During the Finance & Claims Committee meeting held on September 11, 2025, in Norwalk City, CT, members acknowledged the absence of a quorum, preventing any votes from taking place. Committee members Anne Winestrand, Joanne Lopez, and the chair were present, but without the required number of participants, the meeting focused on procedural matters.
The committee began by addressing the acceptance of previous meeting minutes. A correction was noted regarding the spelling of member Sharon Connor's name, which will be amended before the minutes are approved at the next meeting.
Public participation was briefly opened, but no attendees were present online, leading to its closure without further discussion.
In a moment of reflection, the chair recognized the significant contributions of Greg Burnett, a long-standing member of the committee. A moment of silence was observed in his honor, highlighting the impact he had on the committee and the standards he set during his tenure.
As the meeting concluded, the chair emphasized the importance of continuing the committee's work in the spirit of Burnett's legacy, setting a tone of respect and commitment to the community's financial governance. The next meeting will provide an opportunity to finalize the minutes and continue the committee's essential functions.
