Redding residents are voting on a budget today.  There are seven questions on the ballot. One is the $47.79 million budget, including the town's share of the Region 9 school budget.  The next is about Region 9's budget of $23.1 million.  Easton's share is $10.8 million, Redding's is $12.3 million. 

The other questions are about capital items.

$1.95 million allocated for repairs and improvements at Redding Elementary and John Read Middle schools is proposed.  There would be parking lot paving and curb replacement, and HVAC system engineering designs at each school.  Upgraded electrical service in two wings of the elementary school, an added security entrance and new sidewalks and steps would also be done there.  At the middle school, bleachers would be replaced, the gym floor refinished and wall padding replaced.

The next question is about $660,000 for converting  Redding Community Center Field #2 to turf. 

Question 5 is a $123,000 to replace the police Communications Tower.  Question 6 is about $47,000 for a pavilion at the Redding Community Center Fields. 

The last question is about appropriating a little more than $1 million to replace the roof at Joel Barlow High School.  Redding's share is about $566,000, Easton's is $477,000.  The 54-percent shouldered by Redding and 46-percent by Easton is based on enrollment in the school by each town.
