Background and Discussion:
On November 8, 2022, Harris County voters approved all three bonds’ propositions: $100 million for public safety facilities, $900 million for road and $200 million bonds for parks, a total of $1.2 billion which increases the bond authority available for the County. At this time, the County wishes to amend the CP, Series D, Series D-2 and Series D-3 Order to include the 2022 voted authority.
Expected Impact:
Series D, D-2 and D-3 notes will be issued to finance projects pursuant to the 2022 voted authority. The notes will be refunded with bonds later on to restore CP capacity.
Alternative Options:
To issue bonds to finance projects pursuant to the 2022 voted authority.
