Annual Budget 2020-2021 Town of West Hartford, Connecticut ANNUAL BUDGET 2020-2021 Adopted by the Town Council Annual Budget Fiscal Year July 1, 2020 - June 30, 2021 Adopted by the Town Council West Hartford Connecticut Town of West Hartford – Office of the Town Manager 50 South Main Street, Room 310, West Hartford, CT 06107 P: (860) 561-7440 F: (860) 561-7438 www.westhartfordct.gov June 22, 2020 Town Council Re: Fiscal Year 2020/21 Budget I am pleased to present the fiscal year 2021 Adopted Budget totaling $300,246,758, representing an increase of $3,753,192 or 1.27% from the fiscal year 2020 Adopted Budget. The municipal services portion of the Adopted Budget totals $112,854,278, representing an increase of $2,494,704 or 2.26% over the current year Adopted Budget. The Superintendent of Schools’ Adopted Budget totals $170,073,528, an increase of $1,272,839 or .75% over the current year. The capital financing portion of the budget for both municipal and education services totals $17,318,952, a decrease of $14,351 or .08% from fiscal year 2020. Summary of General Fund Expenditures FY 2020 Adopted Town Council Adopted Increase/Decrease Percent Change Total Town Services $ 110,359,574 $ 112,854,278 $ 2,494,704 2.26% Board of Education $ 168,800,689 $ 170,073,528 $ 1,272,839 0.75% Capital Financing $ 17,333,303 $ 17,318,952 $ (14,351) -0.08% Total Expenditures $ 296,493,566 $ 300,246,758 $ 3,753,192 1.27% The Town will need to increase property tax revenue by $2,432,814 or .94% to finance the fiscal year 2021 Adopted Budget. Of this amount, $2,175,115 will be generated as a result of Grand List growth. With respect to the tax rate, the Town Council has adopted a uniform mill rate of 41.80 mills to finance the Adopted Budget. This represents a 0% increase for real and personal property, and motor vehicles. Taxes for the average homeowner with two vehicles should be consistent with FY 2020. Budget Policy Objectives This budget process was extraordinary as the impact of the COVID pandemic forced the Town and School District to re-evaluate the overall needs of the residents in conjunction with the overall ability to finance those needs in the face of significant unemployment, a plummeting economy, and the ongoing battle to maintain the spread of the deadly virus. Decisions that in normal times would not be considered, were discussed and implemented in the name of public safety and health, including the closing all Town buildings to the public, requiring non-essential staff to stay home, and cancelling all activities where individuals would congregate such as sports, camps, outdoor pools and public events. The state, through executive orders issued by the Governor, suspended or amended certain rules and requirements in order to allow local governments to operate in this new reality. As examples, distance learning and virtual meetings became the norm and working remotely became a necessity. Town of West Hartford – Office of the Town Manager 50 South Main Street, Room 310, West Hartford, CT 06107 P: (860) 561-7440 F: (860) 561-7438 www.westhartfordct.gov In order to adopt a budget that minimized the fiscal impact on both residential and commercial communities, management proposed and the Town Council ultimately approved significant budget adjustments including hiring freezes, anticipated union concessions, reductions in non-critical services (including laying off a sizable amount of the Town’s part time workforce), and putting on hold (pending further review and evaluation) all Town and Education activities that required public contact. In an effort to mitigate the potential property tax increase, the Adopted Budget includes the use of $1.5M of undesignated fund balance. Additionally, in accordance with the Pension Board’s long term goals, the Town further reduced the discount rate from 7.125% to 6.99% to better project asset growth rates. The increase in the Fund’s long term liability as a result of this decrease in the discount rate was primarily offset by adjusting the plan’s amortization growth rate to better reflect consistency with other communities. The Town also continues to fund Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) in accordance with actuarial recommendations. Revenue Outlook The 2019 Grand List increased by $52,036,239 or 0.82%, for a net taxable Grand List of $6,368,328,344. This represents measured growth during a non-revaluation year and is a testament to West Hartford’s continued ability to attract residential and commercial investment. The real estate portion of the Grand List increased by $31,168,568 or 0.55%. Personal Property increased by $5,866,459 or 2.9% and the Motor Vehicle list increased by $15,001,212 or 3.5%. The Adopted Budget maintains the current year’s property tax collection rate of 99.1%. The Governor’s Biennial Budget has fluctuations in a variety of categories over the current year revised State Aid projection. Under the Governor’s estimates, the Education Cost Sharing grant will increase by $423,671. The Youth Services Grant, which had been a general fund revenue and was appropriated to Bridge Family Services, is now going directly to Bridge Family Services. Some adjustments have been made to revenue accounts as a result of limited programs and services proposed for recreation, senior centers, the Elmwood Community Center, and outdoor pools. Additionally, due to declining interest rates, investment income is also projected to decline. In order to maintain the current FY 2020 mill rate of 41.80 mills for FY 2021, the Adopted Budget relies in part upon the use of $1.5 million in undesignated fund balance. Expenditures The Town of West Hartford’s General Fund budget is comprised of three major components: municipal services, the West Hartford Public Schools, and capital financing. 1) Municipal services - The municipal services portion of the Adopted Budget totals $112,854,278, representing an increase of $2,494,704 or 2.26% over the current year. The significant cost drivers leading to this increase include: Fully funding the Actuarially Determined Employer Contribution (ADEC) for the Pension Fund; Fully funding active and retiree health insurance; Town of West Hartford – Office of the Town Manager 50 South Main Street, Room 310, West Hartford, CT 06107 P: (860) 561-7440 F: (860) 561-7438 www.westhartfordct.gov Reducing the uninsured reserve level by $500,000 to $1million which better reflects a reasonable reserve level; Transferring one additional Police Officer (total of two) position and benefits to the Parking Fund; Reducing the projection for non-union unsettled labor contracts by $675,000, which will be achieved either through contract negotiations or layoffs; Increasing the ad valorem tax for wastewater service provided by the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) by $793,200 (6.9%); Reducing part time labor in Leisure and Social Services and Library to reflect the projected diminished programming available for summer camps, outdoor pools, Senior Centers and the Elmwood Community Center; all related to the COVID pandemic; Reducing part time labor in Public Works for Grounds Maintenance. Reducing other various accounts, including utilities, related to projected limited facilities usage as a result of the COVID pandemic. While no program has been eliminated in its entirety, some of the budget amendments will diminish certain service levels. 2) West Hartford Public Schools budget – the final budget adopted by the Board of Education totals $170,073,528, an increase of $1,272,839 or 0.75% over the current year. Significant drivers include the following: An increase of $3,300,000 for salaries, in accordance with collective bargaining agreements; A reduction of $1,970,000 in benefit costs as the cost of retiree health benefits will be funded by the BOE Retiree Health Reserve in fiscal year 2020-21; A net decrease of $57,000 for all other expenses, resulting from the planned use of $1,500,000 of current year surplus, which is to be transferred to a non-lapsing account and used to offset higher special education tuition, transportation, and professional services costs. 3) Capital financing – The capital financing portion of the budget for both municipal and education services totals $17,318,952, a decrease of $14,351 or 0.08% over the current year plan. Some notable projects for the first two years of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) include the Fern Street Bridge replacement ($4,200,000), School Security Improvements ($3,700,000), Animal Shelter ($750,000), Police Shooting Range ($750,000), Recycling Center Modernization ($1,370,000), and Storm Water Management Projects ($3,508,000). Fund Balance As stated earlier, one of management’s objectives is to continue the Town’s efforts to increase its undesignated fund balance in the General Fund. While West Hartford has long enjoyed a AAA/Aaa bond rating from the credit rating agencies, the Town was put on a negative outlook in fiscal year 2017 by Moody’s Investor Services due in part to the uncertainty regarding State aid and a low undesignated fund balance ratio as compared to peer Connecticut AAA rated municipalities. Town of West Hartford – Office of the Town Manager 50 South Main Street, Room 310, West Hartford, CT 06107 P: (860) 561-7440 F: (860) 561-7438 www.westhartfordct.gov Moody’s has since removed the negative outlook and reaffirmed the Town’s stable outlook as a result of the Town’s strong financial position and its commitment to achieve a 9% undesignated fund balance by the end of fiscal year 2019. While the Town’s bond or credit rating is important as it is a significant factor in determining the interest rate that the local government will pay on bonds that it issues, the Town has decided to utilize $1.5 Million of undesignated Fund Balance to stabilize the tax increase for FY 2021.

  • Final Section Part 2 Chapters
    East Hartford Plan of Conservation and Development 6. COMMUNITY FACILITIES 6.1. Introduction A principal function of local government is to provide the infrastructure and community facilities which allow for the sustained use and enjoyment of private property in the community. The availability, condition, capacity and cost of municipal infrastructure determine land-use mix and density and are key ingredients in defining the local quality of life. This chapter surveys the physical aspect of serving these functions through programs administered in town-owned facilities. Each of the functional service areas will be examined in light of existing programs, utilization levels and facilities. Functional areas include: police and fire departments, town offices, libraries, schools, and senior and youth services. Figure 11: Community Facilities locates town and school district properties. COMMUNITY FACILITIES GOALS: East Hartford should provide community facilities and services which respond to residents’ needs in a timely, efficient and cost-effective manner. Effectively manage and control stormwater drainage to minimize hazards to property and the public and protect East Hartford’s built and natural environment. 6.2. Existing Conditions 6.2.1. Water System The Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) provides the Town of East Hartford’s entire water supply system. The MDC is a nonprofit municipal corporation chartered by the Connecticut General Assembly in 1929 to provide potable water and sewerage services on a regional basis. Today, the MDC provides quality water supply, water pollution control, mapping and household hazardous waste collection to eight member municipalities in the Greater Hartford Region, including East Hartford. Figure 12 identifies the streets currently served by the water system.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Local Author Explores Hartford Hospital
    CONTACT: Donna Haghighat Chief Development Officer 860-695-6296 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Local Author Explores Hartford Hospital Fire of 1961 Hartford, Connecticut (July 6, 2015) — Hartford Public Library will host Pulitzer Prize-nominated author F. Mark Granato for a presentation on his historical fiction novel, “Out of Reach: The Day Hartford Hospital Burned,” on July 16 at 6:00 p.m. at the downtown library, 500 Main Street, Hartford, CT 06103. Granato’s acclaimed novel is based on testimony of veterans who fought the December 1961 blaze, a three-alarm flash fire that gutted the Hospital’s ninth-floor and claimed 16 victims including patients, a resident doctor, nurses, staff and visitors. A carelessly discarded cigarette is believed to have been the source of the fire, however, this has never proven. Ladders that couldn’t reach the fire floor, the absence of breathing apparatus in heavy smoke and lack of communications equipment severely hampered efforts. Through unthinkable acts of bravery and determination, the Hartford Fire Department contained the blaze to only one floor, saving countless lives. Granato’s presentation is the first of two programs in the Library’s “Hartford Heroes” series this summer that acknowledges the history and accomplishments of the Hartford Fire Department. “The Library is delighted to tell the illustrious history of Hartford’s heroic firefighters and to honor those who serve today,” said the Library’s CEO Matt Poland. On July 21, former Hartford Fire Chief John B. Stewart, Jr. will present his book, Hard Climb Up The Ladder: The Story of the First Black Fire Chief of a Major New England City.
