Hi, Ken.
The debt split is based on the pupil split between the two towns. We won't know what that will be until we get the Governor's Budget at the end of
January 2024.
The FY24 split is 61.06% Whitman, 38.94% Hanson. I would guess 62% of the debt for the high school project.
Also, the $500K BAN borrowed on the Whitman Middle School feasibility study will require a principal paydown in FY25. We should have a quick meeting to
decide what you want to do with that when things slow down. A budget holding amount would be $166,667 for principal plus whatever the interest you think
would be appropriate based on your outlook on rates.
The BAN was for $500K, and we didn't pay back anything for the first two years, so this is the principal paydown:
FY23 Year 1 - no paydown
FY24 Year 2 - no paydown
FY25 Year 3 - $166,667
FY26 Year 4 - $166,667
FY27 Year 5 - $166,666
Total BAN Paydowns: $500,000
There are some funding options to consider if the WMS project passes. There aren't many options to this paydown schedule if it doesn't.
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
