Bond election
The proposed 2022 bond program is broken down into five positions. Residents can vote for or against each proposition on the ballot.
The $560 million bond package includes propositions to fund capital projects in Fort Worth neighborhoods and business districts. If the bond propositions pass, there will be no direct change to the property tax rate, and the city’s tax rate should not need to increase to repay the bonds, according to a city newsletter.
Proposition A: $360.2 million for streets and mobility-related projects
Proposition B: $124 million for park and recreation projects, including a new aquatics center in the Stop Six neighborhood and a rebuilt Forest Park Pool
Proposition C: $12.5 million for a new library in far northwest Fort Worth
Proposition D: $39.3 million for police and fire public safety facilities; included is a proposed headquarters for the Northwest Patrol Division
Proposition E: $15 million for the city’s Open Space program, which focuses on acquiring natural areas
Charter election
Thirteen proposed amendments to the Fort Worth City Charter will be on the May 7 ballot. Voters may vote for or against each of the propositions individually.
Among the propositions is increasing the annual pay for the mayor and council members as well as other propositions designed to delete outdated language and to reflect the current organization of Fort Worth’s municipal government.
District 4 special election
An election will also be held on May 7 to fill an unexpired term in Council District 4 after Council Member Cary Moon filed to run for the Texas House of Representatives. Four candidates filed to run for the open position: Alan Blaylock, James H. McBride, Teresa Ramirez and Tara Wilson.
