Town Of Wellton

Town Of Wellton The Town of Wellton is a full-service community. We invite you to learn more about our well town. You can learn more about our history. RV parks are abundant.

Located 29 miles east of Yuma, Arizona, the Town of Wellton, is a center for business, services, recreation, and a leisurely lifestyle. We are home to over 2,800 people and countless winter and retired residents. Surrounded by the Gila Mountains and local farms, the gorgeous sunrises each morning, the warmth, and sun-filled days, it is no wonder that folks have been coming to Wellton to rest and enjoy the town’s quiet setting. You’ll discover our friendly town is a safe haven for you and your family. We have a rich western history stemming from our roots as a water stop for the railroad (hence Well Town – Wellton) and the Butterfield Stage Coach. We host several annual events like the Tractor Rodeo, Pioneer Days, an old-fashioned 4th of July, Fishing Derby, and Tri-Valley Celebrations. With the growth of Wellton comes the growth of our town facilities. We’ve built a new Family Services Center that also hosts the medical clinic. The Butterfield Golf Course provides a leisurely game with the Gila Mountains and brilliant orange sunsets as a backdrop. The community pool with its large slide adds a respite for the hot, dry days during the summer. You can plan your next winter visit here and find your RV rest stop. In addition to our town, we are close to Yuma (the third fastest-growing metropolitan area in the country), shopping, and history. We are approximately 2 ½ hours from Phoenix for the major league ballgame and 3 hours from San Diego for an ocean visit. See a map of the Wellton area. We invite you to learn more out about our little well town. Take your time and we look forward to your visit.

Information on Ballot Proposition 438-Permanent Based Adjustment

Background

Based on a formula adopted by the State Legislature in 1979-80 The State of Arizona imposes a
state-imposed expenditure limitation on all Arizona Cities and Towns based on revenues collected in
1979-80. The formula determines the amount of money that can be spent on municipal services each
year, regardless of the amount of money the Town collects. The formula provides an annual
adjustment to account for inflation and population
changes; however, it does not account for new services, rises in operating costs beyond population
and inflation, new facilities, new programs or revenue growth or available revenue.
Permanent Base Adjustment?
Permanent Based Adjustment allows a city or town to permanently adjust its based limit with voter
approval.
The Economic Estimates Commission will use the adjustment to calculate the expenditure limitation
beginning with the fiscal year immediately following the fiscal year that voters approve the
Permanent Based Adjustment. Permanent Based Adjustments apply to all future years; however, voters
may adopt additional adjustments.
What happens if the Permanent Based Adjustment is approved?
If approved, the Town will be able to spend available revenue and operate under the Permanent Based
Adjustment option for budgeting its expenditures.
What happens if Permanent Based Adjustment is not approved?
If not approved, this would force the Town to reduce services such as police and fire protection,
public works or discontinue these services as the Town will not be allowed to exceed the
state-imposed expenditure limitation.
What happens to the funds that are received but the Town cannot use?
The funds would stay in the bank, and the Town would not have access to them until the voters
approved of another alternative expenditure limitation.
Will Proposition 438 increase my taxes?
Proposition 438 will not increase taxes. The Permanent Based Adjustment does not authorize the
Wellton Town Council to create taxes, nor does it enable the Town to spend beyond the revenue it
receives.
What is the difference between a Home Rule Expenditure Limitation and a Permanent Base Adjustment
Expenditure Limitation?
The Permanent Base Adjustment Expenditure Limitation allows for more certainty in budgeting beyond
a four-year planning period. The Home Rule Expenditure Limitation must be approved every four years
by the voters where you may never need to go back to the voters with a Permanent Base Adjustment
Expenditure Limitation. This will save administration and election costs for the Town by not having
to go out to the voters every four years.

Información sobre la Proposición de Boleta 438-Ajuste Permanente Basado

Antecedentes

Basado en una fórmula adoptada por la Legislatura Estatal en 1979-80, el Estado de Arizona impone
un límite de gasto estatal a todas las ciudades y pueblos de Arizona, basado en los ingresos
recaudados en 1979-80. La fórmula determina la cantidad de dinero que se puede gastar en servicios
municipales cada año, sin importar la cantidad de dinero que recaude la ciudad. La fórmula
proporciona un ajuste anual para tener en cuenta la inflación y los cambios en la población; sin
embargo, no contempla nuevos servicios, aumentos en los costos operativos más allá de la población
y la inflación, nuevas instalaciones, nuevos programas o crecimiento de los ingresos o ingresos
disponibles.

¿Ajuste Permanente de la Base?
El Ajuste Permanente de la Base permite que una ciudad o pueblo ajuste permanentemente su límite
base con la
aprobación de los votantes. La Comisión de Estimaciones Económicas usará el ajuste para calcular la
limitación de gastos comenzando con el año fiscal inmediatamente siguiente al año fiscal en que los
votantes aprueben el Ajuste Permanente de la Base. Los Ajustes Permanentes de la Base se aplican a
todos los años futuros; sin embargo, los votantes pueden
adoptar ajustes adicionales.

¿Qué pasa si se aprueba el Ajuste de Base Permanente?
Si se aprueba, el pueblo podrá gastar los ingresos disponibles y operar bajo la opción de Ajuste de
Base Permanente para presupuestar sus gastos.

¿Qué pasa si no se aprueba el Ajuste de Base Permanente?
Si no se aprueba, esto obligaría a la ciudad a reducir servicios como la policía y protección
contra incendios, obras
públicas o a suspender estos servicios, ya que a la ciudad no se le permitirá exceder el límite de
gastos impuesto por el estado.

¿Qué pasa con los fondos que se reciben pero que el pueblo no puede usar?
Los fondos se quedarían en el banco, y la ciudad no tendría acceso a ellos hasta que los votantes
aprobaran otra limitación de gasto alternativa.

¿Aumentará la Proposición 438 mis impuestos?
La Proposición 438 no aumentará los impuestos. El Ajuste Permanente de la Base no autoriza al
Concejo Municipal de Wellton a crear impuestos, ni permite que el Municipio gaste más de los
ingresos que recibe.

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre una Limitación de Gasto por Autonomía Local y una Limitación de Gasto
por Ajuste de Base Permanente?
La Limitación de Gasto por Ajuste de Base Permanente permite tener más certeza en la planificación
del presupuesto más allá de un periodo de cuatro años. La Limitación de Gasto de Autonomía Local
debe ser aprobada cada cuatro años por los votantes, mientras que con una Limitación de Gasto por
Ajuste de Base Permanente puede que nunca tengas que volver a los votantes. Esto ahorrará costos de
administración y elecciones para el Municipio al no tener que acudir a los votantes
cada cuatro años.

Mantente Informado:
El Pueblo de Wellton estará organizando reuniones comunitarias informativas en la Cámara del
Consejo, ubicada en:
28634 Oakland Ave. Wellton, AZ 85356
Se invita a los residentes a asistir a las siguientes reuniones:
