East Windsor selectmen advance budget guidelines, fire agreement and CT Water settlement

EAST WINDSOR - The Board of Selectmen on Nov. 5 adopted draft fiscal 2027-28 budget guidelines and forwarded them to the Board of Finance, according to a schedule of motions posted on the town Agenda Center.

With First Selectman Jason Bowsza and Selectmen Bob Leach and Heather Spencer present, the board also approved a fire-protection-cost agreement with West River Farms, a congregate-meal memorandum of understanding with CRT for the senior center, and authorization for Bowsza to sign a Tighe & Bond proposal dated Nov. 2 for pavement-management support Phase I, the schedule says.

The board referred a potential purchase-of-development-rights partnership with the state Department of Agriculture on Chamberlain Road to the Board of Finance and, if approved there, to Town Meeting. After an executive session, it accepted proposed court-settlement assessments for Connecticut Water Company personal-property grand lists 2022 and 2023 and authorized Bowsza to sign a dispatchers memorandum of understanding, the schedule says. Deputy First Selectman Rick LeBorious and Selectman Alan Baker were absent.
