BUDGET FUNCTION
The Registrars of Voters are responsible for the administration of the election process, the annual canvas and the
aintenance of the town’s voter database.
The annual canvas of electors is completed each year from January to May as required by law. An inactive list of
voters is generated naming those voters who have not responded to the annual canvas. Periodically, we do a non-
voting canvas to keep our records as accurate as possible.
The registrars attend Registrars of Voters Association of Connecticut spring and fall conferences where we receive
training and obtain credits towards our required continuing education. Our deputies attend one day so they can learn
procedures, as well. We also attend most monthly New London County ROVAC meetings held in Montville and all
necessary town meetings.
Before every election, we hire and train thirty to fifty poll workers depending on the needs of that year’s election. Our
elections run in a two and four year cycle and our budgets are adjusted based on this cycle.
We register voters in person at our office, online through the CT Voter Registration System and online through the
DMV.
Looking ahead, we are planning to add a customer service counter to our office, which was recommended to us by a
security assessment done 1-2 years ago.
The current number of registered voters in the town of Waterford as of 11/30/2024 is 15,135.
Our office hours are Monday through Friday 9:30 to 12:30. Office hours increase during the busy election months as
needed.

We also will be receiving new tabulator voting machines this year from the state from a different
vendor. The annual maintenance on the new machines increased $2,790.
The third issue is that we will be getting a new Voter Registration System, which will require training

BUDGET FUNCTION
The Board of Assessment Appeals is an official municipal agency, created by Connecticut state
taw that is designed to serve as an appeal body for taxpayers who wish to challenge the
valuation of their property or the denial of an exemption. The Board of Appeals is typically
comprised of three elected members who meet twice annually to hear taxpayer appeals.
Appellants may appear before the Board to appeal their current Grand List valuations for real
estate, personal property or motor vehicles in the month of March and may also appear in
September when the Board meets exclusively to review motor vehicle appeals.
Assessment staff provides technical support during the hearing and deliberation process and
directs complex issues and questions to the Assessor for clarification to the Board. All BAA
members receive a fixed stipend for their service on the board and assisting staff are
compensated at the appropriate overtime rate and are scheduled based on the number of
appeals the Board receives.

$100 per year per member except during revaluations. Clerical costs are based on the
estimated number of appeals that the board hears in a typical non-revaluation year. The chart
below outlines the number of appeals heard each year and the required clerical hours to
facilitate the hearing process. FY26 personnel costs are calculated assuming 40 total appeals
with 20 hours of clerical time provided by the Assessor’s staff at an overtime rate. The

W, Scott noted for the record that Exhibit 7 should state that the photographs taken by M.
FitzGerald were taken on 7/15/24, not 5/15/24.
W. Scott reviewed Exhibit 19 (Activity Log) as well as the exhibits showing photos of the
camper on the property. He noted that Section 3.9.4 of the Zoning Regulations states that a
camper is not allowed on a property without there being a principal structure on the property.
Section 3.20.3 of the Zoning Regulations allows the Zoning Official to issue a temporary Zoning
Compliance Permit for the placement of d manufactured home or trailer on a property only in the
circumstance where a building permit has been issued for the construction of the property owners
own dwelling; There is currently no principal structure on the property, and there is no building
permit in place for the construction of a new home. The property owner has applied for a
building permit for a new home; however, it has not been approved because the submittal did not
meet the zoning regulations.
Alex Mironovas addressed the Board, and stated that a permit for a new home on the site had
been issued, but he does not know if it is still valid.
Attorney Avena asked Mr. Mironovas if'a permit for the dock has been issued by DEEP. A.
Mironovas replied that the original owner received a permit for the dock. It had expired and he is
in communication with the DEEP to get a new permit.

asked if he had a current building permit. A. Mironovas replied that the regulation does not say
the permit has to’be valid.
Attorney Avena asked if A. Mironovas was doing work under the old permit. A. Mironovas
replied that he is doing landscaping on the site. Attorney Avena referred to_an email sent tothe
Zoning Official (Exhibit 9) where A. Mironovas asked the Zoning Official for an exception to
the regulations and issue a zoning permit for the trailer. A. Mironovas again said that the
regitlations don’t say that the permit needs to be valid.
Chaitwoman Gonyo stated that there is a reason rules are put in place, and noted that it has been
established that the RV is on the site, and it has also been established that a building permit has
not been issued for the property.
Attorney Avena submitted into the record as Exhibit 21 a Warranty Deed for the property.
A. Darling stated the she looked at the property and there are weeds all over and that it does not
appear that there is any landscaping work being done as Mr. Mironovas has previously stated.
J. Morgan stated that the RV should just be moved.
W. Scott stated that the Order to Discontinue is also for the installation of the dock. He referred
to Exhibit 17 in which DEEP stated that there is not a valid permit for the dock.

fb FISCAL YEAR 2026 BU
WATERFORD TAX COLLECTOR
Functional Description of the Duties of the Tax Office
The purpose of the Tax Office is to bill and collect municipal real estate, business personal property, and motor vehicle taxes;
conform to all state statutes for collection and reporting, as well as to provide information regarding taxes to taxpayers and
various agencies upon demand. The office Is responsible for the accuracy and legality of all steps in the billing, adjustment,
collaction, deposit, and reporting process.
The Grand List 2023 levy totaled $100,101,709.99, an increase of $4,151,949.25 or 4.33% compared to the GL 2022 levy. As of
the end of FY 2024, the tax office had achieved the highest overall collection rate as follows:
Real Estate: 100.10%
Personal Property: 99.89%
Motor Vehicle: 97.61%
Motor Vehicle Supplemental: 94.09%
Totat Collection Rate: 99,89%
State statutes govern the tax collection process almost entirely. Tax bill preparation and delivery, the collection calendar,
collection procedures, interest rates, fees, and collection tools specified in the statutes, such as:
412-130 Failure to send or receive bill; Failure to send out or receive any such bill or statement shall not invalidate the tax
12-146 No tax installment shall be construed to be delinquent... if...the envelope containing such tax...bears a postmark
showing a date within the time allowed by statute..
12-146 If any tax due...is not paid in full...the whole or such part as is unpaid...shall be subject to interest from the due date of
such delinquent installment.
There is no provision in the statutes for a tax collector to waive interest except for a taxpayer who has received
compensation under Chapter 968 as a crime victim.
The majority of the required billing information comes from the Assessor's Office, often in conjunction with the Connecticut
Department of Motor Vehicles. The daily work necessitates a close working relationship with those offices as well as the Town
Clerk, Finance Department, Town Treasurer, and various other agencies. The 2023 levy generated 31,504 tax bills: 9,572 reat
estate, 1,240 personal property, and 20,692 motor vehicle bills.
A Look Ahead:
The Tax Office has no specific plans for capital requests or purchases and we are currently at a minimal staffing level.
We continue to investigate options that will reduce overhead costs for the Town and for the taxpayers including, but not limited
to, the most cost-efficient online payment opportunities and the new collection agency with which we have contracted.

Personnel Cost: $182,361 Backup Page: 7
This is a decrease of $9,705 (-5.05%) from last year’s approved budget.

the NUMP salary increase at a value of 41.25%.
L1 51210 Clerical/Technical: $78,596
This is a decrease of $10,137 (-11.42%). The decrease is due to the retirement of the
previous full-time clerk. The salary for the Tax Office’s full-time Accounts Receivabie Clerk is
determined by a negotiated contract between the Town and Local 1303-037. The increase of
the full-time clerk is 5.17% and the increase of the non-union part-time clerk is 4.655%
The Town of Waterford has set the Seasonai Clerk wage scale at $17.00 as of
7/1/2025; the Connecticut minimum wage will be $16.35 effective 1/1/2025.

recommended budget amount from the Finance Department. There are 23 days necessary

budget, this would limit the position to only 4 hour per day as opposed to the historical 5-hour
day.

State statute 12-145 requires publication of tax notices six times per year in a local
newspaper: three times for each of the collection months. Rates are for publication in the
Waterford Times. | have been in contact with The Day legal ad department and they are
stating that the price should remain “close” to this year’s price of $109.11, therefore | am
budgeting a 6% increase to $115.00 per ad. (Backup: Pages 15-16)
