Ward 8 community meeting on City’s 2007 Bond Election will be held on 11/08

(November 7, 2007) - Councilman Pat Ryan invites Ward 8 residents to attend a community meeting on the City’s 2007 bond election on Thursday, November 8 at 7 p.m. at the new John Marshall High School, 12201 North Portland.

City staff will explain each of the 11 propositions that will appear on the December 11 ballot and answer questions about the proposed bond program.   If passed the 2007 bond program will provide $835.5 million in long-term funding for the City’s infrastructure without raising City property taxes.

The bond propositions were set based on feedback from the 2006 citizen survey, City Council strategic priorities, city manager and department priorities and impact on the operating budget.

This is one of several community meetings on the 2007 bond election that will be held throughout Oklahoma City in November.
