Flagstaff Commission on Inclusion & Adaptive Living Meeting - September 23, 2026

The City of Flagstaff's Commission on Inclusion & Adaptive Living held a meeting on September 23, 2026, which included a detailed presentation on two public safety ballot measures, Propositions 404 and 405. City officials and emergency service leaders discussed the need for increased funding to support fire, police, aircraft rescue, and emergency management services due to community growth and rising operational demands. The measures propose a 0.5 cent sales tax and a $40 million bond to fund personnel, equipment, facilities, and technology upgrades. The sales tax is projected to generate approximately $18.2 million annually over 15 years, with a portion paid by visitors, while the bond would finance capital improvements without increasing current property tax rates. The commission also discussed outreach opportunities related to these measures, including participation in the Northern Arizona Disability Resource Fair. Additionally, the meeting covered administrative items such as rescheduling upcoming meetings, ADA transition plan priorities, and community event updates. No contract awards or vendor selections were reported during this session.
