It is anticipated that the final language for the November election ballot measures concerning the Chicago Cubs spring training project will be determined by the Mesa City Council on Thursday, July 1. Likely there will be two issues involved. The first deals with the necessity of obtaining voter approval for any expenditure above $1.5 million for any sports related purpose and the second will probably seek authorization for an increase in the existing hotel tax in Mesa.
Although voters will be asked to approve this facility, it is unclear whether the city intends to disclose any information about where it will be located or what it will look like. On April 1 of this year the Mayor promised voters “we will have a specific site and we will have pictures. We will have plans…..well before the November election.” Exactly when this will occur is unknown, but it is already July and early ballots go out in September. It probably depends on the city’s definition of “well before.”
