<p>🗳️Voters have made their voices heard in the 2025 Bond Election. Join us as we sit down with Beaumont City Manager Kenneth Williams and Mayor Roy West for a post-election wrap up! Voters in the City of Beaumont have approved Proposition A of the City’s proposed $264.2 million General Obligation (GO) Bond package. The measure will fund critical improvements to infrastructure, drainage, streets, and sidewalks across the city, addressing long-term community needs and enhancing overall quality of life.</p><p>While other propositions and the proposed venue tax did not receive voter approval, the passage of Proposition A reflects the community’s shared commitment to investing in Beaumont’s core infrastructure and future growth.</p><p>Following certification of election results, the City will begin the process of issuing bonds related to Proposition A. Financial advisors and bond counsel will assist with structuring the bond sales, which may occur in phases based on project timelines and market conditions. All contracts for design, construction, and project delivery will be reviewed by the Beaumont City Council in a public setting to ensure transparency and accountability.For more information about Proposition A, visit <a href="http://www.beaumonttexas.gov/bond" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">beaumonttexas.gov/bond</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources</strong></p><p><strong></strong><a href="beaumonttexas.gov/firebuddies" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠beaumonttexas.gov/bond</a></p><p><a href="https://beaumonteventstx.com/event/city-of-beaumont-tree-lighting-2025/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Christmas Tree Lighting Info</a></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/dCwHYEYSJoI" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Ask Beau Info Video</a></p><p><a href="https://www.beaumonttexas.gov/civicalerts.aspx?aid=694" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Mayor Veterans Coalition Info</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapters:</strong></p><p>(01:33) Only Proposition A Passed</p><p>(03:45) Challenges with a Bond</p><p>(09:51) Government Mistrust</p><p>(12:08) Venue Tax</p><p>(12:22) What&#39;s Next?</p><p>(17:16) Intermission Announcements</p><p>(20:09) City Council Unity</p><p>(24:12) Community Feedback/Concerns</p><p>(29:11) Final Message From the Mayor and City Manager</p><p>(31:17) Outro &amp; Announcements</p><p><br></p><p><strong>You can stream the Beaumont Beat:</strong></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5Uwowu9lkfXeLdJZOuLLu0?si=d901502ac2304994" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGle0l22omk&list=PLV8ZcPi2dgKoHXAul8KAV8U2vsnlRzbDz" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠ Video⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beaumont-beat/id1699232433" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/70531111-f5fd-4105-b479-919232e1e12f/beaumont-beat" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon Music⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-beaumont-beat-148480356/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠iHeart⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://beaumonttexas.gov/podcast" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠City of Beaumont Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://beaumontbeat.buzzsprout.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV8ZcPi2dgKp0XOttu5BCdgeCEZkwe0DF" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><strong></strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Contact us at:</strong></p><p><a href="mailto:communications@beaumonttexas.gov" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠communications@beaumonttexas.gov⁠⁠</a></p>
