12/2/2022 - 12.2 TOWN UPDATE Dear Fairfielders, I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving. As we approach the holiday season, it is important to spend time with family and friends, join in the community spirit and most importantly, give back to those in need. I have included holiday events and opportunities for our community to help make our neighbor's holiday special. I also included under the Government News section information on Penfield Pavilion and the Water Pollution Control Facility. What's in this week's newsletter? Town Government News New Businesses Holiday Events Holiday Giving Opportunities TOWN GOVERNMENT NEWS FILL PILE & CRIMINAL COURT PROCEEDINGS Recently, I have shared updates on the criminal court proceedings with regard to the fill pile public corruption scandal facing our Town. You can read the latest update here. Two out of the three largest issues remaining are the contaminated soil under the Penfield Pavilion and the parking lot and the Notice of Violation from the Federal Emergency & Management Administration (FEMA) regarding the improperly built foundation. As you may remember, I held a presentation for the Board of Selectmen, Board of Finance and RTM on August 31st, to provide an update on these two issues. I also included an update in my newsletter on September 2nd, which you can read here. The Town has prepared a plan to address the Notice of Violation on Penfield Pavilion but we are waiting for all regulatory agencies to sign off on the plans. As I have said many times, I will not make the same mistakes as the prior administration. The Town will not move forward with any remediation efforts without approval in writing from the appropriate authorities whether it be the CT Department of Environmental & Energy Protection, the Environmental Protection Agency or FEMA. WATER POLLUTION CONTROL FACILITY Due to a structural failure of one of the primary digesters at the Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF), there has been a change in how the sewage at the facility is being processed. First, the broken digester had to be cleaned which was a large undertaking so the contractor could then assess the cause and extent of the failure. Based on the scope of the damage, it is expected to take a few more months for the repair to be completed. The change in process at the facility is causing residents in the area to experience a strong odor. While WPCF hired a company in October to assist in controlling the odor issues, those attempts were ineffective and appeared to have exacerbated the smell. The WPCF has now identified a new odor control product which arrived today and WPCF is optimistic it will improve the odor in the area. The Town has been diligently coordinating with qualified experts and vendors to identify, bid, schedule, and implement the necessary equipment repairs. Some of our residents have raised concerns about air quality. The Town arranged for air testing by an independent private contractor which took place today. As soon as the town has the report we will release the results to the public. In the interim, the WPCF has several air testing meters which they regularly use for entering confined spaces to indicate if there are any hazards within the building. Those units had been placed around the facility and did not record any elevated results. CT DEEP has been on site to the location and the Health Department has discussed the situation and residents’ concerns with the staff of the CT Department of Public Health’s (DPH) Environmental and Occupational Health Assessment Program. DPH staff has advised that this change would not likely lead to a change in health risk for either infectious diseases or other health impacts from exposure to sewer odors. For infectious disease risk, an individual would have to have direct contact with the sewage and WPCF has indicated that the process change is not introducing any additional sewage or particulate matter into the environment. DPH stated that the odors experienced are likely from the sewage-related gases and that these do not contain infectious materials. DPH further explained that the strong odors are likely from Hydrogen Sulfide or other components found in sewage and that these components do produce strong odors at very low concentrations. DPH advised that the levels at which these odors are noticeable (and objectionable) are hundreds of times below that which would produce health impacts. To confirm what we have been advised, the Town sought quotes from independent private air testing firms. Even assuming the levels found are below those that produce health impacts, we acknowledge that the WPCF process change is causing an increase in odors and the staff of the WPCF will continue to work to implement strategies to reduce them. DPW SPREADS HOLIDAY CHEER Department of Public Works Administrative Assistant Colleen Roche goes above and beyond each year for the residents of our Town in her role as Mrs. Claus. For 25 years, Colleen has been a dedicated Mrs. Claus, even attending Santa Camp in New Hampshire for the last few years to hone her craft. Last year, a documentary crew attended Santa Camp to follow three extraordinary Santas, resulting in the Santa Camp movie that Colleen can be seen in, now streaming on HBO-Max. Mrs. Claus is arriving with Santa on the firetruck for the Tree Lighting this Saturday, where you can see Colleen in action. I hope to see you all at this family-fun event. I-95 AND MERRITT PARKWAY OFF RAMPS Transportation Commissioner Joseph J. Giulietti has announced that the Department of Transportation is developing plans to install pavement markings on secondary roadways at all intersections with limited access off-ramps in the State to discourage wrong-way movements. Wrong-way crashes are a growing concern in the United States. Currently, Connecticut follows National guidelines for wrong-way signing pavement markings; however, the existing pavement markings vary from roadway to roadway. As a result, the Department will install and standardize the pavement markings on the secondary roadways at the intersections with limited access off-ramps in the State, which creates a more uniform and consistent highway system that meets drivers’ expectations. It is the Department’s policy to keep persons informed and involved when such projects are undertaken. It is important that the community share its concerns with us to assist in the project’s development. At this time, it is anticipated that an informational meeting or formal public hearing will not be necessary. The project is scheduled to begin construction in the Spring of 2023. Anyone interested in requesting information on this project may contact Ms. Natasha A. Fatu, Project Manager, at Natasha.Fatu@ct.gov. FAIRFIELD'S FIRST RESPONDERS POLICE & FIRE GRANTED NEW RADIO SYSTEMS The Board of Selectmen recently voted to upgrade our Police and Fire Departments' 30-year-old radio system. The departments will be receiving $7 million to install a system that is compatible with the state's Public Safety Radio System, allowing them to efficiently communicate with neighboring Towns. Half of the funding comes from a federal grant and the remaining $3.5 million will come from the Town - a considerable investment in our Town's safety.

SUSTAINABLE TASK FORCE | HEATSMART CAMPAIGN HeatSmart is a statewide initiative designed to help homeowners cut their energy costs while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions that is now coming to Fairfield. To take part, the first step is getting a home energy evaluation under the Energize CT program. Utility-certified technicians will evaluate your home’s energy performance and make energy-saving fixes such as sealing air leaks and installing energy-efficient LED lights and low-flow showerheads. Residents also receive written recommendations for deeper energy-saving measures such as high-efficiency windows and appliances. The evaluation is $50 for most residents; no-cost evaluations are free for income-eligible residents. Information sessions for residents on HeatSmart and heat pump technology will be held on Saturday, December 3rd, 10 AM, at the Pequot Library, and Monday, January 9th, 6:30 PM, at the Fairfield Woods Branch Library. A home energy evaluation can be arranged by signing up at one of the information sessions. Information on the program is also available on the HeatSmart Fairfield website.

COMMUNITY EVENTS STICKS FOR SOLDIERS Young Americans too often come back from foreign wars with life-changing wounds. As we carry on with our lives, they struggle for the rest of theirs. To help ease that struggle, the Fairfield Ludlowe High School boys and girls lacrosse programs hosted teams across Connecticut for the 16th Annual Sticks for Soldiers Thanksgiving Lacrosse Classic last weekend. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Tournament Chair Bob Vitale and the entire Sticks for Soldiers team for their consistent dedication to their mission to support the future needs of severely wounded soldiers, and promote youth awareness of military service through this state-wide event. I am also very proud that our Town's Assistant Fire Chief George Gomola was selected to be this year's keynote speaker. In 15 years, the tournament, which is held every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, has raised over $1,000,000. It was a pleasure to meet this year's honoree, U.S. Marine SSG (Ret.) Brandon Laird, and his wife, Jodi. Brandon has shared his story in hopes that it may reach that hurting warrior and save a life. You can read Brandon's inspiring story here.

The Lure of the Garden: The Enduring Desire to Work and Shape the Land Whether for pleasure or practicality, humanity’s relationship with the soil has been sustained since we quite literally planted roots as a species over 6,000 years ago. The Lure of the Garden invites visitors to explore the enduring desire to shape and cultivate the land, from the propagation of the “three sisters” – corn, beans, and squash – by Native Americans, to garden clubs, war-era Victory Gardens, and community and pollinator gardens. With materials dating back to the 1500s, the Monroes and the Wakemans, founders of the library, sought to curate a collection that would be democratic — of use to all classes of society from the financier to the farmer. Pequot Library’s Special Collections reflect the changing tastes, styles, and purposes of gardens, as well as their enduring lure. (On view in the Pequot Library’s Perkin Gallery from June 23, 2022 – February 5, 2023). For more programming, visit Upcoming Events – Pequot Library.
