BUDA — Nearly 20 individuals were selected to serve on the city of Buda’s bond committee.
The Buda City Council adopted a resolution Tuesday, Jan. 18, creating the ad-hoc Buda Bond Oversight Committee and selecting 17 representatives and five alternates to serve on the committee.
The purpose of the committee will be to advise and provide guidance to the city council and city staff to ensure that the 2021 General Obligation bonds approved by the Buda voters on November 2, 2021, are implemented timely, efficiently, transparently, fairly and with quality and equity, according to the adopted resolution.
Last year, Buda voters approved Proposition A (Transportation) and Proposition B (Parks and Recreation) bond packages that totaled $89.66 million.
Committee members must live within the incorporated limits of Buda and serve a three-year term (with availability for reappointment by the city council).
Members who are absent for three consecutive meetings will result in automatic resignation — This does not apply to an absence due to a medical reason of the committee member or member of the household, childcare for a newly born or newly adopted child, death of a family member, a scheduled vacation, business travel, school, or from an unexpected factor beyond the control of the committee member. Members are to notify the city manager or designee in advance of an expected absence.
