§ 37427 City Property Sale Election

Key Takeaways

  • •The city government can decide to sell some property.
  • •Before selling, they must ask the people who live in the city if it's okay.
  • •They do this by having a special vote (election) just for this question.
  • •The city sets the date for this special vote.

Example

Imagine the city wants to sell an old park to build a shopping mall.

The city can't just sell it. They have to ask all the voters in the city first. They will set a date for a special vote where everyone can say 'yes' or 'no' to selling the park.
