Today, Councilman Wooden has announced a change to the confirmation process for Board of Education appointees:

City Council announces new Board of Education appointment confirmation process that seeks public engagement

Hartford, CT – Council President Shawn T. Wooden announced today a confirmation process for Mayor Pedro E. Segarra’s appointments to the Hartford Board of Education. This thorough yet expedient confirmation process, unprecedented for the City of Hartford, is adapted from the Connecticut General Assembly’s process for confirming executive nominations to state boards and commissions.

“The public wants a local government that is more transparent and accountable.  As Council President, I intend to work very hard to make that happen.  Confirming the mayor’s appointments to the Board of Education is among the City Council’s most important duties, and we intend to do so in a way that is thorough, engages the public and accomplishes Mayor Segarra’s very legitimate goal of an expeditious confirmation process. We want to give the new Board of Education the opportunity to begin working together in advance of their first meeting on February 21^st,” said Council President Wooden.

Anticipating snow, the City of Hartford has declared a ban on all on-street parking between 9a.m. on Saturday through 6a.m. on Sunday, this weekend. Parking is available in public school lots during the ban.

Vehicles left on the street may receive a fine of $99 or be towed for a fee of $108.

“When people refuse to adhere to an instituted ban, the impact on the City from a financial perspective, not to
mention the safety hazards posed because public works crews cannot effectively remove snow is significant,” said Mayor Pedro E. Segarra. “We will strictly enforce this ban, so I ask that all vehicle owners move their property from City streets.”
