Here's a ten year history of Cheshire referenda results. And see here for a trend analysis of certain referenda.
I'm guessing the recent history of rejected recreation-related projects (2005 linear trail, 2010 pool, 2010 track) will be taken into consideration by the Council when the turf comes to a vote.
With regard to the track, I'm uncertain what will happen with the $150,000 previously appropriated. My guess is that it'll be used to perform ongoing maintenance... or the Council could probably defund all or some of the appropriation... before it gets used on other projects "related to the track." Wouldn't be surprised if David Schrumm already knows the answer to that.
It's also notable that the Dodd kitchen renovations weren't given any sort of massive support, while roads were given pretty strong support.

I guess a lot of people went to see the track and found it was in
pretty good shape. I think people in town would like their property maintained, rather than letting it deteriorate and replace everything. Now that the people have voted, the BOE or whoever is responsible should buy some caulk and take a few days to fill cracks.

Maybe, some of the people working on the turf, could do this and get some repair and maintenance experience.
Note the % voting yes on Question 1 and how it steadily declines for questions 2 thru 5. In fact, this was a consistent trend across all 7 polling locations.
