Funding Our Future Projects | S3 E6: The Potential of Using Bonds

About this episode

The episode discusses the potential bond election in Beaumont and how residents can get involved in the process.

The City of Beaumont has a bond committee working hard on some proposals for our future. They meet to discuss what to include in a potential bond proposal that may go up for election on the November ballot. The City hasn’t had a bond election since 1983, the same year that Sally Ride became the first American woman in space, and when Michael Jackson debuted the moonwalk. That was 42 years ago. Back then Beaumont passed a voter-approved $16 million General Obligation bond package for drainage improvements. On today’s episode, one of Beaumont’s Assistant City Managers, June Ellis will join us to explain what the bond committee is discussing and how you can get involved in the process.
