Officials with the City of El Paso announced Tuesday a series of public meeting where they will be presenting information on the proposed 2019 Public Safety Bond scheduled to be on the November 5, 2019 ballot.
Via a news release, officials said the proposed bond is the “City’s plan to use voter approved bonds to pay for public improvements for the Police and Fire Departments, including vehicles and equipment.”
If approved by the voters, the proposed projects would be funded by the City issuing general obligation bonds. The bonds are a debt that the City would pay back over time from taxpayer dollars.
