Top issues during term (8)
school board election
The winning board members will have direct control over how your tax dollars are spent on local schools.
zoning ordinance lawsuit
This saves the city from racking up massive legal bills and unlocks future economic growth through new housing construction.
housing code lawsuit settlement
This settlement removes costly legal roadblocks, potentially lowering housing costs over time as more units hit the market.
school property acquisition
Buying a major federal property won't be cheap, meaning local taxpayers could see shifts in how education dollars are spent.
zoning code dispute settlement
Clearing this legal hurdle unlocks stalled development, which should boost local economic activity and eventually help rein in skyrocketing housing costs.
housing discrimination investigator
While the exact salary isn't mentioned yet, adding a new city staffer means taxpayer funding will go toward local enforcement and legal investigations.
personnel change
Depending on any potential retirement payouts or legal fees tied to the investigation, taxpayers might foot a temporary bill, but a permanent replacement will stabilize the legal budget.
ranked choice voting
Implementing the new voting system could require minor upfront costs for voter education and machine updates, but long-term expenses are expected to stay relatively normal.
