In February, Kent Cagle, Leander’s city manager, said if all propositions pass, the city plans to pay for the increased debt with “new growth in the tax base.” He cited new homes and businesses in the area and said increasing sales tax will help with the increased debt, which will be issued throughout seven years to help “minimize the impact on the tax rate and give the tax base more opportunity to grow.” Leander’s bond committee members began discussing potential projects in October and approved a finalized list to present to council Jan. 26.
