Capital Improvements
Capital Improvement Certificate of Obligation (CO), July 2020 $1,500,000
Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) address Nolanville’s long-term needs in the form of street repairs, drainage improvements, parks, other public utilities and facilities. These projects are typically scheduled over several years to address the City’s ability to pay for the improvements. Capital Improvement Projects are relatively expensive and non-recurring, periodically these improvements are financed with Bonds or Certificates of Obligation.
The 2020 Obligation will primarily fund road construction. A 20% match is required for TxDOT Livability Project "Nolanville Park Connectivity" (concepts of the project are shown above). The project extends from 10th Street along Avenue H and the entire length of Mesquite Street. The total project is estimated at $1.5 million, the City's Match is $300,000 (funded through CO plus engineering (funded through Street Maintenance Fund.)
The remaining portion of the CO is planned for reconstructing the remainder of Avenue H to Jackrabbit, a portion of the side streets in the plaza and engineering for Old Nolanville Bridge and East/West Tributaries

In March 2017, a Public Works Bond (7 Year) was issued for $500,000, intended for various projects involving Road & Drainage Improvements. Below is a summary of these efforts:
Red Leaf Drainage: This problem was identified and engineered in 2016. It was ready to bid for construction and completed the Summer of 2017.
Park Road, Elm and West Dogwood Drainage & Road Reconstruction: Solving the drainage issues on these roads was the main focus of the Bond. Residents were notified and asked to park on the streets during critical times of the road reconstruction. There were several fences obstructing drainage and maintenance, the City is coordinating with owners to remove them temporarily and replace with flow through design. Park road is also carved out. Substantial completion is just around the corner.
Blue Bonnet Spillway: Construction was completed April 2019.
