Explanation
The bill allows for the establishment of a special taxing district in
West Haven. There is a minimal, one-time cost to the City of West
Haven associated with holding any public meetings or referenda, and
with publishing associated public notices necessary to establish the
district.
The bill allows the district to issue revenue bonds to support its
duties. This has no impact to the city or the state, as the language
specifies that such revenue bonds are not the responsibility of the City
of West Haven or the State of Connecticut.
Depending on the extent of services provided by the district, there
could be a savings to West Haven as the costs of providing public
services shifts from the City to the District.
House "A" allows the City of West Haven to enter into agreements
with the special taxing district established by the underlying bill. Any 2021HB-06102-R02-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2
impact to the City would depend on the provisions of any such
agreement.
Senate "A" makes procedural changes regarding the issuance of
bonds by the special taxing district. This has no fiscal impact.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to revenue or cost-sharing agreements
made between the special taxing district and the City of West Haven.
