BETHEL – Election Day will give Bethel voters more to consider than just the state ballot items.
That’s because the town is holding a special town meeting referendum at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 4, at Crescent Park School on Crescent Lane.
Aside from choosing a moderator, voters will face two questions that seek to use undesignated fund balance money to finance two capital improvement projects.
Article 2 asks if the town will approve a project consisting of the design, rehabilitation, construction and equipping of an ambulance barn to improve existing facilities and appropriate a sum not to exceed $150,000 from surplus for the costs.
Article 3 asks if the town will approve a project consisting of the northerly relocation of a portion of Taylor Smith Road and appropriate a sum not to exceed $8,000 from surplus for the job.
By a 4-1 vote on Article 2 and a 5-0 tally on Article 3, selectmen recommended yes votes.
The Budget Committee, which also recommends yes votes, tallied a 6-2 vote for Article 2, although four members were absent, and a 6-1 vote on Article 3, with one abstention.
