Assistant City Manager Robert Goode's memo warns that holding a bond election in 2025 could jeopardize the funding and support needed for a more comprehensive bond election in 2026. He argues that additional focus on 2025 bonds might lead to decision-making without a complete understanding of urgent city needs and risk creating voter fatigue over two elections close together.
Goode emphasizes, 'Any funds dedicated to an accelerated 2025 bond program would reduce available funding for the comprehensive 2026 bond. City Council will also not be able to consider those 2025 initiatives alongside all other prioritized projects... Deciding in 2025 without the full understanding of needs may hinder the City Council's ability to address other needs within a comprehensive 2026 program.'
