Public Notice – Home Rule Option – Council Vote

Public Notice

The voters of the Town of Huachuca City in 2020 adopted an Alternative Expenditure Limitation – Home Rule Option. The purpose of this election is for the continued use of the Alternative Expenditure Limitation – Home Rule Option.

Pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-563.01, the Town of Huachuca City Council voted to approve the proposed Alternative Expenditure Limitation – Home Rule Option at its regular meeting on June 27, 2024. The council vote was 6 For and 0 Against.

At the general election to be held on November 5, 2024, the citizens of the Town of Huachuca City will vote on a proposed Alternative Expenditure Limitation – Home Rule Option.

With voter approval, the Town of Huachuca City expenditures each year shall be limited to the estimated available revenues whether such expenditures are less than or exceed the State-imposed limit. As an example, in FY26, the State-imposed limitation plus applicable Constitutional exclusions would allow expenditures of $4,261,233. Under the proposed Alternative Expenditure Limitation – Home Rule Option, we estimate revenue and expenditures of $10,198,000.

If the voters approve, the additional expenditure authority will be used for all local budgetary purposes including general government, public safety (police and fire), streets construction and maintenance, sanitation pickup, wastewater, water, other public works activities, landfill, and capital projects. Revenues received from Federal, State, and local sources will be used to fund such expenditures. (The Town of Huachuca City property tax amount shall continue to be limited to the amount prescribed in the Arizona State Constitution.)

By order of the City/Town Council of Town of Huachuca City.
