The Windsor Town Council met on November 3, 2025 at 7:30 PM in Council Chambers.

Election day (November 4) was noted, and Councilor Lenworth Walker was thanked for his service as he is not seeking re-election.
I gave my hands so you girl. I tried so many times, and that's no lie. It seems to make you back in each time I write your mind. But this time I really leave any. I hope you don't win. Get this thing to your head, they'll be no more. Good evening and welcome to the November 3rd Town Council meeting. This evening all counselors are here. Councilor Ellavd is traveling, so he will not be with us. And this evening we have the prayer and or reflection in the Pledge of Allegiance that will be led by Deputy Mayor Cleese. As we begin begin tonight's meeting, I'd like to take a moment to think about our Windsor community. With the federal shutdown not in place, many of us are hearing from residents who are feeling the strain and uncertainty it brings. Moments like this remind us of how connected we are and how much our local actions matter. As we move through tonight's work, may we do so with compassion, with thoughtfulness, and with a shared commitment to supporting the people who call Windsor home. Let's do the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God and indivisible with liberty. Thank you, Deputy Mayor Clace. We do not have proclamations or awards this evening, so we'll move to public petitions and communications. We are now on to the public communications. If anyone from the public would like to address the council, you will be given three minutes to speak. Please state your name and address, and I will turn this over to the moderator, Frank Angelo, our information technology director. Thank you. If there's anyone from the public who would like to address the council, you may do so by raising your hand on your computer by selecting the participants icon on the zoom menu bar, and then click and raise hand or by dialing star nine on your phone. You'll be given three minutes to speak. Please state your name and address. When you're called on, you'll be prompted with you are now unmuted for those dialing by phone. Once prompted, you will press star six to unmute for clear communication. We ask that you do not place the call on speaker phone. We current currently do not have anyone online with their hand up. Thank you, Mr. Angelo. At this time we'll move to the town hall chamber. If anyone here would like to address the council, we do ask that you step forward, state your name and address. You will be given three minutes to speak, and at the sound of the time, we do ask that you conclude your comments. Christina Santos, 65 Winthrop Road. Good evening. I sit here tonight as a Windsor resident for over 50 years. Windsor is an amazing community and has a tremendous amount to offer its citizens. Windsor is a relatively safe and peaceful community, thanks in part to the Windsor Police Department. I want to thank all members, past and present, of the Windsor Police Department for their service, and I support your efforts in bringing to light your offensive and unacceptable working conditions. When a union takes a vote of no confidence, it is not something done lightly. An investigation was ordered by the town manager. The Markham advisory group, specifically Frank Rudowitz, deliver the report to the town council in executive session on September 17, 2019. Not a single person sitting up there tonight was on the town council or in that room. So to be clear, the town council can in fact discuss the appointment, employment performance, evaluation, health, or dismissal of a public officer or employee chief of police. The excuse for no action by the president past town council has been to say you have no say in this matter. That only the town manager has the authority to handle the employment decision of a police is a political smokescreen, a cop out. If the town manager can't get rid of the bully, then perhaps the town manager is the problem, and you need to get rid of him. And here we are, seven years later, as our dedicated police officers, 97% of them still have no confidence in their boss, are still under the reign of abusive vindictive bully, all because the previous town councils didn't have the guts to do the right thing.
