Documents below include the recommendations from the Fiscal Capacity Committee to the City Council on the proposed GO Bond Program scope of $500M and the results of the Capital Needs Study completed by City Staff. Community Feedback reports are also included below, and include comments received from residents through email, voicemail, and from the GOPHX interactive tool. Project needs identified through the Capital Needs Study represent the starting point for the GO Bond Committee's work in developing a recommended GO Bond Program for the City Council, and ultimately for voter authorization. Prioritized Projects represent, in staff's estimation, the most urgent needs identified by City departments, while offering a balance among the City's service categories. Future Capital Needs represent projects that were determined to be less urgent than the Prioritized Capital Needs, or projects that may be better suited for deferral to a future GO bond program.
Subcommittees were tasked with evaluating and prioritizing projects identified in the Capital Needs Study, along with any other project ideas submitted by the community. Subcommittee recommendations were advanced to the Executive Committee to formulate a program recommendation for the City Council. The City Council's proposed program would ultimately be considered by voters.
On November 7, 2023 Phoenix voters passed the City Council approved $500 million General Obligation (GO) Bond Program.
