Council approves $358,206 transfer for three custodians
Town Council · Meeting of February 2, 2026
CT ENFIELD — Enfield Town Council approves $358,206 transfer for custodian positions. The vote addressed staffing shortages created when seven positions went unfunded in the previous fiscal year, generating excessive overtime particularly at Enfield High School. Director of Public Works Donald Nunes reported disposal costs tracking $50,000 above the prior year with projections for $250,000 to $300,000 annual increases; the council reached consensus to increase tipper barrel fees.
The council also unanimously appointed nine members to an Enfield Charter Revision Commission, authorized Mayor Gina Cekala to support two state railroad improvement projects valued at $105 million and $7 million respectively, and heard a public hearing on proposed Property Maintenance Ordinance revisions, with residents expressing concerns about tightened timelines and increased penalties.
