DART officials review withdrawal city proposals as special election approaches
With several cities now considering withdrawal elections, DART and city officials are discussing city proposals that could lead cities to cancel their upcoming elections.
At their Jan. 27 meeting, DART officials reviewed proposals from Plano and other cities as part of ongoing talks over service levels, funding and governance. Plano officials have submitted two agreements that could lead the city to cancel its upcoming special election.
Since Plano City Council voted to call the special election, nearly half of DART’s 13 member cities have now scheduled withdrawal elections, including Highland Park, University Park, Irving, Farmers Branch and Addison.
Since calling the special election in November, Plano officials have submitted two formal proposals to DART that could lead the city to rescinding its withdrawal election if agreed upon.
