Register to Vote in Time for the March Election
Goodyear’s next city election will be held on March 12, 2019. February 11, 2019 is the last day to
register
to vote, update your address or make other changes to your registration. Goodyear is an all-mail ballot and the ballots will be sent to voters at the address on their registrations.
At present, the city of Goodyear, by Charter, holds elections in the Spring of odd-numbered years. On March 12, 2019, the city of Goodyear will hold a special/primary election for voters to determine:
- who will fill three seats with current terms ending in 2019 on the City Council;
- should the city move to a consolidated election cycle in the Fall of even-numbered years;
- should the City Charter change to provide that only votes for the subject office should be used to determine the majority of votes cast for a given office; and
- should the induction dates of newly elected City Council Members be changed to the first Regular Meeting in the month following a General Election.
The city’s Mayor and Council Members are elected to serve four-year terms in a non-partisan election. Council Members have a three-term limit, and serve staggered terms with the other three Council seats to ensure continuity.
For more information, check out the City Clerk’s election information

Real Change, Not Spare Change

not
giving them spare change. Instead, consider giving in a way that helps solve the problem.
Give

one of the many charities Goodyear Police are working alongside:
Consider these statistics:

- Many suffer from addiction
Thanks for being the REAL CHANGE that is needed!

Be a Good Neighbor... Follow the Codes

Don't Be a Repeat Offender
|
The City’s Code Compliance Division enforces City Code and works with property owners on violations in order to arrive at voluntary compliance. Once a violation is confirmed a code officer will issue an Advisory Notice as the first step. This first step is intended to educate the citizen, so that it can be resolved. The code officer subsequently schedules a follow up inspection 10 working days later. A result of this inspection will either be resolution or a Notice of Violation. Once a Notice of Violation is issued, the property owner has an additional 10 days to resolve the matter and another inspection is scheduled. At the end of that 10 day period, if the violation is not resolved, a Final Notice is sent with one last 10 day opportunity to resolve the matter. If the matter is not resolved at that point then a citation is issued and a court date set for 30-45 days later.
This voluntarily approach works very well with most violations. However, on occasion code officers encounter the same owners concerning the same violations on a recurring basis. This scenario results in a cycle of notices, inspections, and reoccurring unresolved matters.
Council recently passed an update to the city code to clarify the process and notify potential repeat offenders that
repetitive violations of the same offense within two years of the original violation, will result in an immediate citation.
