Staff Reports

The recently reconstituted Hays County Parks and Open Space Advisory Commission (POSAC) is seeking additional new ideas and project recommendations. The group, convened in 2020 by Hays County Commissioners Court to establish the viability of a parks, open space and conservation bond program, provided recommendations that might be funded by the Hays County Proposition A, Parks & Open Space Bond on the November 2020 ballot. The bond was passed with a 70 percent voter approval.

All current and newly submitted projects should be consistent with the goals and priorities set forth in the 2012 Hays County Parks, Open Space and Natural Areas Master Plan. Visit the County’s website https://bit. ly/3ufd1s5 to learn more.

The categorical language of Proposition A is meant to address four project types:

Urban Parks,

Conservation and Open Space,

Connectivity, and

Water Quality Protection and Flood Mitigation.

Any project may meet the goals of one or more of these categories, depending on its unique characteristics.
