During its October 9 meeting, Camden City Council passed first reading of an ordinance that, when passed on final second reading will allow the city to issue up to, but not exceeding, $7 million of combined public utility system improvement revenue bonds. The bond will cover a total of $6.701 million in electric and traffic signal improvements, including undergrounding, in specific spots in Camden. According to a work sheet distributed during the meeting, the largest share of funds -- $4.1 million -- will go toward placing electric lines underground in the Kirkwood community.
