After hearing from just one person concerning its intention to issue $700,000 in General Obligation Bonds to support construction of a community wellness center, the Clear Lake City Council moved ahead with its proposed partnership with the school district for the project.

The Clear Lake Community School District has planned a series of public information meetings to discuss details on its upcoming bond referendum.

On March 3, the district is seeking passage of $18 million in general obligation bonds to fund several school projects, as well as a community wellness center which would be built in partnership with the City of Clear Lake.

In addition to the wellness center, the bond issue will include projects at each school building, as well as Lions Field.
