In plain language — from agenda source text
This resolution asks the City Manager to build future bond programs around a predictable six-year cycle, consistent with Austin's existing financial policies, starting in Fiscal Year 2027-2028, and to report back to Council. Bond elections are how the city funds big-ticket capital work colon think roads, parks, drainage and public facilities colon so the timing of those packages shapes when projects get planned and when voters get a say. The item sets a planning framework rather than authorizing any specific borrowing or project.
