Dallas County board to consider up to $7.51 million in local-option sales-tax bonds

The Dallas County Board of Supervisors’ Aug. 26, 2026 agenda lists consideration of issuing up to $7,510,000 in local-option sales and service tax (LOST) bonds, with the item described as "DISC/ACTION RE: NOT TO EXCEED $7,510,000 LOCAL OPTION SALES & SERVICE TAX BONDS." The agenda signals the board will hold discussion and may take formal action on the measure during the meeting.

Two resolutions tied to the bond item are named on the agenda. Resolution 2026-0110 is listed as "authorizing bond issuance," and Resolution 2026-0111 is listed as "approving first supplemental trust agreement with UMB Bank, N.A., appointing paying agent, bond registrar, & transfer agent, & authorizing the execution of the agreement." The agenda does not record any vote totals or indicate that either resolution has been approved; both are presented as items for the board to consider.

The listed trust agreement names UMB Bank, N.A. as the proposed paying agent, bond registrar and transfer agent. The agenda does not specify interest rates, repayment schedules, or what projects the bonds would fund; those details would typically appear in staff reports or the resolutions if offered for final action at the meeting.

The agenda header identifies the board membership as Brad Golightly, Julia Helm and Kim Chapman. No staff presentations or public comments related to the bond item appear in the provided agenda text. The agenda frames the bond measure as a discrete item for discussion and possible action at the Aug. 26 meeting.
