Selectmen Approve Plan for Security Cameras at Waveny

By |

Acceding to a grassroots push to install cameras at Waveny as per a police recommendation, the Board of Selectmen on Tuesday voted 3-0 to solicit proposals for updating security systems in New Canaan. Responses to a RFP likely would come back in December or January, officials said, giving the town an idea of costs as New Canaan sets its spending plan for next fiscal year. The local mom and attorney behind an online petition this summer that kickstarted the town’s efforts, Hilary Ormond, said during an interview after the Board meeting that she was “cautiously optimistic” about the progress. “I want to see this through,” said Ormond, who attended the meeting at Town Hall as a guest. “I want to see it actually happen.

Letter: Kevin Moynihan for First Selectman

Dear Editor,

I back Kevin Moynihan’s second term based on his track record of accomplishment. As a conservation-minded citizen, Kevin shepherded the Land Acquisition Fund ordinance through the Town Council. With the conception of the Waveny Park Conservancy, Kevin showed his support for the preservation and stewardship of open space through both private and public means. The Land Acquisition Fund will help maintain the scenic rural character of our village—as clearly laid out in the Plan for Conservation and Development. Regular funding is now part of our budget process based on the understanding that strategic land acquisition opportunities (think 600+ acres of Water Company lands) come about irregularly and are lost forever if not addressed in a timely, prepared manner.

Letter: First Selectman Kevin Moynihan ‘Deserves Another Term’

Dear Editor,

A number of years ago, Kevin Moynihan was volunteering for the New Canaan Community Foundation. He was part of a team to review the GetAbout which had applied for a grant. After meeting most of the executive members of the Board, Kevin realized that GetAbout was very deserving of a grant and that they could use some help. His interest in helping local non-profits led him to volunteer to join the GetAbout Board. Shortly thereafter I also joined the Board.

To the Editor:

Everyone who lives and works in New Canaan will benefit from the environmental sustainability projects Kevin Moynihan, first selectman, has advanced. Results will include reduced operating expenses for homes and buildings, cleaner air and enhanced community and natural open spaces. I am an energy and environmental consultant providing advisory services to the town of New Canaan, and a former resident. During the 13 years I lived in town I was a member of the New Canaan Conservation Commission, Long Range Planning Committee and a trustee of the New Canaan Nature Center. During that time, I advocated for a comprehensive sustainability plan and was met with great frustration.
