Millions in Bonds Before Trumbull Council, Finance Board Tonight

Trumbull's Town Council and the Board of Finance will take up four bond issues at 7 p.m. in Town Hall.

The bonds encompass:

• $1.3 million for upgrading school district technology
• $740,000 for turf repair and other repairs to McDougall Field (Trumbull High School); THS' track, tennis courts and soccer field. The price depends on what options are selected.
• $832,000 for school security upgrades.

The other bond issue is for appropriating $6.07 million for the 2013-2014 Capital Improvement Plan.

The two boards will also take up transferring $874,000 to the Board of Education. The money was set aside under the state statute allowing 1 percent of the budget surplus to be transferred into a separate account. It was instituted to fund the first year of all-day kindergarten, the cost of which is now part of the education budget, officials say.
