40
Mr. Marchand said the money received from the 2025/26 budget allowed them to update licenses41
for Town staff for the 365 Microsoft Office update. This allowed all staff to move away from the42
“frozen in time” version of Microsoft Office. He said the update was installed during off-hours43
and department downtime. The update was well received by staff. IT will schedule basic44
training sessions to update teams.45

Joan Coe, 26 Whitcomb Drive, spoke about a no trespassing report filed against her by the62
Deputy First Selectman. She feels Mr. Antonio uses special privileges as a member of the Board.63
She noted that the photo she took of his house was taken from across the street. She also spoke64
about a banner he had to take down as it was against Zoning regulations, and no permit was65
taken out to put it up. There were also other signs that she brought up to Zoning.66
67
Ms. Coe also spoke about mental illness due to a lot of reasons including alcohol and drugs,68
which increases disorderly conduct, motor vehicle accidents, homelessness, etc. She feels these69
people need to be helped and there should be housing for care of mental illness.70
71
Susan Masino, 41 Madison Lane, President of The Grange, said they are having their Annual72
Fair on Saturday. This is the first agricultural fair certified in Connecticut. They are taking73
entries on Friday from 5-7 and Saturday from 7:30 – 8:30. There are brochures around town with74
information.75
76
Ms. Masino said the next event is the Music Monday, the first of every month starting in the fall.77
These music events are free to all. They are also having a house concert series on Sundays and a78
film series in the fall.79
80
Ms. Masino also wanted to follow up on the Town website. She said she had sent in a lot of81
comments. She said you cannot go back to the calendar, which she feels would be very helpful,82
and she is requesting that you can do that again. She also said she doesn’t see the Open Space83
agendas on the calendar. You can only find the Open Space under agendas and meetings and say84
this pattern keeps happening. No one seems to get notices of the Open Space meetings either. Mr.85
Marchand showed everyone how to go back on the calendar.86
87
Lori Boyko, 15 Oakhurst Road, spoke about an agenda item about a non-profit organization88
being represented at the Library. She feels we need to look at how the Town really works. She89
thinks we need to look at non-profit and for-profit entities across the board. She wants the Board90

P a g e | 3
to look at the use of Town owned properties and spaces that are conducive to advertising. We91
need to have an actual policy for this. She also spoke about someone speaking during a meeting,92
even though they weren’t part of the committee. She was told they donated a lot of money, so93
they are allowed to speak. This needs to change. We need to level the playing field with special94
interest groups and our advertising money.95

b) Approve the 2026 Neighborhood Assistance Act Application (6:37:08)186
187
Mr. Fitzgerald said this is an annual application and the notice went out on the website. The188
public hearing was held tonight. There is only one application for New Horizons, Inc. (dba189
Sunshine Wheels), who are asking for funds, so they are able to purchase a new wheelchair190
accessible vehicle.191
192
Ms. Yeisley noted that municipalities can also apply for this assistance. She would like to look at193
items the Town can apply for next year. She also noted Sunshine Wheels fills in when needed for194
things that dial-a-ride cannot provide.195
196
Ms. Yeisley made a motion, effective June 8, 2026, to approve the 2026 Connecticut197
Neighborhood Assistance Act Tax Credit Program Application of New Horizons, Inc. (dba198
Sunshine Wheels), as presented, and to authorize Town Manager, Marc Nelson, to submit the199

c) Schedule a Public Hearing for Proposed Amendments to Town Code Chapter 13: Ethics207
Code (6:40:52)208
209
Mr. Nelson said we are trying to move forward with updating ordinances and policies. He said210
staff is asking that the Board set a public hearing on July 13th to hear public comments on the211
proposed Ethics Code. Hopefully the Board will be able to adopt a new code in August. The212
draft was already shared with the Town Attorney, Town Clerk, and Ethics chairman. He noted213
that the clarifying responsibility of compliance will shift to the Human Resources Department.214
This is also joint with the Board of Ed, and it will be up to the Superintendent to set up the215
process for the Board of Ed. He said the last time this was done was 15 years ago. Please send216
all comments to the Town Manager’s office. This is just to schedule a public hearing.217

226
This item was moved to the Consent Agenda.227
228
e) Naming Simsbury as a Regional Partner with the GHG (6:47:20)229
230
Ms. Mackstutis said the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving talked about having a partnership231
with the Town about a year ago. They would like to have a remote sight where they can have232
some meetings. They would be reserving space at the Library like anyone else. They then had233
discussions about internal signages to show the partnership we would have with them. She said234
they do give money to our 501c-3’s when needed.235
236
Mr. Nelson noted that they are a philanthropic organization who has a mission to give to others.237
Staff does support this “partnership”, but it is not a contractual partnership.238
239
After discussion, Mr. Antonio made a motion, effective June 8, 2026, to support the Greater240
Hartford Gives Foundation in naming the Town of Simsbury as a regional partner and allow the241
identification of that partnership at the Simsbury Public Library according to the Library Board242
of Trustees policy.243
244
Mr. Beal would like to table the part of the signage until further discussion. After more245
discussion, Mr. Beal seconded the following motion: Effective June 8, 2026, to support the246
Greater Hartford Gives Foundation in naming the Town of Simsbury as a regional partner. All247
were in favor and the motion passed.248
249
Mr. Antonio made a motion, effective June 8, 2026, to allow the identification of that partnership250
at the Simsbury Public Library according to the Library Board of Trustees policy.251
252
Mr. Beal made a motion, effective June 8, 2026, to table for further discussion on allowing the253
identification of that partnership at the Simsbury Public Library according to the Library Board254
of Trustees policy. Mr. Paine seconded the motion.255
256
After further discussion, Mr. Beal, Mr. Looney, Ms. Yeisley, and Mr. Paine were in favor of Mr.257
Beal’s motion in tabling the identification part of the partnership. Therefore, this is tabled.258
259
f) Discussion of EV chargers (7:02:58)260
261
Mr. Nelson said this is an Eversource grant that would allow the Town to install EV chargers at262
the Library. He said they were unable to get this into the budget starting July 1st. He is asking263
for a consensus from the Board so if they agree with the idea Mr. Roy could let Eversource264
know.265
266
Mr. Roy said we don’t have any EV chargers in Town right now. This is a grant from Eversource267
for $20,000 per location / per 2 chargers. He said they would be installed at Town Hall and the268
T O W N O F S I M S B U R Y – B O A R D O F S E L E C T M E N
R E G U L A R M E E T I N G M I N U T E S – J U N E 8 , 2 0 2 6
P a g e | 7
upper and lower areas at the Library. We would be able to collect revenues with these new269
chargers.270
271
After discussion, Mr. Beal said not to install G1172 and he explained other, better chargers.272
There was also discussion on where to install the chargers. Ms. Miceli would rather not have273
them installed at the upper lot at the Library. Mr. Roy said then they would only get 4 chargers.274
Mr. Antonio is not really in favor of this as there is no return on this investment, etc. There275
doesn’t seem to be an excessive need either.276
277
Mr. Roy said the use of Town resources is like any other project and they would fit it into their278
normal workload to get it done. After more discussion, Mr. Beal, Mr. Looney, Ms. Mackstutis,279
Ms. Yeisley, and Mr. Paine told Mr. Roy to move forward with this project.280
281
g) Discussion of Board of Selectmen 2025-2027 Goals (7:21:03)282
283
Ms. Mackstutis said she gave the Board a list of goals and additions that she put in Excel. She284
also added the recommendations from the Charter Revision Commission to the Board of285
Selectmen. She also used Chat GPT to organize the goals.286
287
Mr. Beal said he feels this is an important discussion and the Board needs to spend time on each288
goal. He thought the discussion should take place in July.289
290
Mr. Antonio feels the Board needs to revisit the goals and discuss and maybe cross off some of291
them that are done or aren’t a goal anymore. He said goals change and goals need to be realistic292
and obtainable within five years, which is the CIP model. He feels the Board needs to take some293
time and set some priorities.294
295
Mr. Paine feels these are the goals that we wanted for the last two years. Some of them are done296
and they need to be acknowledged. We should pick which ones we need to get done within two297
years in each category. He doesn’t want someone new coming in who needs to learn how to298
figure everything out. This will help shorten the list.299
300
Ms. Yeisley feels the Board should create measurable goals and then list reasonable outcomes301
that are achievable.302
303
Ms. Mackstutis asked for a commitment to go through the list and prioritize items in July. She304
feels there are some hands-on things that can be done before their terms end. She does feel the305
items that are done or will be done soon could be taken off the list. This item will be tabled until306
July and if anyone has ideas or items to add to the list to let her know ahead of time. Mr. Looney307
said he would like a note also stating why we didn’t’ do a goal.308
309
h) Discussion on Referendum Questions for Charter Revision (7:33:36)310
311
There was some discussion on the one referendum question that Attorney DeCrescenzo sent to312
the Board about the Charter Revisions.313

Mr. Nelson said they are bringing it up to the Board now for their comments. There is no424

Monroe, Town Clerk, is one who controls the seal, but this policy is governed by State Law.426
427

recommendations. He said the State delegates authority to the Town Clerk on the use of the429
seal. He will look at it and get back to the Board. If needed, there will be discussion at the430
July meeting.431
