A Resolution of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona, canceling and vacating the May 20, 2025, Special Election, which called for the Special Election, in and for the City of San Luis, Arizona, for a primary (ad valorem) property tax; repealing conflicting provisions including Resolution 2351; and providing for severability.

SUMMARY:
On January 22nd, 2025, the City Council passed Resolution No. 2351, calling for a Special Election on May 20th, 2025, for the voters to determine whether the city should implement a primary (ad valorem) property tax.
