City outlines public-education push for eight-part 2026 bond package ahead of April election
Summary
City staff said a public-education phase for an eight-proposition 2026 general obligation bond package began two weeks ago, with four community meetings, ~30 informational videos and a mailed 'bond book' to households before the April 7 election.
Nicholas Burgeon told the council the city has launched a public-education campaign for a 2026 general obligation bond package that will leave detailed information with voters ahead of the April 7 election.
"The public education phase of the 2026 bond package began about 2 weeks ago," Burgeon said, and staff have met with homeowners associations, school officials and civic groups to explain the projects in each proposition. He said the effort will include approximately 30 videos, four public meetings in March and April, social-media posts and presentations to school boards and county commissioners.
Burgeon said the materials will culminate in a mailed "bond book" to households describing the projects and that staff and user groups will be available at the meetings to answer questions. He reiterated the council’s intent that voters may cast up to eight separate votes — one for each proposition — when the ballot appears.
The presentation aims to give voters clearer visuals and project-level details than in past outreach, Burgeon said. The city did not vote on the bond package at the meeting; the presentation was an informational update as outreach continues through early April.
