Council considers $3 million borrowing request for stormwater improvements; referred to finance
Summary
The city council received a mayoral communication recommending authorization to borrow $3,000,000 for stormwater improvement design and construction; the item was referred to the finance committee for review.
A request from the mayor asking the Brockton City Council to authorize $3,000,000 in borrowing for the design and construction of various stormwater improvements was read into the record on May 12, 2025 and referred to the finance committee.
The communication cited the General Laws of Massachusetts Chapter 44 as the enabling authority and included a proposed order and a form of order prepared with the city's bond counsel. The communication states the city treasurer, with the mayor’s approval, would be authorized to borrow under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 44 and to file an application with the Commonwealth Municipal Finance Oversight Board under Chapter 44A as required.
No final appropriation or bond issuance was voted at the meeting; the item was sent to the standing finance committee for further consideration. The council’s referral means the finance committee will review project details, estimated costs and financing language before returning recommendations to the full council.
