Want the Cliff's Notes from the Feb. 9 Town Council Meeting?

Major Council Actions:
🔹️The Council voted to appropriate $75,000 in ARPA (federal) funding to cover cost overruns for the Town Green Upgrade project. No discussion occurred of what the nature of the cost overruns were.
🔹️Councilor Naomi Rodriguez (pictured) denounced the acts by Bacon Academy fans against our High School Womens' Basketball players. 
 Mayor's Report:
🔹️Masks will be optional in Town Buildings starting today, Feb. 10.
🔹️The initial Governor's budget apparently included a reduction in PILOT funding. The Mayor and Council will ask the state legislative delegation to push for full funding.

💻The Public Information Forum about ARPA spending is Tuesday, 2/15. See more information at www.ledyardct.org. 
💻The Administration Committee is considering how Town Commissions, Council and Boards can move to hybrid meetings (under consideration is whether meetings should be held in person, hybrid, or full virtual, and how to work out the logistics of the various options).

If you are interested in knowing when town meetings are coming up, we provide guidance at www.ledyarddtc.com under Town Info!
