Greenwich Selectmen To Review Hamill Rink Referral, Flag-Raising Requests, Road Closures, And More

GREENWICH, CT — The Greenwich Board of Selectmen is scheduled Thursday morning to consider next steps for a proposed new Hamill Ice Rink, along with traffic safety policy, parade road closures, ceremonial flag requests and other business.

The board will meet Thursday, Feb. 12, at 10:30 a.m. in the Cone Room at Town Hall, 101 Field Point Road, in an in-person session, according to the agenda. There is no virtual option for the meeting.

Under New Business, the selectmen are expected to consider a first read request to refer the proposed new Hamill Municipal Rink to the Planning and Zoning Commission for municipal improvement status. The referral, presented by Director of Facilities Luigi Romano, would begin the formal land-use review process for the municipal project and is listed for discussion and possible action.

In Old Business, the board is scheduled to take up a second read of the Safe Streets Greenwich Safety Action Plan, a resolution declaring the town’s commitment to eliminating fatal and serious injury crashes by 2040. The item is being presented by the Department of Public Works.

Other New Business includes a first read request for temporary road closures on Field Point Road, West Putnam Avenue and Greenwich Avenue for the March 22 St. Patrick’s Parade, as well as proposals for a charter change regarding the number of signatures needed to submit an item to the Representative Town Meeting and an ordinance change establishing term limits for officers on town building committees.

The agenda also lists several ceremonial flag-raising requests on second read, including observances tied to Gen. Israel Putnam’s ride, Vietnam Veterans Day and United Nations Day.

The meeting is expected to conclude with a public hearing on a noise ordinance variance request from Burning Tree Country Club, followed by appointments and nominations.
