PROPOSAL SUBMITTED BY THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEDONA OFFICIAL TITLE: A RESOLUTION PROPOSING AN EXTENSION OF THE ALTERNATIVE EXPENDITURE LIMITATION (HOME RULE OPTION) FOR THE CITY OF SEDONA. DESCRIPTIVE TITLE: Pursuant to the Arizona State Constitution, this proposal continues the alternative expenditure limitation (home rule option) for the City of Sedona for the next four years. Annually, after a public hearing, City Council will determine the amount of the alternative expenditure limitation (home rule option) replacing the state-imposed expenditure limitation. A “YES” vote shall have the effect of extending the alternative expenditure limitation (home rule option) for the City of Sedona. A “NO” vote shall have the effect of not allowing the City of Sedona to extend the alternative expenditure limitation (home rule option) and to require expenditures of the City to be limited by the state-imposed expenditure limit.

Despite concentrated efforts by a handful or residents in 2018 and 2022 to end home rule, passage remains relatively consistent from one election to the next:
