Update 9:10 p.m.

The young boy seen on video surveillance ringing the doorbell of an eastern New Canaan home late Monday has been identified and found, Police Lt. Jason Ferraro said in a media update. “He is home sleeping,” Ferraro said. “No further information will be released at this time. The New Canaan Police Department thanks the community for their assistance in this matter.” The comments ended a very strange hour of local news in town that started around 8 p.m. when Emergency Management Director Mike Handler alerted residents of a “missing child” in the area of Valley Road.

First Selectman: Firm Selected for Taxpayer Spending Telephone Survey, Funding Unclear

By |

The town’s highest elected official said last week that it isn’t yet clear how New Canaan will fund a proposed survey of local taxpayers that’s designed to help set priorities for the upcoming budget season. The survey itself will cost about $12,000, First Selectman Kevin Moynihan said during a Dec. 20 media briefing. 

The town will hire a Connecticut-based company that conducts surveys nationally “assuming someone wants to fund it,” Moynihan said during the briefing, held in his Town Hall office. “I have no money to do a survey, unless they say they want to do it and they authorize the money,” Moynihan said. “They said they want to do it.”

He referred to officials from various town bodies, including those that set municipal spending, who gathered last month for a pre-budget season workshop.

Did You Hear … ?

Town Councilman Sven Englund, a longtime volunteer firefighter in New Canaan, said during the legislative body’s regular meeting Wednesday: “I would just like to say, basically, that we are saying ‘goodbye’ to a couple of fire commissioners this month. Al DuPont has moved to California and everyone wishes Al well, and the family. And the other one we are saying goodbye to is Rip Munger, who was fire commissioner for an unprecedented 19 years. We will be having a memorial service Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Wilton Quaker Meeting House. See a lot of big red trucks and blue uniforms.”
