Prop. 200 1986 Election

A major milestone in Buffalo Park history took place March 4, 1986 when Proposition 200 appeared on the ballot of a City of Flagstaff initiative election. Voters approved the proposition 3,538 to 2,278.

We wish to Thank Flagstaff City Clerk Stacy Saltzburg for finding and sharing the original Resolution, Publicity Pamphlet and results from that pivotal election.  We also Thank Laurel Matsuda, Staff Assistant for the Clerk of the Coconino County Board of Supervisors for her assistance in forwarding our request to Ms. Saltzburg.

Official Title:
1-85-1 A Measure to Maintain Buffalo Park Solely as a Public Park, Proposed by Initiative Petition.

Text of the Initiative:

No other use or incompatible development shall be allowed in Buffalo Park, including but not limited to, paved roads or highways for use by motorized vehicles. The undedicated fifty-five (55) acres adjoining the eastern portion of Buffalo Park is hereby dedicated as an addition to Buffalo Park and is described as follows: That portion of Lots 2 and 3, including the SW 14 of the NW 14 of Section 11 owned by and located in the City of Flagstaff.
