Maintain our Identity
The new city will have legal boundaries that will protect our area from being annexed to neighboring cities. Our community will preserve our local heritage and identity.

Local Control
Decisions are made by a locally elected five-member city council that is willing to propose and implement policies based upon the priorities of local residents, and is only accountable to the residents of the new city. Keeping our sales tax dollars local means the millions of dollars in tax revenue from sales tax, a portion property taxes, motor vehicle fees and franchise fees that currently go to the county would now remain in the city.

Prioritizing Public Safety
One of the key reasons for becoming a city is the ability to set our own level of services. Improving the level of city services such as law enforcement, emergency response services and traffic control will be determined by those priorities set by the residents. The locally elected city council will decide priority expenditures of the community's tax dollars, rather than the county spending these funds.

Accountability from a Five Member City Council
Currently, our area is generally represented by one county official. Residents would vote for and elect a five-member city council to provide representation for issues that are important to you. The five-member council would be accountable to residents in the new city, giving greater access and a stronger voice to the Menifee area.

Improve our Quality of Life
The new city will enhance our quality of life by attracting quality jobs, retail opportunities and improve critical public safety services, making it a great city in which to live, work and raise a family. Local decisions will be made by locally-elected officials. This provides for the greatest opportunity for both business community and residents to work together to provide for the best economic development and public service plan for the community. This will foster the long-term success of the business community, while maintaining the exceptional quality of life currently enjoyed by the residents today.
