2006 Bond Election
The City of Austin is planning to submit to the voters a bond election program of long-term capital investments that meet both municipal and regional goals for providing quality public services and responding to Central Texas' growth. The City Council appointed a citizen Bond Election Advisory Committee (BEAC) in February 2005 to make recommendations on projects and programs for that bond program. The BEAC presented its recommendation to the Council in February 2006. Council voted to hold the Bond Election in November 2006 and received a series of briefings and recommendations on different project and program areas from staff. In May, Council conducted two Public Hearings to receive additional citizen input on the Bond Election. Council used the BEAC recommendation, staff briefings and public input to determine the bond program that voters will be asked to consider in November. On June 8, 2006 the City Council established the following bond propositions to be presented to the voters at a special bond election in November 2006.
