Summary
The committee wants voters to authorize a pot of bond money — amount TBD — to fix Town facilities, without tying the vote to specific buildings or designs. Prior detailed proposals failed; a roads-style ask passed before. Three-quarters of survey respondents said 'do something' about facilities.

Impact analysis
Roughly $30 million in existing bonds ($18M and $12M) come due in 2027 and 2030; new bonding could be phased over about 20 years to soften the tax impact, though taxes won't necessarily stay flat.
Residents get a path to finally fixing aging police, fire, and town facilities, funded in a way designed to be more palatable to taxpayers.
Taxpayers opposed to new spending — roughly 20-25% of residents — will see a bond ask on the ballot they may oppose.
