DESIRED OUTCOME:

This presentation is informational only.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The following is an update on the City's community outreach to educate Flagstaff voters about Proposition 419 - Transportation, Proposition 420 - Lone Tree Railroad Overpass, Proposition 421 - Transit, and Proposition 422 - Housing Affordability.

Proposition 419 - Transportation Tax: Consideration of the continuation of a levy of a transportation sales tax at the same cumulative rate of 0.426% as the current taxes to be in effect for a period of 21 years beginning July 1, 2020, for roadway, pedestrian, bicycle and safety improvements, and authorizing the incurrence of debt to accelerate such purposes.

Proposition 420 - Lone Tree Railroad Overpass: Consideration of a levy of a sales tax at a rate of 0.23% to be in effect for a period of 20 years commencing July 1, 2019, for the design, construction and maintenance of the Lone Tree Railroad Overpass from Butler Avenue to Route 66, and authorizing the incurrence of debt to accelerate such purposes.

Proposition 421 - Transit: Consideration of a levy of a sales tax at a rate of 0.15% to be in effect for a period of 11 years beginning July 1, 2020, for increasing transit services within the City of Flagstaff.

Proposition 422 - Housing Affordability: Consideration of the sale and issuance of general obligation bonds in a principal amount up to $25,000,000 for the purpose of increasing the number of housing units affordable for more residents in the City by construction, rehabilitation, redevelopment and acquisition of land for housing units; and the related infrastructure; for the purpose of assisting more Flagstaff residents to afford housing by making loans and grants for the construction, rehabilitation, redevelopment and acquisition of housing units; and the related infrastructure; to pay all costs and expenses properly incidental thereto and to the issuance and sale of bonds.

INFORMATION:

The City's outreach is focused entirely on education and does not advocate a position on the propositions. The City is working closely with the Northern Arizona Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority (NAIPTA) to combine our educational outreach efforts as much as possible. This joint coordination is an effective strategy which will enhance and streamline presentations and outreach.
