At the August 11, special City Council meeting, the Southlake City Council called for a special election to be held on November 2.

The special election will ask voters to consider issuance of not to exceed $50,000,000 of City of Southlake, Texas General Obligation Bonds for park (including open space and passive parks) improvements.

The ballot language is as follows:

“The issuance of not to exceed $50,000,000 of City of Southlake, Texas General Obligation Bonds for park, (including open space and passive parks) improvements, and the imposition of a tax sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds.”

If approved by voters, the total bond issuance would not exceed $50 million. There would be no increase in property tax to fund the program.
