§ 10-3. General Obligation Securities.  


Latest version.
  • Except as provided in Section 10-2, Section 10-4, Section 10-5, and Article XI, no bonds or other evidence of indebtedness payable in whole or in part from the proceeds of general property taxes or to which the full faith and credit of the Town are pledged, shall be issued until the question of their issuance has been submitted to a vote of the registered electors at a regular or special election and approved by a majority of those voting on the question. However, such securities issued for acquiring water and rights thereto, or acquiring, improving or extending a municipal water system, or otherwise supplying water services, may be issued without an election, subject to a timely referendum, if one is filed in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in this Charter, notwithstanding any emergency declaration in this ordinance.
