The authorization is for four (4) years, and must be reauthorized by the voters. <br />Funds collected may only be used for maintenance of existing street - it may not be used for new <br />streets or debt service. <br /> <br />Attached is a list and map of streets that received an asphalt overlay. Additionally, four (4) <br />concrete streets (Old Orchard, Valleybrook, Antrim and a portion of Piney Brook) were replaced. <br />An additional list of proposed street overlay and reconstruction is also attached. This list may be <br />revised as needed, with plans to bid and construct this summer. <br /> <br />A chart is attached illustrating projected and actual collections of the sales tax to date, as well as <br />projected collections for the next four (4) years. The projected future collections are subject to <br />reauthorization of the tax. <br /> <br /> <br />I {1 ;'0 <br /> <br />Date <br />
