The voters of the Town of Snowflake 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 Council of Snowflake voted to approve the proposed Alternative Expenditure Limitation – Home Rule Option at its special meeting on March 19, 2024. The council voted 4 for and 0 against, with 3 absent.
At the primary election to be held on July 30, 2024, the citizens of the Town of Snowflake will vote on a proposed Alternative Expenditure Limitation – Home Rule Option.
With voter approval, the town 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 FY 2024-2025, the State-imposed limitation plus applicable Constitutional exclusions would allow expenditures of $6,465,270. Under the proposed Alternative Expenditure Limitation – Home Rule Option, we estimate revenue and expenditures of $20,000,000.
If the voters approve, the additional expenditure authority will be used for all local budgetary purposes including general government, public safety, and public works. Revenues received from Federal, State, and local sources will be used to fund such expenditures.
By order of the Town Council of Snowflake.
