Summary

The Mission City Council approved a resolution supporting an educational campaign on Proposition 4, which would dedicate a portion of state sales-and-use-tax revenue for water infrastructure projects administered by the Texas Water Development Board.

The Mission City Council voted to support an educational campaign regarding Proposition 4, a proposed amendment to the Texas Constitution that would dedicate a portion of state sales-and-use-tax revenue to the Texas Water Fund.

Staff described Proposition 4 as a measure that would dedicate up to $1 billion annually for up to 20 years from existing state sales-and-use-tax revenue to the Texas Water Fund, administered by the Texas Water Development Board. Staff said approval would not create new taxes or fees but would dedicate surplus revenue to support water, wastewater and flood-resilience infrastructure and that cities, including Mission, could apply for funds after required environmental assessments.

Council adopted a resolution expressing strong support for the educational campaign and encouraged Mission residents to review the amendment ahead of the November ballot. The motion was approved unanimously in open session.
