Top issues during term (20)
water district election
economic development
This could bring in a ton of cash for the city, but we might also see higher utility bills or need to upgrade infrastructure.
immigration enforcement
No immediate financial impacts are mentioned, but future decisions could affect city resources.
election information
This is all about getting out the vote, not your wallet.
Civic Center planning
Your input could shape how taxpayer money is spent on this project.
police chief hiring
Hiring a new chief could mean big bucks for recruitment and salary, but it's an investment in the city's safety.
pedestrian safety
This could mean more money spent on better crosswalks and maybe even traffic calming measures.
city council elections
Your vote could impact city spending and taxes, so pay attention to who's running!
hotel tax
Your next hotel stay in Gilroy might cost you more.
emergency declaration
Emergency declarations usually free up fast-cash funds for local flood fixes, which hopefully saves everyone from pricey property damage later.
housing shortage
We might see fewer affordable homes built, making it tougher for people to find a place to live without breaking the bank.
95 Howson Street Townhome Development
Private investment in downtown housing with public sidewalk and right-of-way improvements.
food truck regulations
This could mean more business for local food entrepreneurs and more dining choices for residents.
housing plan
Depending on what the state says, we could see a lot more or a lot less housing development, which affects construction jobs and property values.
county budget
This huge budget means potential service cuts or tax hikes down the line for us.
historic monument installation
While exact installation costs weren't highlighted, taxpayers will ultimately foot the bill for putting up—and potentially maintaining or guarding—the contentious monument.
open space funding measure
Your wallet might feel a little lighter, but our natural spaces could get a big boost!
city goals
This process could shape future spending and investments, so your input matters for how tax dollars are used.

infrastructure funding
