Broken Arrow council recap: $415 million geobond package proposed, residents asked for feedback
Summary
City officials reviewed a proposed $415 million geobond package that they say would not raise the property tax rate for propositions 1–7, described a separate temporary half-cent sales-tax proposal for sports facilities, and highlighted a $250,000 federal grant and a water-plant contract approved the same night.
City of Broken Arrow officials on Tuesday, Dec. 2 summarized a proposed $415 million geobond package and urged residents to review recommended projects and submit feedback on the city website.
Councilor David Pickle said the initial concept for infrastructure projects began as about $1.2 billion and was reduced to a $415 million capital-improvement proposal after public forums and surveys. "It's no new taxes. It does not raise the tax base, with this bond," Pickle said, describing propositions 1 through 7 as not requiring a property tax-rate increase.
