Council Republicans to Appoint Mattabassett Board Members
In its first meeting, the new Republican-dominated City Council is to appoint two Republicans to the Mattabassett District Commission.
The Mattabassett District is a regional wastewater authority, in which New Britain is included, along with Berlin, Cromwell and Middletown.
In a resolution on the Council’s November 10, 2021 agenda, Ald. Robert Smedley (R-4) and Ald. Wilfredo Pabon (R-AL) propose an outgoing Republican Council member, Ald. Daniel Salerno (R-AL), and Republican Richard Healey to seats representing New Britain on the Mattabassett Commission.
Salerno would be chosen for a term expiring on October 31, 2022 and Healey would have a term until October 31, 2024.
At the meeting the Council will also choose its President Pro-Tempore, announce Republican and Democratic party caucus leaders and choose Council committee memberships and Council departmental liaisons for the two year term that expires in 2023.
