History of the Sixth Taxing District |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Rowayton is a part of Norwalk,
which was purchased from the Siwanoy Indians about 1651. Within two decades,
property deeds in the district were referring to the "Rowayton Area" of Norwalk,
although the spelling varied. In the period 1860-90, Rowayton was an oystering
center.
The Sixth Taxing District is a State-chartered municipal corporation
which encompasses the area once an independent municipality, Rowayton.
It was formed when Rowayton became a part of the City of Norwalk in the
1920. The district was created in 1921 by a special act of Connecticut
Legislature to permit residents to provide themselves certain services
which they were unable to obtain from the City of Norwalk.
Method
The Sixth District's affairs are governed by a three member Commission. Each
is elected to a six-year term. Commissioners are placed on the ballot for
election by the process identified in the Norwalk City Charter, typically
by nomination by the registered political parties. As a commission, at least
one member of the Commission must be of a different political party affiliation.
The Commission meets monthly on the second Wednesday evening of each month,
at 8:00 p.m. in the Community Center, located on Highland Avenue in Rowayton,
which also houses the Rowayton Library. The public is welcome at any meeting.
Any elector of the Sixth District can request that an item be placed on the
Agenda of a meeting by contacting the District Clerk or one of the Commissioners
at least 10 days before the meeting. Items brought to the floor of the meeting
which are not on the Agenda published in advance of the meeting may not be
capable of Commission action at the meeting.
The Commission establishes a proposed budget for the fiscal year (running
from July 1 to June 30) at its January meeting, and this is presented to
the Annual Meeting of the electors of the District each March.
Functions
Over the years, the Sixth Taxing District has assumed responsibilities
to provide street lighting, garbage collection, fire service, library services,
and the management of community properties, including Bayley Beach, Pinkney
Park, the Arts Center and the Community Center. Many of these activities
are further operated by volunteer organizations, such as the Rowayton Volunteer
Fire Department and the Rowayton Library Board.
These activities are funded by revenues to the District and taxation, which
are added to and incorporated in the municipal tax bill of the City of Norwalk.
Because of the volunteer management of the Library, Fire Department and Art
Center, these services are provided at a significantly lower cost than typical
public financing. Garbage collection is performed under a contract with an
out-sourced provider, also at a lower than typical cost for a public-funded
function.
