Expanded information about the May 2 Bond and Charter Elections is now available online, including an interactive map of proposed bond projects and a complete list of all 50 proposed City Charter amendments. The elections were called during the Council’s Feb. 9 regular meeting and reflect separate but parallel processes focused on City governance and long-term infrastructure investment.
About the Bond Election
Voters will consider five propositions totaling $223.4 million to fund infrastructure, public safety and parks and recreation projects across the city, with no anticipated increase to the property tax rate. Development of the bond program followed months of public briefings, community feedback and two public hearings.
About the Charter Election
The 2026 Charter Amendment Election’s proposed amendments for voters to consider (each separately), include technical adjustments as well as new provisions related to governance and transparency. The City’s Charter is amended every 10 years; the amendments were compiled by a citizen Charter Review Commission with input from the community, City staff and City Council.
