Also Present: Clerk/Treasurer Strecker, Attorney Eddington, Director of Public Works Harkins, Building Official Estes and Deputy City Clerk Anaya.
Mayor Adams called the meeting to order.
Building Official Estes led the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor Adams announced that all City of Torrington offices will be closed on Friday, October 4, 2019 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for City employees to be able to attend the Charles Curry memorial service. Business will resume as usual at 12:00 p.m.

Mayor Adams commented that the City is now accepting the disposal of leaves in the designated grass bins. The leaves will be used by the Streets/Sanitation Department for compost. He urged the public to please only provide leaves without bags and stated that garbage itself is still not permitted in those designated bins.
Mayor Adams stated that Clerk/Treasurer Strecker will be launching the City’s new OpenGov software with a live demonstration at the 10-15-19 Council meeting. The software is a web based financial transparency software that will allow users to create their own report(s) based on the selection criteria that they define. In essence, users will be able to reference the City’s financial data at their own expediency.
Councilman Law moved and Councilwoman Hill seconded to approve the consent agenda which includes the minutes from the 09-17-19 Council meeting as published and all actions therein be ratified. Motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Kinney moved and Councilman Mattis seconded to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
Golf Pro Dent presented a certificate of appreciation to Rod Harris for many years of service of diligently dressing sand bunkers at Cottonwood at Torrington Golf Course. The Mayor and Council congratulated Mr. Harris.
Attorney Eddington read a proclamation observing October 6, 2019 in recognition of the patriotic service and dedicated efforts of fire and emergency services personnel by lowering American flags on all buildings to half-staff. It calls upon all citizens of the City of Torrington and upon all patriotic, civic and educational organizations to observe the day and encourages appropriate services and ceremonies in which all citizens may participate to honor fire and emergency services personnel, past and present, who, by their faithful and loyal devotion to duties, have rendered invaluable service to the community and its citizens. Mayor Adams stated that the proclamation being presented for approval is ironic in light of the fact that the Torrington Volunteer Fire Department (TVFD) was dispatched to a pretty serious structure fire call earlier in the day. Building Official Estes commented that the TVFD performed spectacularly well and that the community should be extremely proud of its members. Councilman Law concurred with Building Official Estes’ remarks. Councilwoman Hill moved and Councilman Kinney seconded to approve the proclamation as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
Attorney Eddington read by title AN ORDINANCE AMENDING AND RE-ENACTING CHAPTER 10.32. OF THE TORRINGTON MUNICIPAL CODE, 2019 REVISIONS, RELATING TO PARKING. Building Official Estes stated that he has received no public comments since the ordinance was approved on first reading. Councilwoman Hill inquired if anything had been altered since approval on first reading. Building Official Estes confirmed no. Councilman Law questioned if Section 10.32.130. (Parking between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.) needs to be clarified further to ensure that drinking and driving does not take place. He indicated that perhaps the wording in the section needs to be explained with more detail to address parking situations that may occur that coincide with those specific restrictions of 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., such as local bars. Building Official Estes commented that staff can definitely review that specific section, get input from the Torrington Police Department, and bring back on third reading with possible revisions. Councilman Mattis moved and Councilman Law seconded to approve the ordinance on second reading as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
The bills from 09-18-19 to 10-01-19 were presented for payment. Councilwoman Hill moved and Councilman Mattis seconded to approve the bills for payment as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
Councilwoman Hill stated that she saw the post on Facebook regarding The Homesteader’s Museum Terror Train Escape Room and expressed her eagerness for the upcoming event. Mayor Adams commented that the escape room is by appointment only on specific dates and indicated that the museum will also be hosting an Afternoon at the Boo-Seum on Saturday, October 26, 2019. The event will include a tour of the museum, games, a bounce house and a movie. It is open to the public and admission is free.
Councilman Kinney moved and Councilman Mattis seconded to adjourn to executive session to discuss litigation. Motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Mattis moved and Councilman Kinney seconded to return the Council to regular session. Motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Law moved and Councilman Mattis seconded to approve Director of Public Works Harkins’ recommendation in regards to the FY 2020 Chip Seal Placement Project. Motion carried unanimously.
