G.O. Bond Uses
General Obligation bonds (G.O. bonds) fund a host of capital improvements that directly affect the
basic needs and quality of life of every Albuquerque resident. These improvements include
police and fire facilities, vehicles and equipment; basic street and storm drainage improvements;
public transportation improvements; medians, parks, recreational and open space facilities;
cultural institutions, including the libraries and museums; senior and community centers; all
these capital facilities and more are funded primarily by general obligation bonds. Revenue
bonds typically fund improvements to the Sunport, Double Eagle II Airport and to the Solid Waste
Management and Disposal systems.
GO Bond Planning Process
The planning process for preparation of the capital program is a collaboration among Mayor
Timothy M. Keller and his staff, the public, and the City Council. The City Council undertook
an analysis of the capital program and conducted two public hearings before it was amended and
adopted on April 17, 2023. The 2023 general obligation bond program will be placed on the ballot
for voter consideration in the municipal election scheduled for Tuesday, November 7, 2023.
