5.1. Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a potential 2022 bond election.
Jennifer Prochazka, Assistant City Manager, provided an overview on the timeline of a potential 2022
Bond Election highlighting the public meetings and engagement to this point, while noting future
milestone dates.
4/28 – 8/10: Community Input/Council Review/Prioritization of Projects

Mrs. Prochazka went on to present the staff’s recommendations for the bond election, noting that the
Citizens Bond Advisory Committee had presented their recommendations at the April 28, 2022 City
Council meeting and the total possible amount available for a GO Bond Election was between
75,000,000 and $100,000,000. In total 16 potential bond items had been recommended by staff which
totaled $93,975,000 which includes a 5% contingency due to recent inflation.
A majority of council modified the staff recommendations by removing the Gilchrist Street
Rehabilitation and adding Mabel Clare Thomas Park Pool and Westside Park Development to the
recommendation. Additional changes were made to the Rock Prairie Road East Widening by requiring
separated bike lanes, Mabel Clare Thomas Park Redevelopment would not have a covered basketball
court, Mabel Clare Thomas Park Pool would have revised concept pool amenities, and Westside Park
Development would have its estimate revised to reflect more basic upgrades.
