Any provision of this subdivision to the contrary notwithstanding, any such deficiency in the capital reserve fund so certified by the treasurer or other such financial officer of the municipality shall be satisfied first from the revenues of the development property specifically pledged to the payment of bonds or notes secured by such capital reserve fund, and no holder of any such bond or note may bring any action, suit or proceeding, in law or equity, nor compel by mandamus or injunction the exercise of the taxing power of the municipality, or forfeiture of its property, unless and until all remedies with respect to such pledged revenues have been exhausted. The substance and extent of such covenant and agreement shall be plainly stated on the face of each note and bond to which it is applicable. All amounts paid over from the general fund of the municipality as provided in this subdivision shall, subject to the rights of the holders of any notes or bonds of the municipality theretofore or thereafter issued, be repaid to the general fund from (A) moneys in a capital reserve fund in excess of the maximum capital reserve fund requirement, (B) any revenues not required for any other of the purposes of this chapter and (C) proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the development property acquired from the proceeds of bonds and notes secured by such capital reserve fund.

If, within thirty days of such publication, five per cent of the electors of such municipality, who are registered as electors on the last completed, revised registry list of such municipality, file with the clerk of such municipality a petition requesting a referendum with respect to such resolution, the question of approval of such resolution shall be submitted to the electors of such municipality at a special election called for such purpose to be held not less than thirty days, nor more than sixty days, after the filing of such petition, in conformity with the provisions of section 9-369 , or if a regular municipal election is to be held more than sixty days, but not more than one hundred twenty days, after the filing of such petition, such question shall be so submitted at such regular election and a vote thereon shall be taken in the manner prescribed by said section 9-369 . If a majority of those voting in any such referendum shall vote to approve such resolution, such resolution shall thereupon become effective. If less than a majority of those voting in any such referendum vote to approve such resolution, such resolution shall be null and void. If no such petition is filed within thirty days after the publication of the newspaper notice of adoption of any such resolution, the municipal clerk shall verify that fact to the legislative body of the municipality and such resolution shall thereupon become effective.

(5) Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this chapter, the aggregate amount of bonds secured by such capital reserve funds authorized to be created and established by this section and by such covenant and agreement of the municipality as set forth in this section shall be included in the debt of the municipality as defined in subdivision (1) of subsection (b) of section 7-374 , and shall be subject to the limitations on such debt and on total debt set forth in said subsection (b) of section 7-374 , and the aggregate amount of such bonds shall not exceed five per centum of the grand list, as defined in section 7-374 , and the proceeds of such bonds shall not be used for residential housing development property, except where such residential housing development property is a part of an undertaking designed to accomplish or further one or more purposes of this chapter in addition to the purpose of residential housing.

For purposes of this section, notice shall be presumed to have been properly sent if such notice was mailed to such person's last-known address on file with the tax collector. If the person to whom such notice is issued is a registrant, the municipality may deliver such notice in accordance with section 7-148ii , provided nothing in this section shall preclude a municipality from providing notice in another manner permitted by applicable law.

(d) If the person who is sent notice pursuant to subsection (c) of this section wishes to admit liability for any alleged violation, he may, without requesting a hearing, pay the full amount of the fines, penalties, costs or fees admitted to in person or by mail to an official designated by such municipality. Such payment shall be inadmissible in any proceeding, civil or criminal, to establish the conduct of such person or other person making the payment.

The presence of the issuing official or policeman shall be required at the hearing if such person so requests. A person wishing to contest his liability shall appear at the hearing and may present evidence in his behalf. A designated municipal official, other than the hearing officer, may present evidence on behalf of the municipality. If such person fails to appear, the hearing officer may enter an assessment by default against him upon a finding of proper notice and liability under the applicable statutes or ordinances. The hearing officer may accept from such person copies of police reports, investigatory and citation reports, and other official documents by mail and may determine thereby that the appearance of such person is unnecessary. The hearing officer shall conduct the hearing in the order and form and with such methods of proof as he deems fair and appropriate. The rules regarding the admissibility of evidence shall not be strictly applied, but all testimony shall be given under oath or affirmation. The hearing officer shall announce his decision at the end of the hearing. If he determines that the person is not liable, he shall dismiss the matter and enter his determination in writing accordingly. If he determines that the person is liable for the violation, he shall forthwith enter and assess the fines, penalties, costs or fees against such person as provided by the applicable ordinances of the municipality.

(f) If such assessment is not paid on the date of its entry, the hearing officer shall send by first class mail a notice of the assessment to the person found liable and shall file, not less than thirty days or more than twelve months after such mailing, a certified copy of the notice of assessment with the clerk of a superior court facility designated by the Chief Court Administrator together with an entry fee of eight dollars. The certified copy of the notice of assessment shall constitute a record of assessment. Within such twelve-month period, assessments against the same person may be accrued and filed as one record of assessment. The clerk shall enter judgment, in the amount of such record of assessment and court costs of eight dollars, against such person in favor of the municipality. Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes, the hearing officer's assessment, when so entered as a judgment, shall have the effect of a civil money judgment and a levy of execution on such judgment may issue without further notice to such person.

(g) A person against whom an assessment has been entered pursuant to this section is entitled to judicial review by way of appeal. An appeal shall be instituted within thirty days of the mailing of notice of such assessment by filing a petition to reopen assessment, together with an entry fee in an amount equal to the entry fee for a small claims case pursuant to section 52-259 , at a superior court facility designated by the Chief Court Administrator, which shall entitle such person to a hearing in accordance with the rules of the judges of the Superior Court.

Defendant's attempt to collaterally challenge an assessment by means of a motion to open failed to strictly comply with right established by Subsec. (g) to appeal from the assessment, thus the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to grant such motion to open and reduce the amount of the assessment. 150 CA 736.

Sec. 7-481. Declaration of legislative policy.
Status: in_force

(b) It is further found and declared that there exists a critical shortage of adequate housing in many municipalities which is the result of declines in new housing starts and the existing large number of substandard, unsafe and unsanitary dwellings; that a large and significant number of residents of many municipalities have been and will be subject to hardship in finding adequate, safe and sanitary housing unless new facilities are constructed and existing housing, where appropriate, is rehabilitated; that unless the supply of housing is increased significantly and expeditiously, a large number of such residents will be compelled to live in unsanitary, overcrowded and unsafe conditions to the detriment of the health, welfare and well being of these persons and of such municipalities or such residents will abandon such municipalities to find suitable housing elsewhere, thus further contributing to the decline of such municipalities; and that by increasing the housing supply in such municipalities and the ability of their residents to obtain decent, safe and sanitary housing, the critical shortage of adequate housing will be ameliorated.

(c) It is further found and declared that such conditions combined with the existence in many municipalities within the state of residential, nonresidential, commercial, industrial, vacant or predominantly vacant areas which are slum or blighted because of substandard, unsanitary, deteriorated or deteriorating conditions which accelerate the decline of population in such municipalities, retard sound economic growth and physical development, erode the financial position of such municipalities and their residents by shrinking their tax base, increasing the share of the tax burden which each taxpayer must bear and reducing the incentive for investment in such municipalities, and adversely affect the health, safety, welfare and prosperity of the state and more particularly the people of such municipalities.

(d) It is further found and declared that, by virtue of their architectural and cultural heritage, their positions as principal centers of communication and transportation and their concentration of productive and energy efficient facilities, many municipalities are capable of ameliorating the conditions of deterioration which impede sound community growth and development; that building a proper balance of housing, industrial and commercial facilities and increasing the attractiveness of such municipalities to persons of all income levels are essential to restoring such municipalities as desirable places to live, work, shop and enjoy life's amenities; that the accomplishment of these objectives is beyond remedy solely by the regulatory process in the exercise of the police power and cannot be dealt with effectively by the ordinary operations of private enterprise without the powers provided herein; and that the exercise of the powers herein provided is critical to continuing the process of revitalizing such municipalities and will serve an urgent public use and purpose.

(e) The necessity in the public interest and for the public benefit and good of the provisions of this chapter is hereby declared as a matter of legislative determination.

The total amount of grants made pursuant to this subsection shall not exceed twenty per cent of the total amount of grants made pursuant to the open space and watershed land acquisition grant program in any fiscal year.

(d) (1) Except as provided in subdivision (2) of this subsection, no grant may be made under the protected open space and watershed land acquisition grant program established under subsection (a) of this section or under the Charter Oak open space grant program established under section 7-131t for: (A) Land to be used for commercial purposes or for recreational purposes requiring intensive development, including, but not limited to, golf courses, driving ranges, tennis courts, ballfields, swimming pools and uses by motorized vehicles other than vehicles needed by water companies to carry out their purposes, provided trails or pathways for pedestrians, motorized wheelchairs or nonmotorized vehicles shall not be considered intensive development; (B) land with environmental contamination over a significant portion of the property provided grants for land requiring remediation of environmental contamination may be made if remediation will be completed before acquisition of the land or any interest in the land and an environmental assessment approved by the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection has been completed and no environmental use restriction applies to the land; (C) land which has already been committed for public use, except as provided in subsection (c) of section 7-131g ; (D) development costs, including, but not limited to, construction of ballfields, tennis courts, parking lots or roadways; (E) land to be acquired by eminent domain; or (F) reimbursement of in-kind services or incidental expenses associated with the acquisition of land.

In the case of land acquired under this section which is designated as a state park, any fees charged by the state for use of such land shall be used by the state in accordance with the provisions of title 23.

(2) Grants in a total amount not exceeding five per cent of the total amount of grants made pursuant to the open space and watershed land acquisition grant program in any fiscal year may be made to distressed municipalities, as defined in section 32-9p , targeted investment communities, as defined in section 32-222 , nonprofit land conservation organizations and municipalities, for the purpose of reimbursement for in-kind services or incidental expenses associated with the acquisition of land, including, but not limited to, survey fees, appraisal costs and legal fees, provided such land is located in a distressed municipality, targeted investment community or environmental justice community, as defined in section 22a-20a .

Any application for a grant-in-aid relating to land located beyond the territorial limits of the applying municipality shall be subject to approval of the legislative body of the municipality within whose territorial limits the land is located. A municipality applying for aid under this section, may designate its conservation commission as its agent to make such application.

(f) At closing, a permanent conservation easement, as defined in section 47-42 , shall be executed for any property purchased with grant funds, which conservation easement shall provide that the property shall remain forever predominantly in its natural and open condition for the specific conservation, open space or water supply purposes for which it was acquired provided any improvements or changes to the property shall be supportive of such condition or purposes. The permanent conservation easement shall be in favor of the state acting through the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection, or his designee, which may be a municipality or a land conservation organization. In the case of land acquired for water supply protection, a water company may hold an easement in conjunction with the state or a nonprofit entity to protect the water supply. Such permanent conservation easement shall also include a requirement that the property be made available to the general public for appropriate recreational purposes, the maintenance of which recreational access shall be the responsibility of the grantee provided such access shall not be required for land which will be classified as class I or class II land by a water company if such access is inconsistent with the provision of pure drinking water to the public. An exception to the provision of public recreational access may be made at the discretion of the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection when provision for public access would be unreasonably detrimental to the wildlife or plant habitat or other natural features of the property or, for land where development rights have been purchased, would be disruptive of agricultural activity occurring on the land. Any instrument conveying an interest in land less than fee which interest is purchased under this section shall provide for the permanent preservation of the land and public access consistent with the land's use or protection and with any restrictions prescribed by the Department of Public Health in order to protect a public drinking water source.
