The Town Council of Quartzsite, Arizona will hold two (2) public hearings pursuant to A.R.S. §41.4563.01 to take public comment on the proposed adoption of the Alternative Expenditure Limitation – Permanent Base Adjustment.

 

The Public Hearing Dates:

Tuesday, April 9, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. – Regular Town Council Meeting

Tuesday, April 23, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. – Regular Town Council Meeting

 

Public Hearings will be held at Town Hall in the Council Chambers located at 465 N. Plymouth Ave., Quartzsite AZ 85346.

 

In November 2023, the voters passed the issue of a One-Time Override for an Alternative Expenditure Limitation for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 to begin July 1, 2024.

 

The Town of Quartzsite Mayor and Council would like to propose a more permanent alternative expenditure limitation at the General Election to be held on November 5, 2024. This will give the voters the opportunity to choose a permanent expenditure limitation.

 

This will allow the Town to establish budgets according to local needs of revenues received (budgeted) rather than being subjected to the State-Imposed formula.

 

If the voters approve, the additional expenditure authority will be used for all local budgetary purposes including public safety, parks, recreation, library, utilities and public works streets and roads and general government. Revenues received from federal, state, and local sources will be used to fund such expenditures. This option, if adopted by the Town Council and approved by voters, will take effect July 1, 2025.
