Vote YES! on the GO Bond
to Protect Our Key Biscayne Paradise
On Tuesday, November 3, 2020 residents of the Village of Key Biscayne will have the opportunity to vote on whether the Village Council will be able to issue general obligation bonds when the time comes to fund resiliency projects.
This vote is NOT an approval to borrow any money. This vote will NOT result in the issuance of any bonds. An infrastructure project will still need to be approved by Village Council with a 4-3 vote. Then the approved project will have to be approved for financing by Village Council with a 5-2 vote, the same process that exists today.
A YES vote simply gives our Village Council the ability to use general obligation bonds (up to the debt cap) to fund planned resiliency projects at the most favorable financing costs and terms.
A YES vote will help us build a resilient future for the Village of Key Biscayne and strengthen our Island Paradise against current and future climate-related threats for both condos and homes. We are one island, one community.
