The pizza
truck has been booked for next year, on the last Friday evening before the
General Meeting.
The erosion
study has been submitted to DEEP and has still not been responded to.
An article
in the Hartford Courant today is all about a man on the CT River who put up a
breakwater to prevent his property from erosion/sliding into the river. The
State of CT told him to take it down, so the property owner took his case to
the supreme court and lost – he must remove the breakwater! So we must move in
accordance with the law.
DEEP may
take 1-2 years to respond to us.
3 families

Motion to

By laws: the
last document we have is from 2004, so Sharon Bender and Laura Petchler have
incorporated all the voted in amendments and edits since then. The document
will be circulated via email to everyone, and please send in suggestions to a
list of contacts that George will provide.
Is there a
need for any new rule? Any changes? The suggested changes will be presented at
the next General Meeting and at the General meeting after that they will be
voted upon. Should the document “legislative Act” that created the borough be
included in the by laws? SBA came into
being in around 1900 and we became a borough some years later.
This is an
important step and all are invited to participate.
Thank you to
Mary Rottblatt, Vy Kava and Marie Garabedian for putting together the breakfast
today!

new business? Peter Black brought up that a bench is needed at the playground
