Plymouth Advisory and Finance Committee approves five capital articles for spring town meeting. The committee backed $5 million for the Facility Capital Maintenance Stabilization Fund in a 9-3-2 vote after defeating an amendment to reduce it to $3 million. It unanimously approved $3,109,403 from excess Motor Vehicle Excise revenues to the Pavement Management Stabilization Fund and rescinded $953,723.75 in debt authority for a completed bridge project.
The committee unanimously shifted $1,496,853 in fire equipment funding from bonds to free cash, saving approximately $500,000 in interest costs over 15 years. It endorsed $500,000 for the Nuclear Mitigation Stabilization Fund, now at $11 million, though members questioned the shift from tax relief toward land acquisition planning.
