Last November voters approved the $1.1 billion Austin ISD bond package. The year before, voters passed the $720 million mobility bond to fund transportation projects. Austin City Council is reviewing another bond package, but this one is harder to succinctly explain. City Council is considering a bond for the November ballot that would fund projects in five different areas—affordable housing, parkland and open space, reinvestment in facilities and assets, and stormwater and transportation infrastructure. Before this bond gets to the ballot, council has to finalize the numbers. The Bond Election Advisory Task Force, a council-appointed group, presented to council an $851 million package and a tax rate increase of slightly over 2 cents April 10. Now council must either accept that proposal or scale back the package before sending it to voters. Be sure to follow coverage from our Austin City Hall reporter, Christopher Neely. He’ll be on top of this story from now through Election Day.
