Special Community Designation Requests Policy
Summary
Maricopa now has a formal path for community groups to earn official city designations — like dementia-friendly or sensory-inclusive community status. The catch: designations must be community-initiated, led, and funded, so no city dollars are on the hook. Council approval is required for each one.

Impact analysis
None directly — the policy requires designations to be community-funded, so the city won't pay for signage, fees, or program costs.
Residents with disabilities, caregivers, and any community group seeking official recognition — plus the broader community through more inclusive events.
