The City Council submitted two bond questions for Avondale voters to consider in a special election this November. Bonds are a secure and fiscally responsible way for cities to finance large capital projects like parks, public safety facilities, and libraries.




Proposition 404 – Parks, Trails, and Libraries

Avondale voters are being asked to authorize up to $68 million in general obligation bonds to provide funding for parks, recreation and library projects. Quality parks and amenities help protect your property values and improve our ability to attract and retain residents and businesses.


Prop 404 invests in parks and quality of life including:

  • New Park Shade and Shade Expansion
  • Park and Parking Improvements
  • Trail System Improvements
  • Civic Center Library Improvements



Proposition 405 – Public Safety

Avondale voters are being asked to authorize up to $55 million in general obligation bonds to provide funding for public safety facility improvements projects and training facilities. Building additional public safety facilities will help reduce response times citywide and ensure our first responders are highly trained.


Prop 405 invests in public safety including:

  • Southern Avondale Fire/Police Substation
  • New Public Safety Headquarters
  • Police Firearms Training Facility
  • Main Police Station Expansion
  • City Court Office Expansion

Investing in Avondale without raising the property tax rate

The City of Avondale is committed to keeping taxes stable and has crafted these two bond proposals to invest in infrastructure without raising the City’s overall property tax rate. The City will issue new bonds as old bonds are paid off. Stable property values and continued growth will maintain the current City property tax rate.
