Meriden: The Economic Development Task Force opted for the standard billboard, not the one with a changing face, largely, apparently, because the zoning rules don’t specifically allow for a mechanically changing face. That makes a certain amount of sense, but, as Councilor Tomassetti noted, it isn’t downtown. The rule is: anything that is not specifically allowed is illegal. While one can appreciate the effort to control the billboard situation, it’s hard to see why it would make any particular difference to anything but the tired eyes of the traveler if the billboard is able to change its spots. Unresolved still is the original plan, to help out the humane society, which was why Tomassetti proposed it.
Southington: Town Manager Weichsel speaks to the Charter Revision panel about contracts for managers, which he says young people in his profession are eager to have but which he doesn’t care that much about. He also urged that department heads all report to the manager, rather than to oversight boards. Given present management styles and interest in accountability, that’s a good idea.
