Trumbull Roundup: Hillcrest Middle School Phase 2 Advances, Housing Authority Names Director, Golf Course Barn Upgrade Approved

Trumbull's boards and commissions moved several items forward over the past two weeks, including a $7.5 million school construction milestone, a permanent housing director appointment, and a $63,000 golf course safety upgrade. Several commissions also held agenda-only sessions with minutes not yet published.

Hillcrest Middle School Building Committee

The committee unanimously approved Phase 2 construction documents and a $7.5 million under-budget estimate for submission to the state. The project remains on schedule despite a possible one-month delay in the Phase 1 construction start. Phase 1 bids were advertised on June 11, drawing nine bidders. Discussion of bid alternates — including photovoltaic canopies and irrigation — was postponed until after Phase 2 bids are received. The committee also approved June 9 minutes, with one abstention from Lubin, and scheduled its next meeting for July 14, 2026.

Trumbull Housing Authority

The board voted 3-0-1 to appoint Jacqueline Vega as permanent Executive Director, with one abstention. The May financial report was accepted unanimously. Three internal control policies — cash disbursements, end-of-month financial reporting, and accounts receivable — were each approved unanimously. The board also approved May 26 meeting minutes unanimously and entered executive session to discuss insurance information. A signature policy received a first reading and is slated for revision.

Golf Course Commission

The commission approved a $63,000 transfer from Retained Earnings to Capital for maintenance barn improvements to comply with OSHA regulations. The motion carried 8-0. Prior meeting minutes were also approved 8-0.

Commission on Aging

The commission reviewed survey data showing resident preference for a multi-use community center over a dedicated senior center. Discussions also covered Stern Village vacancies, upcoming veteran building construction, and development of a new Senior Resource Guide. Minutes from April 24 were approved with abstentions; May 29 minutes were approved 3-0-4. The meeting adjourned at 3:03 p.m. by unanimous consent.
