The City of Phoenix has scheduled an additional 2023 General Obligation (GO) Bond Executive Committee Meeting specifically dedicated to public comment. The meeting will take place on Wednesday, September 14, 2022, at 6 p.m. at Phoenix City Council Chambers and will also be streamed on YouTube and PHXTV (Cox cable channel 11).
Residents interested in speaking at this meeting can sign up to speak in person or virtually at phoenix.gov/bond/meetings . Spanish interpretation services will also be available. The additional meeting will be for public comment ONLY and the Executive Committee will not be discussing or taking action on projects currently being discussed among the eight subcommittees: Arts & Culture, Economic Development and Education, Environment & Sustainability, Housing, Human Services & Homelessness, Neighborhoods & City Services, Parks & Recreation, Public Safety, and Streets & Storm Drainage.
Residents can also engage with the City on social media by using the #GOPHX2023, or by using the interactive GOPHXTOOL, an online tool available in English and Spanish that allows residents to tell the GO Bond Committee which projects they would like to see recommended to City Council. Residents may also call or submit comments electronically.
How the 2023 GO Bond Program Project Selection Process Works
Subcommittees will receive presentations about proposed projects from City departments, hear from the public, then rank in priority order projects to be recommended to the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is charged with making project recommendations within the approved scope of $500M to be considered by City Council. The City Council will then decide if a GO Bond Program will go to the voters. If approved by Council, voters will ultimately choose whether or not to adopt the GO Bond Program in November 2023.
Committee meetings began in August 2022 and are currently scheduled to continue through November 2022. Meetings are open to the public for comment. For more information visit the GO Bond Program website at Phoenix.gov/bond.
