Steve Stoler, Plano's media relations director, said the City Council set the May general and bond election for May 3.

Stoler said the last day to register to vote is April 3 and early voting will run April 22 through April 29. "Voters will decide 4 council positions, including mayor. They'll also vote on a $648,000,000 bond referendum," he said, listing street improvements, public safety facilities, fleet operation facilities, library facilities and parks and recreation facilities as the referendum's categories.

The announcement frames the May election as the moment when Plano voters will also decide on the bond package that city officials described in the news segment. The newscast did not provide a city ordinance or resolution number for the action or a vote tally from the City Council setting the election date.

The City Council's action to set the election date was reported in the newscast; additional details about the bond package — such as project-level allocations, tax impact estimates or implementing ordinances — were not specified in the broadcast. For more information about registration, polling and the bond measure, the newscast directed residents to plano.gov.
