Engineering report finalized on Bethel Police Station leak, Charter Commission seeks referendum

The Bethel Utilities Department will be replacing some Meter Reading Devices, the Meter Interrogator Units.  The work is being done by a town employee who has a photo identification card and is driving a Utility Department vehicle.  First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker says the work takes only a few minutes and involves replacement of this existing surface mounted unit which is located on the outside of residential and commercial structures.  Anyone with questions or concerns is asked to call the Public Works office at 203-794-8549 to verify.

A final engineering report on the Bethel Police Station Training Range has been sent to the chair of the Bethel Public Sites and Buildings Commission.  Downes construction also received a copy.  A meeting to discuss the resolution is being set for next week. During heavy rain storms, water seeps through the brick and experts disagree on why and how to fix it.  Officers moved into the new police station in October 2018.

A committee in Bethel is considering changes to the town charter.  Due to crowd restrictions implemented by Governor Lamont in an executive order from the start of the pandemic, town meeting gatherings are not allowed.  An executive order will be necessary in order to proceed with a referendum.  Charter commission attorney Nick Vitti is drafting suggested language for consideration by the office of the governor.
