This measure increases Carlsbad's expenditure limit for acquiring or improving real property from $1 million to $3.09 million, adjusts the limit annually based on construction cost increases, and exempts public safety facilities from the spending limit. The change updates a limit that was originally set by voters in 1982 to account for inflation.
