The minutes document municipal bond/loan information concerning a '$609,000 outstanding short term flood recovery debt that matures in August 2026' and explicitly state that FEMA aid will not be available to cover these expenses.

The minutes direct readers to the Town Clerk’s Office for further details.
No formal vote or commitment to a specific refinancing option is recorded in the meeting minutes; the transcript notes discussion of the MCRF option and indicates further details can be obtained from the clerk.

Those documents would be required before formal action or a loan closing.
