Board of Selectpersons (Regular Meeting) - 9/2/2026

The FairTV Government Board of Selectpersons held a regular meeting on September 2, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related items were discussed. The board approved a contract agreement between the Alliance for Community Empowerment, Inc. and Fairfield Social Services for the Connecticut Energy Assistance Program for 2026-2027, authorizing the first select person to sign related documents. They also accepted a grant to study sea level rise and erosion control on Jennings Beach, which involves no direct cost to the town aside from staff time. Additionally, the board approved a matching grant project to create historical informational signs about Fairfield's Black population, with broad community support and collaboration with the Fairfield Museum. Updates were provided on the upcoming capital planning workshop and ongoing discussions about speed camera program signage and related public concerns. The meeting included motions to enter executive sessions to discuss a potential claim settlement and collective bargaining strategy. No new contracts or large capital expenditures were approved during this session, but several grant acceptances and contract authorizations were noted.
