Summary
The City of Middletown Board of Estimate voted to approve a $9,530,477 bond resolution to fund 26 citywide capital projects, including renovation work at the old courthouse in City Hall; the measure now moves to the full common council for further discussion.
The City of Middletown Board of Estimate approved a $9,530,477 bond resolution to fund 26 citywide capital projects at a brief board meeting.
The Chair introduced agenda item 3.1 and told members the city plans to borrow funds for prioritized projects phased over the next couple of years. "The total capital plan is $9,530,477," the Chair said, referencing an attached bond resolution.
Why it matters: The bond would provide immediate funding authority for a range of capital needs across Middletown, including renovation work at the old courthouse in City Hall, that the board said will be addressed in phases.
The Chair moved to approve the bond resolution; the motion was seconded by Rodriguez. The Chair called the vote and three members responded "Aye," carrying the motion. The Chair noted the resolution will proceed to the full common council, where additional discussion can occur.
Board business at the short meeting also included a procedural note that no minutes were available for approval and a check that there were no water and sewer adjustments. Members then moved to adjourn.
Details and open items: The Chair said the plan covers 26 capital items and will be implemented over multiple years; the transcript did not specify which projects would receive the largest share of funding and did not list funding sources beyond the proposed bond. The board did not provide project-by-project dollar breakdowns during the meeting.
