FLAGSTAFF — Prior to the Nov. 3, 2020 election, each household with a registered voter will receive an informational pamphlet that includes arguments for and against proposed questions that have a local impact. Any person interested in submitting an argument is required to do so before August 5, 2020.
The questions are as follows:
- Question 1: Consideration of an extension of a Transaction Privilege (Sales) Tax, excluding the tax on food, at the existing rate of 1% ($0.01) commencing November 5, 2024, through June 30, 2035, in order to fund local government operations.
Arguments, both for and against, are limited to 300 words and must contain the sworn statement of each person sponsoring it. If the argument is sponsored by an organization, it shall contain the sworn statement of two executive officers of the organization. If sponsored by a political committee, it shall contain the sworn statement of the committee’s chairman or treasurer. The person or persons signing the argument shall identify themselves by giving their residence or post office address and a telephone number. This information will not appear in the pamphlet.
Arguments to either of the two questions must be submitted to Stacy Saltzburg, City Clerk, electronically at stacy.saltzburg@flagstaffaz.gov before 4 p.m., Arizona time on August 5, 2020.
Please contact the City Clerk at 928-213-2076 with questions. For more information, visit https://www.flagstaff.az.gov/4177/August-PrimarySpecial-Election.
