With less than eight weeks until the November election, the City of Austin has put together a voter information brochure to educate residents on the $385 million bond propositions as well as two other proposition.

After numerous meetings and discussions about what to put on the ballot, the Austin City Council approved $385 million in bond propositions on Aug. 17 .

If approved by voters, these funds would pay for a variety of projects ranging from transportation improvements and library renovations to public safety facilities. By limiting the total amount of the bond program to $385 million, these bonds can be funded within the city’s current bond capacity and debt service tax rate.

In addition to the bond propositions, the City of Austin ballot will contain 10 City Charter amendment propositions and one voter-initiated proposition.

One of the most talked about items voters will get to decide on is whether or not the Austin City Council will be divided into single-member districts.

Voters can vote on whether they would want the 10-1 plan or the 8-2-1 plan or neither .

These will be considered in conjunction with the November General Election for federal, state and county offices as well as propositions for other taxing entities.
