On March 12, 2019, City of Hollywood voters passed a General Obligation Bond (GO Bond) during a Special Election to fund a variety of city-wide public improvement projects totaling $165 million (election results posted at the end of this page). The GO Bonds will cover city-wide improvements in three broad categories:
- Public Safety Facilities, Technology and Equipment - $78 million
- Parks, Open Space, Recreational and Cultural Facilities - $64 million
- Neighborhood Improvements, Infrastructure and Resiliency - $23 million
With input from the community and an assessment of city-wide needs, a list of projects was created to be funded using bonds dollars. A Design and Construction Management team was assembled and projects are now underway.
Below is a table of projects with details and the latest status updates. Project status updates and other information related to each project will be updated regularly.

How Have These Projects Been Funded?
The GO Bond improvement projects were funded through a General Obligation Bond (GO Bond). A GO Bond is one way cities fund major construction projects such as roads, parks, drainage, and/or buildings. They were backed by the full faith and credit of the City. The GO Bond will be a 25 year bond that would be repaid through an additional percentage on your property tax bill. General Obligation Bonds require voter approval. All the money will be spend right here in Hollywood.
Why Was a GO Bond Proposed?
The City of Hollywood maintains more than 85 facilities and parks, 400+ miles of streets and alleys, 301 miles of sidewalks and 5+ miles of beach. Each year the City adopts a 5-year plan to address large scale maintenance projects, renovations and construction of new facilities. This allows the City to plan funding for maintenance of its basic infrastructure such as street resurfacing, sidewalk repair, facility upkeep, etc. After more than a year of public input, needs assessments, and cost analysis, many significant projects in all areas of the City were identified as important to improve the safety and quality of life for Hollywood residents. GO Bonds are a cost-effective way for cities to pay for major projects like these.
The City uses various sources of funding to pay for the projects. Such funding sources include:
• Taxes
• Debt Financing (borrowing money)
• Licenses
• Permit Fees
• Charges for Services
• State and Federal Grants
Even with these sources of revenue, the City currently does not have available funds to complete many proposed improvement projects. Debt financing has been the primary mechanism for paying for large, City-wide projects. The interest and principal (debt service) on debt financed projects is repaid by the General Fund Operating Budget over a period of time. The City has the ability to pay for debt financing but, if you add in paying for the annual debt service too, that figure limits the amount of funding available for capital improvement projects in any one year. Bond financing allows cities to spread the cost for large projects out over many years.
When Can I See The Results of the GO Bond?
The bonds will be issued in two phases: Phase 1 of $70 million dollars was issued in September 2019, and will fund the majority of the GO Bond projects. The Phase 2 issuance of the remaining $90 million dollars is planned for 2021 and will fund construction of the new Police Headquarters and the Orangebrook Golf and Country Club Revitalization project.
All areas of the City will see improvements.
What Areas Will Be Impacted?
All areas of the City will see improvements.
