Funding • $4 Million10-Year Bond • Subject To A Proposition 2 ½ Debt Exclusion Override
Taxpayer Impact • 10-Year Bond @ 5.00% Interest = $420,000 Per Year. • Average Cost Per Household = Approximately $250/Year
Long-Term Bonding Impact • Current Bond Payments = $250,000 / Year • Expires FY-2008 • FY-2007 Start Work With BANs (Bond Anticipation Notes, Interest Only) • FY 2008 At Expiration Of Old Bond, Float New Bond. • New Bond = $420,000 / Year • Net Bonding Payment Increase = $170,000 / Year
Taxpayer Impact If Repairs Not Done • $$$ Unacceptable Public Safety Risks And Possible Liability • $$$ On-Going Series Of Emergency Repairs At Much Higher Costs • $$$ Higher Future Materials and Labor Costs
On-Going Work • While the restoration is under way, the highway department will continue on-going work on state funded (Chapter 90) projects and repairs funded in the town’s operational budget.
Concurrent Projects Include… • Completion of Bennett Road Construction • Resurfacing of Valley View, Forest Hill and Chestnut Hill Roads • Resurfacing of Glendale Road • Resurfacing of Glendale Estates • Resurfacing of Evergreen Terr, Fox Run & Genevieve Drive • Supplemental Funding for Infrastructure Improvements that may require unanticipated scopes of work. • Equipment acquisition • Projects listed in the Infrastructure Improvement Plan, should funding be depleted. • Other – There may be unanticipated projects, such as damaged roads and drainage systems due to storm events
Due to the uncertainty of future costs, state aid, and unexpected project complications, some projects may be deferred or re-prioritized or some bonded projects may be combined with Chapter 90 projects.
