Re: Previous DSS now State of Connecticut Department of Housing (DOH) contract

The City of Danbury relies heavily on the State of Connecticut Department of Housing to assist in

funding the Emergency Shelter and Day Center operational costs. The contract Amendment letter

received in August explained in detail the change of operations from one State Department to the

other; but it is important to note that the contract has been increased to include HMIS costs'

Therefore; the new total maximum amount payable under this existing contract, from l0/01/2012

through 6/30/2014, was increase for the current fiscal year to $l17,756.00 from $90,870.00 for a total

contract budget of $208,626.00.

There are no matching requirements for this funding amount. This grant will provide funding for

salaries that include part time shelter aide and shelter night staff and other operational expenses in

providing support services for the shelter 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Sincerely.

FIRE CHIEF'S MONTHLY REPORT

I hereby submit my report as Fire Chief of the Danbury Fire Department, which covers the period of 21 July through 21 August 2013 and details activities of the Department. I want to thank James Johnson for his 40 years of service to our community and the department. Jim retired on 17 August ending his illustrious career serving as our City Fire Marshal. He has been an incredible asset and his legacy will continue in the safer community he leaves behind. We wish him and his wife Sue a long, healthy and happy retirement. As we move into the cooler New England fall, there are some safety tips we wish to convey. With school back in session we want to remind everyone that the school buses on our roads make frequent stops. Please be sure to allow plenty of room as they stop to pick up or discharge students. It is very important to not crowd the buses and to obey the stop signs and flashing lights. We also have many more students on our streets walking or biking to the schools or bus stops. Please be vigilant. Our health and safety message this month is about concussions and how to recognize them. With school sports programs again in full swing, this message from the CDC will help in this effort. WHAT IS A CONCUSSION? Concussion, a type of traumatic brain injury, is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head. Concussions can also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move quickly back and forth—causing the brain to bounce around or twist within the skull. This sudden movement of the brain can cause stretching and tearing of brain cells, damaging the cells and creating chemical changes in the brain. HOW CAN I RECOGNIZE A POSSIBLE CONCUSSION? To help spot a concussion, you should watch for and ask others to report the following two things: 1. A forceful bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that results in rapid movement of the head.

2. Any concussion signs or symptoms, such as a change in the athlete’s behavior, thinking, or physical functioning. Signs and symptoms of concussion generally show up soon after the injury. But the full effect of the injury may not be noticeable at first. For example, in the first few minutes the athlete might be slightly confused or appear a little bit dazed, but an hour later he or she can’t recall coming to the practice or game. You should repeatedly check for signs of concussion and also tell parents what to watch out for at home. Any worsening of concussion signs or symptoms indicates a medical emergency. It’s better

THE FACTS A concussion is a brain injury. All concussions are serious. Concussions can occur without loss of consciousness. Concussions can occur in any sport. Recognition and proper management of concussions when they first occur can help prevent further injury or even death.

Public Education / Prevention / Public Relations Pre-incident familiarization took place at the new Army Reserve Center and Abbey Woods as well as a review of the planned I-84 bridge construction in Brewster, NY. We have kicked off the Smoke Alarm home distribution program funded by a FEMA grant and implemented by the Fire Marshals’ Office and an Engine Company.

Suppression / Response Activities of Note We seem to be getting an increased number of Search and Rescue calls in the woods. Keeping up with that trend, a crew went into the woods near Lake Waubeeka to search for a distraught individual. Using GPS and Thermal Imaging technology, the individual was found very quickly and brought to safety. It has been a very busy summer with traumatic injuries from accidents and the crews have responded to a number of serious and tragic accidents, including a fatal motorcycle accident on Lake Avenue.

Regional Haz-Mat

The Danbury Fire Department has recently taken delivery of $46,000 worth of Hazardous Materials Training equipment paid for by the Department Of Emergency Management and Homeland Security Region Five. These props, which operate off of our propane gas installation at the Plumtrees Rd. Training Facility, will create realistic response scenarios for our First Responders, testing their tactical thinking and resource management skills.

The third new staff car has arrived and is at the graphics shop being lettered. Truck-2 has been doing the lion’s share of truck duties here while Truck- 1 is out of service for extensive repairs. Last week however, during driver training, the turbocharger in Truck-2’s engine suffered a violent failure. We were able to obtain a rebuilt turbocharger and place this unit back in service the next day. Truck-1 had a failed cylinder head gasket as a result of broken cylinder head bolts. The engine work is complete and Truck-1 is now at the Pierce dealer in Rocky Hill, CT having some computer related updates performed. We have assembled the S.C.B.A. units and breathing air bottles for the new recruits to attend the August Fire Academy.

Repaired LDH intake E-26 Completed service 01 Tahoe including new brakes Serviced 03FT and 03FT2 Repairs to Foam Unit Scheduled warranty repairs to 12FE

Community Risk Reduction Office of the Fire Marshal – Provisional FM Gillotti DFM’s Leach and Perry have been busy with Boehringer-Ingelheim, conducting fire drills and witnessing sprinkler testing. There has been quite a bit of work done at the Mall this month. Many stores are remodeling and many inspections and follow-ups have taken place this month. The new smoke alarm initiative has already received 4 calls to CRR with 4 inspections scheduled. This weekend will mark the beginning of the on-duty Fire Marshal and Engine Company going through the neighborhoods with the smoke alarms. DFM Osborne is doing a presentation at the Jericho House – Fire Prevention of course being the topic. Fire drills have been done at Ethan Allen this month as well as the new Head Start School on Foster Street. Fire extinguisher training was attended by 25 employees at Preferred Utilities on South Street. DFM Perry did a community service presentation at Mill Ridge School for students in K-3. We are trying to finish up this month with school inspections; DFM Gillotti has been to Sacred Heart as well as King Street Primary for problems and inquiries; all was rectified. Our regular monthly inspections are progressing as expected. We are currently planning for the Taste of Danbury, ordering pamphlets to distribute as well as starting to put together materials for the school presentations in October.

IT Special Assignment – Rich Gallagher This past month the locating and GPS tagging of all of the hydrants within the city was completed; this process revealed 2,031 hydrants. The next step of this process is to teach the company officers on the use of the FD iPads and the Firehouse FH Inspector application. This will be used to mark all of the hydrants with a unique ID that will be shared between the FD and Public Utilities Dept. for hydrant service management. The process of applying a GPS coordinate to the hydrant(s) will allow the Fire Department to view them on a map. For example, a map of the Danbury Fair Mall can be generated to show the 21 hydrant locations around the property.

Upcoming tasks are as follows:

Working with the Fire Marshal group on the use of the iPad for their occupancy inspections.

Working with Training to create training programs within Firehouse. Working with Maintenance to get a current inventory of equipment on the

apparatus.

HOUSING AND FOOD PROTECTION PROGRAM NARRATIVE 4

The statistical report reflects field activities conducted in connection with housing, public health and food

service functions undertaken by the department. This narrative report is intended to summarize administrative

activities and enforcement actions initiated by these sections. The narrative also highlights tasks and initiatives

that may be of special interest.

The inspectors were not required to make court appearances. Several other cases were resolved by the City’s

attorneys prior to court hearings being held. While every effort is made to encourage cooperation to correct

violations, non-compliance with department orders leads to court action and possible penalties for contempt of

court.

The department continues to participate in systematic and complaint inspections with the UNIT program as

needed. Our Department inspectors serve as the liaison’s to UNIT and participates in inspections as requested.

The department also investigates complaints throughout the city referred through the Mayor’s complaint line

and from other departments in addition to complaints filed directly with the department. The department also

receives complaints and service requests through the 311 system. Food service inspections for the month were

affected by the extended leave of a full-time food service inspector.

The department’s lead poisoning prevention efforts for the month included monitoring of laboratory reports

regarding blood lead levels in children in cooperation with the Connecticut Department of Public Health. Staff

made contacts with clients in need of follow up tests according to State testing protocols. Preparations were also

made to deal with the increased activity expected to result from the implementation of Connecticut’s new law

that mandates universal blood lead testing of all children in Connecticut. The law went into effect on January 1,

2009 and has resulted in an increase in department activity in the monitoring and follow up of child blood lead

test results. Increased testing may also result in the need for more mandatory environmental inspections by the

department to address individual cases of elevated blood lead levels. The law also lowers the action level for

triggering such investigations. The department also performed functions as a community partner in the LAMPP

Program during the month. Participation makes Danbury property owners eligible to apply for grant funds to

abate lead paint, replace windows and perform other repairs necessary to make units lead safe. One application

involving a Danbury property is under consideration by LAMPP. In addition, the Health department has

submitted program grant application to the HUD Healthy Homes Production and LAMPP. Danbury as a partner

will be included in this exciting initiative!

Services to the Health Department and Danbury Home owners will include: Health Intervention providing, Rug

replacement; Ventilating fan installation; Mold/mildew removal, etc. LAMPP will provide training the

following: Training on healthy homes issues, Assessment tools (HUD Program & IPAD), Training on

assessment process. LAMPP will also provide energy efficiency assessments of homes partnering with

Northeast Utilities

The housing section also provides staff support for the Danbury Fair Rent Commission. The half-time fair

housing officer received two fair rent inquiries during February. The officer received one housing discrimination

inquiry. The staff also serves to assist the Danbury Housing Partnership and staff their meetings as well as the

Continuum of Care.

Department of Police Matthew McNally, Lieutenant 375 Main Street Patrol Division

August 10, 2013

MEMORANDUM

To: Chief Alan D. Baker

From: Lt. Matthew McNally

Subject: Police Explorer Monthly Activity Report – July 2013

This month the Explorer Program was in full swing starting with the Danbury Fair Mall Fireworks

display on Tuesday, July 3rd. The relationship between the Danbury Fair Mall and the Danbury Police

Explorer Program is a strong community partnership that dates back to the very first Danbury Fair Mall

Fireworks display over a decade ago. Danbury Fair, under Macerich, Inc., has been a strong supporter of

the Danbury Police Explorers and this support has been lead by current General Manager, Maura Ruby.

The Explorers have worked with mall security in all its incarnations, and one of the staple events is the

annual fireworks evening. This year we had approximately 53 Explorers of the Post on hand to

supplement the security personnel on property. Explorers conducted informational/safety patrols in the

early part of the evening. Once the fireworks began, the Explorers took up traffic control positions

throughout the mall property and assisted the Special Events hired DPD officers with getting the

thousands of vehicles safely out of the mall parking lot and onto the roadways. The Explorers also

assisted with locating missing persons, “fire watches” and provided a visible physical deterrent for

security purposes. During the event, an Explorer on a bicycle was struck by vehicle that was exiting the

parking garage area. The Explorer did not sustain any injuries, but a PR-1 MVA report was completed

by the 4-12 shift.

Also, the Explorer golf cart, which was being utilized at this event, had a mechanical problem which

made it necessary to be towed back to headquarters and then out to Best Golf Cart’s for service repair.

(See attached vehicle report for details)

The Danbury Westerners Baseball Team requested that the Danbury Police Explorer Honor

Guard present the colors at the opening of their home game against a team from Canada on July 7th

. 5

Explorers, under the direction of Civilian Associate Advisor Kevin Almeida, attended the game and

represented for our Post. They switched out one of the usual flags and presented both the US Flag and

the Canadian Flag for the presentation of both national anthems prior to the start of the game.

The week of July 13th

through the 20th

saw two of our Explorers, Heather Beardsley and Ashley Pinto,

living the Army life in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Both Explorers were chosen from thousands of

applicants to attend the National Law Enforcement Explorer Leadership Academy. They were

chosen to attend the U.S. Army Military Police program. They were among 30 Explorers from

throughout the country to participate in this rigorous training and educational program. At the

conclusion of the week, Heather Beardsley was honored with the coveted Leadership Award plaque.

Heather with her Award Ashley and Heather with their diplomas

On Wednesday, July 10th

, the Cadet Police Academy Board of Director’s meeting was held at the

Connecticut Municipal Police Academy. This was the final meeting prior to this year’s academy. P.O.

Antedomenico, Range Program Director, and I attended. The Cadet Police Academy is in its fourth year.

Over 400 cadet/explorers have registered for this year, along with approximately 80 “in residence” adult

staff. At this meeting, the Board of Directors finalized the set-up for this year’s academy and began

discussions as to changes for the 2014 CPA. The next planning meeting will take place in September.

We have begun to put together the 2014 Academy at this point, and as past CPA Executive Director, I

am putting together a new, more advanced program for next year (2014), with an emphasis on

Homeland Security and Terrorism prevention for older cadets (age 18 and older) to participate in.

On July 20th

, during the day, approximately 14 Explorers and I assisted Danbury Hospital EMS and the

Department of Public Health at City Hall with the all-day training for the Community Emergency

Response Team program. Explorers role played for the medical and disaster portions of the classroom

instruction, utilizing their “moulage” training to create realistic wounds and injuries for triage training. It

should be noted that we also had 7 of our senior Explorers participate and graduate this session of

CERT. They are: Brianna McNally, Sienna Ratigan, Henry Camino, Bethany Sciortino, Kevin Posadas,

Johnny Quinde and Civilian Associate Advisor Robert Didato. We will be sending some others to the

next CERT class session to begin in September.

Saturday evening, July 20th

brought the Explorer Program up to the Danbury PAL gym on Hayestown

Road to play the Annual Explorers vs. NY Giants Alumni Basketball Game as part of our annual

fundraiser. The game was scheduled late this year, due to several issues. The heat of the week, and in

particular, this evening, made the attendance at the game sparse. The game was played anyways, and it

was announced with color commentary by Bart Busterna of WLAD radio, a veteran Danbury

sportscaster. The Explorers won a close game 48-44, an improvement from last year’s game which

ended in a tie.

Danbury Police Explorers New York Giants Alumni

On Saturday, July 27th

, the Explorers were asked to assist with the Jericho Partnership Parade from

Rogers Park to the Ives Street Green. We were asked to provide an Honor Guard to lead the parade,

which we did. Associate Advisor Sgt. Peter Tragni took care of the event, as the rest of us were at the

University of Hartford setting up and preparing the 4th

Annual Cadet Police Academy.

Also, on July 27th

, the North East Regional Law Enforcement Education Association’s 4th Annual

Cadet Police Academy began at the University of Hartford campus. The Academy ran from July 27th

for the adult staff; the 28th

for the cadets to arrive and who were graduated on August 3rd

, and the adult

staff secured on August 4th

. We ran many of the administrative executive staff operations required for

the week long in-residence academy that caters to approximately 500 cadets and staff. This is no small

feat, as we also had 29 cadet/explorers of our own program in attendance at the academy for the week in

the various different programs.

As stated, our Post had 29 Explorers attend the academy. Each had to pay the $400 fee by raising their

own money, as did the adult advisors who work the academy. In the past, the Post has been able to offer

some financial assistance to help our Explorers attend, but due to lackluster fundraising this past year,

the program did not have the money to assist with the costs. This was the first year that we were unable

to obtain scholarships for those economically challenged Explorers in the program to attend.

We had many Explorers win awards this year and or receive honors upon graduation. Their efforts were

stellar and several of our Explorers were in competition for the coveted awards against other Explorers

from our post. Also, many of our Explorers were put in leadership positions for their various programs

throughout the week.

In the Basic Program, Danbury Explorer Patrick Mengler almost swept the awards for this program. In

the middle of the week he received an award, with gifts, from the Connecticut State Police for writing

the Best Police Report. He was given his award in evening formation on Thursday evening. Then, at

Saturday’s Graduation ceremonies, Mengler was awarded the Highest Academic Average Honor Award

9

after testing. He then was also awarded First in Male Physical Agility as well. The Third Place award in

Female Physical Agility went to Gisell Posadas.

In the Basic Program, there are 4 squads of approximately 35 cadets. Each squad is led by a squad

leader/guidon, chosen by the Drill Instructors assigned to that squad. The squads are identified as Alpha,

Bravo, Charlie and Delta squads. Explorer Diana Rodriguez was chosen to lead Alpha Squad and

Explorer Gisell Posadas was chosen to lead Delta Squad. Both girls were the Guidons. In the drill

competition between the four squads, Delta squad won first place.

In the Advanced Program, which is known as the competition year, we had Explorer Ashley Pinto take

home four medals. She won First Place in Hostage Negotiation; First Place with the Highest Academic

Award; Third Place Shooting Individual and Third Place Shooting Team. Ashley shot a 295 score out of

a possible 300 in competition.

Explorers Felix Escobar and Jessica Culcay both took Second Place in Crime Scene Investigation.

Explorer Kevin Posadas along with Felix Escobar and Ashley Pinto also took Third Place Shooting

Team medals as well.

Also in the Advanced Program, Explorer Henry Peralta was chosen to be the Guidon for the program.

He was placed in charge of the 70+ cadets of this program. Kevin Posadas was named his assistant for

the week as well.

In the Police Mountain Bike Program, Explorer Rayniel Brito won the First Place award for successfully

completing the International Police Mountain Bike Association (IPMBA) test with the fastest time of

4:20. He even beat the sworn police officers who had taken the course during the week with the Cadets

and were being certified.

On the Thursday Night during free time, a Dance Contest was held among the cadets. Danbury

Explorers Ashley Abad and Jaime Velez took First Place. On Friday evening there was a Talent Show,

where the cadets can showcase their individual talents. Several of our Explorers, Matt McNally V,

Rayniel Brito, Amauri Almonte, Irsy Espinal, Henry Peralta, and Jose Lane, performing as the make-

shift band “Platanos” took the First Place Award.

Explorer Vehicle Status Report- prepared by Associate Advisor Dan Cohn

Note: During the month of July, several mechanical repairs were made to all three vehicles that are

attached to the Explorer Program. These repairs were made outside the City’s Public Works

mechanic/garage because these repairs were a “priority for the Post” to continue to operate and needed

to be completed with haste. These repairs include the following

131-DA (Red Ford Van, 1987)

Four new tires at cost to the program of $510.08 and interior door handle which was fixed by P.O.

Antedomenico in-house at no cost.

61-DA (Grey Chevy Van, 1994) Front passenger headlight trim $50.00; removal of driver’s side

running board due to rot/rusting of undercarriage and replacement of driver’s window motor $200.00,

and A/C unit was partially fixed – all items repaired at Ingersoll Chevrolet on Federal Road.

Cart-33 (White Yamaha golf cart) Golf cart was brought in for a tune-up, new battery and new

windshield for a total cost of $350.00.

During the month of July the Explorer program spent a total of $1,110.08 in maintenance costs for

vehicles.

since last month’s report as the growing trend for all Exploring programs in the country continues.

RE: Monthly report for July 2013

Dear Mayor Boughton and Members of the City Council:

I am pleased to present the Public Works Department report for the month of July.

A ceremonial Groundbreaking for the four school projects was held on July 30, 2013.Mayor

Boughton, Dr. Pasquarella and State Senator Jan Geigler spoke eloquently in support of the

projects and about the need for the additions. As you will see in the Construction Services

Division report, the work is well underway at all four locations.

The paving program is well on its way with the Highway Division doing a considerable amount

of drainage work in advance of the actual paving. There is a strong focus on getting the paving

done before school starts.

Should you have any questions regarding any of the separately submitted division reports please

call me at 203-797-4537.

Construction Services Report submitted by Thomas Hughes III, Superintendent:

Tarrywile Park: Construction Services has been assisting with the architectural services for the

School House Project renovation. A Board of Awards has been scheduled. Once the Architect is

onboard we will bid out the School House Renovation for Tarrywile Park Authority and

administer the project. The project has been funded through a LOCIP Grant .

2

Head Start: Banton Construction continues to move forward we are 85% complete with the

punch list.

Osborne Street at Fifth Street Traffic Signal Installation-ConnDot project 34-344:

Construction Services has been approved by ConnDot to perform the contract administration and

inspection of the project, eliminating the need to hire an outside consultant. The contractor, A.M.

Rizzo, is continuing with the submittal phase of the project. The civil portion of the project has

begun, installing the underground conduits and traffic control mast-arm foundations. One Mast

Arm Foundation has been installed. The ground water table was discovered to be extremely high

requiring the Design Engineer to adjust the remaining three Mast Arm Foundations due to this

unforeseen condition. We have met with ConnDot District IV to approve the change. A.M. Rizzo

will be submitting a proposed change order for the additional work required.

Danbury High School Auditorium: Under the Honeywell Energy Efficiency project, we were

able to install a 102 Ton HVAC unit. The unit has been placed on the roof and the unit has been

started. Honeywell is dialing in the software for remote control of the system presently setting

temperature points etc. The system is online and working presently, by the end of the month all

the settings / software controls will be complete and turned over to Public Buildings.

School Additions: Shelter Rock, Stadley Rough, Park Avenue and Mill Ridge Intermediate: Construction Services is administrating the school additions project. All four of the schools have

signed contracts and Notice to Proceed documents issued.

The Mill Ridge School sub-contractors have mobilized and begun the abatement and demolition

phase of the contract.

Stadley Rough School Phase One work is completed. The new drainage system, sidewalks, curbs

Highway Division Report submitted by Duke Hart, Superintendent of Public Services:

July was once again a very busy month for the Highway Division. The construction crews were

heavily involved with basin repairs on King Street, Ta’Agan Point Road and High Rise Road in

preparation for paving, which has been performed. The paving on West Wooster and Wooster

Streets was completed with installation of curbs, aprons and backfilling. New drainage was

installed on Robinhood Drive and extended onto East Gate Road to alleviate ground water

issues. A construction crew was deployed to the Farrington Park property to build a parking lot.

Catch basins were repaired and upgraded on Davis Street and Ryders Lane in preparation for the

next round of paving. A collapsed catch basin on Town Hill Avenue at Cottage Street was also

repaired. Two crews are out daily patching potholes and repairing aprons and curbs.

The sign crew installed five (5) new signs in addition to numerous repairs due to accidents or

vandalism. The garbage truck is out daily collecting litter, emptying trashcans and policing for

illegal dumping. Street sweeping is performed on a daily basis, weather permitting. A popular

destination for the residents remains to be the recycling truck locations.

Should you have any questions regarding this report, please feel free to contact me at 203-797-

Parks Maintenance Report submitted by Duke Hart, Superintendent of Public Services:

The month of July was very busy for the Parks Maintenance Division with mowing and

maintenance for the many summer activities. The City’s beaches and spray-parks are in full

swing. The crews have been hard at work maintaining all of the fields for the many sporting

programs throughout the City. The Parks Maintenance Division insures that all of these

organizations have great fields to play on every day. The City Center Green is cleaned and

prepared for the weekly concert series.

Forestry Division Report submitted by Mark Miller, Foreman, Forestry Department:

The Forestry Division had a very busy month performing various types of tree work. The crew

did cut backs and removals at Farrington Park in preparation for the parking lot project. Pruning

and cut-backs were performed on Ta’Agan Point Road and White Street. Two large, uprooted

trees were removed and clean-up work was done at Mill Ridge School.

Tree work was performed at the following locations: Boyce Road, Lakeside Avenue, Fir Drive,

Joe’s Hill Road, Miry Brook Road, Reservoir Street, Dee Hill Avenue, Beckett St, White Street,

Long Ridge Road, Sundance Road, Franklin Street Extension, Seneca Road, Aunt Hack Road

and Cherokee Drive. Hangers were removed on Balmforth Avenue, Haddy Lane and Kennedy

Public Buildings Report submitted by Rick Palanzo, Superintendent of Public Buildings:

City Hall: We saved enough money through efficient work practices to purchase new carpet for

Conference Room 3C. We will reuse the carpet in 3C to replace the worn carpet in front of the

permit center counter. This is a good reuse of carpet tile. We will also be replacing the walk off

carpet used at the entrances and elevators at City Hall which will improve the appearance of the

entrances and elevators, as the existing carpet had reached the end of its useful life. The work

will begin and be completed in August.

I am exploring an energy efficiency upgrade for the boiler room at City Hall. The project will

include the removal of one steam boiler and electric water heater; and replacing these items with

two high efficiency gas fired water boilers. The upgrade will save a good amount of fuel while

yielding a very comfortable environment. There have been two engineering firms that have been

at City Hall to review the current status and provide Public Buildings with a proposal. I hope to

include this work as a project for next summer. RZ Design, a mechanical-electrical engineering

firm has visited the City Hall to review the scope of work and will submit a proposal in August.

The intent is to design the project this year and fund the replacement in the 2014-2015 capital

budget.

At the request of the Mayor’s security task force, security measures will be taken to enhance the

safety of our staff so you may notice some changes around city hall in the signage and how the

stairwell doors operate. The center elevator will be used for staff and freight transport, the

elevator in the lobby will be available for visitors. The identification badges issued to staff and

elected officials will be required to access secure areas of the building. The Mayor’s security task

force has been working to make city hall a safer place to work. The changes will take place over

the next several months.

Farrington Park – Westside Open Space: The chow house at the Farrington Park is being

advertised for rent. It will be offered to employees’ first and if no employees are interested it will

be made available to the general public.

6

The Friends of the Library are currently using the main house to store their books prior to the

book sale. Once the sale is finished the building will be readied for the winter. This building is

slated for renovation in the spring.

Danbury Public Schools: The DHS energy project final phase will be to replace the auditorium

heating and ventilating system with a new energy efficient heating, ventilating and air

conditioning system. This has been a goal of many and will now come to fruition. The work has

begun and the unit will be operational for the start of the new school year.

There are two high voltage transformers at Danbury High School which CL&P has stated belong

to the school which are of the older design containing PCB’s. This year we are working with our

consulting electrical engineer to remove the PCB laden transformers and replace them with safer

models. Additionally, these transformers are in the school building. It is our goal to relocate them

outside of the school building which will increase safety and performance. We have retained

Friar Associates Engineers to perform the electrical engineering for the city. They have begun

their analysis. As this project develops, I will keep you informed of its progress.

There are two school buildings that require new roofs; Morris Street School and the Educational

Services Center. The H. B. Hickman Co. has been hired to perform the analysis and design of the

replacement roofs. The design work will begin in July. We intend to apply to the State Facilities

Unit for reimbursement of the Morris Street School Roof as it is eligible for state reimbursement.

This work will take place in the fall when pricing will be more competitive.

Library Annex: The Library annex is undergoing a major renovation. The renovated first floor

space will house the Danbury Innovation Center; a downtown think tank for inventors and

planners. Part of this first floor will house a café for the Danbury Library as well as the

Innovation Center patrons. The contractors for carpentry, mechanical, plumbing and electrical

work have been busy working on the project. The walls should be completed in July and the

building should be ready to open in September.

General: July and August are months that find the public building mechanics heavily involved in

school building repairs. Items that require building shut downs are performed at this time along

with numerous requests from the school custodians that could not be done while school was in

session.

Requests for Maintenance Service: Attached please find the statistical report of repairs and

maintenance work that the Public Buildings Mechanics engaged in during the month of July

2013.

In the month of July we received 142 new work requests and completed 117 work requests. In

reviewing this report, you will find the repair time that was expended in major work categories.

Public Building mechanics were engaged in Electrical repairs with a total of 192.00 man-hours

dedicated to this service. The next largest area of concentration was in Plumbing repair work,

utilizing 166.50 man-hours of labor. General Maintenance repairs came in as the third highest

category with 81.50 man-hours.

Should you have any questions regarding this report, please do not hesitate to contact me at 203-

797-4584. I am happy to discuss any portion of this report with you.

Re: Previous DSS now State of Connecticut Department of Housing (DOH) contract

The City of Danbury relies heavily on the State of Connecticut Department of Housing to assist in

funding the Emergency Shelter and Day Center operational costs. The contract Amendment letter

received in August explained in detail the change of operations from one State Department to the

other; but it is important to note that the contract has been increased to include HMIS costs'

Therefore; the new total maximum amount payable under this existing contract, from l0/01/2012

through 6/30/2014, was increase for the current fiscal year to $l17,756.00 from $90,870.00 for a total

contract budget of $208,626.00.

There are no matching requirements for this funding amount. This grant will provide funding for

salaries that include part time shelter aide and shelter night staff and other operational expenses in

providing support services for the shelter 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Sincerely.

Livable Neighborhoods 2013 “Building a Better Danbury”

August 2013 August 26, 2013

Honorable Mayor Boughton and City Council Members:

Below is a table highlighting UNIT activity from the time of last month’s City Council

report. This does not include any UNIT activity regarding follow up and re-inspection

work from previously noted issues. The UNIT works to ensure that each and every issue

is resolved as quickly as possible.

Time Period July 29 – August 26, 2013

Number of Quality of Life Issues 82

Year to Date 633

The top issues addressed by the UNIT were:

Blight/Miscellaneous (35)

Properties with debris on it (19)

Illegal Apartments/Overcrowding, Unpermitted Construction (10)

Abandoned/foreclosed houses (5)

Exterior Blight Order (4)

UNIT HIGHLIGHTS:

57 Deer Hill Ave update

Everyone knows about the house on Deer Hill at the corner of Wilson Street. Council

people have received complaints, the Mayor’s office, the News Times and the Patch have

written articles, and needless to say, our department has received the brunt of these

complaints and for good reason. The neighbors are fed up with having to look at the

2

condition of this house continually worsen. The house was purchased years ago in the

hopes of being restored and resold. Unfortunately, the economy worsened and the house

and property fell into disrepair. While, in the past, the UNIT had been able to work with

the property owner to do minor improvements, such as mow the lawn or have the

sidewalk cleared of snow, nothing substantial was ever accomplished…..until now. With

the enhancement of the Exterior Blight Order 10-99 through 10-106 that the City Council

approved a few months back, UNIT member Rich Antous, sent an order to the property

owner requiring for the property to be significantly improved. Grass to be mowed, house

secured, trees/saplings cut back, exterminate any rodent harborage, etc. Initial response

was poor and the order required compliance within 30 days or $100/day fine would be

issued. Thirty days came and went without any work being done, and Rich was

determined to improve the conditions at this property. In the meantime, the $100 daily

fine had begun and near the end of July, the property was still not in compliance and the

owner was facing a fine of almost $5000! Finally, after an appeal hearing, it was

determined to uphold the Blight Order and set the fine total at $3900. The property owner

had one week to comply to the order and a portion of his expenses towards the

improvements could be counted toward the fine.

As a result of Rich’s effort and commitment to overseeing this long drawn out process,

the eye sore on Deer Hill Ave has been significantly improved, thank you Rich!

Exterior Blight Citation Warnings Issued:

In July, the UNIT issued five (4) Exterior Blight Warnings to property owners. In this

case, thirty days are allowed for the property owner to remediate the issues highlighted

on the citation warning. If compliance isn’t achieved during this time frame, then our

department goes to the next step of issuing daily fines of $100/day until the issues have

been resolved.

Below is a review of the warnings sent:

59 Sheridan Street: Vacant property where it is not being maintained. The grass

is over 4’ high and the property is not secure as the rear and side doors have been

left open.

7 Olive Street: This property is a piece of land that has been for sale for the last

few years. It is between two other homes and has not been maintained. The grass

is never mowed and is frustrating to the adjoining property owners. The order

required for the property to be mowed and regularly maintained throughout.

54 Kenosia Avenue: An order was sent to the property owner as a result of this

vacant home not being maintained. The grass and weeds are very high and

beginning to grow up over the house. There are unregistered vehicles that have

been left on the property, and finally there is a small amount of rubbish around the

property. In the past, the UNIT has spoken to the owner about maintaining the

property, but it has not been done in a timely manner, thus, the order was sent.

3

28 Mountain Road: The UNIT sent an order to the property owner as a result of

an accumulation of rubbish/stored materials in the driveway. Everything is

covered with tarps and has been so for years. Not only is it blight, but it’s also an

unsafe condition as access to/from the house is impaired due to limited

accessibility as a result of the accumulation. Additionally, the front porch also

needs to be cleared of the rubbish as well.

Naturally, our department will follow up on all of these issues and more to ensure that

compliance is met and that the quality of life in our neighborhoods are restored and

maintained.

311 Call Center Report: June 2013

The month of June saw the 311 Call Center receive approximately 630 calls, with

requests for phone numbers bringing the highest total at 136 inquiries. The spring yard

debris pickup program, and its subsequent conclusion, brought 34 calls while 26 residents

called for information on the recycling truck, and its new location at the War Memorial.

Twenty-two residents called asking where they can dispose of household garbage while

13 additional calls were placed regarding Household Hazardous Waste Day (September

28 in Danbury) and 11 residents called looking for information on upcoming summer

events. Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and proactive in reporting

overgrown trees and bushes that may be considered a potential road hazard. Summer is

typically a busy time for road repairs, drainage work, and other large-scale projects; by

keeping in close contact with respective city departments, the 311 Call Center is well-

prepared to provide the most accurate information available for residents seeking updates

and information.

The UNIT continues to encourage the participation of Danbury’s residents to report any

concerns in their neighborhood by utilizing the City Line 311 system. Residents of

Danbury can simply dial 311 from their home phones, or 203-744-4311 from out of town

or cell phones. Additionally, residents can log on to the City’s webpage,

www.ci.danbury.ct.us, and click on the City Line 311 link and register their complaint at

their convenience, and now, residents can utilize the Danbury Direct app from their

iPhone to submit a concern or question. Residents can choose to provide their contact

information, so the UNIT can follow up and provide an update on the situation. By

visiting the Neighborhood Assistance Department on the City’s website, residents will

also be able to view the UNIT’s monthly activity.

If we can be of any assistance to you or residents in your ward please contact us at 796-

8026 or 311.

Sincerely,

Shawn Stillman

Coordinator, Office of Neighborhood Assistance
