Council eyes park projects for bond

The Boerne City Council kicked off a series of bond workshops this week, sprouting its first seeds with its parks and recreation department.

In all, the parks department has a host of projects totaling $20 million on its master plan, which the city reviewed Tuesday night during a specially called meeting.

After a presentation from Finance Director Sara Buckelew indicated a $10 million bond could tack $95 to the average home’s property taxes, a $30 million bond could add $285 and a $50 million bond could push the bill up by $475, it became clear the council would need to prioritize projects in each “bucket” of the bond.
