SHELTON City leaders are once again offering neighboring Derby a helping hand.
The city will be handling tax collector and building department services for the city of Derby beginning as soon as next month. The Board of Aldermen approved the plans earlier this month moves that Mayor Mark Lauretti said will have no impact on city residents but offer needed assistance to Derby.
“It doesn’t hurt us, and it helps them out,” Lauretti said about the latest shared service agreement with Derby. “Derby is trying to save money and cut costs … I applaud that.”

SHELTON The city is responsible for student transportation at a set cost of $3.15 million to be covered by the Board of Education.
But are schools getting the right bang for the buck?
That’s the question asked recently by Democrat Board of Apportionment and Taxation members at its recent workshop examining Mayor Mark Lauretti’s proposed 2021-22 budget.
His proposed $128.2 million spending plan is a $43,728 increase from the present year.
“The city has created a department … but they do not have detailed line items reflected in the budget,” A&T member Michelle Laubin said at the workshop. “That’s not OK.”

SHELTON The Board of Aldermen said it hopes to add some $1.2 million to the education budget for the coming fiscal year.
Board of Aldermen President John Anglace Jr. said during his board’s first budget workshop earlier this week that the additional money had been requested by the Board of Education to cover contractual obligations.
“What we’ve got to do is find a way to provide (the Board of Education) with $1,179,000,” Anglace said.
Mayor Mark Lauretti “acknowledged in his budget address that the Board of Aldermen must put more money in the Board of Education budget,” Anglace added. “We’re all starting on the same page here.”
