recall, this is the first time the budget passed all three town boards unanimously, and it has to be the RTM’s shortest budget meeting in history with unanimous approval in just 12 minutes. 

I am very proud of the work my administration did to deliver a budget that is responsible with a less than 1% increase, while inflationary pressures and increasing utility costs have put burdens on all of us.  

The FY24 budget includes a large investment in Fairfield Public Schools, funds our long-term liabilities and the Senior and Disabled Tax Relief program, which gives back to those residents who helped build Fairfield for the next generation, and keeps spending low despite record high inflation and supply chain issues.

This budget continues efforts to reorganize the Town’s workforce to improve processes and modernize services for residents. In addition to the full-time social worker and social services coordinator added to the Police Department and Social Services Departments, the budget allocates funds for a new police officer, aimed at continuing to create a complementary balance between law enforcement and social services in the community. And, this budget effectively manages the many existing projects and pending infrastructure needs, so Fairfield remains attractive for generations to come.

The Board of Finance set the mill rate last Thursday at 27.51 mils. Here is the budget summary report. To watch the meeting, click here.

Fairfield Memorial Day Parade
I look forward to coming together as a community at Fairfield's annual Memorial Day events. In addition to the parade, residents are invited to attend Fairfield’s 35th Annual Memorial Sea Service at South Benson Marina on Ash Creek at 10:00 AM on Saturday, May 27, 2023.  The memorial ceremony is for those lost at sea, and those who were buried at sea, in service to our country. On Sunday, I will be speaking at the Knights of Columbus Memorial Day Mass and Military Remembrance Service to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

TOWN GOVERNMENT NEWS
FILL PILE AND SITES UPDATE 

STATUS OF CLEAN UP
The Town identified and tested over 40 sites where the contaminated fill from the Fill Pile was used for various town projects. After negotiations with the regulatory agencies, the Town's licensed environmental professional has supervised the remediation of over 30 of those sites. No further action is required at any of these sites. The few remaining sites are being remediated and are expected to be completed in the summer.  This will enable the Town to finally close the chapter on all of these sites well ahead of schedule as set forth in the Consent Order.

As for the fill pile itself, a great deal of testing and negotiations have taken place with the Department of Environmental & Energy Protection and the Environmental Protection Agency. These negotiations continue and the Town is hopeful to have a final acceptance of a remediation plan sometime this summer so remediation can begin shortly thereafter.
 

FILL PILE NEWS 
Former Fairfield Department of Public Works Superintendent, Scott Bartlett, was found guilty of eight felony charges and is facing significant prison time in the first of two trials surrounding the fill pile scandal. I hope the verdict provides some solace for Fairfield residents who want to see justice served.

I hope anyone who took part in the crimes against the taxpayers face the appropriate consequences.

The second larger trial is scheduled to take place this summer against former Town officials. For more information on the fill pile, click here.

TOWN RECIEVES GRANTS FOR AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM UPGRADES AT FOUR SCHOOLS
Today, I joined Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz, members of our State Delegation, and members of our school district at a press conference at Fairfield Warde High School (FWHS), my alma mater, to announce that the State has awarded Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Indoor Air Quality grants to FWHS, Fairfield Woods Middle School and North Stratfield and Osborn Elementary schools.
 
These grants are the first round of the newly established State program, HVAC Indoor Air Quality Grants Programs for Public Schools.  I am very grateful that our Town has received this critical funding to make these important upgrades to our schools.  It is important to invest in our schools’ infrastructure so our students can learn in a safe and healthy environment.
CONSTRUCTION ON CARRIAGE DRIVE
Beginning Monday, May 15, 2023, closures will be in place on Carriage Drive for sanitary sewer installation work.  The project is expected to last 3 to 4 weeks.

In a letter I wrote to our Sister City's Mayor that will be hand delivered to him with our flag next week by a Fairfield County contingent visiting Ukraine, I stated that our community is very honored to show our strong commitment and allegiance.

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK 
“A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind and touches a heart.” I am forever grateful for teachers in my life who helped me to get where I am today.  I want to thank all of Fairfield's teachers for their tremendous dedication and hard work in shaping our students into future leaders. I think each of us can point to at least one teacher who went above and beyond and had a real impact on our lives. For me, that teacher was Mrs. Srager. She was one of those teachers who took a personal interest in her students, including me. Thank you, teachers, for your continued support and care for the children of Fairfield.   
NATIONAL NURSES DAY  
“Nurses are the heart of healthcare”. In honor of National Nurses Day and International Nurses Week, let us all take a moment to acknowledge the incredible nurses who are there in our greatest times of need and our school nurses who go above and beyond every day to help our students. I value all of our nurses' efforts in keeping our children and community safe and healthy. 
OSPREY NESTING 
In June of 2022, Eagle Scout Mark Cassa from Troop 199 and the Conservation Department worked together to install an osprey nesting platform in the Oldfield North tidal marsh. I am excited to share that recently a pair of ospreys has begun nesting on the platform! 
FPS GREEN TEAM SUSTAINABILITY TIP OF THE WEEK
COMMUNITY EVENTS
HOLOCAUST COMMEMORATION 
I joined together with clergy and members of our community from all faiths for Fairfield's 38th Holocaust Commemoration. 

On May 3rd, the First Congregational Church hosted the Annual Holocaust Commemoration to remember the Holocaust with a Yom HaShoah observance. This is the 38th year the Town has sponsored the Commemoration which has been hosted by First Church since its inception. This year's keynote speaker was Rabbi Philip Lazowski, who shared his very moving personal story that he and his family were among the Jews banished from their village in Poland by the Nazis and forced to live in a ghetto.

The month of May marks Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM), designated to celebrate the impact of American Jews, who have helped shape our nation, like so many other immigrants who have come here. Their contributions should be recognized, celebrated, and much better known to Americans.

A recent report identified that anti-Semitic incidents have hit their highest level ever recorded in our State. It's incumbent upon all of us to unite against hatred and be aware of these incidents. As Rabbi Lazowski said, ..."the result of not educating people enough about the Holocaust" is "when people forget what happened, they are vulnerable to [the idea] that it never happened."

Thank you to the Ludlowe High School Chamber Orchestra, Fairfield County Children’s Choir for sharing the beauty of their talent. Special thanks to the Fairfield Holocaust Committee, especially its Chairwoman, Attorney Adele Jacobs who organized such a beautiful and meaningful evening with Holocaust Survivor, Rabbi Lazowski who shared his powerful story of survival. 
 
FAIRFIELD'S EARTH DAY CELEBRATION 
I had the pleasure of attending Fairfield's Earth Day Celebration. The event coincided with the Fairfield Y’s observance of Healthy Kids Day®, the Y’s national initiative to inspire kids and families to keep their minds and bodies active throughout the summer months and beyond.

The day featured family-friendly activities to celebrate our environment and share information on how to keep it healthy and safe, including plant and seed giveaways, and displays on composting and invasive plants and pests; the Pollinator Pathway initiative; fire safety; energy efficiency, and more. Thank you to our Conservation Commission for attending to share information and host a raffle for Blue Bird House.
