| Bedford | Article 3. Issuance of Long Term Debt for Reconstruction of Roads
To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate a sum not to exceed thirty million dollars ($30,000,000) for the purpose of the reconstruction and rehabilitation of town roads, such amount to come from the issuance of bonds or notes under and in compliance with the Municipal Finance Act, RSA 33. In addition, authorize the Town Council to issue and negotiate such bonds or notes and to determine the rate of interest thereon, and take such other action as may be necessary to effect the issuance, negotiation, sale and delivery of such bonds or notes as shall be in the best interest of the Town of Bedford, and pass any vote relating thereto. (This article requires a two-thirds ballot vote)
Explanation: The issuance of this long-term debt will address major concerns regarding the continuation of our Town road reconstruction and rehabilitation program as proposed over a ten year period. All funds will be used solely to continue the Town roads program. It is anticipated that this authorization may be separated into three issuances of approximately $10,000,000 each in years, 2010, 2013 and 2016 in order to help mitigate the effects on the Town’s portion of the tax rate. There are several factors being considered in regards to how we best structure the issuance(s) to maximize the benefit of bonding for these road projects. Such factors include but are not limited to bond issue costs, market interest rates, construction timetables and economies of scale, which could be realized from combining projects. It is the intent of the Town Council to consider these and other factors as well as assessing the impact on the tax rate to yield the greatest benefit to the community during the continuation of the roads program.
