OF FINANCE OFFICE OF THE CONTROLLER Toni N. Harp Mayor 200 ORANGE STREET TONI N. HARP. ROOM 301 Daryl H. Jones NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT 06510 Controller Tel. (203) 946-8300- Fax. (203) 946-7244 March 15, 2018 To The Honorable Mayor and Board of Alders of the City of New Haven New Haven, Connecticut State law requires that every local government publish within six months of the close of each fiscal year a complete set of audited financial statements. This report is published to fulfill that requirement for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control that it has established for this purpose. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements. RSM US, LLP, Certified Public Accountants, have issued an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the City of New Haven’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2017. The independent auditor’s report is located at the front of the financial section of this report. Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it. Profile of the Government New Haven was founded in 1638, and incorporated as a city in 1784. The City is located in the heart of the northeast corridor between New York City (75 miles away) and Boston (140 miles away). It occupies 20 square miles and serves a population of 129.934 (Est. 2016). The City is empowered to levy a property tax on real property, personal property and motor vehicles located within its boundaries. The City is governed primarily under the Charter which provides for the election, organization, powers and duties of the legislative branch (the “Board of Alder’s”), the powers and duties of the executive branch and the City’s fiscal budgetary matters, 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. i The City/Town Clerk serves a term concurrent with that of the Mayor and is elected city-wide. The Board of Alder’s performs all legislative duties and its President serves as Acting Mayor in the absence of the Mayor. The Charter provides that the City maintain a variety of public services including the protection of persons and property, maintenance of streets and establishment of health, recreation and welfare facilities. The Constitution of the State of Connecticut establishes free public elementary and secondary education as the responsibility of the State. This responsibility is legislatively delegated to the City acting through its Board of Education. Municipal services provided by the City include: police and fire protection; health care; certain welfare programs; construction and maintenance of streets, highways and bridges; trash collection and disposal; provision for recreational programs and facilities; the acquisition and maintenance of City real and personal property, including vehicles; maintenance of building codes and regulation of licenses and permits; maintenance of records and library services; collection of taxes and revenues; purchase of supplies and equipment; construction and maintenance of airport facilities; and maintenance and operation of on-street parking facilities. Other governmental authorities provide service within the City, namely the New Haven Parking Authority, and the New Haven Solid Waste and Recycling Authority. The New Haven Parking Authority is an agency of the City established in 1951 to operate certain parking facilities for the City, as well as other parking facilities that are privately owned. The New Haven Solid Waste and Recycling Authority was established in 2008 and is specifically responsible for the operation and management of the City’s transfer station for solid waste disposal and recycling. The Board of Alder’s is required to adopt a budget for the fiscal year no later than May 31 preceding the beginning of the fiscal year on July 1. The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. Proposed commitments in excess of appropriations are not processed until additional appropriations are made available. The Board of Alder’s may establish by ordinance, from time to time, an amount of appropriation under the approved budget which the Controller, with the approval of the Mayor, shall be authorized to transfer between line items within any department or from one department to another. No such transfer in excess of such authorized amount shall be implemented unless

  • Yale University Athletics Sustainability Action Plan March 2016
    Yale University Athletics Sustainability Action Plan March 2016 Sustainability at Yale Yale University is dedicated to an integrated, comprehensive approach to policy and operations that balances ecosystem health with human health and economic viability in order to demonstrate that sustainability is both feasible and affordable. To accomplish this goal the University integrates sustainable practices into the fabric of institutional decision-making at all levels. Each unit on campus has a unique cultural context. Successful implementation of sustainability goals will rely on efforts to refine tools and tactics to suit this diversity of disciplines and perspectives. Figure 1: sustainability values This Document As a component of leadership and capacity building, the Yale Sustainability Strategic Plan commits to establish and implement a sustainability action plan for Athletics. The plan is intended to support the Yale-wide goals while reflecting the operational contexts of Athletics. This document offers overarching language about sustainability at Yale and indicates goals from the Yale Sustainability Strategy Plan 2013-2016 that are particularly relevant to Athletics. It then suggests a brief set of initiatives related to the operations and mission of Athletics. The Office of Sustainability will communicate with key staff members throughout Athletics on a regular basis to follow progress on the Action Items below and update this “living document” accordingly. Yale 2013-2016 Sustainability Strategic Plan The Yale 2013-2016 Sustainability Strategic Plan contains 25 ambitious-yet achievable goals divided into five categories: energy and greenhouse gas emissions, natural and built environment, materials management, food and well-being, and sustainability leadership and capacity building. Several of these have sub-categories, as demonstrated in Figure 2.
