Cholla District Weekly Update

October 10, 2025

Dear Cholla Residents,

In an effort to protect and preserve crucial infrastructure, the City Council has placed two important bond questions on the ballot this November. Voters will have an opportunity to voice their opinions on two critical issues.

The City of Glendale Communications and Media Team created a webpage with details about each Bond Question as well as produced a video for each of the questions. Here is a direct link to the webpage and videos: Glendale 2025 Bond Election

Bond Question 1 asks voters to invest in storm drains, pipes, inlets, and catch basins to ensure safer roads and remove water during heavy rainfall and monsoons.

$30 Million

Bond Question 2 asks voters to invest in city operations facilities that help support critical operations such as the maintenance of public safety vehicles as well as other city vehicles, fuel stations, traffic signals, streetlights, and street signs. City Operations facilities are also used to maintain equipment used for roads and right-of-way preservation, graffiti removal, and building maintenance. These bonds will also make health and safety repairs to aging municipal facilities, including replacing swamp coolers with modern HVAC, safety improvements, as well as water conservation and energy efficiency.
