BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BEAUMONT:
WHEREAS, Proposition 2 of the November 6, 2001 ballot would allow the issuance
of bonds for the building of roads in border colonias; and,
WHEREAS, these roads would provide access for emergency medical service,
school busses, mail, and other basic and necessary access; and
WHEREAS, through the issuance of bonds, these critical roadways can be built
without an increase in taxes; and,
WHEREAS, since the inflation for road building cost is higher than the current
interest rate on bonds, building the roads with funds from bonds will cost less than waiting
to build the roads using the "pay as you go" method, such that the Proposition 2
constitutional amendment would allow roads to be built in the most fiscally conservative
manner.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT:
THAT the City of Beaumont endorses, supports and encourages the passage of
Proposition 2 and encourages all Texas voters to cast their votes in favor of this much-
needed proposition.
PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the 231d day of
October, 2001.
- Mayor Pro Tem Guy N. Goodson -
