What: a general obligation bond ordinance to fund the city's litigation self-insurance fund, tied to the Horn v. City of New Haven and Jackson v. City of New Haven settlements.
Where it stands: The Finance Committee gave the $27,000,000 version a favorable report on 9/14, and the full Board took it up on second reading on 10/5 by roll call (the result was not read). The draft agenda for 11/5 lists a bond ordinance for the same fund with a different printed amount, so the current figure is uncertain.
Next: Full Board agenda of 2026-11-05.
