Willow Park ballot: A is the home rule charter, B is $10.11 million in certificates of obligation
The county's sample ballots for Willow Park precincts carry two city questions. Proposition A reads: "The City of Willow Park shall adopt the proposed Home Rule Charter." Proposition B, headed "THIS IS A TAX INCREASE," asks about "The issuance of $10,110,000 City of Willow Park, Texas, certificates of obligation" for water and sewer work, streets, roads and intersections, drainage and related professional services, with a tax and a pledge of surplus water and sewer revenue to repay them. The city's election notice lists outstanding city debt at $64,610,000 and a debt-service tax rate of $0.2259 per $100 of value.
What you can do. If you live in Willow Park, your ballot has both city questions.
