The Amsterdam Common Council continues to narrow down what capital projects to pursue during the 2017-18 fiscal year while trying to figure out if some purchases can be made by the end of this year.

Aldermen met Monday (5/15/17) to discuss proposed capital projects for 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 fiscal years but did not finalize the list due to lingering questions on proposed expenses and uncertainty about how much money the city could bond during 2017-18.

Projects expenses in each fiscal year were approximately $5.70 million, $2.27 million and $1.06 million respectively before aldermen began tweaking the list.
