09/10 Capital Budget: the dollar figures
Here are the capital budget dollar figures that went to public hearing on Tuesday:
Generally-speaking, the items that would go to referendum (if put forward by the Council) are the items with bonded dollar values above $350,000.
What would you spike from the budget?
You can find many of the details here or you can scour the blog if you need more information to make an informed decision.

What are the proposed maturity of these bonds? many of these peojects will be obsolete probably while we still are going to be on the hook for debt service
what does the fire department need now a helicopter...take a year off from all of this stuff...no track,no land, no bridge, no windows, nothing...
Forget the dump truck for PW.
Forget about fencing in at some of the parks.
Delete the $350,000 for CHS locker room relocation; and delete the $250,000 for CHS track resurfacing. Use the $525,000 turf grant towards these items.
11:53 p.m. ...take a year off..."
And if they did, best of all, no property tax increases!
Get rid of all senior services..
How come the senior center elevator replacement is only costing $110,000 yet the CHS elevator was $400,000? I imagine that both are designed to accommodate wheelchairs so size wise, they should be nearly the same.
Who comes up with the dollar amounts on the bridge repairs/replacement? $600,000 for the Country Club Rd bridge seems outrageous!
Don't we have some town engineer person that could design it and some public works people who could to the job??
Tim, How come the Dodd kitchen renovations are shown at $200,000, yet in the explanation section it says, "estimated cost = $320,000"?
Shouldn't the numbers be the same?
$120,000 was last year
