Plano City Council confirmed its eight appointees to the 2025 Bond Referendum Citizen Advisory Committee during a preliminary open meeting July 22. Appointments were made after the committee was formed last month.
Two-minute impact

Typically, the city has called a bond election every four years, with voters approving a $364 million bond package in 2021. Officials previously provided an estimate for a 2025 bond at around $700 million.
The details
Council members appointed eight individuals to serve on the committee, including:
- Conner Barron
- Gary Cary
- Elle Cole
- Brett Cooper
- Steve Lavine
- Ying Lu
- Jim Reynolds
- Andrew Schimenti
What’s next?
The committee is expected to start meeting in August. Council has until Feb. 10, 2025 to call for a potential bond election.
