Planning Commission Chairwoman Frances DiMeglio concludes the Commission’s recent capital budget decision-making session.
NORWALK, Conn. Norwalk Planning Commissioners have pressured Mayor Harry Rilling to spend more capital budget dollars on Norwalk Public Schools than his Chief Financial Officer thinks wise.
The Planning Commission’s recommended capital budget is nearly $3 million higher than the austere recommendation from CFO Henry Dachowitz, a 10% increase would allow Rilling to fund the Silvermine Elementary School driveway and school bathroom renovations in the coming year. It would also give the Norwalk Public Library $38,000 of the $75,000 it requested, when Dachowitz had snubbed the library’s request entirely. And work on the Norwalk River Valley Trail could continue. More importantly, there would be funding for stormwater management in the coming budget.
