Garden City trustees adopt $475,000 bond to repair Clinton Road chemical treatment room
Summary
The Board of Trustees adopted a bond resolution authorizing up to $475,000 in general‑obligation bonds to repair deteriorating ceiling and wall conditions in the Clinton Road water plant chemical treatment room and accepted a $75,900 design contract; the vote was unanimous.
The Garden City Board of Trustees on June 25 voted to authorize up to $475,000 in general‑obligation bonds to finance structural repairs to the chemical treatment room at the Clinton Road water well site.
The bond resolution (Resolution 67‑2026) — which passed by a unanimous roll‑call vote of 8–0 — authorizes work including repairs to the ceiling and walls, treatment piping, new ventilation and electrical outlets for chemical pumps. The resolution states the project’s estimated maximum cost is $475,000, sets a 15‑year period of probable usefulness and allows the use of bond anticipation notes. The bonds would be general obligations of the Village and payable by taxes on all taxable real property, and the resolution delegates authority over bond issuance and related procedures to the Village Treasurer.
Trustee Vinny Muldoon introduced the resolution. The text of the bond resolution makes the authorization subject to a permissive referendum and directs the Village Clerk to publish the required notices in the official newspaper and in public postings.
At the same meeting the Board also accepted a proposal from H2M Architects & Engineers for engineering design services related to the Clinton Road chemical treatment room at an estimated cost of $75,900. The contract covers evaluation of deteriorated ceiling and wall conditions, preparation of design documents and specifications, and related services to advance the project to construction.
Both the bond authorization and the H2M contract were approved on motions by Trustee Muldoon and were carried unanimously.
The Board’s actions reallocate capital funding: the meeting record shows the Board agreed to defer previously planned electrical improvements to other wells to free funding for the required structural repairs. The Clerk’s publication of the bond summary and notice begins the period during which the bond resolution may be contested under the conditions spelled out in the resolution.
