Murray board authorizes bonds for Water District 17 improvements
Summary
The Town Board authorized general obligation bonds to fund water‑system work in Water District 17 and carried the motion after a roll-call; trustees and staff said bond paperwork is being submitted to the state comptroller.
The Town Board of the Town of Murray voted to authorize general obligation bonds to finance water-system improvements serving Water District 17, covering segments of West Brockville Road and Hinesburg Road.
Chair (S1) introduced the lengthy bond resolution and said he has been working with Underberg & Kessler (attorney Jake Ziegler), bond attorney Jim Coniglio, and MRB Engineers (Scott Madison) to submit final paperwork to the state comptroller. He said the grant and loan portions for the project had been approved earlier, but that bond paperwork had not yet been received or finalized by the state comptroller when residents asked about the timeline.
Resident Stacy Keon (S8) asked whether any bond decisions were complete and noted she had been told the grant and loan were approved in April 2025 but that bond status remained unknown. Chair (S1) said he was pushing the bond paperwork to the proper offices and prepared to submit the required documents that week.
A board member moved the resolution (Berg); another member seconded (Christ/Crist). The board conducted a roll-call style confirmation and members on the call responded "Aye." The motion carried.
The resolution authorizes issuance of bond anticipation notes and general obligation bonds to finance construction of water system improvements for the town’s Water District 17. No additional project schedule or completion timeline was recorded during the meeting; the Chair said he hopes the project can proceed this year if approvals are received.
