What is the PAC “Hays Families for Safe Mobility”?

The PAC “Hays Families for Safe Mobility” serves as a conduit for people/businesses/associations/civic organizations/etc to donate money that will be used to promote passage of the upcoming Nov Road Bond election.  Businesses can donate to a PAC set up for an issue but not to a candidate.  The treasurer for the PAC is Amy Parham.  The members of the advisory committee for the PAC are being selected now.

 

The PAC “Hays Families for Safe Mobility” has 2 requests - Please respond with a reply

1.    Can the PAC list you as a supporter for “Hays Families for Safe Mobility”?

2.    Would you like to serve on the advisory committee for “Hays Families for Safe Mobility”?

 

If you are frustrated with the traffic congestion in Hays County…Now is the time to get involved!

 

What is at stake? 
$133,000,000 of TxDOT PTFA funding for Hays County road improvements meant for more capacity…

§       Hays County signed the original PTFA (Pass Through Financing Agreement) with TxDOT back in August 2006 (Binding contract)

§       Hays County has yet to build any of the roads included in this contract

§       The current revised PTFA that Hays County signed in 2008 obliges Hays County to front/fund $155,800,000 with revenue bonds

§       TxDOT will pay back Hays County $133,200,000 in 14 to 20 years

§       Net cost to Hays County for 5 major road improvements to increase capacity….$22,600,000

§       If the November road bond fails there will not be any funding available to pay for the PTFA commitment and TxDOT most likely will rescind the $133,000,000

 

The next TRAFFIC REPORT will outline the PTFA roads in detail and will attempt to decipher what additional Non-PTFA roads will be included on the Nov Road Bond

Hays County Court has until August 26 Tuesday to decide which additional non-PTFA roads from each precinct will be on the bond and to decide how the road bond will be presented on the ballot

 

Please reply regarding your commitment to either be listed as a supporter and/or if you want to serve on the “Advisory Committee” for the PAC “Hays Families for Safe Mobility”

 

All are welcome to forward this email to other individuals or groups.  All are encouraged to validate/confirm the information provided.  If there are factual errors please reply.
