apping Maricopa’s Future M through the General Plan Update
GOVERNMENT
Budget breakdown
What is the General Plan?
The General Plan is our community’s roadmap for the next 10–20 years! It shapes how the City of Maricopa will grow, move, live, and thrive. It includes shared vision statements, maps, goals, and policies that guide decisions on land use, housing, transportation, public safety, parks and recreation, the environment and more.
5 YEARS OF BUDGETED CITY EXPENDITURES
Arizona Revised Statutes require that once a city council approves the annual budget, a city may no longer increase its budgeted expenditures in any way for the entire fiscal year. The City of Maricopa budgets conservatively to plan for all expected expenditures and capital projects, as well as budgeting for any expenditures or projects that may potentially occur. In short, the city will very likely never spend the entirety of its full budget each year, and retains the flexibility to prioritize its expenditures and key projects accordingly and in compliance with state law.” MATT KOZLOWSKI, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, CITY OF MARICOPA
What is the current status of the update?
We’ve hosted two community workshops and a survey— your input is shaping the first draft of the General Plan Update!
Considering how volatile it can be year to year, and what the state takes away in terms of revenue opportunity, at some point we have to seriously look at not reducing property tax.” NANCY SMITH, MARICOPA MAYOR
Next Steps?
