Bonds are long-term lending agreements between a borrower and a lender The people who purchase bonds receive interest payments during the bond's term at the bond's stated interest rate. These bonds enable the residents to earn a return on their savings, since they are entitled to be paid back by the town with interest at a predetermined date.

The reason why a town decide to issue bonds is : to finance local governments public projects.
Often times, it's impossible for a town to spend all of their money in one go in order to finish their project. So one way to get around this is by taking a credit from many people or institution so they can pay off their expense little by little
