Background Information:
In October 2021, the City of San Marcos submitted application for financial assistance from the Flood Infrastructure Fund under the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) for Briarwood and River Ridge Improvement project. This drainage project will reduce flood risk in the Briarwood subdivision and add additional runoff conveyance capacity by constructing a new channel, detention pond, and stormwater drainage system. Two additional lots north of the pond will be constructed with culverts for additional detention.
On March 3, 2022, TWDB approved financial assistance in the amount of $2,352,770, consisting of $1,200,000 in financing and $1,152,770 in grant funding for the City of San Marcos.
Issuance of these Certificate of Obligation bonds for $1,200,000 will be purchased by TWDB under this program.
The first step in issuance of the bonds is a resolution directing publication of the notice to the public of City Council’s intention to issue the certificates of obligation in an amount not to exceed $1,200,000 including issuance costs. Two public notices are required to be posted in the local newspaper. The next step by City Council is scheduled for July 5, 2022 when City Council will consider an Ordinance authorizing the issuance of the Certificates of Obligation and awarding them to the TWDB with funding occurring on August 2nd.
