Chapters 1251 and 1331, as amended, Texas Government Code (collectively, the Election Laws), and as
-10-
may be required by any other law. All materials and proceedings relating to the Special Election shall be
printed in both English and Spanish.
SECTION 8. A substantial copy of this Ordinance shall serve as a proper notice of the Special
Election. This notice,including a Spanish translation thereof, shall be posted (i) at three(3)public places
within the City and at the City Hall not less than twenty-one (21) days prior to Election Day and (ii)in a
prominent location at each polling place on Election Day and during early voting and shall be published
on the same day in each of two(2) successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the City,the
first of these publications to appear in such newspaper not more than thirty (30) days, and not less than
fourteen(14) full days prior to Election Day. In addition, during the twenty-one (21) days prior to
Election Day, the City shall, in a prominent manner, maintain such notice on its Internet website. The
City Secretary is directed to post and publish such Special Election notices as specified above and as
required by the Election Laws.
SECTION 9. As required by and in accordance with Section 3.009(b)(5) and (7)through(9) of
the Texas Election Code, added by the 83rd Texas Legislature, the City, as of its fiscal year beginning
October 1,2017,had outstanding an aggregate ad valorem tax-supported principal amount of debt equal
to $480,202,841; the aggregate amount of the interest owed on such City debt obligations, through
respective maturity, totaled $158,058,750; and the City levied an ad valorem debt service tax rate for its
outstanding debt obligations of$0.229458 per$100 of taxable assessed valuation. Of the aforementioned
City debt,the City considers$135,627,159 and $33,164,060 of that principal and interest,respectively,to
be self-supporting debt payable from sources other than ad valorem taxes. The City estimates an ad
valorem debt service tax rate of$0.249458 per $100 of taxable assessed valuation if the bonds that are
subject of the Special Election are approved and are issued (taking into account the outstanding City
bonds and bonds that are the subject of the Special Election, but not future bond authorizations of the
City), though the City projects no tax rate increase for the issuance of bonds that are the subject of
Proposition A.This is only an estimate provided for Texas statutory compliance and does not serve as a cap
on any City ad valorem debt service tax rate.
SECTION 10. The Council hereby appoints the City Secretary as the authority and officer
responsible for the conduct of the Special Election and is hereby authorized and directed to make all
necessary arrangements for the holding of the Special Election in accordance with the Elections Laws,
which obligations include (but are not limited to) coordinating the Special Election process and
negotiating, entering into, and carrying out the terms and provisions of one or more joint election
agreements or contracts with the County and any Participants in accordance with the provisions of the
Election Code. To the extent that any duty or obligation of the City, in general, or the City Secretary, in
particular, is properly delegated to the County pursuant to a joint election agreement, then the County's
carrying out those duties and obligations on the City's behalf pursuant to the terms of such joint election
agreement shall be binding upon the City and are hereby determined by the Council to be evidence of the
City's compliance with the provisions of the Election Laws relative to the same.
In addition,the City Manager and the City Secretary, individually or in concert and as necessary
or desired,are hereby authorized and entitled to make such technical modifications to this Ordinance that
are necessary for compliance with applicable State or federal law (including the Election Laws) or to
carry out the intent of the Council,as evidenced herein.
SECTION 11. The recitals contained in the preamble hereof are hereby found to be true, and
such recitals are hereby made a part of this Ordinance for all purposes and are adopted as a part of the
judgment and findings of the Council.

SECTION 12. All ordinances and resolutions, or parts thereof, which are in conflict or
inconsistent with any provision of this Ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict, and
the provisions of this Ordinance shall be and remain controlling as to the matters ordained herein.

the State of Texas and the United States of America.
SECTION 14. If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or
circumstance shall be held to be invalid, the remainder of this Ordinance and the application of such
provision to other persons and circumstances shall nevertheless be valid, and this Council hereby declares
that this Ordinance would have been enacted without such invalid provision.

Ordinance was adopted was open to the public and public notice of the time, place, and subject matter of
the public business to be considered at such meeting, including this Ordinance,was given, all as required
