Hartford City Council Meeting

Monday, April 10, 2000

Prepared by: Citizens’ Research Education Network, Hartford Public Library, and Hartford 2000

There are 46 items on the regular agenda. The meeting will begin at 8 P.M. and will be televised on Hartford Public Access, Channel 21.

Batterson Park Task Force Report – The Council will receive the report of the Batterson Park Task Force. The task force was created in January of 1999 to make recommendations for the uses and/or possible disposition of Batterson Park. The whole report is on file at the Town Clerk’s office. Batterson Park is located in Farmington. (Item #21)

Approval of Sheldon/Charter Oak Strategic Plan – The Council will vote on an ordinance which would approve the Neighborhood Revitalization Zone (NRZ) Strategic Plan for the Sheldon/Charter Oak neighborhood. According to the accompanying letter, the plan has been discussed by the Commission on the City Plan and by the Planning, Economic Development and Zoning Committee. Both are recommending passage. (Item #27)

Bolton and Eaton Streets Redirection – In a previous meeting the Council referred to the City Manager a resolution which would make Bolton Street and Eaton Street one-way streets. The City Manager is reporting back that a majority of Eaton Street residents have requested the change, but Bolton Street residents did not request the change. In addition, she is advising the Council that three of the four businesses at either end of Eaton Street have opposed the change. The City Manager is recommending that Eaton Street be made one-way, but that no action be taken on Bolton Street until over 50% of its residents request a change. (Item #20)

Tax Assessment Agreement for Downtown Development -- The Council will be voting on a resolution which would authorize the City Manager to enter into a tax assessment fixing agreement with the Morgan Reed Group for the development of the property at 398 Asylum Street. (Formerly the Bond Hotel.) If passed, the City Manager would execute an agreement with the Morgan Reed Group for a seven-year assessment fixing agreement and the Morgan Reed Group would convert the site to apartments. (Item #6)
