AUSTIN, Texas — Austin city leaders held a community meeting on Saturday to gather feedback from Austinites about what they want to see in the city’s 2026 bond package.

It is one of several listening sessions the task force , which will craft the bond proposal to be recommended to the city council, is holding over the next week. Saturday's meeting took place at the Gus Garcia Recreation Center.

“We've been hearing a lot of presentations from departments and getting information and project lists, but now we want to hear from the community about what they think about the proposed project list that the city is developing,” Bond Election Advisory Task Force Vice Chair Francis Jordan said. “We want to hear if the project sounds good to them. Do they not sound good?”
