New Haven
Mayor’s Proposed Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Budget
Board of Aldermen
Carl Goldfield, President
Sergio Rodriguez, President Pro Tempore
Katrina Jones, Majority Leader
Greg Morehead, Deputy Majority Leader
In accordance with the City Charter, I present for your consideration and adoption the proposed
City Budget and Tax Levy for Fiscal Year 2009-2010. This is a budget that strikes the right
balance between necessary services, fiscal prudence and accountability to the taxpayers of New
Haven in this extraordinary moment of financial crisis in our nation.
VIOLENCE REDUCTION
Violence reduction remains the City’s top priority. This budget follows through on the city’s
commitment to reduce violence and increase public safety. To do so, the City will continue to
employ a threefold strategy.
First, we will engage our youth and give them positive choices. The Street Outreach Workers
program will continue to intercede in the lives of troubled youths before issues escalate toward
unacceptable behavior. As we look to continue the success of this program, this budget
undertakes the essential transition of this program to the City’s general fund.
Second, we will continue to engage the population of recently incarcerated individuals. Cycles
of incarceration, left unchecked, present a threat to public safety. New Haven crime statistics for
2008 reveal that 73% of homicide victims and 50% of the suspects in homicides and non-fatal
shootings had previous criminal convictions.
Later this year the State Judicial Department and the City expect to implement a prison re-entry
initiative for split sentence offenders re-entering the community. The City expects to pilot a
collaboration that over time will offer real choices and better outcomes for the re-entry
population and the communities they re-enter.
Third, we will continue to provide great quality policing rooted in cooperation with the
community and manifested in targeted action by district officers. In Fiscal Year 2008-2009, the
City graduated a new police class of 45 officers and experienced the second lowest violent crime
rate in the past 15 years. In the last 6 months of 2008 the number of firearms seizures and
arrested increased by 70% - due in large part to a 48% increase in issued traffic violations.
The proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2009-2010 will include another class of 45 police officers
who will assist in the department reaching its goals of increased traffic stops, spending more time
on New Haven streets, increasing the Police Departments visibility and sending a message that
carrying illegal weapons or instilling fear in our residents is a ticket to nowhere.
Over the past decade, New Haven Schools have made steady progress. Our resolve to change
the way have done things coupled with Obama Administration’s new initiatives will move our
students from incremental academic improvement to exponential academic achievement. The
change we want and the change we seek is not only to be able to point to high performing
schools here and there but reform resulting in excellent performance across the entire district.
Schools will be graded based on student achievement and failing schools will be closed. New
standards will be set for principals. Great teachers are at the core of exponential academic
success and so we must establish new expectations.
Responsibility and accountability will be the cornerstone of this effort. And as teachers and
students achieve these goals, both should be rewarded; teachers with more pay and students with
a promise. A promise that for those motivated students that follow the rules and achieve
academically, tuition to a two or four year college will no longer be a barrier to higher education.
VIBRANT CITY
Foreclosures
Over the last 15 years the City has worked hard to strengthen its neighborhoods. This year, in
the face of a national housing crisis, the City’s strength will once again be tested. Nearly 25% of
outstanding home loans in New Haven are subprime loans. Subprime loans account for the
majority of foreclosures. Residential foreclosures in New Haven have increased by 150% over
2007 and by 630% over 2006. We are confronting the cancer of the national financial crisis on
our housing stock. The City will work hand in hand with ROOF and our non-profit developers
to preserve and put our vacant housing back in the hands of New Haven families.
Later this month the Board of Aldermen will vote to approve a local action plan that will direct
$3.2 million in neighborhood stabilization funds to prevent the foreclosure crisis from ravaging
entire communities. Properties targeted for acquisition and rehabilitation will provide a mix of
affordable, well-managed rental and homeownership housing units.
Taxes
There is no question that for hardworking families across New Haven this year will be a difficult
year. The City has raised taxes three years in a row and is implementing a 2006 state-mandated
property revaluation that shifts the property tax burden from commercial to residential property
some 5.2% in each year of the revaluation. There are limits to what families can bear in regards
to property taxes and this budget reflects that fact. Because residents have already done their fair
share to balance the budget, I am presenting a budget that freezes the grand list and the mill rate.
As a result, the FY 2009-2010 Budget ensures residents’ tax bills will remain unchanged from
the previous year.
In order to help our senior citizens stay in their homes, the city will continue to freeze property
taxes for every eligible senior household earning less than $53,000. For senior households
earning more than $53,000 the City will continue to defer payment of any increase until the time
they sell their home.
Economic Development
Just as we have gotten through other economic downturns, we will get through this one. There is
plenty to be optimistic about. New Haven continues to grow. Despite the national economic
down turn, the City is currently experiencing the biggest building boom in its history. The
Smilow Cancer Center at Yale-New Haven Hospital, the Park Street Building, 2 Howe Street,
Science Park and 360 State Street are all under construction and bringing jobs to the City.
The New Haven Economic Development Corporation (EDC) will partner with the City to
continue this momentum and pave the way to position the City as an economic driver of job
creation, commerce, transportation and growth. The work of the EDC to attract and retain
business, and grow New Haven’s economy will continue in the upcoming year. Working
collaboratively with the City the business community, the EDC will work to remove
impediments to growth and develop opportunities for both locally owned small businesses and
large corporations.
This year we will see the long awaited launch of a new community bank in New Haven, a
lending institution targeting low- and moderate-income residents and small businesses. Part of
the mission of the new bank will be to assist families and neighborhoods to improve their
economic standing and provide assistance for more affordable and better housing stock, and to
assist small locally owned businesses. The bank will offer financial literacy counseling in order
to teach residents about responsible investment.
Capital Budget
The Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Capital Budget includes $50.66 million to be financed through the
issuance of City General Obligation Bonds. These funds will be used on projects ranging from
the development of the Route 34 corridor, to sidewalk and road construction across the city, to
traffic calming initiatives, to making our schools and government buildings more energy
efficient. Because of the City’s prudent execution of its monthly financial and action plans to
correct any budget imbalances and to maintain appropriate reserve levels the City has, even in
these tough economic times, been able to maintain its bond rating.
School Construction
In order to manage the City’s finances in a struggling economy, the City will scale back its
school construction program. Construction of two schools, Mauro Magnet and Dwight has been
canceled. Construction of the New Davis Street School has been delayed 6 months to July 2009.
The new Hill Central School and new East Rock Community have been delayed until July 2010.
The new Engineering and Science University Magnet School has will be delayed two years until
April 2011.
Additionally, construction of the following projects will be delayed by one year to July 2012:
• New Haven Academy Magnet
• HSC Magnet (Additions and Renovations)
• Helen Grant Head Start Center
• Gateway Academy/New Horizons
• Microsociety Magnet
The FY 2009-2010 Budget will continue our goal of making New Haven the most welcoming
forward thinking city in the United States. We will work hard to engage all members of the
community. One such avenue to do so is through continued support and expansion of the Elm
City Resident Card. To date, more than 7,000 cards have been issued. This program will
continue to encourage new residents of the city to fully engage in the opportunities and
responsibilities of our community. Our goal this year is to increase use of the card across the
city and through the card increase individuals’ access to financial services.
To support violence reduction in the City, we will pursue various methods of integrating recently
released offenders back into the community. Approximately 25 individuals per week return from
Connecticut prisons to the New Haven community. At present rates, almost 10 out of these 25
may be expected to recidivate if nothing is done to intervene. Last month the Board of Alderman
passed the ‘Ban the Box’ ordinance. This ordinance seeks to offer the chance of employment to
break cycles of help ease recidivism.
REVENUE INITIATIVES
State Revenue
The FY 2009-2010 Budget contains several initiatives aimed at generating revenue for the City.
First, the City last year submitted an amendment to the State Pilot for Colleges and Hospitals list.
The City, in cooperation with facilities managers were granted access to both the physical plants,
as well as access to designs of recently completed renovation work on the campus. This has
enabled the City to revise its assessed valuation submission to the State Office of Policy and
Management by nearly $500 million. This change results in an estimated addition $1.4 million
in funding for New Haven in the Governors proposed budget for FY 2009-2010.
Additionally, there are a number of proposals before the state legislature for additional funding
for localities in education. Once such piece of proposed legislation would address an
approximately $28 million reduction to the funding of Certain Statutory Formula Grants.
Restored funding would result in $3.5 million is increased revenue. We will work with our state
legislators to ensure that New Haven receives its fair share of funds.
Stimulus
We are expecting $991,000 of federal funding in our plan for balance in FY 2010. This funding
comes from a variety of sources in the Federal Economic Recovery Act such as COPS, homeless
programs, education assistance and a host of other initiatives.
Other Revenue
In this budget, we will also look to strengthen the Office of the City Tax Assessor. By increasing
the capabilities of the department the City will be able to more fully meet its statutory obligation
of developing an annual Grand List of Taxable and Exempt property. This initiative will
produce as much as $1.6 million in increased revenues and a more complete picture of the New
Haven tax-base.
Further strengthening the City’s long term financial sustainability, the City and Yale University
have reached agreement to increase the university’s yearly financial reimbursement for fire
services by $2.5 million from $5 million to $7.5 million. I commend Yale University President
Richard C. Levin for his commitment to the New Haven community.
The City will continue to explore a lease of certain facilities of the New Haven Parking
Authority, and has created an advisory panel to review the feasibility of such a plan. The parking
authority operates more than 9,000 parking spaces around the city, including the Air Rights,
Crown Street, Chapel Square, Temple Street, Temple/George, Granite Square and Union Station
garages. In the meantime, the parking authority will also participate in the voluntary payment in
lieu of taxes program.
Long Term
In order to assure the City’s long-term financial health and stability we must immediately begin
planning for future budgets. The FY 2009-2010 budget includes the funding of a five year
budget plan to be conducted by the Finance, Revenue, and Audit Commission. Its mission will
be to identify savings in three core areas of healthcare, pensions, and agency reorganization, with
the intention of instituting and realizing these savings beginning with the Fiscal Year 2010-2011
budget.
CONCLUSION
The evidence is clear, these are tough times for our nation and our state and they will get
tougher. The national foreclosure crisis has uprooted many homeowners. New Haven will face
many challenges this year. However, because of sound fiscal planning and a clear set of
budgetary priorities, the City is meeting those challenges. Although the City is experiencing the
effects of national economic downturn there is reason to be optimistic. Our local economy is
anchored by medical and educational institutions, and although overall tax revenue is down our
collection rate remains around 98% and economic development construction activity remains
strong.
To be sure, this budget reflects cuts to City services. Through our hard work to identify cost-
saving measures, we have been able to keep our controllable expenses virtually flat between FY
2009 and FY 2010. New Haven’s taxpayers have done their part and taxes will not rise.
However the FY 2009-2010 will result in the loss of some valued services. Last November the
leadership of the City’s 14 Labor Unions were asked to contribute $10.5 million toward the
closure of a then estimated $25 million budget gap. Two of the units agreed and for their help I
am grateful. However, 12 did not. As a result of their failure to reach an agreement residents
will see service reductions across City government. City employees will be laid off. Three
senior centers will be closed. Class sizes will rise in our schools and senior teacher will return to
the classroom. The Parks Department’s ability to maintain and clean City parks and recreational
facilities will be reduced. Fewer buildings will be inspected for code violations. Nearly every
aspect of City services will be impacted. I regret these choices made by our bargaining units.
However, the alternative, raising property taxes is not acceptable.
The Fiscal Year 2009-2010 budget presents some tough choices. But as we have in the past, we
have addressed these challenges head on. It is a budget that affirms our values, achieves our
goals, and moves the City forward. From Newhallville to the East Shore, from Dixwell to
Downtown and from East Rock to Westville it is my firm belief that there is no better place to
raise a child than New Haven. No other community embraces more of its citizens more than
New Haven.
Presented to the Board of Alderman is a fair and honest budget that lives up to the
responsibilities entrusted to us by the people of New Haven. It is the right budget for this year.
It does not rely on the federal or state governments to bailout the City but assumes only what is
fair and reasonable. It does not increase the burden on taxpayers and seeks the right balance
between fiscal discipline and moving the City forward.
I look forward to working together with the Board of Aldermen toward the adoption of this
budget.
I wish to acknowledge the City’s budget staff, our department directors, and the entire city
workforce who serve the community with such passion and dedication. And finally, I must
acknowledge the City’s greatest strength – the quality of our people and families. It is all of you
who truly make New Haven the greatest place to live, work and play.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The legal framework for the operation of the City is provided by the Charter (last amended in 1993)
which provides for the election, organization, powers and duties of the legislative branch (the "Board
of Aldermen"), the powers and duties of the executive branch, the City's fiscal & budgetary operations,
including contracts, procurement, property and records. The Mayor, serving as the chief executive
officer is responsible for the execution and enforcement of the laws and ordinances of the City and
oversees all administrative functions. The City/Town Clerk serves a term concurrent with that of the
Mayor and is elected Citywide.
The Board of Aldermen performs all legislative duties and its President serves as Acting Mayor in the
absence of the Mayor. The Mayor elected by general election for a two-year term and eligible to
succeed himself without limitation has the power to appoint City department heads and members of
Boards, commissioners and agencies. The legislative body of the City is the Board of Aldermen
consisting of 30 members who are elected to two-year terms from their respective districts. The
President of the Board of Aldermen is chosen from its membership to preside at all of its meetings.
The Board of Aldermen adopts the capital and operating budgets and sets the tax rate.
BUDGET DEVELOPMENT
The Mayor is responsible for developing the budget of the City per Article XI of the City’s Charter.
During the months of January and February, the Mayor estimates both the amount of money
necessary to be appropriated for the expenses of the City and the rate of taxation for the fiscal year
which begins on the following July 1. The Mayor in proposing the rate of taxation is required to
estimate the receipts from taxes for the next fiscal year at not more than one percent less than the
actual rate of collection for the preceding fiscal year. The Mayor submits the recommended budget
and tax rate to the Board of Aldermen by March 1.
The budget is prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting except for encumbrances.
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the
expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is
employed as an extension of formal budgetary integration in the governmental funds. Encumbrances
are recognized as a valid and proper charge against a budget appropriation in the year in which the
purchase order, contract or other commitment is issued.
The Board of Aldermen is required to hold two public hearings on the proposed budget, one in March
following receipt and publication of the Mayor’s proposal, and the second prior to final action on the
budget proposal in May. During the intervening two months, the Finance Committee of the Board
meets with City officials to review the budget proposal. The Finance Committee transmits the
amended budget proposal on the third Monday of May to the full Board of Aldermen.
The Board of Aldermen may increase or decrease individual appropriations and revenue estimates.
The Board may increase the total budget, and it may increase the tax rate above the levels proposed
by the Mayor by a two-thirds vote of the entire Board. However, the Board of Aldermen may not
reduce any amount proposed by the Mayor for the payment of interest on or principal of the municipal
debt. If on or before the first Monday in June the Board of Aldermen fail to consider and act on the
budget as recommended by the Mayor, then the Mayor’s proposed budget shall become the legal
appropriation and legal tax rate for the City for the ensuing year. If the Board of Aldermen does
approve a budget then the Mayor may, within ten days subsequent to the approval of the budget,
either approve the budget as adopted by the Board of Aldermen, veto specific line items, or allow it to
become law without his signature. Any veto by the Mayor may be overridden by a two-thirds vote of
the entire Board of Aldermen. The budget as adopted must be balanced.
Not later than 28 days after the end of each month of the fiscal year, the Mayor, through the Office of
Management & Budget, submits to the Board of Aldermen and the Financial Review and Audit
Commission a report showing (I) budgeted and actual revenues up to the last day of the preceding
month and an estimate of such revenues for the fiscal year (ii) budgeted and actual expenditures for
each budgeted agency of the City up to the last day of the preceding month; and an estimate of such
expenses for the fiscal year. and (iii) the projected budget surplus or deficit for the fiscal year. Each
monthly report is filed in the Office of the City Clerk where it is available for public inspection.
The Financial Review and Audit Commission is a nine member financial review commission appointed
by the Mayor with the approval of the Board of Aldermen. Members are appointed for five-year terms.
The Commission meets monthly to review the financial condition of the City as outlined in the monthly
financial reports and in the audited financial statements.
After the close of the fiscal year on June 30, the unencumbered balance of each appropriation shall
lapse except for capital and non-recurring expenditures. The excess of cash receipts over
expenditures plus encumbrances shall be used only for capital and non-recurring expenditures for
financing the succeeding year’s appropriations. The Board of Aldermen is required by State Law to
annually appoint an independent certified public accounting to audit the financial transactions of City
Funds. By City ordinance, the City must change auditors every four years.
EMERGENCY/SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS
Appropriations, in addition to those contained in the annual appropriations (i.e. the budget), for
meeting a necessary emergency expenditure may be made before the close of any fiscal year on the
recommendation of the Mayor and approval by a two-thirds vote of the entire Board of Aldermen. This
can take place only if the Controller certifies that there are available unappropriated revenues in
excess of the appropriated revenues in the annual budget. Unless the Mayor certifies that the
emergency threatens the immediate public health or safety, the Board of Aldermen shall hold a public
hearing on any proposed special or emergency appropriation. However, no such appropriation shall
be made unless a special tax is laid to cover the amount of the excess of such appropriation over the
unappropriated revenues of the City.
General Fund - is the major operating fund of the City and operates under a legal budget. It is
used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in
another fund.
Special Revenue Fund- are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that
are restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. The City does not have legally adopted
annual budgets for the special revenue funds. Budgets for the various special revenue funds
which are utilized to account for specific grant programs are established in accordance with
the requirements of the grantor agencies. Such budgets are non-lapsing and may comprise
more than one fiscal year.
Debt Service Fund - is used for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of,
general long term bonded debt to be issued in future years.
Capital Projects Funds - are used to account for the acquisition or construction of major
capital facilities or improvements. The related bond ordinances and/or intergovernmental
grant agreements provide legal authorization for expenditures of the capital project funds.
Capital appropriations do not lapse until completion of the applicable projects.
2) Proprietary Funds:
Internal Service Funds - are used to account for the financing of goods or services provided
by one department or agency to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost
reimbursement basis. The City's internal service funds are its Self-Insurance Reserve Fund
and Medical Self-Insurance Fund.
3) Fiduciary Funds
Trust & Agency Funds - are used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or
as an agent on behalf of others. Trust funds consist of expendable, nonexpendable and
pension trust funds.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the
accounts and reported in the financial statements.
Upon the expenditures recorded. In the other, monies are virtually unrestricted as to purpose of
expenditure. These resources are reflected as revenues at the time of receipt or earlier if they meet
the criterion of availability. Major revenues that are determined to not be susceptible to accrual
because they are either not available soon enough to pay liabilities of the current period are not
objectively measurable include licenses, permits and fees.
Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the
liability is incurred, except for principal and interest general long-term debt which are recognized when
due and expenditures related to the actuarially determined pension contribution requirements in
excess of the actual contributions, compensated absences and worker's compensation which are
recognized when expected to be paid from current available resources.
Risk Management
The City is self-insured for property, general and automobile liability, workers' compensation and
employee health. The worker's compensation program is administered by the Connecticut Inter-local
Risk Management Agency (CIRMA) and the medical benefits is administered by Anthem
BlueCross/Blue Shield of Connecticut.

The Fiscal Year 2009-10 budget for REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES is based on the January 31,
2008 Net Taxable Grand List of $4,895,232,689.The Grand List is predicated on State enabling legislation
allowing municipalities to freeze revaluation at its current year. In New Haven’s case we are projecting a freeze
on year 2 of the phase in. In computing the amount of taxes to be collected in Fiscal Year 2009-10, the City
Charter requires budgeted revenues to reflect a tax collection rate of not at least 1% below the actual collection
rate of the last completed fiscal year. Since actual tax collections were 98.30% in FY 2007-08, budgeted tax
revenues are required to be based on a collection rate of 97.30% or below. Based on this requirement and tax
collections of the current year a collection rate of 97.30% has been used for budgeted tax revenue for FY 2009-
10. The Mill Rate has been kept at 42.21 mills.
SUPPLEMENTAL MOTOR VEHICLE TAXES are budgeted separately from the regular July 1 tax levy. These
taxes will be levied on January 1, 2010, on motor vehicles acquired after the October 1, 2008 assessment date.
For 2009-10, the budget assumes that the Supplemental Motor Vehicle Tax collections will be similar to those of
the current year.
CURRENT INTEREST is budgeted for interest charged on current taxes not received within 30 days of the July
1 and January 1 due dates, at the rate of 1.5% per month.
The interest rate on delinquent taxes 1.5% per month or 18% per annum.
BUILDING INSPECTIONS
Revenues are generated from the issuance of building permits and zoning fees. The FY 2009-10 estimate is
based on the current level of permit applications for major projects as well as routine permits for alterations
and repairs.

scale permanent improvements. Regular capital improvement programs for the maintenance of City streets,
sewers, parks and for purchases of major equipment are also financed through the capital budget. Capital
budget funding comes from the following four primary sources: the City's general obligation bonds/notes,

of the Capital Improvement Program represent planned budgetary authorizations only. Annually the five-year
improvement program is revised and the Board of Aldermen appropriates the first year of the program as the
City’s Capital Budget.
3) Appropriating Ordinance #3 comprised of Sections I, II, III, IV and V. Section I is the issuance of twenty
year debt, Section II is the issuance of ten year debt, Section III is the issuance of five year debt, Section IV
is for funding sources other than city bonds and Section V is for re-funding Bonds.

The accounting of Special Funds differs from that of the General Fund in several ways;
(1) General Fund accounting is performed according to the City’s fiscal year which is July 1
through June 30. Special Funds vary according to the particular source of funding.
Some of the grants are based upon a calendar year (January 1 - December 31), a
Federal Fiscal Year (October 1 - September 30), the City’s Fiscal year or the specific
time of the award. In addition, some grants are awarded in lump sums that cover multi-
year time frames. For budget purposes, the amount of grant may have been adjusted to
reflect only the portion of the grant that will be allocated during the City’s fiscal year.
(2) If a grant is awarded to the City each year, as is the case with the HOME and HOPWA
programs, the organization number will change to reflect the difference in the following
program year. Any unused funds will be transferred to the new fund.
The figures reported for FY 09-10 only reflect new awards and anticipated program income. At the close
of FY 08-09 the remaining balances will be added to the FY 09-10 budget.

MISSION/OVERVIEW:
The Transportation, Traffic and Parking Department is responsible for all aspects of traffic safety and
control and all on-street parking in the city, including traffic planning and analysis, installation and
maintenance of traffic control devices, signs, signals and markers, parking planning, meter distribution
and operation, public transportation and planning. The Department was reorganized in FY 07-08 to
balance all of these responsibilities with particular emphasis on “next generation” transportation initiatives
that enhance public safety, improve quality of life and support the long-term economic development of
New Haven. By division, some of the department’s specific responsibilities are noted below:
Administration & Planning: The department works closely with the city Plan Department and the
Economic Development group on major transportation initiatives including road/highway
improvements, airport enhancements, bike / pedestrian initiatives and transit programs. The
department provides staff support to the New Haven Port Authority and the director serves in an ex-
officio capacity on the New Haven Parking Authority’s Board of Directors.
Transportation safety and Control: The department’s traffic control responsibilities include sign
/signal improvement and maintenance programs, pavement markings, regulation of activities within
the public right-of-way; bus shelter maintenance / construction; construction staging and new
development reviews. The Traffic Control group also provides staff support to the New Haven
Traffic Authority and interacts on a daily basis with the Connecticut Department of Transportation,
the State traffic Commission and the South Central Regional Council of Governments on various
partnerships and inter-agency transportation issues.
Transportation System Management: The department is responsible for the management /
enhancement of the on-street parking program, including parking meters, vouchers, smart cards
and meter bag system management and design/management of neighborhood residential parking
zones. In addition, the parking operations group is responsible for the enforcement of on-street
parking regulations (parking tags) and the review of contested marking tags.
Safety Guards: The department’s safety crossing guards provide traffic control assistance at many
city schools during the morning and afternoon periods. In 2007, the division assumed additional
responsibilities and now may assist with emerging issues related to traffic safety and traffic calming
as well as special events as needed.

MISSION/OVERVIEW:
P LA N E XA M IN E R
The Building Department continues to maintain a high level of services through the issuance of building
and mechanical permits, zoning compliance, and inspections of all phases of construction and
reconstruction by enforcing city ordinances and state statutes as they pertain to public safety. Individuals
cited for working without permits are issued “stop work” orders; abandoned structures open to trespass
are ordered secured and, when necessary, ordered demolished. Building and demolition permits are
withheld on tax delinquent properties. An ordinance amendment requiring fines up to $1,000 for projects
that start without a valid permit has been successful in reducing the projects that are not permitted and
has increased permit revenues.
The Building Department Permit & License Center continues to issue permits for rooming houses, street
vendors, brokers, street and sidewalk excavations, obstructions, dumpsters, neighborhood block parties,
auctions, pay telephones, outdoor seating and awnings.
We continue to pursue professional development of staff to increase the department’s goal of “customer-
friendly service.”

Deputy Director
MISSION/OVERVIEW:
The mission of Economic Development is to retain existing business, attract new business, and to initiate
and administer large development projects throughout the City of New Haven. Projects involve
substantial capital investment and will result in significant job creation and expansion of the tax base. It
will work closely with federal, state, and local agencies, real estate brokers and the private sector to
identify incentives in the recruitment and retention of companies to and in New haven, thereby ensuring
the best possible employment opportunities for residents.
FY 2008-2009 HIGHLIGHTS:
Economic Development negotiated the largest private development deal in downtown New Haven in
20 years. This $165M development calls for almost 500,000 gross square feet with 450-500 units of
housing (50 affordable units), 30,000 sf of ground floor retail including a quality grocery store, an early
childhood education center and a minimum of 500 parking spaces. This project will be LEED Silver
certified.
Economic Development worked with Yale New haven Hospital (YNHH) to finalize development plans
for both 55 Park Street, a 140,000 sf lab/office building costing an estimated $60M and Lot E a 845-
space garage wrapped with 56,000 sf office, 14,00 sf retail and 24 housing units, estimated to cost
$50M.
The Downtown & Neighborhood commercial Façade Improvement Program continues to revitalize
downtown by giving business owners and business people the opportunity to improve their building
facades. Eligible applicants receive City grants to upgrade, repair, or replace a façade which in turn
leverages private investment.
Economic Development has been instrumental in the continued growth of Downtown New Haven,
with the arrival of many new business comprised of retail, restaurants, and other major tenants. The
repair of several downtown streets and sidewalks, the rehabilitation of commercial areas, and the
cleanup of several commercial neighborhoods has made New Haven a desirable location for area
business.
Economic Development continued executing the River Street Municipal Development Plan. When
completed, this largely blighted and desolated waterfront area will be revitalized, centering on a light
industry and extensive public riverfront access. In particular, we secured $2.5 Million in the
Legislative bond Package that will enable us to provide for additional remediation and pay for
extraordinary costs footings and foundations to develop in this area as well as begin restoration and
clean up of 34 Lloyd Street.
Economic Development negotiated a deal to put the long vacant 108 Food terminal Plaza building
back to productive use for light manufacturing allowing for job and tax creation in the City.
The Department of Cultural affairs continued to bring festivals and arts-related activities to Downtown
and neighborhoods.
FY 2009-2010 GOALS/INITIATIVES:
Economic Development will coordinated with the State Department of Public Works as they begin
construction of the new Gateway Community College downtown
Economic Development will continue to work with the Knights of Columbus on their development
plans on the former Coliseum site from Orange Street to Church Street to help this 600+ person
company expand their presence in the City of New Haven

LCI
DIRECTOR
Admin. Serv. Neigh. Serv. Property Div Code Enforc. Legal Div.
MISSION/OVERVIEW:
The mission of the Livable city Initiative (LCI) is to help stabilize and revitalize New Haven’s
neighborhoods through blight prevention, demolition of abandoned and blighted buildings, development
activities, and the provision of assistance in creating affordable housing opportunities. The cornerstone of
LCI’s success is the promotion of community involvement through the neighborhood specialist concept.
FY 2008-2009 HIGHLIGHTS:
LCI has continued to work with local non-profit housing organizations including Hill Development
Corporation, Mutual Housing, Edgewood Elm Housing, Greater Dwight Development Corporation,
Beulah Land Development Corporation, Habitat for Humanity, and Neighborhood Housing Services
as their various projects were implemented.
LCI continued to implement large housing projects to create housing for low / moderate income
individuals and families, including the completion of Q-Terrace Phase II and the major rehabilitation of
the historic Three Sisters building, creating 12 Energy Star certified units. LCI completed the
environmental remediation of the Ashmun / Canal site.
Due to the economic down turn in the real estate market LCI has shifted its focus to rehabilitation of
the existing housing stock and outreach to the community to provide foreclosure counseling through
ROOF (Real Options Overcome Foreclosure). ROOF was created in Fall 2007 which is a
collaboration of Yale Law School, Greater New Haven Community Loan Fund and the City of New
Haven.
LCI continued the lead abatement program with federal lead grant money.
LCI continued to be a strong presence in all neighborhoods with the help of the Neighborhood
Specialists. It has also continued the aggressive Housing Code and Section 8 inspection programs
and implemented a new residential licensing program to insure landlords maintain a high standard of
excellence throughout the City.
LCI continued to demolish blighted housing throughout the City, and the disposition of several City
owned properties has generated over one million dollars in the City general fund.
LCI continued the down payment and closing cost assistance program to create home ownership
opportunities to qualified individuals and families throughout the City.
LCI continued the property management program, removing graffiti, cleaning up vacant lots, towing
abandoned cars and many other anti-blight activities to create a more suitable and desirable
environment for living.
LCI is enforcing the City’s Anti-Blight Ordinance forcing blighted property owners to make
improvements to their property or pay a fine of $100 per day. To date, the City has initiated fines on
several property owners, and over 25 have been rehabbed or sold and 5 have been demolished since
we began enforcement.
FY 2009-2010 GOALS/INITIATIVES:
LCI will continue to work on its efforts to stabilize our neighborhoods due to the economic down turn
in the real estate market and will continue to be a major partner with the Yale Law School and
Greater new Haven Community Loan Fund in the ROOF (Real Options Overcome Foreclosure)
LCI will continue to work with non-profit developers to insure the completion of the initiatives now
underway. LCI will focus their efforts to the continued success of programs such as development,
demolition, anti-blight, disposition, homeownership assistance, neighborhood beautification activities,
housing code enforcement, property management, and all other activities undertaken by our real
estate division to keep new Haven a desirable place to reside.
LCI will continue to be the cornerstone of the City’s efforts to promote community involvement in all
neighborhoods.
Projects are in the pipeline to create housing for low / moderate income individuals and families,
including partnering with HANH on the redevelopment of Brookside and Rockview, transforming this
blighted area into a vibrant new neighborhood.
LCI will continue the down payment and closing cost assistance program, creating many new
affordable home ownership opportunities.
MAYOR
BOARD OF EDUCATION
SUPERINTENDENT
The New Haven Public Schools presents a draft operating budget of $178,134,618 for FY 2009-2010
representing a modest 3% increase over current year funding. This is a maintenance budget which
represents an understanding of the current economic climate. The largest portions of the budget continue
to relate to fixed costs such as negotiated employee salaries, transportation, special education and
utilities. Aggressive efforts will continue to be employed in order reduce these fixed costs, where
possible, through negotiations with collective bargaining unions, employment and expansion of the
comprehensive high efficiency energy program, increased reimbursement through the universal free
breakfast and lunch program and redistribution of staff and resources in order to maximize productivity
while minimizing added costs.
Over this past year the Board of Education has experienced some significant highlights which include but
are not limited to:
Major gains in State mastery test scores across the board at all levels including many double digit
increases at many schools. These gains continue the momentum and steady gains across the
district;
Successful Cambridge Report by the State of Connecticut which highlighted many areas of
achievement and solid structures within the Board of Education noting New Haven as a model among
Urban School Districts in Connecticut;
Two New Haven High Schools were among just 16 schools across Connecticut that were awarded
US News and World Report Silver designation;
Introduction and utilization of School Net computer system which has allowed for school, grade and
student specific performance tracking and data driven benchmarks and strategies designed to
increase student achievement;
State designation as the #1 Wellness Policy which reflects the Physical Activity and Wellness
programs, and a variety of healthy education initiatives that are being employed across the District
with our student population;
Successful transition to in-house Food Service Program with dramatic transition in healthy menu
choices for children increased student participation and federal reimbursements and successful
awards of numerous grants related to fresh fruits and vegetable and breakfast programs and
recognitions for the efforts to increase healthy eating and awareness and decreasing obesity.
Utilization of updated computerized systems to track purchasing and consumption which has served
to more efficiently track costs and mange the system more effectively;
Successful transition to an on-line work order system which has led to increased efficiency, reduction
in outsourced repair costs and identifiable measures of control and performance related to
maintenance issues;
Continuation of the Citywide School Construction Program with the opening in 2008-2009 of
Columbus Family Academy, Augusta Lewis Troup School and the Cooperative Arts and Humanities
High School. Now over 12,000 students enjoy new and renovated schools which contain state of the
art learning spaces within buildings, many of which are designed to high performance energy
efficiency levels. There are ongoing energy retrofits to existing buildings.
For the upcoming year the Board will continue to build off of the gains noted above. The challenges to
Urban Education remain significant and much more work needs to be done, while the Board faces fiscal
challenges to the very efforts that are making a real difference to students. In order to continue the
steady gains that have been achieved over the last few years we will continue to focus on the following:
Move forward with our partnership with the State Department of Education and Cambridge Education
by implementing new goals and a strategic district wide improvement plan focused on improving
student performance;
Expand successful implementation of new curriculum initiatives and literacy programs designed to
utilize the data driven approach with school and district wide data teams, thus expanding
individualized student interventions;
Expand and improve preschool initiatives through data driven strategies and review designed to push
for academic mastery in the preschool and kindergarten years;
Expand schools of choice for students of the New Haven Public Schools by enhancing program
design and expanding marketing efforts to maximize the magnet themes and school models that have
been adopted;
Continue to focus on stakeholder engagement and to increase parental involvement and partnerships
within the community through a redesigned website designed to increase access to information and
services, professional development of staff and workshops for parents and students;
Strengthen truancy initiative and refocus partnerships with Dr. James Comer and the New Haven Police
Department in order to effectively address social and emotional needs of students and to continue to
create a safe and nurturing learning environment while effectively reducing truancy rates and dropout
rates and increasing graduation rates.
