Warner voters approve $2.75 million for new fire station; bond authorization passes by 2/3 vote
Summary
By a two-thirds ballot vote, Warner voters approved $2.75 million to build and equip a fire station, authorizing up to $2.5 million in bonds under RSA 33 and specifying $10,000 for interest on a bond anticipation note.
Town of Warner voters approved Article 4 (as amended) on March 13, 2018, authorizing the town to raise and appropriate $2,750,000 to construct and equip a fire station on town-owned land. The funding plan in the warrant indicated up to $200,000 would come from the unassigned fund balance, $50,000 would be raised through taxation, and the town would be authorized to issue up to $2,500,000 in bonds or notes under the Municipal Finance Act (RSA 33).
Ballot results recorded in the transcript show the article passed with the required two-thirds majority: total votes 351; Yes 293 (83.5%), No 58 (16.5%). The warrant also included a separate appropriation of $10,000 through taxation to cover interest payments on a bond anticipation note. The article text in the transcript referenced the Municipal Finance Act (RSA 33) as the statutory authority for issuing bonds or notes.
The transcript includes the article both “as amended” and “as originally submitted”; the Board of Selectmen and the Budget Committee previously recommended the proposal in the warrant materials. Voters approved the amended appropriation at the meeting.
