Cronin presents school budget with 3.5% hike By Ken Liebeskind Citizen staff
The Board of Education presented its budget for the 2017-2018 fiscal year to the Board of Finance on Feb. 4, the traditional Saturday morning meeting that allowed for informality while serious financial issues were discussed. Superintendent of Schools Robert Cronin proposed a budget increase of $1,777,988 which boosts spending by 3.5 percent, to $53,577,651. The hike is much lower than last year’s request, a 6.1 percent increase that was lowered twice by the Board of Finance before a $50.8 million budget with a $1.5 million increase was ultimately passed by the town.
“The one new full-time position is a director of Educational and Informational Technology who will coordinate and integrate technology into our curriculum,” Cronin said. “He or she will

develop a strategic plan for computer and software upgrades and develop staff on software.” Board of Finance member Michael Hallahan asked Cronin how these duties were already being handled and if they could continue to be handled by the current staff. Cronin said a number of staff members oversee technology but they are not experts and “we could do it but we wouldn’t have the same quality.” The budget calls for a parttime strength and conditioning coach at the high school who will work all three seasons during the school year and be paid $18,000, Cronin said. The coach will work with students to prevent injuries.

The addition of these items increases the budget by a little over $110,000, including $90,000 for the full-time position that Cronin said was a little lower than the standard salary.

For the most part, Board of Finance members and first selectman Mike Freda praised Cronin’s presentation, with Hallahan offering a few challenges that may be addressed before the Board of Finance presents its final budget on March 15. Hallahan said, “The budget is much better than last year’s, but taxes will rise by twothirds of a mill with these See Budget, A10
The recent sock drive at Clintonville Elementary School was an incredible success. Guided by first grade teachers Tricia Knapp, Patty McGovern and Katy Nagy, the students planned the event by making posters, fliers and daily announcements to the school community.

It’s tax season, and criminals are on the prowl Connecticut Better Business Bureau recommends taxpayers file their 2016 returns as quickly as possible, to avoid becoming victims of income tax return fraud. For several years, criminals have been using stolen personal information, filing tax returns in other people’s names and collecting their refund checks. “Taxpayers may not know they are the victim of tax fraud until they file their return,” according to Better Business Bureau spokesman Howard Schwartz. “The Internal Revenue Service subsequently tells them the tax return has already been processed and the check sent out.” Criminals gather personal information to commit the crime from the black market, and data breaches.
According to the IRS, tax preparers are increasingly targets of cybercriminals seeking access to client data. Criminals use the stolen information to file fraudulent tax returns. The IRS is urging tax preparers to implement stringent client data protection. Connecticut Better Business Bureau offers tips to reduce your risk of becoming a victim of income tax fraud: File as early as possible - It is a race against time and criminals. Filing can be delayed while taxpayers wait for tax-related documents.

Income tax return theft has become a cottage industry, with dozens of fake returns sent out in a week, and doz-
ens of refund checks arriving at the same address. The IRS and state tax collectors have been reviewing and strengthening their systems to flag that kind of suspicious activity. For example, this filing season, the IRS announced additional “trusted customer” features that would help reduce this crime even more.

Limit on state bonding gets broad support By Mike Savino Record-Journal staff
As fixed costs continue to cripple Connecticut’s budget, lawmakers from both sides are voicing the need for a hard limit on state borrowing. Republicans have been calling for a statutory limit on bonding for some time, but at least 35 House Democrats have also co-sponsored a bill this session. “We need to look at how we do business as a state, and how we provide our services and do our budget in a much different way,” said Rep. Cathy Abercrombie, D-Meriden. The legislature’s nonpartisan Office of Fiscal Analysis reported in its annual Fiscal Accountability Report, released in November, that debt service will grow from 10 percent of the General Fund budget in fiscal year 2015 to 13 percent in fiscal year 2020. It also said borrowing supported by the General Fund has grown by
72 percent since fiscal year 2007.
bond cap. “At present, we work within an existing cap and the confines of the enacted bonding bill each fiscal year,” McClure also said. “If the legislature would like to restrict itself further, we won’t stand in their way.”
All fixed costs combined are now projected to account for half of next year’s budget. The governor, as chairman of the State Bond Commission, already sets a self-imposed “soft cap” for total general obligation bonds, those paid for via the General Fund budget, in a calendar year. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said after Wednesday’s meeting, the first of the year, that he would maintain the $2.7 billion cap he set last year. Sen. Joe Markley, R-Southington, said the General Assembly needs to set a firmer amount. “These kinds of caps are what we’re forced to do because people aren’t behaving responsibly,” he said. Republicans have proposed bond caps annually, even pitching them as amendments to other bills to try to force votes, but House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz, D-Berlin, said in a statement his caucus also wants to ensure “tax dollars are spent as

efficiently as possible.”
said.
“By limiting future bonding to projects that encourage economic development or educational outcomes, taxpayers will benefit for years to come and our economy will continue to grow,” he
Chris McClure, a spokesman for Malloy’s budget office, said the governor looks forward to “working with leadership to form a workable solution” if lawmakers are intent on passing a
Malloy has routinely responded to calls for a bond cap by saying lawmakers send too many projects to the commission, and is especially critical of Republicans who also celebrate projects that receive funding. Senate Republican Leader Len Fasano, R-North Haven, said the criticism isn’t fair, though, because lawmakers are simply advocating for their projects when including them in the bonding package, and Malloy could authorize borrowing for fewer projects. msavino@record-journal.com 203-317-2266 Twitter: @reporter_savino

COMMENTARY
It’s tax season; pay attention By Sally Buemi
I was just thinking about the town budget. In my opinion, the budget is the highlight issue for any municipality. The budget determines what we do and how we do it. It also determines the amount of property taxes you pay, and with rising taxes in recent years, I know the mill rate is a top concern for many residents. Well, the budget season for next year (fiscal year 17/18) is well underway. I urge all citizens to pay close attention. On Jan. 18, the Board of Finance held its first of a series of workshops with the various town departments. Public Works was up first. Each department comes before the BOF to make its case for how much money is needed for the next fiscal year. The
education workshop, held on Feb. 4, is always a centerpiece. (Oh, by the way, school enrollment is down again.) These workshops will all be televised on NHTV, so try to watch them. You can also view them online at the town website. And if you really care about this budget stuff, try to read about what is happening in nearby towns for comparison.
culminates with the referendum on May 16 where citizens will vote to accept or reject the proposed budget. In principle, all this is truly democracy at its finest. I will do my best to keep you informed every step of the way.

have heard or read about a reduction this fiscal year in our State Education Cost Sharing grant. For this current year, we budgeted for $3.3 million from ECS. We were told around August that the ECS grant would be $4 million. A nice surprise. But ultimately it was reduced to only $3.8 million. Well folks, don’t panic; the $3.8 million is still $500,000 higher than the $3.3 million we anticipated and budgeted for last spring.

The commission can hold hearings regarding streets it believes need restrictions. Spader said, “The commission has the authority to consider the ordinance around town, but the primary appeals will come from residents.” Spader said Collett Street, which the ordinance was originally created for, has dealt with obstruction from cars from Melillo Motors, which is located on Whitney Avenue at the corner of Collett. “They use all the parking they have for cars they’re selling, so employees and customers use spaces on Collett,” he said. First selectman Mike Freda said, “Residents of Collett Street have suffered from this for well over 30 years. I support them because it’s become obtrusive in their daily lives.”

the police commission, said the hearings will be held in the police department briefing room or the Mildred Wakely Recreation Center. “The hearings will be open to the public and we’ll take testimony from people in the neighborhood to see if parking restrictions are needed,” he said.
Police chief Thomas McLoughlin said businesses should follow the example of Candid Associates, which owns commercial buildings on Washington Avenue. “In the early 1980s, side streets off Washington Ave., including George, Lincoln and Monroe, were obstructed by commercial traffic. And they were good corporate neighbors who secured additional parking at their own expense so anyone coming to the office buildings won’t park on the side streets. The problem resolved itself,” the chief said. “But whenever commercial development abuts a neighborhood it’s a potential issue.”

YOUR MONEY
Make the most of your tax refund However, if you refrain from spending your refund impulsively, the money presents an opportunity to treat yourself to additional financial security. Here are five ways to extend the benefits of any refund you receive this year or in the future:
By Jeff Jolly
More than 110 million Americans collected a tax refund – worth an average of just under $3,000 – after filing their 2015 tax returns, according to statistics released by the Internal Revenue Service. If you’re one of the many Americans who expect to receive a financial windfall this year, what do you plan to do with the money? It’s tempting to treat yourself to a new TV or a pricey vacation.
1. Give your retirement savings a boost While your refund may not seem like a large sum compared to the amount you need to live the life you want in retirement, every dollar you put aside matters. Keep in mind that the money will CROSSWORD ANSWER
SUDOKU ANSWER
have a chance to grow, particularly if you are several years or even decades from retirement. This year, think about using your refund to “max out” your contributions to an Individual Retirement Account. Individuals age 50 or older can set aside $6,500 per year in an IRA while those under 50 can save up to $5,500 annually. You may be able to deduct your IRA contributions if you qualify, which may help reduce your 2017 tax bill. You can also put your refund to work in a Roth IRA, potentially qualifying you for tax-free withdrawals in retirement. 2. Save for another longterm goal
If you are saving money for a down payment on a home, a home improvement, or higher education needs, your refund can make a big difference. Consider using your tax refund to establish a separate savings account, or invest the money in its own investment vehicle. Keeping your goal-specific savings separate from your day-to-day accounts will help you focus on reaching the goal because you’ll be less tempted to spend the money elsewhere. 3. Expand your “rainy day fund” A basic rule of thumb is for you to have at least three to six months of income set aside in an emergency fund. 58238-01

If you have any credit card debt, consider first using your refund to reduce this costly form of borrowing. After that debt is eliminated, you may want to focus on tackling any outstanding student loan balances. If you’re fortunate enough to have your consumer debts paid off, think about making an additional mortgage payment. Many Americans make it a goal to pay off their home before they retire, and several lump sum payments can help make this goal more attainable for you.
If you tend to receive a sizable tax refund each year, a better approach may be to reduce the tax withheld from your paycheck. Rather than giving the IRS a “tax-free loan” while you wait for a big refund, keeping the money may make more sense for you. Apply the extra cash you’ll receive in each paycheck toward your goals, such as retirement or a child’s education. Adjusting your withholding may affect your tax situation, so talk to your tax advisor before making a change. You want to use your refund where it will have the greatest positive impact on your financial situation. If you need help weighing competing priorities, talk with a financial professional who can give you an objective perspective on how to best divvy up your refund.

This is money that should be left in cash (such as a savings account or a money market fund) in the event an unexpected financial need occurs. A tax refund is a great way to bolster your rainy day fund if it’s lacking.

Scotty’s Breakfast evicted; didn’t pay rent Neil Longobardi, the state marshal for New Haven County, seized Scotty’s Breakfast on Washington Avenue on Saturday, Jan. 21 for non-payment of rent. The restaurant has been closed since. Scott Vincent, owner of the restaurant, remains hopeful that Scotty’s will reopen this spring in a new location in North Haven. Scotty’s Breakfast has been in North Haven for more than 25 years, the first 22 on Broadway and the last three on Washington Avenue. Vincent said he was operat-
According to court records, the original lease was modified on July 25, 2013 that made Vincent the subtenant. His rent was $2,608.09 per month. Vincent said, “It was a lousy deal.” Bill Foreman, the owner of Ted’s Restaurant, said Vincent paid only a small amount of the total rent that was owed. “He also agreed to purchase equipment from us, and it wasn’t paid for as well,” Foreman said. Ted’s Restaurant, which has locations in Meriden and Cromwell, no longer holds
Longobardi said Scotty’s Breakfast wasn’t operating when he presented the eviction notice on Jan. 21. “They knew I was coming and were
moving stuff out and could no longer operate the business unless they came up with an agreement with the property owner,” he said.

LEGAL NOTICE TOWN OF NORTH HAVEN The following is Section 151-14 of the Parking Ordinance at Chapter 151 of the Ordinances of the Town of North Haven approved and adopted by the January 30, 2017 Special Town Meeting. The Section will take effect fifteen (15) days after this publication. § 151-14.
Restricted residential parking zones (RRPZ Ordinance).
A. Statement of purpose. Pursuant to Section 14-307 of the Connecticut General Statutes and Section 151-1 of these Ordinances, the Board of Police Commissioners (“Board”) as the Traffic Authority for the Town of North Haven, Connecticut (“Town”) hereby enacts the Restricted Residential Parking Zone Ordinance. The purpose of the Ordinance is to establish a procedure of general municipal application for the creation of restricted residential parking zones in order that the Board may regulate on-street parking areas to limit on-street parking to residents of a given neighborhood and to provide for the imposition of a fine or other penalty as provided herein for the violation of the rules and regulations adopted by the Board for a particular restricted residential parking zone. B. Procedure for creating a restricted residential parking zone. Town residents whose abode fronts on or has egress on any public street may petition the Board to create a restricted residential parking zone (“RRPZ”) for on-street parking in accordance with this Section. Each property address on both sides of the street or a portion thereof proposed to be included in the RRPZ shall be counted as one (1) RRPZ address for the purposes of petitioning the Board. A property address shall mean each numerical street address shown in the records of the Assessor for the Town corresponding to lots having frontage on the street or a portion thereof to be included in each proposed RRPZ. Additional mailing addresses (e.g., unit numbers, apartment numbers, and the like) are not recognized as a property address for the purposes of petitioning the Board unless designated as a separate property address in the Assessor’s records. A petition must be submitted in the format required by the Board and contain the signatures of motor vehicle registrants corresponding to no fewer than seventy percent (70%) of the eligible RRPZ addresses along both sides of the street or a portion thereof to be so included in the proposed RRPZ. The Office of the Police Chief (“Police Chief”) shall act as the agent of the Board for the receipt of any such petition. The Board shall commence a public hearing within thirty-five (35) days of receipt of a petition to take testimony and evidence in accordance with this Section. The receipt of a petition shall be deemed to be the day of the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board following the day of submission to the Board’s agent or thirty-five (35) days after its submission to the Board’s agent, whichever is sooner. The Police Chief may also propose an RRPZ by recommendation to the Board without need for a petition. Upon receipt of such recommendation at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board, the Board shall commence a public hearing within thirty-five (35) days thereof to take testimony and evidence in accordance with this Section, following the same procedure as required for petition-initiated proposals. C.
Public hearing requirement and considerations for decision.
Each proposed RRPZ, whether proposed by petition of motor vehicle registrants residing in the RRPZ or by recommendation of the Police Chief, shall be considered at a public hearing conducted by the Board and noticed by the Town by posting of a notice of the scheduled public hearing in the Town Clerk’s Office and on the Town’s website and by first-class mailing to property owners within the proposed RRPZ and owners of neighboring property within fifty (50) feet of the proposed RRPZ as identified by the Assessor’s records at least ten (10) days before the date of the scheduled public hearing. The public hearing shall address the particular reason(s) for the submission of the petition or recommendation for the proposed RRPZ and the potential rules and regulations or restrictions to be imposed on on-street parking by residents and non-residents in the proposed RRPZ that the Board may adopt including, but not limited to consideration of the following factors: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9)
time of day and duration of parking restrictions; weekday versus weekend restrictions; seasonal restrictions; the number of parking permits to be issued and on what basis (dependent upon the density of the neighborhood, traffic, width of streets, presence of sidewalks, and the number of motor vehicles that can be safely accommodated on all public streets included in the proposed RRPZ), including any conditions which must be met for renewal; whether temporary, conditional, or visitor permits will be made available and on what basis, including any conditions which must be met for renewal; what unique signage is necessary (e.g., listing hours or particular restrictions on parking); special events and holidays; date for establishment of RRPZ and the initial term of restrictions; and provisions for renewal of the RRPZ.
The Public Hearing shall be completed within thirty-five (35) days unless the Board votes to continue the hearing for an additional thirty-five (35) days. A decision on the proposed RRPZ shall be rendered by the Board within thirty-five (35) days after the completion of said Public Hearing. If it is the decision of the Board to approve the proposed RRPZ, or a smaller RRPZ, thereby creating same, then the Board shall establish the specific rules and regulations/restrictions on on-street parking within the RRPZ giving due consideration to the aforementioned factors and any others that the Board deems appropriate. Nothing in this Section shall require the Board to approve any proposed RRPZ. Furthermore, the Board shall have sole discretion on the specific rules and regulations/ restrictions on on-street parking to be imposed in a RRPZ if approved, except as otherwise provided in this Section. D. Restricted residential parking zone limited to that proposed. The Board may establish a RRPZ which is smaller in size than that which was proposed by the petition or recommendation but may not include any public streets or any portions thereof that were not included in the proposed RRPZ. E. Publication of decision. Notice of the decision of the Board creating a RRPZ shall be published in a newspaper having a general circulation in the Town within fifteen (15) days of the date of the Board’s decision. The published Notice shall include the specific rules and regulations/restrictions on on-street parking within the RRPZ as established by the Board. F. Initial term of restrictions and renewal. The length of the initial term of restrictions shall run to December 31 following the creation of a RRPZ unless it is determined by the Board at the time of approval of the RRPZ that the initial term of restrictions shall be extended for a longer period. Thereafter, upon a majority vote of the Board, the RRPZ shall be renewed for the term voted upon. When considering and deciding upon the renewal of a RRPZ, the Board may also vote to amend the specific rules and regulations/restrictions on on-street parking previously established for the RRPZ. When acting upon the renewal of a RRPZ, the Board shall not expand an RRPZ without following the procedures for creating a new RRPZ in this Section. 60768

60768 Continued G. Administration by the Police Chief or his/her designee(s). The Police Chief or his/her designee(s) shall provide for and process uniform application forms for parking permits for a RRPZ (“RRPZ parking permits”), issue and renew RRPZ parking permits, provide vehicle decals or other identification tags, and adopt any other policies or procedures designed to carry out and enforce this Section. H. Issuance of RRPZ parking permits generally. RRPZ parking permits shall only issue to motor vehicle registrants who own or lease a motor vehicle(s) registered to a residential address in the RRPZ, unless the specific rules and regulations established for a RRPZ by the Board allow the issuance of temporary, conditional, or visitor parking permits. The application for RRPZ parking permits shall require that the individual applicant/motor vehicle registrant: (1) produce a copy of his/her motor vehicle registration(s) for the motor vehicle(s) owned or leased by the applicant/motor vehicle registrant which is/are registered to a residential address in the RRPZ; (2) present a photo identification; (3) present proof of residency through production of a bill/invoice or a lease; and (4) the individual applicant seeking the parking permit must sign the application under penalty of false statement that all of the representations made in the application are true and accurate, including that: (a) he/she is a resident within the RRPZ; (b) he/she does not owe the Town any motor vehicles taxes, except for those for the current year not yet due, on the motor vehicle(s) for which a parking permit(s) is/are being sought or any other motor vehicles; and (c) he/she does not owe the Town any parking tickets/fines on the motor vehicle(s) for which a parking permit(s) is/are being sought or any other motor vehicles. If there are motor vehicle taxes (except those for current year not yet due) or parking tickets/fines owed to the Town on the motor vehicle(s) for which a parking permit(s) is/are being sought or on any other motor vehicles owned or leased or previously owned or leased by the individual applicant, then parking permits shall not issue to said individual applicant until all motor vehicle taxes and/or parking tickets/fines which are in arrears are paid in full, including all fees, charges, and interest that may be due to the Town. Nothing in this Section shall require the issuance of a parking permit. As previously provided in subsection C(4) herein, the number of parking permits to be issued in a RRPZ, and on what basis, shall be determined by the Board and shall be dependent upon the density of the neighborhood, traffic, width of streets, presence of sidewalks, and the number of motor vehicles that can be safely accommodated on all public streets included in the RRPZ. With respect to temporary, conditional, and/or visitor parking permits that may issue related to a particular RRPZ, as provided in subsection C(5) above, the Board will determine whether such permits shall issue and on what basis. In the event that non-residents are allowed by the Board to seek a temporary, conditional, and/or visitor parking permit, the nonresident must comply with all conditions established by the Board for the issuance of such permits, which may include but not be limited to (1) possession of a valid motor vehicle registration for the motor vehicle for which a permit is sought; (2) designation of an address within the RRPZ at which he/she seeks on-street parking and disclosure of the reasons therefore (e.g., visiting resident, property maintenance by non-resident landlord, nonresident providing care for elderly or invalid resident, etc.); (3) no parking tickets are owed to the Town or are outstanding with respect to the particular motor vehicle for which a temporary, conditional, and/or visitor parking permit is sought or with respect to its owner or lessee; and (4) the person seeking the parking permit signs the application under penalty of false statement that all of the representations made in the application are true and accurate. I.
Expiration of RRPZ parking permits.
Any parking permit, including any temporary, conditional, or visitor parking permit, issued by the Police Chief or his/her designee(s) pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall become null and void if the conditions required for issuance are no longer maintained or if the RRPZ is no longer in effect (e.g., if its term has expired and it has not been renewed by the Board). J. Fee schedule. Upon the recommendation of the Police Chief or his/her designee, the Board may, from time to time, propose to the Board of Selectmen and the Town Meeting, the adoption of a fee schedule for the issuance of parking permits under this Section. K. Violation of ordinance and penalty. No motor vehicle shall be parked in a RRPZ in violation of the specific rules and regulations/restrictions on on-street parking as established by the Board for that RRPZ. The penalty for the first violation may be a written warning. For each subsequent violation, the penalty shall be fifty dollars ($50.00) per violation. L. Suspension of restrictions. The Police Chief or his/her designee may suspend the specific rules and regulations/restrictions on on-street parking established by the Board for a particular RRPZ for any reason necessary for public safety or welfare. Such suspension may be effectuated by covering the RRPZ signage, placing placards, or using any other means reasonably designed to inform residents or visitors of the suspension. In addition, the Police Chief or his/her designee is authorized to issue a temporary forty-eight (48) hour parking permit to a resident or non-resident if, in his/her discretion, he/she finds reasonable cause exists to issue the permit to prevent an undue hardship. The Board shall be advised of all suspensions and the issuance of any temporary permits pursuant to this subsection. Appliances AFFORDABLE - Used Dryers, washers, fridges, stoves, repairs available.
