Seymour City Council: Seymour council approves new pool bond fund on 7-0 vote

Seymour City Council: The Seymour City Council voted 7-0 on Feb. 23 to advance an ordinance creating an additional city fund for pool bond proceeds and reimbursements. The fund will be used to pay bills associated with the pool bond and deposit reimbursements from BKO. The meeting record also says the city identified $8,535.78 in stale checks from 2023, which will be returned to the funds from which they originated as required by the State Board of Accounts. The mayor’s 2025 State of the City address highlighted ongoing pool renovations, a transfer station project, fire-training facilities, Henry Way and O’Brien Street work, but the minutes contain no new approvals, costs or deadlines for those projects.
