THE TOWN OF MILLSBORO NOTICE

The Town of Millsboro announces that, after a Public Hearing held on August 5, 2024, the Mayor and Council of The Town of Millsboro voted on October 7, 2024, to approve the issuance of up to $95,700.00 maximum principal amount of general obligation bonds to fund and pay for the costs associated with the Town’s Lead Service Line Inventory Project, which consists of the development of an internal web map and dashboard in the Town’s ArcGIS Online (AGOL) environment to display the relevant service line material information from the GIS, enabling the Town to track progress, perform analysis, and export data captured for notification and reporting purposes (the “Project”). According to the binding commitment received from the Department of Health and Social Services (the “Department”), the Town anticipates that the bonds will be payable over a 20 year period, with interest at 0% per annum and 100% principal forgiveness upon completion of the Project. Because one of the terms of the binding commitment from the Department is that 100% of the loan principal will be forgiven, Section 34(c) of the Town Charter does not require that a special election be held following the public hearing in order for the Town to approve the proposed borrowing and to pursue the Project.

Any person desiring to challenge the authorization of such bonds or certificates of indebtedness must bring his or her action within sixty (60) days from the date of this publication or forever be barred from doing so.
