Ballot title

The ballot title for Question 2 was as follows:

Shall the City of Chandler, Arizona, be authorized to issue and sell general obligation bonds of the city in the principal amount not exceeding $88,000,000 to provide funding for public safety and fire facilities and improvements, related equipment, vehicles, technology and communication systems?  Projects may include, but are not limited to, those intended to:

  • Construct a new city fire station and related public safety facilities,
  • Repair and renovate existing city fire stations and related public safety facilities, and
  • Acquire emergency vehicles which may include fire engines and ladder trucks.

Generated funds will be sued to pay for all necessary design, acquisition, construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair, renovation, equipment and installation and associated costs including the acquisition of land or interests therein necessary for such. 

These bonds will be issued as general obligation bonds and the issuance of these bonds will result in a property tax increase sufficient to pay the annual debt service on bonds, unless the governing body provides for payment from other sources.

A 'YES' vote shall authorize the City of Chandler governing body to issue and sell $88,000,000 of general obligation bonds of the City of Chandler to be repaid with secondary property taxes.

A 'NO' vote shall not authorize the City of Chandler governing body to issue and sell such bonds of the City of Chandler.
