DESCRIPTION: Last year was the first year of combining into one article capital renewal funding for maintaining existing assets, as distinguished from funding new or significantly expanded assets. This article is proposed to request routine maintenance funding for existing assets in a single article both to give it priority in the budgeting process and to allow capital discussions to focus on other, more difficult or controversial financial decisions. This article implements this concept for most non-school, capital renewal requests for FY2001. Cash capital funding proposed reflects the five-year plan endorsed by the Board of Selectmen. Funding requirements for$1,675,914 will be $600,000 borrowing, $452,864 Enterprise, and $623,050 Tax Levy of which $500,000 will be subject to a Proposition 2 1/2 override.
