Old Lyme Board of Selectmen
Special Meeting, Thursday, October 11, 2007
The Board of Selectmen held a special meeting at 5:00 P.M. on Thursday, October 11, 2007 at Christ the King Church. First Selectman Timothy Griswold, Selectman Skip Sibley and Selectwoman Bonnie Reemsnyder were present.
1. CRRA – Authorize a “Friend of the Court” Brief – Discussion
First Selectman Michael Pace of Old Saybrook, who is Chairman of the Board of the CRRA (Connecticut Resource Recovery Authority), asked the Selectmen to approve a “Friend of the Court” Brief in support of CRRA. First Selectman Tim Griswold is an ad hoc member of the CRRA board.
The Connecticut State Supreme Court has ordered CRRA to distribute $35 million in funds to towns in Connecticut that are part of a class action lawsuit stemming from the failure of Enron. CRRA is appealing the decision and would like the funds to remain in a Connecticut State Treasury account until the appeal is decided. The situation is complicated and the Selectmen decided to study the issue and discuss it at the next Board of Selectmen meeting.
