Waterbury Board of Aldermen Meeting - July 13, 2026
Published: Jul 13, 2026
City Contracts Aeros Security for Parking Garage Security Services
The city approved a contract for security services for city parking garages with Air and Security Inc. DBA Aeros Security for $330,000 over three years. This procurement aims to enhance security in public parking areas.
City Approves Installation of Automated Traffic Enforcement Cameras
The board approved the installation of automated traffic enforcement safety devices, including red light and speed cameras, at various locations throughout the city based on crash data. The devices are expected to be installed and operational in the fall, pending state approval. Concerns were raised about the selection criteria and the limited number of locations, particularly in certain districts, due to limitations related to poverty levels (QCT zones).
City Approves Contracts for Park Improvements at Bucks Hill and Berkeley Heights
The board approved construction contracts for park improvements, including basketball courts and baseball fields at Bucks Hill Park and Berkeley Heights Park. These projects are aimed at enhancing recreational facilities for the community, particularly for youth.
City Approves Tax Abatements for Affordable Housing Renovations
The board approved tax abatement agreements for two affordable housing properties, Plaza on the Green and Josephine Towers, owned by Related Affordable. The agreements will extend project-based rental subsidies for 20 years and support a $21.5 million renovation. This development is intended to preserve and deepen housing affordability for low- and moderate-income residents, including the elderly and disabled. Concerns were raised regarding the impact of tax abatements on the city's grand list and whether the program adequately benefits taxpayers versus large developers.
City Approves Numerous Financial and Procurement Items, Including Security Contracts and Park Improvements
The board approved several financial and procurement items through a consent calendar and individual votes. This included a contract for security services for city parking garages, refunds for canceled permits, a service agreement for career skills certifications, amendments to existing contracts for school maintenance and rooftop solar systems, and professional service agreements for park improvements and electrical repair services. Concerns were raised about the necessity of some upgrades and the financial implications of tax abatements.
