Greetings from Town Hall!

The main theme of my administration is environmental and land use issues. Let’s save Easton!

WILDLIFE IN EASTON! (Please send image contributions to treynolds@eastonct.gov.)

CONSERVATION, LAND USE, WATERSHED, & ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION ISSUES

DAN LENT and ELLIE, featured in “EASTON NEIGHBORS” MAGAZINE. In the linked article, you’ll find background about my hometown Easton roots and my perspectives, especially on environmental and education issues. HERE

EARTH DAY VIDEO by the Connecticut Land Conservation Council: A video shared by the Connecticut Land Conservation Council and partner organizations on Earth Day highlights the importance of protecting natural lands across the state and celebrates ongoing efforts to conserve open space, wildlife habitats, and community resources for future generations.

HELP PROTECT EASTON’S TREES FROM VINES: We encourage Easton homeowners to take a walk around their properties and cut back invasive vines that climb and strangle trees—especially along unmanaged property borders. These vines can grow several inches thick over time and place significant stress on trees, often leading to long-term damage or loss. Simply cutting them as close to the ground as possible with shears or loppers can make a big difference. If it can be done safely, residents may also consider addressing vine growth along roadways near their property. On any given drive through town, it’s easy to see how many trees are struggling under the weight of unchecked climbers. A little attention now can help preserve Easton’s natural beauty for years to come.

NATURAL DIVERSITY DATA BASE (NDDB): DEEP has released a study with recommendations to improve and streamline its NDDB program, which reviews potential impacts to endangered species in state permitting. The report calls for improved mapping tools, earlier consultation, clearer timelines, streamlined repeat reviews, and upgrades to the online submission system to increase efficiency, transparency, and predictability. A key recommendation is expanded species mapping—similar to other Northeast states—which could reduce or eliminate the need for seasonal field surveys and significantly speed up reviews. The study follows 2025 permitting reform legislation and aligns with DEEP’s “20BY26” initiative. DEEP notes that recent investments, including added staff and automated reviews, have already reduced processing times, with most reviews now completed in under 35 days. This is an important opportunity to learn about proposed improvements and provide input. Individuals are encouraged to participate. For more information, click HERE.

FREE BIRD GUIDE: Pick up a waterproof Backyard Birds of the Northeast guide, now available at Town Hall on a first-come, first-served basis. Courtesy of Bill Karesh, these handy, easy-to-use guides are perfect for bird lovers of all ages—whether you’re identifying visitors at your backyard feeder or exploring local trails. Stop by and grab one while supplies last!

ASPETUCK LAND TRUST EXPANDS POLLINATOR MEADOW: The Aspetuck Land Trust has received a $5,000 grant from the Connecticut Department of Agriculture to expand its orchard and pollinator meadow at Trout Brook Valley Preserve. The project will help prevent invasive overgrowth while supporting pollinators and future farming efforts. Plans include doubling the current one-acre meadow, reinforcing the Trust’s commitment to sustainable agriculture and land stewardship.

EASTONITE and ASPETUCK LAND TRUST PRESIDENT, BILL KRAEKEL, recently joined conservation leaders in Washington, D.C. for the Land Trust Alliance’s annual Advocacy Days, helping bring Connecticut’s voice to the national conversation on land and environmental protection. Alongside CLCC Executive Director Amy Blaymore Paterson, https://ctconservation.org Bill met with members of Connecticut’s Congressional delegation to advocate for strong federal support of conservation priorities, including a robust Farm Bill with dedicated funding for forest conservation, timely release of Highlands Conservation Act funds, and protection of the U.S. Forest Service and its critical climate and forestry programs. Bill’s participation reflects Easton’s ongoing commitment to preserving natural resources and ensuring that local conservation values are represented at the national level. Thanks, Bill! https://www.aspetucklandtrust.org/boardmembers

PUBLIC SAFETY: Please remember to “slow down in our town” and not speed.

AVOIDING COSTLY LITIGATIONS: Overall, we have reduced legal expenses greatly and avoided many potential lawsuits. We do need an additional projected 50k (down from 100-150k more as discussed at the Board of Finance in December) to finish the fiscal year -- so we were able to do a lot more legally -- using much less than planned. For example, we saved a lot of potential costs by using labor lawyer, Zachary D. Schurin of Pullman & Comley LLC, who has been instrumental in helping the Town navigate and resolve union collective bargaining contract issues originating from early last year. He summarily provided clear guidance throughout a complex process, ensuring that all matters were handled professionally and very efficiently.

REMINDER - PUBLIC HEARINGS AND MEETINGS

1. Please support the proposed budget during this difficult budget year. The budget referendum vote is on Tuesday, May 5th at SSES from 6 AM to 8 PM. Please see the joint statement here from BOF Chair Art Laske and myself HERE. I encourage all residents to review the budget slide presentation materials HERE from the Board of Finance and Board of Education material HERE for transparency. Turnout at the many informational meetings was low - so I do want residents to be aware that proposed tax increase stem mostly from the underbudgeting of teacher’s health care claims by 1 million dollars. That one addition added about 2% to the spending increase which went from 3.28% to 5.28% (This a 2% increase in spending -- in what would be otherwise be a more typical budget of a 3.28% increase). As discussed at the Annual Meeting this equates to a 6.98% increase in mill rates.

Thank you to our long-time Board of Finance Chair Art Laske and our Board of Finance members for leading this very difficult process, including managing to reduce the initial budget proposals substantially in an equitable fashion. I note that I included $428,727 in Selectman’s cuts. As in any municipal budget, there will be severe consequences if the budget does not pass especially during this difficult year. Again, please support the proposed budget while we all try to improve the situation in the future.

State Educational Funding & Where Our Tax Dollars Go: There are often questions about the Education Cost Sharing (ECS) formula and whether Easton “sends” money to the state to fund other school districts. Easton residents do contribute significantly to the State of Connecticut through state income taxes. In return, the Town will receive about $302,000 in ECS funding to support our schools from the state’s ECS funding formula. Due to the greatly increasing trends in the costs of the required, but unfunded educational mandates -- Easton and other towns could obviously greatly use much more state education funding however, so far, additional funding has not been made available. I encourage residents to contact their legislators to ask for additional state education funding legislation for Easton.

1. The next regular Zoning Board of Appeals meeting will be on Tuesday, May 5^th, at 5:30 pm at Easton Town Hall, Conference Room A.
2. The next regular Planning and Zoning Commission meeting will be on Tuesday, May 5^th, at 7:00 pm at the Senior Center at 650 Morehouse Rd.
3. The next Planning and Zoning meeting regarding the proposed Saddle Ridge 26 home cluster housing development is scheduled for Tuesday, June 2nd, at 7:00 pm at SSES.

I WAS SO HAPPY TO ATTEND THE 84TH BIRTHDAY OF DOLLY CURTIS! A beloved Easton resident since 1979, Dolly is a familiar and friendly face in our community—known for her public access television work, support of the arts, and dedication to local history. Through her interviews, exhibits at the Easton Public Library, and volunteer spirit, Dolly has enriched town life for decades. We’re grateful for all she does and wish her a wonderful birthday!

SENIOR TAX RELIEF PROGRAM: Click HERE for information. Deadline May 15, 2026.

REQUIRED 2026 REVALUATION UNDERWAY: Homeowners are asked to review, complete, and return the mailers at their earliest convenience. If anyone has received a damaged Data Verification Letter, they should contact Municipal Valuation Services directly at (203) 292-5500 to request a replacement.

SHELTER UPDATE: These dogs deserve more than a kennel—they deserve a person to love and a home where they can truly thrive. Each one is ready to give loyalty, companionship, and unconditional love to the right family. Please help spread the word so they have the chance to find the caring homes they deserve and live their very best lives.

APPLEJACK is the kind of dog that earns your trust and never lets you go. This seasoned 11-year-old Heeler is fully trained – stops and sits at every curb, walks beautifully on a leash, and is loyal to her person to the core. She is a love puddle happy with a good walk, a cozy bed, and a toy or two. Don’t let her age fool you – she’s got plenty of life left. As a true Heeler, she has a strong prey drive (squirrel beware!), so she’d thrive as an only pet in a home with older kids and an adult who can handle 85 pounds with opinions. Applejack deserves a soft landing – could that be your home?

PARKER is pure swagger in a 2-year-old body. The Jack Russell-Basset Hound mix has the confidence of a dog three times his size and joie de vivre to match - he will absolutely make you laugh! Give him 15 minutes to suss you out, and he’ll be your best friend for life. Parker loves walks, is loyal to his humans, and has curiosity to spare. He’d benefit from some basic training to channel that big personality, but honestly, his sass is half the charm! Cat-free home preferred. Ready to live his best life with someone who appreciates extra flair.

Meet SNOOPY – the dog with the underbite, the zoom energy, and the biggest heart in the room. This 4-year-old mix spent his early years as a support dog, giving comfort until his human could no longer keep him. He lost his job through no fault of his own, and now he is looking for someone to love. Snoopy is goofy, joyful, and loyal to the bone. He’ll zoom circles around you, savor every walk, and remind you daily that life is good. Give this sweet boy the forever home he’s always deserved.

If interested, please reach out to the Easton Animal Control at 203-268-9172.

Please contact me for any reason if I can help.

Thanks!

THREE TOWN TOUR - MAY 30 - AS PART OF AMERICA 250
From its earliest days, Fairfield was a sprawling town. Stretching from the Saugatuck River in the west to what is now Bridgeport’s Park Avenue in the east, and northward to the hills of Redding, Fairfield’s original bounds encompassed a vast and dynamic region. With a flourishing population, new parishes and religious beliefs took root and distant communities began to forge their own paths. Thus emerged the neighboring towns of Redding, Westport, Weston, and Easton—shaped from Fairfield lands. Join us for a special bus tour to discover the unique stories found in Fairfield, Weston, and Easton and explore the shared history among all three towns. At the end of the bus tour, join us for a special opening reception for the special exhibition “Happy Anniversary! Centenary Celebrations & Beyond” at the Fairfield Museum. Co-presented by Weston History & Culture Center and Historical Society of Easton. Registration is required. $80 per person. Buy tickets HERE

This event was organized by a group of volunteers and will culminate with a concert featuring the entire Greater Bridgeport Symphony on Saturday, May 30^th at 7:00 pm at Joel Barlow High School in the school's theater. This is a two-town event despite its name. About half of the money raised thus far has come from Easton residents, and the fact that there will be Easton students participating in the concert is significant to the Town.
