The Legislative & Rules Committee met to consider three items: a resolution on window safety legislation, an ordinance creating an urban grocery store development district, and a resolution authorizing a lease with Domus Kids, Inc. for the Glenbrook Community Center. The committee voted to recommit the first two items to steering and approved the third item.
Thank you. All righty. Thank you, everyone, for your attendance this evening. I'm gonna call to order this meeting of the legislative rules committee um Tuesday, September 29th at 7.04 p.m. Apologies for the tardiness. In attendance, I see committee members Blank, Boudreau, Vice Chair Camp Morelli, Representative Hughes, uh La Pine, myself, Stone, Weinberg, and apologies. I'm having some trouble pulling up. Let's see. Is this Lori here? I'm gonna see it. See, yeah. No, all right. I also see an attendance. Representative Weir, Representative Politia, Representative Walston, President Shaw. And that's it. You don't mind. No, I've got to take it through order. Great. All righty. So moving on to our first item of the evening, LR32.020 resolution urging that it the Connecticut General Assembly to enact statewide window safety legislation for the protection of children. Uh on this item, I think we also have in attendance. And I believe that's it in terms of invited guests. So with that, do I have a motion to approve LR 32.021? Motion to approve it. I hear a motion and a second. Is there anybody that wishes to seat the floor with respect to this item? Sorry, I haven't seen the slide. Representative Stone, you have the floor. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Um so as all of you know, we got walloped by a pretty powerful weather system this weekend. Um thankfully our frontline storm recovery team, alongside with the emergency operations team kept Stanford open uh as we literally and figuratively weathered the storm. Uh however, understandably the attention of public safety director Durabus and Fire Chief Morris was focused entirely on navigating the weather, keeping everyone safe. Um my goal with this resolution is to increase safety. And in respect and deference to those leaders who spent the weekend working on our collective safety, I realize they could not prepare for tonight's session as robustly as they'd like. Uh accordingly, I think that we should kick this back to steering this evening. I think we need to discuss the merits of this resolution and vote on it. But routing it through steering at this point for one single month will pave the way to have a productive piece of legislation. I really just want to make sure that the most important ingredient in this legislative recipe, which is collaboration, gets baked into this. And I think this resolution will benefit from uh both of their expertise and this brief routing back to steering will give Director Derubas and Chief Morris the uh precise window they need to kind of finalize the text with me so we can return this back to LNR uh for action in October. And with that, I yield the floor. Thank you, Representative Stone. Um, did you wish to make a motion at this time?
