What happened
Flagstaff voters will consider two local propositions: Proposition 404 and Proposition 405. Proposition 404 would increase the city’s local sales tax by 0.5%, which is an extra $0.50 on a $100 purchase. Proposition 405 would authorize the city to issue $40 million in general obligation bonds, to be repaid using the city’s existing secondary property tax.

Why it matters
The propositions aim to increase funding for police, fire, emergency management, and airport rescue services in Flagstaff. Revenue from the sales tax would primarily fund additional personnel, while the bond sale revenue would fund capital expenses such as construction or equipment.
