Elicker, Mayor July 01, 2020 Dear New Haven Residents, After countless hours of hard work and determination, I present to you the City of New Haven’s Budget for Fiscal Year 2020-2021. The budget is a reflection of tough financial decisions precipitated by the City’s increasing financial obligations. The budget is also a reflection of our values as a city and the challenges we face balancing the tax burden with providing services to residents – many of whom are struggling in our City. What is important is how this budget starts to set us on the right path to rectifying some of the long-term problems that we have avoided addressing for many, many years. There are no big one-time revenues, like large property sales, to close a budget hole; there is no debt refinancing that pushes payments into future years, and there are no hopeful “revenue initiative” line items. For decades, we have passed our debt along to future generations—we can no longer afford, nor rightly choose, to do so. But this means that this budget is a tough one. We have implemented dramatic cuts to our workforce through elimination or defunding approximately 100 vacant positions, eliminating programs, and raising taxes by 2.09%. Had we not made these significant cuts, we could be facing a 13% tax increase to cover the nearly $50 million budget gap that we faced this year. My team and I have gone to great lengths to reduce expenditures without dramatically impacting services or laying off municipal employees. We worked to strike the right balance between a government that can function effectively and reflects our core values, with as small a tax increase as possible to encourage growth and support our residents. I am sure not everyone will agree with the decisions we made. Nevertheless, our team compiled this budget with our utmost efforts and candor. While this budget points us in the right direction, our systemic financial challenges will continue to burden us in the coming years. We will not be able to cut or tax our way out of this problem. Our partners must contribute in a meaningful way. You elected me to make difficult decisions in challenging times, and with this budget, I believe I have done just that. While our financial outlook may be challenging, we will not let these challenges define us. New Haven is more and more a place where great opportunity is on the horizon. I look forward to the coming years as we advance toward a city where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Sincerely, Justin Elicker Mayor 165 Church Street, New Haven, 06510 (203) 946-4933 CITY OF NEW HAVEN ADMINISTRATOR'S LISTING DEPARTMENT DEPARTMENT HEAD PHONE ASSESSOR'S OFFICE ALEXZANDER D.
