ANSONIA — Mayor David Cassetti is scheduled to present his budget during a public meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday (April 7).
The mayor will be presenting the budget during a joint meeting of the Board of Aldermen and the Board of Apportionment and Taxation, according to an agenda sent to The Valley Indy by the finance department.
The meeting will be held on Zoom.
Meeting ID: 852 4198 6876
Passcode: 234192
Mayor Cassetti used the Code Red messaging system on Feb. 22 and April 5 to promote his budget.
“I want to let residents know that I am proposing a city budget that will keep our mill rate STABLE while spending $1 million LESS than the year before I first took office. Meanwhile, we are fully funding our schools and other vital city services. Public hearings will be scheduled soon, and I look forward to hearing YOUR thoughts,” the mayor said in the April 5 message.
However, no copies of the budget were provided to the public in advance of the meeting.
Kurt Miller, the city’s Chief Financial Officer, said copies would be made available to the public on the City of Ansonia website starting at 7 p.m.
Miller has been providing monthly updates to the city’s tax board, and participated in a Valley Indy podcast about Ansonia finances that was published Feb. 28. The podcast is embedded at the bottom of this article.
