Flagstaff Community First, a broad coalition of organizations (including F3) and individuals advocating for accessible, quality health care in Flagstaff and the region, will deliver of over 4,800 signatures to the City Clerk (on July 6) to place a referendum on the ballot.
The referendum will allow the public to weigh in on City Council’s June 6 rezoning decision that gave Northern Arizona Healthcare the go-ahead to move the hospital from the center of town. Flagstaff Community First launched the petition drive in order to refer the zoning decision to a vote of the public.
To place the referendum on the ballot, Flagstaff Community First was required to collect 2,607 valid signatures within a 30-day period. Over 100 volunteers circulated petitions.
Representatives of Flagstaff Community First will be gathering in front of City Hall on July 6 at 12:30 to speak and then deliver the petitions to the City Clerk.
The City Clerk will then begin the certification process. Once certified, the referendum question will appear on the ballot in November.
Many thanks to all the F3 members and Flagstaff citizens who volunteered in this effort!

Executive Director
