Top issues during term (10)(General)
La Habra Branch Library Renovation and Long-Term Lease
The county is funding approximately $6.6 million in renovations, saving the city's general fund from massive capital and operational expenses.
oil industry expansion
This fight could cost the city money now, but it might save us from future health and environmental cleanup bills.
sinkhole repair responsibility
Taxpayer money is likely on the line to fix these gaping holes in the ground.
fracking ban
This could mean big changes for oil companies wanting to drill, potentially costing them millions.
sanctuary city laws
It's unclear if this whole legal fight will cost taxpayers money, but it could definitely change how law enforcement budgets are spent.
sinkhole response
Residents are worried about the cost of repairs to their homes and yards, and who's going to foot the bill.
religious display
It won't cost much to put up a sign, but any potential legal challenges over church-state separation could drain taxpayer funds.
Termination of Unbuilt Cannabis Development Agreements
None.
city manager appointment
This leadership shuffle likely means continuity in how your tax dollars are managed, but we'll have to wait and see if any new financial priorities emerge.
