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

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. Resources:BeaumontBonds.comWatch Past MeetingsRiverfront Park Reopening EventParks Masterplan DocumentBond Survey ResultsCommunity Investment Plan DocumentJuneteenth Event Info4th of July Event InfoIn-Person Open House Meeting takes place on Friday July 12th from 10am-12pm at the Lakeside CenterOnline Open House will be from July 4-13 at BeaumontBonds.com Chapters:(00:00) Intro & Announcements(01:58) What is a Bond Election(05:03) Choosing What Goes on the Bond(08:16) Intermission Announcements (09:40) How the Money Can Be Used(11:33) What is the Financial Impact on Me(15:21) How Can I Get Involved(18:08) Outro & AnnouncementsYou can stream the Beaumont Beat:⁠Spotify⁠YouTube⁠ Video⁠⁠Apple PodcastAmazon MusiciHeart⁠⁠City of Beaumont Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact us at:⁠[email protected]⁠
