TITLE:

Discuss potential bond projects for the November 2022 election

DESIRED OUTCOME:

Direction from City Council on any bond projects that need to be removed from further consideration. 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Citizen Bond Committee has been considering the three potential bond measure categories supported by the City Council in April of 2021.  Some bond projects have been removed from the list because alternate funding has been received. City staff will review the bond projects removed from the list and determine, with City Council direction, if any other bond projects need to be removed from further consideration.  

INFORMATION:

The City Council discussed the potential of including general obligation bonds in the November 2022 election during the Council Budget Retreat in April 2021.  The majority of City Council supported infrastructure (public safety, stormwater, and wastewater), Housing, and Climate Action for potential bond measure categories.  City Council provided direction to the City Manager to create a Citizen Bond Committee to further consider these three bond measure categories and to come back to City Council with a recommendation. 

The Citizen Bond Committee was created in December 2021.  The committee members have heard presentations on all of the projects associated with Infrastructure, Housing, and Climate Action.  They have received input from the Flagstaff residents about what is important to them.  The committee members will now begin to work towards the creation of the Council recommendation.  The goal of this conversation is to ensure the committee members have any updates to the list of potential bond projects as they begin their deliberations.
