SHELTON The city’s deal to sell 113 Canal St., the former Chromium Process site, to developers John Guedes and Biagio Barone has cleared its final hurdle.
The Planning and Zoning Commission this week voted 5-1, with commissioner Mark Widomski opposed, to offer a positive referral of the sale of the city property to the developers for $100,000.
As part of the agreement, the developers will pay some $137,500 for brick pavers for the River Walk extension being built at the rear of 129 Canal St.

SHELTON Maintaining current school district services with the required contractual increases next fiscal year would still require a nearly $2 million budget increase, according to school administrators.
School Finance Director Rick Belden presented a 2021-22 fiscal year budget with no additions to the Board of Education during its first budget workshop on Tuesday. The result, according to Belden, would still mean a $1,812,596 jump from the present fiscal year.
The school budget has stood at $72,765,000 for the past two years, the result each year being reductions in staff and services to meet the figure. By maintaining the present staff and services, Belden said the budget would increase to $74,577,596.
Letter: Why Shelton Aldermen did not intercede in police disciplinary actions

To the Editor:
I have been asked why the Board of Aldermen (BOA) does not investigate the recent police department disciplinary actions and intercede to bring these differences to conclusion.
Under state law the police officers have chosen to be represented by a Union. That Union and the City have entered into a collective bargaining agreement which has the force of law and supersedes BOA legislative authority.
That agreement gives the City administration the right to manage the work force and provides a grievance procedure for the Union to contest contract violations.

SHELTON The city has agreed to sell 113 Canal St., the former Chromium Process site, to developers John Guedes and Biagio Barone, just not for as much as originally planned.
The developers will be paying the city $100,000 for the property. The original purchase price was $250,000, but developers reduced the offer after learning that a portion of the former Chromium Process site listed as 125 Canal St. had been sold by the city to another developer last year.
The sale is pending a referral from the Planning and Zoning Commission which is required because the deal involves the sale of city property. The referral request from the city is on the commission’s Tuesday agenda.
repair, i m all for it. number one. number two, barack obama as john indicated probably should have spent for time on the chicago board of aldermen than at the university of chicago, that way he would have understood the specifics of this kind of politics as opposed to the abstraction of politics. that s number two. number three, i think john has a very good point which is the latest polls show that the republicans for all the ways they ve looked barack obama looked passive and emphasized his passivity as opposed to his in your face nature, the republicans have suffered tremendously in the debt debate, and now is the time for the democrats and for barack obama to take the offensive, because the republicans have been weakened enormously in this debate. they really have.
