Mr. John Shields, Publi sher New Haven Register New Haven, CT 11 Dear Mr. ShA,r-J(___ __ Thank you fo~t opportunity to di scuss the New Haven Reads Project during our breakfast meeting Tuesday. I' m sure that seeing me at both the start and the end of the clay was special for yo u.

The New Haven Reads project was designed as a twelve-month n1arketing campaign to mobilize the entire community in a concerted, multi-faceted initiative to promotet Ii eracy. Our aim is to create an atmosphere in th e ci ty that n1akes reading exciting for all New Haven citizens, but particularly for children and to channel human and financial resources into existi ng eflorts and programs that promote literacy. In other words, we want to build a city or readers ·•. Son1e of the expected outcomes of th e program include:

• Increase th e number of volunteers in targeted literacy organizations; • creation 'md maintenance or a Book Bank to distribute donated books to potential readers; • create a 'Nail of Readers that would feature famous as well as ordinary citizens as readers; • in conjunction with the Board of Education efforts, foster higher CMT scores; • increase circulation rates at the public libraries; • increase the nun1ber of library cards issued; • increase calls to a New Haven Readers Hotline; and • comp i l atio~ of a c a l e_~d ar of events relating to Li t~rac y.

As we also discussed, we can additionally add to our direction if you like. There is already some funding in place from the City and Yale. The Book Bank is already in operation at Chapel Square, and book distributions have already taken place to New Haven school students and home childcare centers.

Dear Friend,

There are so many things that make New Haven a terrific place to live and work. Our collaborative efforts have allowed this City to continuously grow, both economically and culturally.

Yale has played a tremendous role in that growth, and our partnerships have resulted in improved educational, health, and workforce opportunities.

The enclosed articles, dated February 18th from the Connecticut section of The New York Times, speak to that bond, how it is such an important part of the accomplishments of our past, and our vision for the future.

Ms. Marilyn Canfield, Project Director American Express Economic Independence Fund c/o l ational Endowment for Financial Education 5299 DTC Boulevard, Suite 1300 Greenwood Village, CO 80 111-3334

Dear Ms. Canfield:

I understand that Neighborhood Housing Services of New Haven is submitting a proposal for a financial literacy project that will be working with residents of Life Haven, a homeless shelter in New Haven. NHS' executive director, Jim Paley, has provided me with a brief description of the proposed program, and I an1 very excited by the prospect of having finan cial literacy skills taught to Life Haven residents. What makes this program so exciting is the way in which it brings together one of our leading financial institutions, Webster Bank, and two other nonprofit organizations in town, APT Vocational S~pices and Rachel's Table. Having five well established and highly regarded organizations working together on a project such as this is quite an accomplishn1ent, and with the support of the . American Express Economic Independence Fund, [ an1 certain that it will be extremely successful.

Homelessness is a problem that affects not only New Haven, but also cities and rural areas all across the country. While there are a variety of reasons why people become h01neless, we as public officials face the same basic challenge: to provide the necessary tools to homeless individuals and fan1ilies that will enable then1 to obtain suitable, pem1anent housing, and become self-sufficient so that they will never again have to endure the degradation of being without a home. Financial literacy is a prerequisite to econmnic independence, and Neighborhood Housing Services of New Haven has a strong track record of providing hon1eownership education and financial counseling to prospective hon1ebuyers in New Haven. It is my personal hope that the financial education NHS will be offering will make it poss_ible for the families served by this program to become homeowners at some point in time, and to become some of the future neighborhood and community leaders in our city.

Dear Mr. Sembor:

In response to your request for subtnission for the Connecticut Town and City Annual Report Contest, I am submitting our 2001 Calendar. While New Haven does not issue an annual report in the fonn of a booklet, the Calendar serves the same purpose - it is a means to convey the progress and growth New Haven has experienced in the previous year. It also lets residents know what the City has planned for the year ahead.

We have found that this method of munitipal reporting is a more effective means of communicating with our residents. In addition, by using this format, the calendar is more apt to be viewed by a larger number of New Haven residents, as people display it in their homes, offices, and businesses.

We are very excited about our calendar, and hope you will accept its entry in this year's contest.

March 12, 2001

Honorable Joseph Lieberman United States Senate 706 Hart Office Building Washington, DC 20510

Dear Senator Lieberman:

President Bush's proposed Federal Budget, if not altered, seriously threatens existing public housing in Co nnecticut. Two elements of this budget in particular pose the greatest risk: 1) the reduction by $700 million of the Public Housing Capital program (a 22% reduction) and 2) the elimination of HUD's Public Housing Drug Elimination Program (PHDEP).

Although the impact of these changes would be felt throughout the state, New Haven stands to lose more than just money; we will lo se critical momentum in our efforts to stabilize public housin g programs to over 6000 families.

The Housing Authority of the City of New Haven (HANH) has struggled for over a decade with poor management and insufficient resources. Under new leadership, HA H has eliminated its deficit, achieved a PHAS/MASS score that removes it from HUD's ttoubled list, and implemented a staff reorgani zation that will provide residents with quality property management services.

Good management alone, however, cannot transform a troubled housing stock after decades of underfunding of capital needs. HUD has already documented in its Capital Needs Study that the capital needs of existing public housing has been underfunded by $22.5 billion. HANH has performed an exhaustive needs-assessment of its entire portfolio. The Authority dete1mined that HA H's housing stock requires a minimum of $65 million over the next five years and $130 million over the twenty - year period merely to meet minimum code requirements. 1 The Authority's cunent Capital Funds allocation would be estimated at $20 million over the five-year period available to meet the $65 million demand. This $45 million funding gap translates into loss of units at a time when demand for affordable housing is on the nse.2

With stable Capital funding from HUD, and the flexibility that HANH is seeking (with your help) through Moving To Work designation, HANH can serve the same number of families, while saving as many hard units as possible. HANH also is prep(!red to ensure the quality of all remaining l)nits_,. If the Capital fund decreases, the $45 million gap between needs and available funds will increase. This increased gap will

1The Authority's assessment looked only at what was required to bring HANH's portfolio to minimum code requirements, now what was necessary to upgrade antiquated unit and site designs nor to estimate what was needed to make the projects market competitive.

2 The loss of affordable housing units in New Haven is particularly serious since the city carries 70% of the affordable housing for the entire region. inevitably result in a dramatic loss of affordable units and an inability to maintain existing units m a habitable condition.

As long as a modernization backlog remains high, a reduction in modernization funding provided through the Capital Fund Program is hard to fathom unless the goal is to worsen the physical conditions of the nation's public housing developments and force them into demolition. Any backlog of unspent modernization funding referenced by the White House appears to fall within the 36 months allowed by regulation to reach final expenditure. HUD can and already has recaptured funds from specific agencies with funds subject to expired implementation schedules. This mechanism is all that is necessary as it permits HUD to redirect funds from specific agencies that cannot perform to those that can.

In explaining this cut, HUD's budget statement reads, "regulatory tools will be used to address distressed public housing units that represent a disproportionate share of the backlog of capital needs." HANH has already made the determination about what developments to invest in. At a minimum, HUD should continue funding the Capital fund formula at its current level and allow the local agencies to manage the decisions about demolition, disposition and redevelopment.

HUD's reasons for eliminating the PHDEP program is that "the program was found to have limited impact" suggesting that eviction was more effective at reducing drug activity. HANH already uses evictions to weed out drug dealers and criminals. PHDEP funds are used for preventative programs for youth, for case management services for residents struggling to overcome addiction and for additional police patrols and security. None of these efforts can be addressed by eviction. PHDEP brings over $3 million to 18 communities across Connecticut and directly or indirectly benefits over 15,000 public housing households with enhanced security and social service programs. There is no question in my mind that without the PHDEP programs, drug activity will quickly increase at HANH developments.

HUD must retain the existing PHDEP program as a non-competitive grant program. Providing some funds on a competitive basis will not ensure that these critical programs continue. HUD's suggestion that housing authorities use operating or capital funds to support these activities suggests that there are excess funds available in those areas. This is not the case, as HUD has already documented.

Finally, HUD's proposed budget is misleading. Although the budget appears to show that HUD will get an increase in funding, at closer inspection, this is not the case. For example, the $150 million increase in operating funds will cover only part of the recent increases in energy costs, which some have estimated to be closer to $800 million.

Connecticut residents need your help in saving affordable housing. Please fight the cut in Capital Funds and ensure that the PHDEP program remains as a non-competitive grant.

PHDEP funds are used for preventative programs for youth, for case management services for residents struggling to overcome addiction and for additional police patrols and security. None of these efforts can be addressed by eviction. PHDEP brings over $3 million to 18 communities across Connecticut and directly or indirectly benefits over 15 ,000 public housing households with enhanced security and social service programs. There is no question in my mind that without the PHDEP programs, drug activity will quickly increase at HANH developments .

Finally, HUD 's proposed budget is misleading. Although the budget appears to show that HUD will get an increase in funding, at closer inspection, this is not the case. For example, the $150 million increase in operating funds will cover only part of the recent increases in energy costs, which some have estimated to be closer to $800 million.

Connecticut residents need your help in saving affordable housing. Please fi ght the cut in Capital Funds and ensure that the PHDEP program remains as a non-competitive grant.

Retention Plan

Please outline below your proposed retention plan if your agency receives an award under the MORE 2001 grant program. As with previous grants, the City ofNew Haven commits to maintaining equipment and software purchased for the useful life of products. Included in the budget request is first year maintenance costs, which begin once system is functional. Maintenance costs include 24/7 response time, an absolute necessity in police work. Yearly maintenance fees include product upgrades as issued by company. The NHPD has used the IBM AS400 computer system and a Motorola Radio frequency broadcast system for many years and is committed to continuing support. Maintenance contracts will be supported by the City into the future. Newer technology will replace the oldest Mobile Data Computers purchased in 1996, which have been in continuous operation since installation and are no longer under warrantee. Other uses within the Police Department or other City agency will be found so that their useful life will be extended. A variety of resources have funded the purchase and maintenance of equipment: General Funds, General Obligation Bonds, and grant funds including the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant and an earlier COPS More program.

Assuming that grant funds are awarded, the acquisitions anticipated for this project have a useful life in excess of the required 'one funding cycle.' The time savings accrued with improved technology will provide additional opportunities for police officers to be available for community policing activities particularly in the areas of problem solving, crime prevention, and interaction with residents. New Haven has adopted community policing as its core philosophy and this will be continued. The entire patrol function is decentralized into ten policing districts with about 300 officers and supervisors assigned by ·strict. ·-fi. ·./I f

Honorable Board of Aldermen City of New Haven 165 Church Street New Haven, CT 06510

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I transmit herewith a proposed resolution which re-enables the City of New Haven to undertake activities authorized under the City and Town Development Act.

The purpose of this Act is to enable municipalities to undertake or assist in the financing, development, construction or reconstruction of housing, industrial, commercial, recreational, transportation or related service facilities. The Act gives the City the power to purchase, own and hold, as lessee or lessor, any development property within the City borders. The City may also borrow money, issue bonds, or make loans to sponsors in furthering the purposes of the Act.

Since your Board first authorized the City's use the powers of the Act a number of beneficial projects have been accomplished. With ever diminishing federal and state resources, the Act offers many advantages and the ability to support development throughout the City. Approval of this resolution allows the question to appear on next November's ballot for a decision by the voters. Thereafter the specific projects undertaken using the powers of the Act must be approved individually by YOl:Jr Board.

Mr. John Herzan Connecticut Historical Comn1ission 59 South Prospect Street Hartford, CT 06106-1901

Dear Mr. Herzan:

I was glad to learn that the Historical Commission would be evaluating the significance of Fort Wooster Park in consideration of listing it on the State Register of Historic Places. The sweep of history that is associated with this site is tndy impressive. From the early 1600's when the Quinnipiac Indians cleared the hill for trading purposes, to the Revolution when patriots selected it as a site for beacon fires, to the War of 181 2 when fortifications were installed and the site was renamed for Revolutionary hero General David Wooster this place has been marked by many of the important events that have marked the rich history of this region and its people.

I enthusiastically support the listing of Fort Wooster Park on the State Register. The recognition that such listing will confer wiri help ensure that this resource and its historic associations will be preserved for the enjoyment of n1any generations to come.

Dear Sir/Madam:

It is a pleasure to write this letter in support of the visa petition for Die Audio Gruppe, an audio performance art group from Germany. This year, they have been invited to perform at the International Festival of Arts and Ideas in New Haven, Connecticut. The 2001 Festival will take place June 14 - June 30.

Solidly established internationally as one of a few "tenacious festival organizations who regularly present important new works from abroad" (A111 erican Th eatre), the International Festival of Arts and Ideas will celebrate their sixth season this year. An eighteen-day cultural event, the Festival presents theatre, music, dance, jazz and visual arts as well as a series of talks, lectures and conferences. Including Die Audio Gruppe in the Festival's programmihg this season wi ll allow the Festival to honor the commitment they make each season to their audience- the opportunity to experience classic, innovative and cutting edge works performed by a variety of artists in a variety of artistic disciplines.

Internationally recognized as a unique group, one of distinction in the performance art world, Die Audio Gruppe has toured extensively to countries which include the United States, France, Italy, Poland, Denmark and Japan. I am proud that these outstanding artists have been invited to perform at the International Festival of Arts & Ideas as their participation will be a significant event in our city and state.

Kindly respond favorably to the request that non-immigrant visas be granted to Die Audio Gruppe and their essential support personnel.

Very truly yours,

Memo

To Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. From: Chief Melvin H. Wearing . ifJ\rJ (J'f) CC: James Horan Date: March 15, 2001 Re: Grant Applications: Domestic Violence Initiative/COPS More 2001 Attached please find a series of documents for your signature prior to submission of applications for funding.

The first group of documents pertains to a continuation grant request for the Domestic Violence Initiative. We will be applying for approximately $550,000. The funds will be used to continue the clinical partnership with the Yale Child Study Center and advocacy by Domestic Violence Services and the Coordinating Council for Children in Crisis. An additional allocation is budgeted for community awareness events.

The second group of documents relates to the COPS More 2001. Funds that will be available to this department for the acquisition of a field reporting system will be used to leverage an additional $375,000 in federal resources. These funds will be used in conjunction with the field reporting system: expansion of radio transmission capacity, connection of the Police Academy to NHPD's computer network, and networked work stations at substations and key locations within headquarters. This will allow training opportunities and general usage of field reporting throughout the department.

The required Aldermanic submission packages will be completed by Monday.

Please contact Judith Sklarz at extension 6306 when the documents are ready to be picked up.

Honorable Board of Aldermen City of New Haven 165 Church Street New Haven, CT 06510

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I transmit herewith a proposed resolution which re-enables the City of New Haven to undertake activities authorized under the City and Town Development Act.

In order to use the various powers conferred upon a municipality by the City and Town Development Act, both the governing body of the City and the electorate must approve the use of these powers for a period of not more than five years. Authorization of this Act was taken previously by your Board and the electorate at general elections held in 1976, 1981 , 1986, 1991 and 1996. In order for this question to appear on this November's ballot, it is necessary for your Board to take action on this resolution by August 3, 2001 . The adoption of this resolution after a public hearing by your Board will authorize a referendum on the matter and given the approval of the voters, the City may continue to take advantage of the provisions of the City and Town Development Act. ·•. The purpose of this Act is to enable municipalities to undertake or assist in the financing, development, construction or reconstruction of housing, industrial, commercial, recreational, transportation or related service facilities. The Act gives the City the power to purchase, own and hold , as lessee or lessor, any development property within the City borders. The City may also borrow money, issue bonds, or make loans to sponsors in furthering the purposes of the Act.

March 16, 200 1

Mr. Patrick E. Clancy President & CEO The Community Builders, Inc. 1628 John F. Kennedy Boulevard Philadelphia, PA 1 103-2197

In response t yo r letter of March first, I have asked my Community Services Administrator, Melodie Peet, how we o d assist you in continuing to provide essential employment and training services to the residents of Church Street South. Ms. Peet is one of the City's representatives to the WIA Board, which oversees Workforce Investment Act funding.

We have learned that all of the Welfare to Work dollars have been committed and that there are no more funds at this time. The Empower New Haven program has granted funding to Community Builders' job readiness and placement program at Church Street South and has an ongoing interest in funding programs that demonstrate success in moving individuals into higher paying jobs and attaining homeownership or private housing. In addition, the STRIVE program is located on Howard Avenue which is close by and open to Church Street South residents. The Community Action Agency has some remaining Welfare to Work dollars, and we have asked Marcial Cuevas to look at how these funds can be used to support your efforts. In addition, we have asked the director of the One-Stop Career Office on Ella T. Grasso Boulevard, Heather Crislip, to work closely with you and Cynthia to ensure that whatever funding and services are available will be used to help the residents of Church Street South. Rhoda Zahler, who works with Melodie Peet, has spoken with Cynthia DeLouise, and is also available to continue to provide assistance and information.

I regret that federal funding we received in the past for programs such as this one has been drastically reduced. We are fortunate to have some additional resources, such as STRIVE and Empower New Haven, to help us with the important work of training our residents for jobs with living wages. I hope that these efforts are helpful.

Very truly yours,

Recommendation for Peter J. Mazza

Dear Senator Lieberman:

We write to recommend Peter J. Mazza for a position in your office. Both of us have had the opportunity of getting to know Peter in person, as he worked in the Mayor's Office as a Yale President's Public Service Fellow in 1999, and in the Office of New Haven and State Affairs during the summer of 2000.

Peter is a young man with charisma, intelligence, and strength and sensitivity. Peter is the first player on theyale football team to be e!ected as captain unanimously on the first ballot by his teammates. He has led the team through a winning season and through their commitments to community outreach and youth engagement. As captain, Peter has successfully set an example of rigor and discipline for his teammates to follow.

The Mayor's Office and the Office of New Haven and State Affairs both pursue work that is extremely diverse. Our colleagues who supervised Peter both reported that he works well with other and works with discipline. He approaches projects pragmatically, setting out a course of action that he pursues until he produces results.

Peter is an effective communicator with a facility for relating to others. He has proven himself an effective communicator in settings from the Seal of the City Dinner and Walter Camp Football Foundation Awards Banquet to more informal settings with school children. He is highly respected ·in his hometown community of Cheshire and-throughout the Yale community by athletes and non-athletes alike.

Moreover, Peter was recently awarded a distinguished fellowship to teach English to children in China, which he deferred for family reasons. Such positions require flexibility and the ability to question assumptions, and it is clear that that selection committee felt that Peter embodies these traits.

New Haven ...... phone 203.946.8200 fax 203.946.7683 ;qm >:rThis creative impression is the work of Israel Mercado, a student at Prince School . 1998 We believe that Peter can be an asset to your staff. He is motivated by a desire to serve the public good and use his skills and education to make a contribution to society. We believe that Peter possesses teamwork and analytical skills to make an impact wherever he works. If you have any questions, please feel free to have your staff contact either of our offices.

Dear Mr. Melville:

I'm writing to express the City's appreciation for your generous gift to Colun1bus House which has enabled the purchase of their new home on the Boulevard.

The destabilization of the Columbus House program has had a profound impact on the service delivery system in New Haven. Having this happy outcome is of enormous impact in setting the stage·· for a new era in homeless service system development in the City of New Haven.

I realize that you have invested liberally in our community for many years, so I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you both for that ongoing commitment to the City of New Haven as well as for your most recent support of the Columbus House program.

I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude for so generously sharing your time, your enthusiasm, and your expertise with the New Haven public school students who participated in Youth in Government Day 2001 . The program was a great success this year thanks to your assistance and support.

This year 56 city high school students participated and all enjoyed the mock committee meetings and Aldermanic meeting. The students were also overjoyed with the opportunity to meet with you individually to discuss the role as a member of the City of New Haven Board of Aldem1an and how !ocal legislation can make an impact upon the whole city. Many students indicated an understanding of the overall importance of learning how local government operates day to day. Many rnore students realized that the legislative process impacts them as well as other City of New Haven residents.

Thanks again for making this years Youth in Government Day an overwhelming success which has enlightened our students to pursue future roles as civic leaders.

Dear Mayor ~fano~ J. Lynn Singleton, president of our Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) and its subsidiary, Professional Facilities Management, Inc. (PFM), has informed me that PFM intends to respond to the RFP soon to be issued for private management of your city's famed Shubert Theatre . Since Lynn Singleton assumed responsibility at PPAC, back in 1983, it has become the linchpin of our downtown 's award-winning Arts & Entertainment District, acclaimed by theatre professionals, publications , and organizations for its extraordinary programming, outstanding management, and for energizing the cultural and artistic opportunities available in our capital city. I understand that Lynn and his staff have worked similar magic in the other facilities managed by PFM.

Since the completion of its ambitious $7 million stage expansion project in 1995-supported by the City, State , the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration , HUD , corporations and individual donors-PPAC has been able to accommodate big Broadway plays , such as The Phantom of the Opera and Miss Saigon. During The Phantom 's first six-week engagement at PPAC in the fall of 1995, it generated $30 million in economic spinoff. Saved from demolition in my first term as Mayor back in the 1970s, the theatre can now boast of a state-of-the-art stage house, a lobby and auditorium that have been authentically restored to their original1928 elegance , and a marquee that lights up the Arts &Entertainment District.

Programming was expanded just last year to include the Cerrone Celebrity Series , bring ing perennial favorites such as Englebert Humperdinck, Anne Murray, and Wynonna to Providence , augmenting PPAC's musicals, dramas and the popular City Children's Series. The progressive spirit that defines PPAC and PFM creates enrichment for people from throughout our region , supports our burgeoning tourism industry, and enhances the vitality and variety of offerings of our downtown.

In order that you might view firsthand this extraordinary venue and meet Lynn Singleton and his management team, I am pleased to invite you, Mayor DeStefano, to be my guest in Providence during the next few weeks, as your busy schedule permits. Lynn and I would be honored to host a dinner for you and to give you a tour of our magnificent PPAC in order to show you what this talented team of theatre professionals has accomplished in Providence. I look forward to hearing from you soon and send along my warmest wishes.

Dear Mr. Jacob:

Thank you for recent note. You have some interesting ideas, and I thank you for sharing them with me. However, the City has neither the financial capacity nor the available, vacant land required to construct such truck exchange areas. I would suggest that this is matter for discussion with the State of Connecticut's Department of Transportation which might consider a project such as this using excess highway right-of-way land . • As you may have read recently in our local paper, crime statistics are down in New Haven. While this is due in part to a good economy, it also speaks to our community policing efforts which have placed more officers on the streets and increased their visibility. We're working on it!

Dear Mr. Ginsberg:

I am writing in full support of the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven's (CFGNH) grant applications for the Healthy Start Initiative. The four competitions; Eliminating Disparities in Perinatal Health, Interconceptional Care for High Risk Women and their Infants and Improving Women's Health Through Screening and Intervention for Depression will greatly assist us in enhancing and expanding our perinatal system of care.

As you know, reducing perinatal mortality continues to be one of New Haven 's highest priorities. The City of New Haven is working diligently with our community partners to eliminate disparities in health status outcomes, develop a comprehensive system that assures the highest quality of care, and facilitate access to care through the expansion and improvement of th e Maternal and Child Health infrastructure. The Health Department's 10 year Strategic Plan has identified these issues as part of our level I priority areas.

The City through its Hea lth Department has been actively involved in the evolution of this proposal and is corru11itted to the ongoing development of effective, mutually beneficial working relationships between municipal government and the community. The process of identifying gaps and opportunities w ithin our system of health and human services, facilitated tlu·ough Healthy Start's Joint Project Advisory Committee (JPAC) and Perinatal Partnership, has assisted us in achieving a common understanding of the problem and consensus regarding the solutions.

The strategies detailed in this proposal offer an exciting opportunity for New Haven to continue our downward trend in perinatal mortality by moving beyond conventional approaches, and integrating the public health and medical models. We pleased to join the Community Foundation in providing leadership to this citywide collaboration of innovative programs and partnerships.

To Whom It May Concern:

It is my pleasure to provide a recommendation for Ms. Alma Ayala who served as my Director of Human Services from 1994 through 2000 when she left to pursue other opportunities.

In her position as one of four City coordinators, Ms. Ayala oversaw the day to-day operations of the Department of Children and Family Services, Elderly Services, the Health Department and New Raven's anti-drug initiative, Fighting Back. With her leadership and commitment, New Haven made great strides in addressing the needs of the homeless population, increasing the number of transitional housing slots available, improving access to substance abuse treatment, to childhood immunization programs, and to other important initiatives. •

Ms. Ayala possesses a rare sensitivity to the needs of inner-city residents which makes her an effective advocate and a real voice for neighborhood empowerment and accessibility to services and opportunities.

I have no hesitation in recommending Ms. Alma Ayala as a valuable employee and an asset to any organization.

Dear Colleague;

As you know legislation to restore the .municipal regulation of smoking is currently-being debated by the Connecticut General Assembly. It is important that Connecticut's towns and cities get behind this legislation not only to protect the health of our residents, but to restore home rule.

Prior to 1993, Connecticut's towns and cities had the ability to regulate smoking in their communities. When the State Legislature passed a law banning smoking in municipal and state owned buildings, language was included to prevent municipalities from further regulating smoking.

Passage of this enabling legislation will allow municipalities that are interested in passing ordinances relating to smoking in public buildings to do so. This legislation is not a mandate_ It simply places the decision in the hands of local government as to whether more stringent regulations are necessary regarding smoking and second-hand smoke.

A petition will be sent to all 187 state legislators asking them to support legislation to restore the municipal regulation of smoking. It is important that our legislators hear from their local elected officials_

We appreciate your assistance in passing this legislation.

Sincerely, A~ /£-go£- Mitchell R. Goldblatt Peter Webster First Selectman First Selectman Town of Orange Town of Essex

The State of Connecticut currently forbids cities and towns from enacting strong tobacco

control regulations. Since 1993 a state laW 7 written by the tobacco industry, has prohibited municipalities from enacting regulations stronger than the state laws concerning environmental tobacco smoke.

Second-hand smoke contains asbestos, benzene, formaldehyde and other hannful chen1.icals. The United States Envirornnental Protection Agency has defined second-hand

smoke as a carcinogen, a substance that causes cancer. Each year 407 000 Americans die from diseases caused by second-hand smoke.

While state law has established a baseline of protection from second-hand smoke~ this baseline allows too many people-to be exposed to this harmful substance. Municipalities should have the right to provide greater protection to adults and children from second hand smoke in public places. It should be a decision made at the local level as to whether stronger regulations are necessary.

As elected officials ofConnecticut•s towns and cities, we strongly urge the Connecticut General Assembly to recognize the dangers of second-hand smoke by repealing the preemption language contained in subsection (f) of section 19a-342 of the Connecticut General Statutes.

Subject: Letter of Intent to provide operating funds, and capital n1atch for the New Haven Electric Trolley Project

Dear Mr. Doyle:

The City of New Haven is con1mitted to funding the local match for the proposed electric trolley in the city. The city received $250,000 in fiscal year 2000 and $1,000,000 in fiscal year 2001 for the project. The following information is provided as an update regarding operating and match funds. Below is a summary of the funding computation :

Original Appropriations Federal$ Available• Local 20°/o Matched Total Available (Less Federal Agency Needed Project Funds

Administrative costs) $250l000 (FHW A} $217)59 $54l437 $272l187 $1l000l000 (FT A} $990) 15 $247l579 $1)37l894 Totals $1,208,065 $302,016 $1.510.081

The City of New Haven will provide the 20°/o match of the $1,208,065 congressional appropriations, which amounts to $302,016.

Dear Mr. ~/to•'I

On behalf of the City of New Haven, congratulations once again on your appointment. I look forward to working with you.

I am writing to reiterate to you how excited I am about our new initiative entitled New Haven Reads, and the New Haven Register's involvement.

New Haven Reads is a coalition of city agencies and literacy organizations dedicated to raising public awareness about the power of reading. It is a media campaign designed to celebrate and uplift the importance of literacy to the New Haven community, supported by a community book bank, hotline for people seeking links to literacy organizations and other components.

I was delighted that John Shields had reviewed New Haven Reads and was enthustiastic enough that he was considering chairing our New Haven Reads steering committee and to commit 12 full page ads by the Register at a considerable of $3,000 per ad. The Register's commitment has been widely shared among community leaders, with great response.

I am enclosing for your private review a power point presentation that will be presented at a breakfast of media and community leaders in April. Please review the materials at your earliest convenience. I will call you within a few days to follow up. We would like to go ahead with the breakfast presentation, but it would be so much more effective and powerful if we knew that you and the Register remain on board.

Dear Mr. Rodbell:

I am writing to convey my wholehearted support for the City of New Haven's application for fu nding a Title VIII project under the 2001 Urban and Con1munity Forestry Focused Funding. We have recently completed a street tree inventory, which is a n1ajor financial investn1ent in our urban forest. Many comn1unities, however, are uncertain whether the resources expended on a comprehensive· tree inventory are worth the investment it represents.

This project will help illustrate that an inventory pays strong dividends when used to implement a practical plan for on going tree managen1ent. We believe that the success of this effort will do even n1ore than i1nprove New Haven's urban forest health and maintain tree canopy cover. It will also help broaden the base of public support for sustainable community forest management.

More proactive urban forest management will benefit New Haven's neighborhoods with increased attention to maintenance and risk management as well as new tree plantings. Increased citizen awareness of tree needs should lead to increased citizen involvement in the form of new community-bas~d tree programs.

Presentations and publications about this Title VIII project will thus extend its potential benefit well beyond the City lin1its.

For these reasons, I strongly endorse the Urban and Community Forestry Focused Funding grant proposal being submitted by the City of New Haven and look forward to hearing of its approval. OFFICE OF THE MAYOR

In addition to the Ass-urances and Certification forms included in the package, I certify as Mayor of the City of New Haven the laws, policies, and practices of the City of New Haven which comply with State of Connecticut Statute:

(a) Mandate arrests of domestic violence offenders based on probable cause that an offense has been committed;

(b) Mandate arrests of domestic violence offenders who violate the terms of a valid and outstanding protection order;

(c) Prohibit the issuance of mutual restraining orders of protection except where both spouses file a claim and the court makes detailed findings of fact indicating that both spouses acted primarily as aggressors and that neither spouse acted primarily in self-defense; and

(d) Do not require that an abused person bear the costs associated with filing criminal charges or the service of such charges on an abuser, in connection with the prosecution of any misdemeanor or fe lony domestic violence offense, or that the abused person bear the costs associated with the issuance or service of a warrant, protection order, or witness subpoena.

In addition, the Department of Police Service in its policies, practices and training programs discourage dual arrests of offender and victim by General Order 86-2.

Re: Yale Child Study Center

Dear Ms. Kelley:

The Department of Police Service requests that the Yale Child Study Center be named sole source contractor for the grant awarded to the City of New Haven by the Violence Against Women' s Grants Office. The Department of Police Service and the Yale Child Study Center have long collaborated on issues dealing with violence as it affects children. The Child Development-Community Policing program is a national model that pairs police officers and child development clinicians to intervene in situations where a child has been witness to or a victim of violence. The CD-CP program has been replicated in several cities in the United States and similar efforts are underway in several European cities. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention recently funded the National Center for Children Exposed to Violence at the Yale Child Study Center, where Yale clinicians and New Haven Police Department officers train other communities.

I hope that this provides you with sufficient information to make the sole source designation.

Re: New Haven Armory, 280 ffe Street

Dear commissioner Armrt

I know that we will e 30 , but I thought it useful to react to the Departmen rrection' s idea of using the Gaffe Street Armory in New Haven as sit f or 500 prison beds. As you undoubtedly recall, it was less tha year ago that both city government and community residents expressed opposition to use o f the New Haven Armory in any part, or at any time, for the incarceration or h o lding o f persons charged with, or convicted o f, a crime even on a temporary or emergency basis. I have not c hanged my views on this matter.

The proposal to convert the Armory to a prison wa s not acceptable last year . That proposal is not acceptable this year. Nor will that proposal be acceptable next year or in the years after that . The use of that property is inconsistent with the condition placed on the property by the General Assembly in 1929 , as reco rded on the land records, that the property be used as a state armory o r revert to the city of New Haven.

More importantly, a prison facility at that location is inconsistent with the nature and character of the other uses in the neighborhood . Across the street from the Gaffe Street Armory is Degale Field, a park and playground where neighborhood children run track and play baseball, basketba-ll and .soccer. Within one block_ of. the Armory are the Helene Grant Elementary School and Hillhouse High School. Bowen

Re: Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies

Dear Ms. Kelley: I am pleased to submit for your review an application for funds under the Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies program. The City of New Haven acknowledges that domestic violence requires a highly integrated approach to reduce its impact on the community. In addition to the creation of a dedicated investigative unit in our Department of Police Service in 1993, the City supports services to victims of domestic violence through its annual Community Development Block Grant allocation. The grant application indicates our willingness to improve an already impressive track record in this field. We have expanded our ability to initiate investigations as close to the time of the occurrence of the crime and provide better services to victims through a series of home visits. We have expanded our record keeping capacity through database development to increase offender accountability and proactively impact arrests and prosecutions. We continue to work with local and state Domestic Violence advocacy organizations to increase our collective ability to service victims. Finally, we are working with faith-based organizations to educate our community so that domestic violence will not be to lerated at any level. I hope that you find our application responsive to your request for proposals. Service to the community and in particular to its victims is of great importance to the general well-being of New Haven. er:®\

Dear Ms. Buxbaum:

I am delighted to submit this letter in support of your efforts to provide additional affordable artists housing and retail space in the Westville Village. In particular, I endorse the collaboration of your ArtLofts West Development Project Team, with the graduate students from Southern Connecticut State University to participate in the J.P. Morgan Chase Community Development Competition. This type of neighborhood partnership will be critical to the long-term revitalization of the SCSU, Westville and West Hills area.

The City Of New Haven has successfully supported numerous neighborhoods to achieve our goal of increased homeownership. The City however, has also been aggressive in working towards adequate units on affordable housing. ArtLofts West pursues another important goal which is to accommodate the housing/work place needs of studio artists who have distinguished our City by choosing to live here and to practice their creative crafts. It is no accident that we the Arts Capital of Connecticut. We pay attention to these types of unique needs.

I am encouraged by the grassroots focus of your development team of Mutual Housing of South Central Connecticut and Arise and Build, LLC. The nature of the Mutual ·Housing philosophy builds stability and fosters resident participation while Arise and Build has empowered the neighborhood to take control and to invest in the future of their community Also, there is added significance to your project in that the area and development parcels are in our Empowerment Zone.

I commend you and your partners on your work to date and encourage your continued collaboration with the City, State and your immediate neighborhood to implement this ambitious plan and to win the J.P. Morgan Chase Community Development Competition.

1. FINANCE COMMITTEE. I understand that we have a date set for Tuesday, June 12 through Wednesday, June 13. With regard to the Finance Committee meeting I would like to review the Agenda before it is distributed to the Committee in advance of our meeting. Now S t"f"1- remind me - we need to have a meeting or discussion among a small group of the Committee ut~ll" before June to discuss selection of a new auditor.

Following our discussion at the last Officer's Meeting in Washington I would like to suggest that we organize an effort that encompasses the following points: • Visibility, marketing and media contact at all NLC meetings including Policy, Board, Advisory and others. Specifically I am thinking that we should use these meetings to reach out to local media markets and, whenever possible, to national media; • Development of a schedule and plan for national media placements and events throughout the year; and • Use of advocacy activities in Washington to provide visibility to our members and our Issues. I would suggest that we agree on a direction and then discuss how we might implement it and then talk with the other officers. Perhaps we could do this in the next 30 days.

I realize that this is subject to Dennis and Karen's desires as \ \ well as the State Leagues wishes. However I would like to visit 5-7 Leagues this year and a larger number in 2002 - frankly as many as reasonably possible. In other words, I would like to do as many visits as possible prior to 2003. I would generally like these visits to be overnight so that I can meet separately with League officers and directors. I would also like to organize an activity or visit whenever possible in connection with my Futures Topic. I would also like to undertake a press activity with League officials in connection with each event. • Steering Committee Visits. I would like to attend 2-3 Steering Committees each year. I would like to do this in the same fashion as I suggested with regard to the State Leagues. Overnight with an activity· - c.J..O'-'-'-- l!!i.

RE : CT Transit Service

Dear Mr. Boswell,

You described your difficulty in making a bus connection to your job in East Haven from Bella Vista. Since the bus service is an arterial route system based on service along routes that have the most riders , a cross town trip such as the one you make necessitates transfers and is a much longer trip since it is not direct. As you know, the City has no direct influence on the funding for CT Transit, although the City lobbies constantly for improvements in the service because New Haven residents are in the.• majority in use of CT Transit services . I forwarded a copy of your letter to Donna Carter at Greater New Haven Transit Service. It seems that it would be most efficient if a trip like yours could be made directly via the Transit District's handicapped service if you are eligible to use this service. I believe that you are eligible based on your letter. You mentioned the lack of bus shelters. Next year the City intends to obtain a grant from the DOT to add new shelters at various locations. Please contact Brian McGrath at the Traffic Department (946-8067) and let him know where your bus stops are located, so that he may determine if any of your stops are eligible for construction of a shelter.

Dear Mr. Boemmels:

On behalf of the chief elected officials in this region, it is my pleasure to inform you that at a recent meeting of the Council of Governments, you were appointed to serve as a member of the Regional Workforce Development Board. Since 1983, the Regional Board has administered a variety of etnploytnent and training initiatives that prepare individuals for jobs and which assist employers with training and employee transition. The COG believes that the members of this newly-appointed Regional Board possess the skills and expertise that can assist in the creation of a more effective and efficient workforce development system. -· This is an exciting time for Regional Boards as they begin the transition to new governing legislation, which calls for the streamlining of services, requires increased accountability, and provides universal access for all our citizens. As a board you will be developing strategic alliances and maximizing opportunities for job seekers and en1ployers. Your role will be critical in the development of this enhanced system.

During the next few weeks, Bill Villano, Executive Director of the Regional Board, and his staff, will be in touch with you to schedule an orientation.

Congratulations on your appointment to the Regional Workforce Development Board.

Mr. Robert Solomon, Interim Executive Director Housing Authority of New Haven 360 Orange Street New Haven, Connecticut 06509-1912

Re: Demolition of Riverview, North Front Street

Dear Mr. Solomon,

This letter is submitted in compliance with paragraph 6. B. of HUD Notice PIH 99-19 (HA), that requires a letter from the chief executive officer of the local government regarding the sale or demolition of housing authority property. The purpose of this letter is to demonstrate consultation within the City regarding the above project.

On November 5, 1999, the Housing Authority forwarded the Interim Annual Plan for Demolition and Disposition ofthe Housing Authority ofNew Haven to my office. That Plan included the demolition of the Authority's development known as Riverview on North Front Street. In tum, I referred the Plan to both the Livable City Initiative (which serves as the City of.~ew Haven's Housing Department) and the New Haven City Plan Department. Those departments reviewed the proposal and determined that it was appropriate and in keeping with the existing plans for the effected neighborhood.

The Annual Plan and this specific action were both approved by the Housing Authority's Board of Commissioners after public hearings, meetings with residents, and working with the Resident Advisory Board. In addition, you have informed me that you met with the alderperson of that ward and that no objection was raised to this action.

I therefore certify that the Interim Annual Plan for Demolition and Disposition regarding the demolition of this property is consistent with the Consolidated Plan for the City of New Haven prepared pursuant to 2 CFR Part 91 , and that the City has been consulted regarding the same.

WHO TO ACKNOWLEDGE: • EAST HAVEN MAYOR JOSEPH MATURO • NEW HAVEN WPCA CHAIRMAN MATT NACLERIO • EAST HAVEN WPCA CHAIRMAN RAYMOND FARINA • RAY SMEDBERG

2 BACKGROUND POINTS: • NEW HAVEN WON SUPERIOR COURT JUDGMENT AGAINST HAMDEN IN 1997 FOR $7.2 MILLION, WHICH HAMDEN APPEALED • NEW HAVEN REACHED SETTLEMENT WITH HAMDEN IN MAY 1998; CITY ACCEPTED $5.2 MILLION • NEW HAVEN ALSO RECEIVED $2 MILLION TO SETTLE A PAST DUE AMOUNT OF $2.56 MILLION FROM HAMDEN • THAT SETTLEMENT CALLED FOR THE FORMATION OF A 9- PERSON EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, AND A DIRECT BILLING SYSTEM THAT STARTED IN JULY 9

3 ISSUE POINTS: • AGREEMENT WITH EAST HAVEN MOVES MUNICIPALITIES CLOSER TO SHARED GOAL OF CREATING A REGIONAL WATER AUTHORITY • SETTLEMENT WITH EAST HAVEN WILL RESOLVES ALL PAST DUE AMOUNTS, END LITIGATION, AND ESTABLISH APPROPRIATE BILLING • SETTLEMENT AMOUNT IS $6.55 MILLION, WHICH COVERS PAST DUE AMOUNTS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2001 • FOR FISCAL YEAR 2000-01, EAST HAVEN PAID $398,364 • BY APRILS,EASTHAVENWILLPAY ANOTHER$199,182

4 • REMAINDER OF SETTLEMENT AMOUNT ($5,952,454) WILL BE PAID BY JUNE 30 • WHEN FINAL PAYMENT IS RECEIVED, THE CIVIL ACTION WILL BE WITHDRAWN • AGREEMENT WILL REQUIRE EAST HAVEN TO CARRY OUT A PRE-TREATMENT PROGRAM TO CONTROL QUALITY OF WASTE WATER ENTERING THE SYSTEM, WHICH WILL IMPROVE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE • AGREEMENT ALSO REQUIRES EAST HAVEN TO CONTROL THE AMOUNT OF INFILTRATION AND INFLOW INTO SEWERS, WHICH SHOULD REDUCE WASTEWATER VOLUMES AND ASSOCIATED COSTS

5 • WPCA PUMPS 30 MILLION GALLONS DAILY, 4.5 MILLION (15 PERCENT) OF WHICH IS EAST HAVEN'S

POSSIBLE MESSAGE: ALMOST THREE YEARS AGO, IN MAY 1998, I STOOD WITH THE MAYOR OF HAMDEN TO ANNOUNCE A SETTLEMENT WITH THE TOWN OF HAMDEN REGARDING THE WPCA. THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT MOMENT BECAUSE IT BROUGHT 6 .

AN END TO YEARS OF DISPUTE, AND GAVE US THE ABILITY TO WORK TOGETHER IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR RESIDENTS. TODAY IS JUST AS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE WITH THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT REACHED WITH EAST HAVEN BRINGS US EVEN CLOSER TO OUR SHARED GOAL OF ESTABLISHING A REGIONAL AUTHORITY. THIS IS A TERRIFIC EXAMPLE OF WHAT GOOD CAN COME OF COOPERATION AND COLLABORATION. I WANT TO THANK MATT NACLERIO, RAY FARINA, THE MEMBERS OF THE NEW HAVEN AND EAST HAVEN WPCAS, AND ESPECIALLY MAYOR JOHN MATURO, FOR HIS LEADERSHIP AND WILLINGNESS TO MAKE THIS WORK.

Dear Friends:

It gives me great pleasure to welcome back Film Fest New Haven for its sixth terrific year. New Haven is alive with arts of all kinds and Films Fest adds a wonderful new dimension to our All-American City. Welcome, film buffs!

Now is an exciting time to be an artist and a lover of the arts in New Haven. At City Hall, we recognize that the arts are a great community builder and a powerful economic engine for the City and the region.

Ri ght now, we are working to increase the City's arts offering and provide support for the many talented people who create art in New Haven. We are also seeking to raise awareness of the wealth of arts and culture here. In addition, we are working to create artists' housing in some of the historic buildings.• that grace our downtown . Arts and Culture are an integral part of New Raven's distinct flavor and unique character. Once again, I extend warm welcome to Film Fest and offer my best wishes for its continued success. d~~!:q:o ,. , Mayor
