Town Council Meeting - September 8, 2026

The Wethersfield Town Council meeting on September 8, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions and updates. The council approved the appointment of Tracy Morocco as the new town clerk. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the update of the Highcrest Elementary School construction project, which remains on budget and on schedule for groundbreaking in March 2027 and completion for the 2028 school year. The project includes detailed site plans, parking solutions, and environmentally sensitive stormwater management. The council also introduced an ordinance targeting human trafficking and illegal massage establishments, modeled after Danbury's ordinance, aiming to provide enhanced enforcement tools and licensing requirements. Additionally, the council discussed a parking lot lease agreement with First Church, which was tabled for further review due to concerns about cost and maintenance responsibilities. The supervisors union contract was approved, covering July 2026 to June 2030, with negotiated wage increases and prescription plan changes. The meeting also included a proposal to revise the capital improvement plan process to improve efficiency. No bids were presented for approval during this session.
