hearings and Board actions. The cost of each advertisement depends on the complexity of the
actual applications. Average advertising costs for individual applications in the last five years
ranged from $215 to over $600. Total annual advertising costs can vary significantly from year
to year based on the number of applications the ZBA receives.

POSTAGE LINE 10115-52020 $ 160 Requested
AIL ZBA public hearing notices and actions are sent via certified mail to the applicants. Property
owners and agents also receive these mailings. Each certified letter costs approximately $6.75.
The department has seen an increase in ZBA applications over the last several years. $160. 00 is
requested, which matches the FY23 funding request.
DUES, CONFERENCES, EDUCATION LINE 10115-52050 $ 400 Requested
Current and new ABA members benefit from several educational opportunities throughout the
fiscal year. The State of Connecticut offers a training seminar specifically targeted to ZBA
members that is held annually in the spring. The CT Association of Zoning Enforcement Officers
(CAZEO) hosts monthly meetings that address relevant topics and current issues in zoning
practice. The annual CT Bar Association conference also typically includes sessions geared
toward zoning practice and current legal matters. Access to these training opportunities helps
ZBA members at all states of their service to the Town to maintain an understanding of relevant
zoning issues. $400 is requested in FY24.
OFFICE SUPPLIES LINE 10115-53010 $50 Requested
The ZBA historically maintains $50 in this line to pay for items that are not supplied by the
Planning Department or Finance Office. Board member name plates and updated Zoning
Regulation binders are funded through this line.
