On June 7, 2022, the Mayor and City Council approved moving forward with a proposed General Obligation (GO) Bond program of $500 million. GO Bond programs help to fund critical infrastructure and rehabilitation needs of City facilities such as parks, libraries, fire and police stations, affordable housing, streets and storm drains. The City Council appointed a citizen's GO Bond Committee on June 1, 2022 to evaluate and prioritize proposed projects, and develop a GO Bond Program recommendation. The committee concluded their work on November 14, 2022.
The GO Bond Recommendations were presented to and approved by the City Council on December 13, 2022.
On June 14, 2023, the Mayor and City Council voted to propose four GO Bond questions to voters during a Special Election in November 2023. These questions total $500 million, pursuant to the recommendations of the citizen's GO Bond Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee's recommendations from the Public Safety and Streets & Storm Drainage program areas are included in Question Number 1: Enhance Community Safety through Fire, Police, Roadway and Pedestrian Infrastructure.
Recommendations from the Neighborhoods & City Services and Parks & Recreation program areas are included in Question Number 2: Improve Quality of Life in Phoenix Neighborhoods.
Recommendations from the Arts & Culture, Economic Development & Education, and Environment & Sustainability program areas are included in Question Number 3: Create an Efficient, Modern Phoenix to Live and Work.
Finally, recommendations from the Housing, Human Services & Homelessness program area are included in Question Number 4: Enhance, Preserve and Increase the Supply of Affordable Housing and Senior Centers.
