    Mayor Greg Stanton State of the City Address March 19, 2014 Annotated Version, as Prepared for Delivery (Updated March 25, 2014) Thank you, Todd Sanders, not only for such a nice introduction and hosting today’s event, but for serving as such a valuable partner as we work to grow our local economy. You serve your members well every single day. To my wife Nicole, I couldn’t ask for a better partner, Trevor and Violet couldn’t ask for a better mom, and our community couldn’t ask for a more spectacular advocate for protecting children than you. You make me so proud. Ed Zuercher, our new city manager – our newly permanent city manager – you’ve hit the ground running. You’re a breath of fresh air, a consummate professional, and I know we’re going to do great things together. And as the City faces tough budget decisions, I’m committed to work with you and our Council to lead the way to get it solved. Police Chief Daniel Garcia, when I highlighted the issue of school safety at this event last year, you responded. One year later, every Phoenix police officer who patrols during daytime hours has received the training they need to effectively respond to emergencies at our schools1 – and that’s because of your leadership. Acting Fire Chief Kara Kalkbrenner, you personify the excellence we’ve come to expect from the Phoenix Fire Department. You grew up in our city, worked your way up through the ranks, and I know you’ll do a great job.

  • Mayor Greg Stanton State of the City Address April 11, 2012 Prepared for Delivery
    Mayor Greg Stanton State of the City Address April 11, 2012 Prepared for Delivery Thank you. Welcome to everyone in the room here today. And welcome to those watching on the Internet – as we live stream the State of the City for the first time. Thanks to my wonderful wife Nicole for your support, encouragement, patience and for being such a dedicated mom to our two young children, Trevor and Violet. As Mayor, I have great teammates on the Phoenix city council. Each has entered public service for all the right reasons and each deserves recognition for what they do for our city – Vice Mayor Michael Johnson, Councilwoman Thelda Williams, and Councilmen Sal DiCiccio, Bill Gates, Michael Nowakowski, Tom Simplot, Daniel Valenzuela, and Jim Waring. As Mayor, I stand on the shoulders of great Mayors who came before me: John Driggs, Terry Goddard, Paul Johnson, Skip Rimsza, and Phil Gordon. Each of you has an outstanding legacy. To the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce – thank you for hosting today, and for being such strong leaders for our community. I want to give a very special welcome to someone. I believe our city needs a renewed commitment to community policing. The people of our city are safest when the Police Department has great relationships with neighborhood leaders, local businesses, schools and churches. That's why when I became Mayor, I knew we needed a Police Chief who shares these values. I believe we found that person. Let’s give a big Phoenix welcome to our new police chief, Daniel Garcia and his wife, Irma.

  • Phoenix 2015 Ballot Measure: Proposition 104
    Phoenix 2015 Ballot Measure: Proposition 104 Result: Approved by voters on August 26, 2015 Purpose: A 35-year plan, funded in part by a renewal and increase in the city transportation sales tax from 0.4 percent to 0.7 percent, to generate an anticipated $31.5 billion to fund local transportation projects. PHOENIX CITY PROPOSITION 104 (2015) Yes No 73,067 60,388 54.75% 45.25 % History and Condition of Phoenix’s Infrastructure Prior to the introduction of Proposition 104, Phoenix’s transportation infrastructure received its funding from a variety of sources. Two major legislative actions have outlined how Phoenix dispersed its transportation revenue. Proposition 400 Proposition 400, which passed on November 2, 2004 at a 58-42 margin, served as the primary funding source for much of Phoenix’s road system. The Proposition implemented a half-cent sales tax on all purchases within Maricopa County. Over the planned 20-year period that Proposition 400 was to take place, between 2006 and 2025, this tax increase was scheduled to raise $14.3 billion for the city’s transportation. This funding was mostly allocated to three important transportation schemes: 57 percent of revenue would fund highway development, 32 percent would fund public transit, and nine percent of revenue would fund maintenance of Phoenix’s “arterial street elements”, which were the most congestion-prone streets within Phoenix’s city limits. The remaining two percent of funds would be allocated to miscellaneous transportation projects, such as expanding bike lane coverage, running air quality control tests, dirt road paving, and other administrative planning costsi.
