The Derby Board of Apportionment and Taxation is hosting a public hearing 6:30 p.m. tonight (Tuesday, May 23, 2017) in Derby City Hall on the preliminary 2017 – 2018 budget.
The mill rate will remain flat, according to The New Haven Register.
The following entry compares the budget approved last year (now) to the preliminary budget (next year) under consideration by Derby BOAT.
Then there’s a separate document embedded at the bottom of the article with another column — the amount Derby actually spent so far in this fiscal year, which differs from the bottom-line amount the city approved last year at this time.
This information is based on information provided by BOAT and was shared with city officials prior to publishing in order to ensure accuracy.
Please note the tax board makes changes to the city budget as the year progresses, but this chart compares the budget they voted to approve last year with the spending plan they are currently scheduled to endorse.
