Prior to the Nov. 5, 2024 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 5 p.m., Arizona time on Aug. 7, 2024.

The questions are as follows:

Proposition No. 487: A measure referred to the people by the City Council of the City of Flagstaff to continue the collection of the City Lodging, Restaurant and Lounge (BBB) Transaction Privilege Tax at the existing rate of 2% for an additional period commencing on April 1, 2029, through June 30, 2043.

Each argument filed shall not exceed 300 words and must contain the sworn statement of each person sponsoring it; if the argument is submitted by an organization, it shall contain the sworn statement of two executive officers of the organization or if submitted by a political committee it shall contain the sworn statement of the committee’s chairman or treasurer. If the argument is submitted by an individual and not on behalf of an organization, a political committee or any other group, the person shall submit the argument with a sworn, notarized statement. The person or persons signing the argument shall identify themselves by giving their residence address and a telephone number, which shall not appear in the pamphlet. Any argument that is submitted that does not comply with these requirements may not be included in the pamphlet.

Arguments to either of these questions must be submitted to Stacy Saltzburg, City Clerk, electronically at cofelections@flagstaffaz.gov before 5 p.m., Arizona time on Aug. 7, 2024.

Please contact the City Clerk at 928-213-2076 with questions. For more information, visit flagstaff.az.gov/2105/Elections.
