BOND ACT RLAS1

Bond Act RLAS1 is a request to authorize the issuance of $100,000 in bonds – Design and construction management of the replacement of the overhead electrical service along the main road to an underground conduit at Lasdon Park in the Town of Somers.

This Bond Act was discussed in length at the June 3, 2002 Committee meeting but was not signed out at that time because the Committee on Budget & Appropriations (B&A) was awaiting additional information.  Since then B&A has received and is satisfied with the requested information.
