What is a proposition, and how does it relate to the bond program?

Under state law, the City is required to divide the bond program projects so that voters can consider one type of purpose or project at the time of casting their votes. The propositions are what appear on the voters' ballots, and each proposition involves all the projects that serve the same common, overarching single purpose such as fire safety or streets and transportation. If a proposition passes, the City must use the proceeds from the sale of the bonds for the purposes stated in that approved proposition.
