General obligation bonds allow municipalities to finance major capital projects through borrowing backed by property taxes. According to the City, the proposed library bond would be secured by existing property tax capacity and would not require a tax increase.
The ballot asks voters whether the City should be authorized to issue up to $26 million in bonds to acquire, plan, design, develop, construct, improve, renovate, modernize, automate, furnish and equip the Thomas Branigan Memorial Library.
Approval would authorize the City to issue the bonds for the library project. The question does not require the City to issue the entire $26 million.
The proposal is one of the local decisions facing voters in the Nov. 3 general election.
Additional information about the project and proposed financing is available on the City’s 2026 GO Bond information page. Election information, including voting locations and schedules, is available through Doña Ana County Elections.
