county stadium districts; annual budget
Purpose

A county stadium district may be formed if a governing body or a county board of supervisors, whichever applies, determines that the public convenience, necessity or welfare will be promoted by establishing the district.

The board of a county stadium district must hold a public hearing to adopt and submit a budget for the following fiscal year. Statute outlines the information that must be included in the annual budget. The board of a county stadium district may amend the budget on a finding of good cause (A.R.S. § 48-4232).
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this legislation.
