Bond question 1 deals with flood Ccntrol and water retention and is for $30 million.
The money would be invested in storm drains, pipes, inlets and catch basins to ensure safer roads and remove water during heavy rainfall and monsoons. It leverages Maricopa County Flood Control District matching funds to reduce costs and save taxpayer money.
Bond question 2 focuses on upgrading operations facilities that support city infrastructure maintenance and would be for $35 million.
The money would allow upgrades to the 50-year-old old Spring City Knitting Mill, the primary city operations facility. It will support functions including the maintenance of public safety vehicles, fuel stations, traffic signals, streetlights and street signs. These bonds will also fund health and safety repairs to aging municipal facilities, including HVAC upgrades, safety improvements and energy efficiency upgrades.
