Town Manager'S Report
Approve the bonds as read by Mr. Pease
Mr. Degen made a motion to approve the bonds as read by Mr. Pease.
From the minutes
“Mr. Degen made a motion to approve the bonds as read by Mr. Pease. Ms. Pine seconded the motion. Mr. Pease said that that bonds were a total of $7,760,000. Ms. Manugian said that there must be a mechanism where this money is not bonded based on estimates. Mr. Haddad said that the amounts were based on bids in hand and what was approved and voted on by the Town Meeting. Mr. Haddad said that if they wanted to get the best interest rates possible, their bond advisors told them that now was the time. Mr. Haddad said that they had to have faith in their advisors. Mr. Degen asked what the anticipated interest rate was. Mr. Hartnett said that they were hoping for under 4%. Mr. Haddad said that in a perfect world, they would wait until the project was done but the market was so uncertain that they should bond it now. Mr. Giger said that they should inquire about how money was repurposed. The motion carried unanimously..” (Motion: Degen, second: Pine)
