Bond issues

The first bond issue is to authorize the Town Council to issue up to $320,000 in a 10-year bond in order to receive up to $1.2 million in matching funds from the Maine Department of Transportation. It would be used to construct the final phase of the Lisbon Trail System, previously approved by the council. The council and budget advisory board recommend a yes vote.

The second bond question seeks approval to issue general obligation securities of the town to fund the construction of new water lines and system along Route 9 from Route 196 to Upland Road. It would remedy contamination of residential wells from Barker Brook up Upland Road to Route 9. The amount is not to exceed $1,720,000 for a term not to exceed 30 years, which has been approved by the Town Council. The council, budget advisory board and water commission recommend a yes vote.
