Prop 497 and Prop 498 will appear on the 2024 General Election ballot for Gilbert voters this fall. Both propositions are related to the state-imposed expenditure limit.
The propositions will allow for:
A Permanent Base Adjustment to the town's current expenditure limit;
A Capital Projects Accumulation Fund exemption that would exclude capital improvement projects from the expenditure limit .
Voters do not have to choose one or the other but can approve both questions.
Approval of these two items is not a tax increase and will not change Gilbert’s revenues. Gilbert will still be required to have a balanced budget each year.
The Gilbert Clerk’s Office is accepting pro/con arguments for the general election publicity pamphlet through 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2024.
Arguments cannot exceed 300 words in length.
Must contain a sworn statement with the original signature(s) of each person sponsoring the argument.
Must include the address and phone number for each signer. This information will not be printed in the pamphlet.
A payment of $200.00 per argument is required to offset a portion of the cost of paper and printing the pamphlet. To pay online, please submit payment here.
Pro/Con arguments must be submitted by the deadline via email to ClerksOffice#@gilbertaz.gov, or submitted to the Gilbert Town Clerk’s Office at 50 E. Civic Center, Gilbert, AZ 85296.
The 2024 General Election will be held Nov. 5, 2024.
