City launches community bond survey | elections

DAILY SUN STAFF

The City of Flagstaff is conducting a Community Bond Survey to gather feedback from Flagstaff residents on which potential bond packages are most important to them for the 2022 election. The survey will be available online from March 17 through March 31. If members of the public need help accessing the internet to complete the online survey, they can visit the Flagstaff City-Coconino County Public Library Downtown location (300 West Aspen Ave.) or East Flagstaff Community Library (3000 N 4th Street, Ste 5). Paper copies are available at City Hall and both libraries.

The survey is available at https://s.alchemer.com/s3/FlagstaffBondSurvey

The issuing of bonds is a common investment tool used by many local governments. Bond monies may be used to pay for things like infrastructure improvements or to fund community priorities. In this survey, citizens can expect to answer questions about the public infrastructure bond projects, which includes wastewater and stormwater projects, public safety equipment such as fire engines, emergency radio equipment, and more. There are also housing and climate action related questions to support the emergency declarations that council has approved previously.

Public participation in this survey will help city staff be more efficient in their preparation of bond measures for the upcoming election cycle.

“We’re doing this survey to help the citizen committee who’s been put together by Council’s direction, to give them feedback so that they can see what folks think are important,” said deputy city manager Shannon Anderson. “If folks don’t think it’s important, then we have to decide if that’s something we want to still pursue even though the community might not be interested or feel that that is a good use of those funds.”
