Ventnor introduces $900,000 bond ordinance for school HVAC and sidewalk repairs
Summary
Commissioners introduced Bond Ordinance 2026005 to appropriate $900,000 for school capital improvements including HVAC upgrades and sidewalk repairs; the measure was introduced as part of capital-planning coordination ahead of a later bond ordinance for priority projects.
The commission introduced Bond Ordinance 2026005, which would appropriate $900,000 to fund general capital improvements and equipment for city schools, including HVAC replacement and sidewalk repairs.
Commissioners said the city plans to phase capital needs across years to avoid a single large budget hit; the bond introduction follows planning work by the city’s engineering partners and will be coordinated with the six-year capital program and the upcoming budget process. Officials noted prior experience securing favorable bond rates when issuing debt. No final adoption occurred at this meeting; the introduction moves the ordinance toward subsequent hearings and adoption steps.
The introduction was procedural; commissioners said a detailed capital presentation from the engineer is expected in April and further budget details will follow.
