Here’s how Williamson County voted on local propositions, races

Williamson County voters had two county props to consider, as well as some city props, depending on where they live.

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas — On Election Day, Central Texans weighed in on state and local propositions.

Williamson County voters had two county props to consider, as well as some city props, depending on where they live.

Williamson County Props A and B

Proposition A, which was the bigger of the two Williamson County props, designated $825 million for roads, passed Tuesday. It includes 38 different projects all across the county.

One of the bigger projects would expand Ronald Reagan Boulevard by adding two lanes of traffic on the road from FM 3405 up to Sun City Boulevard.

Here is how Prop A appeared on voters' ballots:

"The issuance of $825,000,000 of bonds for roads and the levy of taxes sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the bonds."

Proposition B also passed. It designates $59 million for parks, trails and recreational improvements. It includes 14 proposed projects related to parkland acquisition, shared use paths and facility development projects associated with Berry Springs Park and Preserve, the Williamson County Expo Center and Twin Lakes Park. 

Here is how Prop B will appear on voters' ballots:

"The issuance of $59,000,000 of bonds for park and recreational purposes and the levy of taxes sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the bonds."

County officials say the passage of these two propositions is not estimated to increase the debt service rate. However, due to increases in property values, property owners might see an increase in their tax bills.

Georgetown Props A, B, C and D

All of the four separate bonds on Georgetown voters' ballots passed. Here is how those propositions appeared on ballots:

Prop A

"The issuance of $56,000,000 bonds by the City of Georgetown, Texas, for a city facility which includes a customer service center as well as other city services and the imposition of taxes sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds."

Prop B

"The issuance of $49,000,000 bonds by the City of Georgetown, Texas, for park and recreational projects for renovation and expansion of the Georgetown Recreation Center on Austin Avenue and the imposition of taxes sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds."

Prop C

"The issuance of $15,000,000 bonds by the City of Georgetown, Texas for animal shelter facilities to provide animal sheltering and control services to the City, which may include a joint arrangement with other local governmental entities to expand the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter and/or new or renovated city facilities and the imposition of taxes sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds."

Prop D

"The issuance of $10,000,000 bonds by the City of Georgetown, Texas, for a jointly owned YMCA Recreation Center operated by the YMCA of Central Texas, expected to be located at or near 6200 Williams Drive, Georgetown, Texas and the imposition of taxes sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds."

According to the City of Georgetown, all four of these bonds can be funded under the existing tax rate.

Jarrell Prop A

Voters in Jarrell approved one city proposition related to how sales taxes are spent in the city. 

Here is how Prop A appeared on Jarrell voters' ballots:

"The abolition of the additional sales and use tax within the City of Jarrell; and a sales and use tax is adopted within the City of Jarrell at the rate of one and one-half percent(1.5%). The total sales tax rate will not change."
