Town Council 07/13/2026

The Town Council of Southington held a meeting on July 13, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related topics were discussed. Key discussions included budget management for school building projects, with reports indicating projects like the high school and school roof were under budget and only bonding the necessary amounts to avoid overtaxing residents. The council debated reimbursement requests related to a volunteer thank-you pizza party and plaques for the Library Building Committee, with motions passed to approve the pizza party reimbursement but deny the plaques reimbursement due to lack of proper documentation and adherence to town policies. Additionally, tax refunds were approved as presented. Public communications focused on concerns about fire department staffing and EMS contract issues, but no direct procurement actions were taken on those topics. The meeting concluded with appointments and reappointments to various boards and commissions.
