Boulder City Question 2 — Capital Improvement Fund Annual Spending Limit (Clark County)

What it does

Shall the City of Boulder City be authorized to expend available funds from the Capital Improvement Fund in an amount up to fifty percent (50%) of the most recent audited fiscal year’s ending cash balance in the Capital Improvement Fund each year in place of the previously authorized amount of One Million ($1,000,000.00) per year for capital improvement projects for the benefit of Boulder City residents and visitors?

A YES vote means

Boulder City could spend up to 50% of the Capital Improvement Fund's most recent audited year-end cash balance each year on capital projects, instead of the current $1,000,000 per year.

A NO vote means

Boulder City's spending from the Capital Improvement Fund would stay at up to $1,000,000 per year.

Needed to pass

A simple majority: more than half of the YES and NO votes on this measure must be YES. Leaving it blank doesn't count either way.

Left–right lean

Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).

Background

According to the City's explanation and digest, Section 142 of the Boulder City Charter sends a portion of proceeds from the sale or lease of City land into a Capital Improvement Fund, and 20% of the proceeds from the City's solar, battery storage and natural gas facility leases in the Eldorado Valley Transfer Area are deposited there.

The digest states that Charter Section 143.1 requires voter approval for all expenditures from the fund, that voters previously authorized $1,000,000 a year for maintaining and improving City facilities and infrastructure, and that the fund grows by approximately $3,000,000 a year.

If approved, the City could instead spend up to 50% of the fund's most recent audited year-end cash balance each year on capital improvement projects; the digest states the measure would not raise taxes or fees.

The City Council approved the question for the ballot at its regular meeting on February 24, 2026, according to the City Clerk's ballot questions page. The official ballot pamphlet includes an argument for passage (the current cap is outdated given rising construction costs) and an argument against (spending without a project-by-project public vote would reduce transparency and could create long-term maintenance costs).

Put on the ballot by Boulder City City Council, February 24, 2026 (vote not stated on the City's ballot questions page).
