ATTENTION BAYVIEW AVENUE RESIDENTS:

The Borough plans to repave Bayview from Elm to Elihu in early Otober.

Weather permitting the project will be done the week of October 8th. Contact me with questions or concerns.

Jeff Callahan, Street Commissioner (860) 908-6530.

After seven months of work, the Borough Charter Revision Commission forwarded its final report to the Board of Warden & Burgesses in mid-August. At its regular monthly meeting on August 20^th, the Board unanimously approved the report, which is found here. The most significant changes in the revised charter are to reduce the number of burgesses on the Board from six to four; to consolidate commissioner duties among the five members of the Board; to make the position of clerk-treasurer an appointed rather than elected position; and to eliminate the position of tax collector. The revised charter will be on the ballot in the next Borough election in May 2019.
