In a statement, Jersey Village Mayor Bobby Warren said he was glad voters approved propositions B and C.
"With these funds, we're not just fixing problems, we're investing in our future—[taking] a proactive approach to sustaining a crucial asset of our city: our infrastructure," Warren said in an email Nov. 8.
Warren also said he was disappointed Proposition A did not pass.
"Frankly, our city council is going to have some very tough decisions to make about the future of our city pool," Warren said. "Given the age of the pool and the severity of the problems affecting it, we may need to consider closing it indefinitely. In the meantime, we're going to continue discussing the future of the pool with our citizens with the hope that we can develop a plan to replace it in the near future."
