City Council wants to be more 'nimble' with large capital improvement projects by sending fewer to voters
Carlsbad voters could be asked in November whether to change Proposition H, a ballot measure they approved in 1982 that requires a citywide vote on most projects costing more than $1 million. The City Council asked for more information Tuesday on a proposed new limit, exemptions and other details to be brought back at their June 11 meeting. The deadline is Aug. 9 to include the issue in this fall's general election.
They asked for more information about things such as any expected projects that could be affected by the measure to be presented at their June 11 meeting. The $1 million limit set more than 40 years ago would equal about $3.25 million in today's dollars. The limit primarily covers the purchase of property or improvements to existing property paid for with city tax revenue, and excludes projects funded by other sources such as the in-lieu fees paid by developers.
