Latest East Windsor Selectmen's Report - May 17, 2016

It's been a quiet few weeks.

The Planning and Zoning Commission did not meet last week.

On Wednesday, 5/11, I attended the Board of Finance workshop after the defeat of Tuesday'sreferendum. The next referendum, scheduled for next week, will be a 1.82% spending increase. That means that the Board of Finance has now trimmed nearly $1 million from what was submitted to them by the Boards of Selectmen and Education. Those are not easy decisions to make, and the Board of Finance continues to do the hard work of finding a budget that meets the needs of our town and also meets the town's willingness to pay. I thank them for their good work.

Last night, I attended the East Windsor Housing Authority meeting. They signed the PILOT extension for one more year.

Next Tuesday is the next budget referendum. I encourage everyone to vote.

On June 4, there will be a bench dedication in memory of Nancy Fortin, the Lady in Red, at 11am at the East Windsor Park.

On June 14, the East Windsor AG Commission will be holding a forum pertaining to pollinator health. The event will be at 6pm at Scout Hall and is open to the public.

Respectfully submitted,

Jason E. Bowsza
Selectman
